Great Modem
on October 29, 2016
Posted by: Platypus
Verified Purchase:Yes
Replaced service provided modem with this Arris modem in an attempt to speed up download speeds. There was an obvious improvement in speeds using this modem. My service provider said that this Arris modem model is one of the "best out there." I am very happy with it.

Little Different than IPad Air it Replaced
on October 14, 2016
Posted by: Platypus
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this IPad Air2 to replace a three year old IPad Air that had started to malfunction. Although there are some improvements in this new Air2 , for my purposes, it works pretty much the same. That is, it works well. If you want major improvements from the iPad Air or prior models, wait for the next edition of the IPad or get the IPad Pro

Keep your phone on the side, and let this Sony Cyber-shot digital camera do the work. It enjoys a 18.2-megapixel sensor and an 30x zoom so that you can focus on the action and get highly detailed shots. Powerful flash modes and solid low-light performance means this Sony Cyber-shot digital camera gets the results you want. ..

Great Point and Shoot Camera
on September 10, 2016
Posted by: Platypus
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the third Sony point and shoot camera of this type that I have owned and it is by far the best (I lost the other two!). What makes this camera better than the prior two cameras is the 30x optical zoom lens and the pop up optical viewfinder. When taking photos outdoors, the LCD display, as on most cameras, is close to useless. The optical viewfinder is perfect for those outside shots. You actually know what is going to be photographed. My other camera is a high level Nikon DSLR. Although the photographs taken with this Sony camera are not as high a quality as can be achieved with the DSLR, they are entirely acceptable for most uses, especially when they will not be enlarged above an 8 by 10 size. It's a great camera when you don't want to or cannot lug around a heavy DSLR and a camera bag full of lenses.

Memory Card Works Well
on September 10, 2016
Posted by: Platypus
Verified Purchase:Yes
The card works well in both my Nikon and Sony cameras. It processes data input (high Meg. Photos) and downloads relatively quickly. As I have not used the cards for a long period of time, I cannot comment on their durability, but prior usage of cards of this brand has been trouble free.

Good, relatively Inexpensive Household Monitor Sys
on September 10, 2016
Posted by: Platypus
Verified Purchase:Yes
Security Camera System works well and provides real time video of household interior as well as temperature and air quality conditions. System requires that wi-Fi system be in operation at all times. Although system usage does no require a monthly charge, to fully utilize the system's many features and capabilities, monthly fees are required. The cost of the monthly fee varies with the level of capabilities. Set up of the system and information regarding its operation are available on line. Only minimum operational written information for the system is provided with the product. This makes initial set up of the system somewhat of a chore.

Excellent Screen Protection for iPhones and Ipads
on July 22, 2016
Posted by: Platypus
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had Zagg protective glass screens on my iPhones and iPads for the past few years. In every case except once they have protected the lcd displays from scratches and cracking. The one time it did crack, so did the lcd screen but the IPad dropped from over 6 feet on to a concrete floor. Zagg replaced the glass screen for free with no questions asked

More of a Toy than a Watch or Activity Tracker
on July 22, 2016
Posted by: Platypus
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this watch only because it was on sale for less than 100.00 at Best Buy on a tie in with the purchase of an IPhone. In its current configuration, the Applewatch has only minimal usage. It has no GPS. The battery charge lasts only about a day. Because the watch face is so small many of the APPs on it are difficult or silly to use. Did I know what I was buying? Well, yes. Would I recommend it to anyone else. No. But, if you must, wait until the next models come out with most likely improved, upgraded electronics and the next operating system. I do, however, love the Mickey Mouse clock face!!!

High Quality Ink....but the Price!!!
on November 13, 2015
Posted by: Platypus
Verified Purchase:Yes
Although the quality of the ink is somewhat truer and better than using refill ink, the price of the ink for the quantity provided in the cartridge is ridiculously high. The actual cost of the ink turns out to be well over a thousand dollars a quart.

Fair to Good Sound,Cheap, Non Utile Remote Control
on September 18, 2015
Posted by: Platypus
Verified Purchase:Yes
The audio produced by this sound bar is significantly better than that provided by the new 40" Sony TV to which it is attached. That being said, the quality of the sound , especially the base , is not as good as the prior year's model of this unit. Also requiring comment, the remote provided with this unit is many levels lower in quality and utility than the prior model's unit. It looks and feels like a piece of junk. I've noticed this reduction in quality and utility with all Sony audio and video product remote controls over the past few years.

I put this card right into the camera, and it said it was unable to accept. So, I tried formatting w/ the cam to no progress. I tried the same in my iMac, and same issue. Any ideas on how I can get my money's worth with it? Other cards work in both!
I got the same notification as did you when inserting the memory card into a relatively new Sony camera. The camara however did offer a method to format the memory card. I followed the suggested method and it worked. If you can't get it to work, bring the camera into a camera store and ask them for help, or go to the camera brand's web help site.

what are the main differences between the htct770 and 780?
Having trouble finding the difference between the 770 and 780. Please help?
I have both a 770 and a 780 unit. I prefer the 770 unit . To me, the 770 unit has a richer "basier" sound. Also, the remote control for the 780 unit compared to that provided with the 770 unit is a piece of junk and has significantly less utility. If I could, I would trade in the 780 unit for a 770 unit.
