Great streaming options from a stick!
on November 23, 2014
Posted by: TechnicallyWell

The Fire TV stick is a great way to make your TV “smart” and add a wide array of entertainment options. Setup is quick and easy, and there are plenty of streaming and gaming options.
PROs
+ A remote! This is the one thing I did not like about the Chromecast: it’s just takes to long too unlock your phone, go back to the app, and wait for it to sync up… just to pause a video.
+ The small stick is easy to install. All you need is an open HDMI port on your TV and a WiFi network.
+ Plenty of streaming video options: Netflix, Hulu Plus, Crackle (free movies!), YouTube, WatchESPN, and many more.
+ Streaming music is included, too: Pandora, iHeartRadio, Spotify, and Amazon Music
+ Games! Sonic, Game of Life, Flappy Birds, and over 200 more!
+ Supports both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi networks.
+ Snappy processor and ample memory storage make the user interface fluid and responsive.
CONs
- Some of the more intensive games, such as Minecraft, are not available on the Fire TV Stick (but are available on the Fire TV Box)
- A lot of the 8GB storage space is not available due to system files (only a little over 5GB is free to use)
- Entering your login credentials on the remote is cumbersome.
- I had some issues setting it up at first (update wouldn’t download, account won’t authenticate, etc), but I will blame that on overloaded servers. The issues eventually resolved a few hours later.
- The iOS app was not available yet, so I didn’t get to test that functionality.
If you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, or have purchased content from Amazon’s Instant Video or Music services, or just want an easy way to watch Netflix, the Fire TV Stick is a great, low-cost option to enjoy streaming content and cut the cord!
TIP: Want to cut the cord but have a few favorite shows that are cable-only? I’m a fan of The Walking Dead, so I purchase a season pass for less than eight bucks a month (less than two dollars an episode) on Amazon Instant Video and I can watch it the next day on this streaming stick, my iPad or my Kindle Fire. Commercial free! And it’s stored in Amazon’s cloud, so I can re-watch it whenever I want. It is like unlimited DVR!

Cool way to charge your phone
on December 28, 2013

The box for this cable bears the "Made for iPod, iPhone, iPad" MFi designation, meaning that it uses Apple-approved connectors. I have had no issues with this cable charging my iPhone 5S, and while the lighted animation effect may seem gimmicky, it's actually really cool to watch. When my battery gets around 90% full, the animation slows down, and the animation eventually stops when the battery is full. Nice product!
My Best Buy number: 0966083741
What's great about it: Animated blue lights while charging
What's not so great: USB connector is a little bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

Experience the side-scrolling fun of Super Mario Bros. in a new way: in the company of your friends. New Super Mario Bros. Wii provides exciting new multiplayer action that lets you play cooperatively and competitively with up to three other players. Roam through the exciting and challenging side-scrolling worlds solo-style, as in previous versions of the game, or gather a group of friends or family to combine your talents in a fast-paced free-for-all.Play as Mario, Luigi or one of two Toads, and encounter other fun characters from throughout the Mushroom Kingdom as you make your way through the game. Lend a hand to your fellow players to help save them from danger, or push them in the path of it to clear your own way to victory. Make use of the motion-sensing capabilities of your Wii Remote to employ fun tools, including seesaws and the exciting new propeller suit, which shoots you high into the sky. Ride atop various Yoshi characters, and use their tongues to your advantage, whether swallowing enemies or fellow players.

Brings back memories
on December 6, 2009

I grew up with Mario, so it's awesome to see this game included a lot of elements from the early games, like the sound effects, music, and even Yoshi. The multi-player is a great addition, except for the fact that some of the levels are near impossible to beat with multiple people on the screen. A nice feature is the ability for your friends to go into a "bubble" by pressing the A button. This keeps them out of the way and allows you to complete tough jumps without running into each other.
What's great about it: Includes a lot of elements from the early Mario games
What's not so great: The difficulty seems somewhat high
I would recommend this to a friend!

Step up from built-in laptop optics with a webcam that delivers crisp, smooth and colorful widescreen HD 720p video with a 60° diagonal field of view, fixed focus and auto light correction that adjusts to the illumination of any meeting space. The single, omnidirectional mic features noise-reduction technology and is engineered to support clear, natural conversation up to 3 meters away, even in busy environments like open workspaces and classrooms. Plus, the extra-long USB-A cable and universal clip let you position the webcam on your computer or mount up to 7 ft away.
 

what is the difference of an HD webcam that is 1080p and the C505 at 720p. what is the main difference between the C505 HD & the C270 HD

For things like Zoom/Skype/Teams video calls, a 720p webcam is fine and can help save some bandwidth compared to a 1080p camera. You likely won't notice a difference in video quality as Zoom/Skype/Teams compress the video feed anyways.

Get rich, room-filling sound with this Sonos One SL speaker, and control it with the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay 2, and more. Pair it with Sonos One or another One SL in the same room for stereo separation and more detailed sound.
 

Are these weatherproof? Can I use these outside? Went to the Best Buy store last weekend and was told yes, but can't find it stated anywhere in the specs.

No, the Sonos One SL is not weatherproof nor is it waterproof. It is "humidity resistant," meaning that it can be placed in a bathroom and the humidity from the shower won't cause an issue harm it. However, it can not be used as a permanent outdoor speaker.

Are the new Sonos sl any different and better than the play 1 and if so what’s the difference

As far as sound quality: the Sonos One SL is virtually identical to the Sonos One and also very similar to the original Play:1. The main difference between the Play:1 and the Sonos One SL is that the One SL has AirPlay 2 capabilities. AirPlay 2 allows you to stream music directly from your iPhone, iPad or Mac.

Are the apps provided without cost?

I do not have a cable provider so would Watch ESPN be available without a provider at no additional cost?
WatchESPN does require a cable provider sign-in. So it is not completely free, unfortunately.
