Good for switching between Ubuntu and Wndws 7

Strengths - the switch worked without having to install anything onto either of my computers. The automatic key combination is scroll lock scroll lock. It works with my mouse, keyboard, monitor, and speakers.
Weaknesses - The speaker cord is too short to reach my desktop and my laptop the way it is designed so I had to get an extension cable, but other than that I have no issues.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, works with linux and windows
What's not so great: Speaker cord is too short
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing game
on July 15, 2010

I would say the online experience is the best for this game, but if you are not hooked up to Xbox Live and still want a good game Call of Duty has it.
Special Ops is never ending it seems and adds a lot of difficulty to the game.
The campaign was fun and the different difficulties actually make it really hard.
I would buy this game if you own a console.
What's great about it: Everything, but mainly online play
What's not so great: Graphics could be better and there are some glitches here and there
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hilarious movie if you like these types of movies
on December 17, 2009
Posted by: NickC
from Cincinnati, OH
This movie is one of my favorite movies I have seen in a while. The little kid does an amazing job. He does curse a lot in the movie, but it adds to the humor if you are into these types of movies. I would say this is geared towards college students and young adults.
I think this is a must see movie because there are so many one liners in this that will be remembered for a while.
What's great about it: Bobbie E Thompson, everything else
What's not so great: Cinamatography because its a comedy
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good CD but Eminem is a little twisted
on December 17, 2009
Posted by: NickC
from Cincinnati, OH
The CD basically falls right in line with all his previous CDs only now that he has proven to be a good artist he seems to be continuously pushing the limits. I personally enjoy the CD, but others who have heard it thought it was quite messed up as far as lyrics go.
I will still say that Eminem is a lyrical genius. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless they have listened, and liked, eminem before.
What's great about it: Good lyrics as usual, some catchy background,
What's not so great: Very dark, ominous, and twisted
I would recommend this to a friend!

A tiny powerful fan
on July 26, 2009
Posted by: NickC
from Cincinnati, OH
This fan is a really good fan if you want one to help cool a decent size room. For the size of the fan it pushes out a lot of power.
The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that there are only 3 settings, but it seems finding a fan with more than that these days is hard to do.
I would recommend this product to anyone looking to keep the airflow constant in a house.
What's great about it: Very Powerful, circulates very well, reliable
What's not so great: Only 3 settings
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dose Best Buy Sale Capture Cards?
a Capture card is a little like a flash Drive but it records all thats happing on the screen pluse adio i need 1 for a project it takes video and you may put it on ytube or google can you please help?
To my knowledge best buy does not carry capture cards for the Xbox 360. All that I know they carry is the dazzle and the pinnacle capture items. This might be something you will have to find third party.

Best glare resistance TV
If you are looking for a glare resistant tv I would recommend steering clear of plasmas because they have a glass screen on them, but I would recommend looking at LCDs some are going to do better jobs than others. The best advice I could give is to either go in the store and check them out yourself or read reviews from other customers and see what their experience is with glare.

what is the difference between plasma and lcd
Plasma is going to give a better picture overall and have a better refresh rate; however, they also generate a lot more heat and there is a perception that they don't last as long as LCDs, but that is still to be seen. If you are looking for a TV to go into a well lit room an LCD would be better because they have a matte finish on the screen that doesn't reflect as much as the glass screens on the plasmas.
Both TVs are good it just depends on how you are going to be using and what size you are looking for because Plasmas generally start around 37" and go up whereas LCDs are manufactured in the smaller sizes.
A question like that can probably best be answered in any Best Buy store with the lifestyle needs for you.

Does the extended warranty start after the manufactuers warranty is over?
The extended plan (black tie protection) starts the date of purchase because it does cover more than the manufacturer warranty does. The manufacturer warranty is a limited warranty and mainly covers defects that are set aside by the manufacturer. I would recommend the extended plan, but would take a look at the differences between the standard, advanced, and premium and decide what is best for you. It is nice to know that Best Buy is backing your product for 4 years and they come to the home to fix it.

what's a difference between 1080p and 740p?
The difference between the two is the resolution, 1080p has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and 720p is 1064 x 768. 1080p is obviously better, however the only thing out there that is able to take advantage of this is Blu-Ray. I would recommend going with a 1080p tv because Blu-ray is eventually going to be the new standard as DVDs are now.

cna I use my old 30 year outside antenna and still get a HD picture if I buy a HD television
You can still use your old antenna as long as it hooks up to the coaxial input, but would probably be better off getting an amplified one as they get a clearer picture on the HD channels.

are there any others options to go online with my xbox 360 besides the offical wireless adapter
Another option you can use is either a gaming adapter or a network bridge, both are the same just named differently. I would also try googling to see if there are any wireless adapters that are plug and play. Any adapter that requires a driver won't work because it doesn't have the Windows or Mac operating system.

is this something really worth buying?
I would absolutely recommend buying this, but only if you have a very large music library. If you only have a thousand or two songs I would recommend looking at the Nanos. This Ipod is very good though and is backed by the Apple name which is very high in quality.

Can you get a financing plan for the ipod touch?
I don't have enough money on hand, and I really want to get the ipod touch right now, so i was wondering if it comes with a financing plan.
You can finance it for sure. If you don't get anything else with it you will be able to get the 90 days same as cash with the Best Buy Credit Card, and if you spend over 299 you can get the 6 months no interest or 48 months with 11.9% Interest.
