Fun throwback with modern graphics
on August 11, 2016

Very fun to revisit I this game as I originally had this game on N64. I was young and it was very difficult at the time, but as an adult now I was able to make it through the game much easier without a lot of online tutorials. The game is quite different than Ocarina of Time structure wise but still very fun.

Good entry into the smart home!
on January 8, 2016
Posted by: Isaac54

After looking to jump into the connected light bulb world, I got the Hue Starter Set for Christmas and have been happy with the product. Setup was a lot easier than I had initially thought, but beware that the light bulb bridge does require a wired connection to your router. From there, adding the lights is simple using the smartphone app. They start working right off the bat and you can set numerous presets to fill your room with color. I have enjoyed setting alarms that coincide with my regular alarm to help me get out of bed in the morning - you can even set them to fade on in the morning instead of turn on right away. I also like the geofence option to turn on your lights when you get near your home but only after sunset. I love walking into my home with the lights already on. I want to dive more heavily into IFTTT and see what else I can do with my Hue lights.
In the future, I want to add the LED light strips beneath my kitchen cabinets. But with these products still set at a premium price, it will be a little bit yet. I'm also considering the connected light bulb that does not change colors. I've been happy with my purchase this far!

Awesoem addtion to my Sonos speaker network
on January 8, 2016
Posted by: Isaac54
from Amery, WI
I purchased this after I bought and set up a Play:1 Starter Set and have been happy with the addition of this speaker. It looks very nice and fits in well with my home. It packs a really good punch with loud, crisp, and clear audio and is complemented nicely by the two Play:1s I have set up in other rooms. Setup was a breeze when I added it to my already existing Sonos speaker network. Very happy with this purchase. I was able to snag an open box for this product and it saved me a good chunk of money.

Great start into the Hi-Fi listening
on January 8, 2016
Posted by: Isaac54
from Amery, WI
This is my first step into the Sonos ecosystem and I have been impressed this far. I originally purchased a black starter set but then decided to exchange for a white set which looks better in my home. The speakers have a really solid build quality and thoughtful design. Setup is a breeze and Sonos goes out of their way to make it easy for anybody to set up. Once you have one set up, additional addition Sonos products takes no time at all.
I currently have 2 Play:1s set up in two different rooms and also have a Play:3 set up in the living room. Sound quality on the Play:1 is good and really packs some good bass for their size. The Sonos app is pretty straightforward and after adding some services like Pandora, Spotify, and iHeart Radio, you are good to go. Just open up the app and start playing music. I did have some difficulty to begin with in understanding how the queue worked, but I eventually figured it out. I have been happy with my purchase and look forward to using Sonos for years to come.

Smart Keyboard available at Best BuyThe new Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro has all the utility of an ordinary full-size keyboard, but its technology is far from conventional. The entire keyboard is draped with a custom-woven fabric that has been laser ablated to precisely define each key and ensure a satisfyingly fast and natural key feel. Below the surface of Smart Keyboard is a new conductive material. At just 0.1mm, it is nearly as thin as a piece of paper, yet strong enough to withstand a lifetime of folding. And it's why you won't find any batteries, cord or on/off switches with Smart Keyboard.

A good, not great keyboard case
on January 8, 2016
Posted by: Isaac54
from Amery, WI
After a long enough wait, the iPad Pro Smart Keyboard finally arrived and completed the trifecta of the iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, and Smart Keyboard. My iPad Pro finally feels complete!
The Smart Keyboard sits at a premium price, though I don't feel like the price is totally justified. You can get an Apple TV for less than this case. Price aside, this case does what is was advertised to do. It covers the screen when you are not using it and it props the iPad Pro up at one set angle when you are using it. The keyboard has good feedback for being so thin and the keyboard does not feel cramped like some mobile keyboards.
There are some things I would like to see improved in the future. I wish it was backlit so you can type better in the dark. Squinting at the keys with the light from the screen is difficult. Also, the absence of a dedicated home button seems strange. You can do a keyboard shortcut with Cmd + Shift + H, but it is far from ideal. It also feels strange that there are not brightness, volume, or other shortcut keys. Also, the globe key on the bottom right is pointless to me. Couldn't the button be implemented on the bottom of the screen to pull up emojis or change the keyboard language? It seems weird that this key exists, especially since the copy/paste button lives on the bottom of the screen when you type.
Overall, this is a good product even though it is expensive. It is my main case since I have it paired with the silicon case and I am happy with it. There are just some improvements I'd like to see for future iterations of this product.

