I am a fairly decent Mac user, so I consider myself fairly proficient with new software.
This is the first Adobe package to ever buy and use (excluding the .pdf readers) and I can not say how pleased with what they put together.
First the set-up
After initially looking for the serial number (on the PC sleeve), set-up was easy and quick. Most software packages are a digital download, so having a CDROM was a blast from the past

The software is very intuitive and follows the same patterns of icons that we are all familiar with
Now for the software. Everyone has seen "photoshopped" photos, and within minutes I was cleaning up old photos that I wanted to keep, then off to the fun stuff. Clip, cutting and pasting was simple, fun and easy. You can let your creative imagination flow and be as wild as you cared to be
This program easily showed me what I have been missing out all of these years
Overall, I would recommend this to any amateur photographer for family photos, scenic views and remembrance where the quality of the photo makes a difference

Solid

from Los Angeles, CA
This is one solid phone...
The back build is all metal, with a flawless screen. The heft in your hand says that there is much inside, and there is . The shape is very familiar, and near the same shape and form as the competitors
Screen
This is the best screen that I have seen. It is clear, vivid, and the images pop out at you much better than anything else on the market. The screen is so vivid, it almost appears 3D
Camera
The photos here are outstanding, partially due to the superior screen, but it really does take nice pictures. Again, best in class. Just send one to your computer and compare
Function
If you are used to the Android OS, then you will be very familiar. The screen transitions are speedy, and I have yet had one to hang up. The OS is also solid, without any crashes or errors
Sound
Keep in mind that this only has one speaker, so you need to keep your expectations in line. I got clear sound and volume, but it is not in stereo
Google assistant
Easy and clear to use. Intuitive, fast and multifunctional
Battery
The battery life is in line with other smart phones. If you use it a lot, expect to also charge it frequently
Unlock
Google has the fingerprint unlock feature on the back (upper middle). All I can say is genius! It fits perfectly in my hand and there is no fumbling around (and potentially dropping it) for a quick unlock

Basic tablet
on October 7, 2016
Posted by: Tony90703
First off, you get what yo pay for
This is a very inexpensive tablet, and it's performance matches the price
The feel is very light, and the materials are all plastic. The start-up is fairly slow, battery life is fair, and the screen is clear, but without any depth
The OS is consistent with Android, and fairly intuitive with enough loaded apps to get you started
I see this being good for really two (2) things
1) If you want/need an e-reader that you can travel with without fear of losing it. It is basic, but totally fills that bill. It is good for e-mails and listening to music (yes, it has bluetooth), but watching a moving might get straining
2) If your kids want a small, inexpensive tablet as a first computer, then it is also perfect. They can abuse it, and it will break, and the cost is much less than the competitors

If you are looking for a tablet for work, watching movies or anything more than basic computing, you will need to spend more with a higher end unit
Overall, this is a decent tablet for the price point, but do not have high expectations and you will not be disappointed

Good, Bad, and Ugly
on October 1, 2016
Posted by: Tony90703
The good, bad, and the ugly
What is good about these
- The sound quality is on par for Bose. Pretty good for wireless sport headphones, but average for in-ear headphones. If you are looking for booming base, and shattering highs, look elsewhere
- Very comfortable and secure. Your ears do not hurt at the end of a workout, and they stay in very well. The material is really soft, and they feel like they will fall out, but they didn't budge during a long run
- You do not get full noise canceling, so it is safer when running on the street
- Verbal heart rate is nice, and removes another device from hanging on your body during a workout. Accuracy when compared to other methods (chest, forearm) is consistent
- The cord does not catch and make noise when you run, and you can use the attached clip on the back of the shirt if you really want to lock them down
- Price is in line with other comparable manufacturers, but much cheaper than buying a wireless sport headphone and HRM
- Works with all of the workout apps that I tested them with

The bad
- Set-up instructions is sparse, and their website link to detailed instructions is broken. If you have every used bluetooth headphones, then you should be able to figure it out quickly. The only part where you might need some help, is pairing the HRM to your workout tracking app