Even with its 12.9-inch Retina display, the largest and most capable iPad ever is only 6.9mm thin and weighs just 1.57 pounds. It has a powerful A9X chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, four speaker audio, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity¹, iCloud, the breakthrough Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and up to 10 hours of battery life.² It also includes great apps for productivity and creativity, as well as many more incredible apps available in the App Store. And with powerful new features in iOS 9 like multitasking, iPad Pro can do things no iPad has done before.

Awesome iPad but check your expectations
on December 14, 2015
Posted by: Isaac54
from Amery, WI
I upgraded to an iPad Pro from my iPad Air and will not go back to the smaller screen. The added real estate on this device is awesome and it makes the device feel more like a tool than a media consumption device. When you first open the box, you will be shocked at how large this thing is. But that feeling goes away after a few days of use and then you will be wondering how you ever got by with a smaller screen. The iPad is thin, pretty light for it's size, and has an absolutely beautiful screen. Camera's aren't great, but nobody should be using the camera for anything else except FaceTime, seriously people. The iPad runs very fast and I have not run across any speed issues on any apps.
Apple will claim that this can replace your laptop, but I am mixed on that pitch. I think it is a great device, but you are still limited by the features of functionality of iOS. File management is far from perfect and Apple still locks down some settings like not being able to use a different default web browser, email client, etc. If iOS keeps moving in the productivity direction, this would be a good product for some people.
App support for some of the great features including the new keyboard layout, picture in picture, and split screen are still rolling out into more and more apps. But expect some early adopter annoyances first. I'd also recommend the Apple Pencil - it is a great accessory. Still waiting for my Smart Keyboard though...

Best Option for Laptop-ish Experience
on December 14, 2015
Posted by: Isaac54
from Amery, WI
As a fan of Logitech's (or is it Logi's) earlier keyboards for iPads, I immediately purchased this keyboard to use with my new iPad Pro. It is a solidly built case and it is a little bulky. It also adds a good amount of weight to the iPad, but it also provides you with the closest experience to a fully functional laptop-style keyboard available on the market.
The keyboard is a breeze to use. Just open up the case and set your iPad near the docking connecter and it will snap into place with a satisfying click. It feels really stable while in laptop mode and there is enough support when using the touch screen. The keyboard features a full number row as well as a function row for on/off, brightness, playback, and search. This is really helpful because the case does cover the on/off switch and volume buttons and the plastic is really resistant, making those buttons hard to press. The keyboard has a good amount of tactile feedback and does not feel mushy. And the backlighting is great and with the new connector on the iPad, the keyboard never needs to be charged or paired. It all happens seamlessly when you click the iPad into place. You can also fold the case into a tabletop mode, which is nice for using a sketching app or holding in your lap to watch videos. The case also feels very durable and is covered in a tough cloth-like material.
A few things I think Logi could improve is the bulky heft of the keyboard. Although it does feel very stable, the case is pretty thick and I feel they could trim off some of the fat on this case. It adds a lot of weight to an already heavier device, so don’t expect this case to be really sleek and light. Sliding the iPad in and out of the case is also a little intimidating and tough, but I understand they had to secure the iPad in the case. It just made me very nervous getting the iPad into the case.
Overall, if you’re looking for a case that gives you a laptop like experience and you don’t mind adding bulk or heft to your iPad Pro, I would highly recommend this case. It is strong, secure, and typing on it is great. But if your looking for sleek and thin, you should probably look elsewhere.