The ugly
- These stick way out from your ears. Think "Frankenstein" and his bolts in his neck. Forget about wearing a headband or beanie that covers your ears. If you just cover the tips/tops of your ears, then you will be fine, but lookout for when it gets cold

How did I live without it
on March 22, 2014
Posted by: Tony90703
from Los Angeles, CA
I really do not know how I lived without Pebble...
I use this watch not just for the time and date, but the weather forecast, keep track of my appointments, monitor and change the temperature in my house, and see who is calling me
Recently I was at work and got a call when I was away from my phone. Seeing the caller ID on the watch, I knew that I had to take the call, and rushed back to my phone (I did not hear the unique ringer). This alone is a reason to buy one.
The only drawback is that it looks like a calculator watch from the 70's, so spend a little more and get the metal one if you can

Better than all the rest
on March 22, 2014
Posted by: Tony90703
from Los Angeles, CA
How Often Used:Daily
First off, I have been through so many headphones in the recent years that I know what I really like
So what is good about these. They really work. Many other brands only last about a month if you use them to run, and you do perspire a lot. These take the abuse, and keep on working
What is there not to like?
Like all bluetooth headphones, they do cut out a bit. Nothing to give up on them for, but remember that it does happen. It will be a short click or pause once in a while. It will be more frequent if you have a Nike+ Fuelband, Pebble watch or other bluetooth device connecting to the phone.

They are not the most comfortable, so plan on getting some premium ear tips (like Comply foam) to make them feel better
Overall they are great headphones, and I plan on keeping these for a while

Nice try
on October 6, 2012
Posted by: Tony90703
from Los Angeles, CA
How Often Used:Daily
Let me start off by saying that I have tried nearly every sport in-ear headphones on the market. This includes Beats, Monster, Klispch, Sony, Phillips, and now Bose.
The good - these sound amazing! They blow away the Monster products with the balance sound and clarity. They also stay in the ear securely, and are unbelievably comfortable. On these points, no other brand comes even close.
Now the bad - I bought these this afternoon at Best Buy, and 30 minutes into my run, they started malfunctioning. They would cause my run program (Nike+ GPS) to stop/start, my music to do the same, and Siri to keep asking me "What can I help you with?". How do I know it was the headphones? Well, first off, this is how every "sport headphone" starts to break. Second, it started right after the sweat started to pour off of me (yes, I sweat, thus the necessary water resistant headphone and iPhone case), and third, it stopped immediately after I switched to another headphone (and started again after I switched back)
I just exchanged this pair for another set at Best Buy to give them another chance. I am not overly confident that the results will be any different. I have seen this exact pattern with other brands
What's great about it: Amazing sound and comfortable fit
What's not so great: Lasted 30 minutes

Awesome sound BUT

Posted by: Tony90703
from Los Angeles, CA
Type of Listener:Avid listener
Most Important to Purchase:Sound quality
How Often Used:Daily
I bought these in the end of December. They are the most incredible sounding and feeling headphones ever. The bass booms (with Monster foam earpieces) and they will not fall out when you jog
BUT
The first pair lasted 13 days, the second 14 days, and the third and final pair a full 14 days. Each time I took them back, they gave me the option of a new pair. On the last return, I gave up and switched to Klipsch
According to the Apple store & the Best Buy employees, this is a known issue with the cable shorting out where the microphone is installed
They sound great, but for $150 the quality sure falls short
What's great about it: Fit and sound
What's not so great: DURABILITY!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Tried your reset
June 29, 2017
Still got the line on the screen
I know that you can not make a perfect product every time, but I have owned six (6) Sony XBRs over 25 years and never had an issue. I WAS a loyal and faithful TV, MP3, Vaio, etc. consumer
Sony is sending me a new one (with my credit card on file), but I will be required to pay (again) for someone to take the old (defective one) down, and replace it with the new one
I will be out another $100 (or more) because of your defect. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE
Your problems/defects should not be costing me more money
There was a time when we did not have options. If we wanted a high end TV, Sony was all that there was
Now there is LG, and Samsung that are cheaper and more feature rich. I will find out how they treat their customers, since this replacement, I will not be buying Sony again
Sony - you have lost me as a customer