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Perfection at a premium price
on December 1, 2015
Posted by: Isaac54
from Amery, WI
The Apple Pencil, though expensive, is an absolute joy to use. Pairing with your iPad Pro is nothing more than popping off the magnetic end and plugging it into the lightning port. The Pencil has a good weight to it and feels substantial when holding it. It is also weighted so that when you set in on a table, it will roll to one side with "Pencil" on the silver end facing up. A nice touch for a beautiful accessory.
I mainly use the Pencil with the app Procreate to sketch and draw, although it also works great in Apple's Notes app. Using it is intuitive and seamless with minimal lag when drawing. Precision is fantastic.
I only wish you could flip it around and erase with the other end. And I'm afraid I am going to lose it somewhere...other than that, it is great. Expensive, but great!

Excellent Bluetooth Speaker
on September 17, 2015
Posted by: Isaac54
from Amery, WI
Although this is not my first Bluetooth speaker purchase, it is by far one of my best purchases. Before, I had a Big Jambox, which eventually died out and was looking for a versatile larger multiuse speaker. This speaker offers a distinctive design and really good sound. It is rather lightweight compared to the Big Jambox, which is nice for traveling. It also is tough - I never feel like I'm going to break it. I've used it outside, in the shower, camping, and around the house. Bluetooth range is great - the best I've experienced with a Bluetooth speaker. I love that it is waterproof and it really lets you use it more carefree than other speakers. The tripod mount is a great touch, letting you stage the speaker.
One thing I REALLY love is that the Bluetooth connection allows you to turn the speaker on from your phone - you don't have the physically go and do it. I also love that the audio does not have a delay if you are watching video - some Bluetooth speakers have really bad delay which does not let you watch a movie with audio over Bluetooth. One thing I wish it had was a "next" button built on the speaker, but now I am being picky. Great speaker overall and I would highly recommend it.

Decent game
on February 17, 2012
Posted by: Isaac54
from Amery, WI
I really like playing Mario Kart and it looks great in 3D. The graphics are nice and there a few game tweeks that are a nice hint. The new levels are cool as well. The amount of characters is a step behind the Wii Mario Kart. A few things that hold this game back is cart customization, repetitive "retro" levels, and length of game play. The amount of time I got out of this game is far less than Ocarina of Time 3D. Don't get me wrong, it's fun!
What's great about it: 3D effect is cool, clean interface
What's not so great: Repetitive, would have like more new levels

is there a camera that has good picture quality and also has good video quality? Or is there a camcorder with good picture quality? for a teenager

I would suggest this following Canon camera. It's a little pricey at 219.99, but if you're looking for great video (it has HD) and good picture quality, this is what your looking for. This next price range down does not have HD video which means lower video quality. Most cameras have good photo quality to begin with, so this camera would be a great buy for a teenager.

I have a an 8GB San Disk Card that won't fit into my Epson picture mate printer. What kind of an adapter do I need?

I purchased a new Sony digital Camera from Best Buy and purchased the memory card . Memory seems to be a little short for my Epson Picture mate printer. I'm sure I need an adapter but I don't know what kind.
By the sound of it, you are using Sony's Memory Stick Pro Duo. They actually sell an adapter for about $10, but this may not even work if your printer does not accept Memory Stick Duo. All this can be averted if you use your included USB cable to print your pictures.

Digital Camera for mother

Hi, I am looking to buy a great, easy to use digital camera for my mother who is not very tech savvy, any suggestions?
I would get her a camera with nice large buttons with an easy user interface. The two cameras that come to mind in the Canon SD1400 ( http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Canon+-+PowerShot+14.1-Megapixel+Digital+Camera+-+Black/9766919.p?id=1218170030335&skuId=9766919 ) or the Sony W370 ( http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+Cyber-shot+14.1-Megapixel+Digital+Camera+-+Red/9796937.p?id=1218183129815&skuId=9796937 ). The Canon is a good option since it has a simple layout and good picture quality. The Sony is just as good but it has and "easy" setting which would (not to be rude) dumbs down all the settings and controls. I would suggest the Sony because if she takes the initiative, she could do a lot more with it.
