Just the right combination of size & price.

This review is for the PNY 32GB/Go Turbo USB 3.0, which is not identical to the one depicted in the picture sent to me for review (mine does not have the thumb indentation to help slide the port area cover--a better design). Price was around $16 which I considered great for a 3.0 at this time. It is the right size for my hands and for my purpose. My gig does not have 3.0 ports but I could swear the transfer speed was faster than with a regular 2.0 flash drive. I am removing one star because the US only gets one year warranty while Europe gets 2.

Bought it on sale. Small footprint; nice print quality; easy setup. Uses 2 cartridges (black & color) which are not inexpensive (HP also offers a supply service which may be good for those doing a lot of printing). Since I had a USB cable to where my original printer was, I am going the cable way. However, I did try the WIFI and printing appears as fast as with cable. No problems with VISTA or W 7.

Critics have not been very kind to this movie. To me, it was a 2 1/2 to 3 star movie worth its price (about $5). Since there are no halves, I gave it the benefit of the doubt with 3 stars because we always enjoy the Rock in action--and he does good acting here. The plot was the weakest link in the film; however, the idea of presenting Hercules as a "mere" human going around with his band of mercenaries selling the idea that he has mythical powers in order to be hired by different factions was a good one. It ends in a way that could mean a sequel--uhmm, will see.

I bought it for my Samsung S4 cellphone. I now have triple the memory for a very low price (bought during Black Friday times--about $15!). It was easy to install and instantly recognized by the phone. Now, it is just a matter of how reliable it is but, so far, I have had a good experience with Samsung products.

One of the best series of any channel

The History channel really came up with a surprise. Great acting, character development, settings, atmosphere and, yes, action. We had watched it on TV but we had to have it--specially for less than $10. The 2nd season was almost as good and we are anxiously waiting for the 3rd one.

In one series, Kings rose and fell, legends were created and turned to dust, ancient prophecies came to pass, Dragons returned to existence and the open-world genre was defined. Full of engrossing storylines, amazingly epic quests and heroics that are a rare sight to see, The Elder Scrolls saga encompasses a gaming experience that surpasses the limits of the imagination. Experience all five critically-acclaimed games, plus official add-ons, in a premium, collectible box set from the very beginning with The Elder Scrolls: Arena, to Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion and concluding with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition. To cap off the ultimate collectible opportunity, the Anthology also includes physical maps of Tamriel, Iliac Bay, Morrowind, Cyrodiil and Skyrim. Own this collection and experience the progression of a saga, the growth of a legend and the evolution of a hero.Start with Arena as a lone prisoner, and travel to Tamriel's most dangerous sites to collect the shattered Staff of Chaos to save the Empire from the nefarious battlemage, Jagar Tharn. In Daggerfall, the Emperor Uriel Septim VII sends you on a heroic path to lay the murdered King's soul to rest and secure the powerful, ancient weapon — the golem Numidium, once used to unify Tamriel, but with the terrible power to tear it apart. Set off for the island of Vvardenfell in Morrowind in a quest for the Emperor to rid the land of a dark curse. By completing a series of dangerous and magical quests, you earn your place as one of the Empire's most enduring heroes. Oblivion sends you on a search for the true heir to the Septim line on the brink of a crumbling Empire and in the middle of an unraveling, sinister plot. Welcome the return of Dragons in Skyrim as the Empire waits with bated breath for the one born with the power of the Voice and the ability to walk among the Dragons — the Dragonborn. Each heroic quest and epic challenge takes you on an adventurous path through unforgettable gameplay and an open world that is the signature of The Elder Scrolls. The Anthology gives you the chance to experience the saga in its entirety.

weeks (months, years?) of good gaming for little $

I was hooked up with TES when I played REDGUARD (no, It isn't in the anthology). As time when on, the series kept improving, with highs and lows, until Morrowind which really nailed it--although the graphics may not be as those in Oblivion and Skyrim. Such a vast world to explore freely with plenty of side quests without going into the included additions! On top of that, there's a huge community of players/programmers that keep attempting to improve the games by incorporating new features into them. For example, you can greatly improve the Morrowind graphics by downloading certain programs. For its regular price, you cannot go wrong with this anthology (I got it for less than $20!!! so its is worth 5 stars)

OK, 3 1/2 stars?

I guess these 2 films are the "movie" version of a series (which I have not seen) "with none of the filler". Perhaps, but, luckily, not all is action and "total mayhem" as indicated on the cover. Perhaps, too, the joining of episodes does not lend itself to a smooth flow. Be as it may, it is entertaining and gives some background data as to the relationship of the main characters. However, don't expect the visuals of Appleseed Alpha. For those who love the Appleseed movies, it is a must.

SynopsisFar Cry 3 is an open world first-person shooter set on an island unlike any other. A place where heavily armed warlords traffic in slaves. Where outsiders are hunted for ransom. And as you embark on a desperate quest to rescue your friends, you realize that the only way to escape this darkness — is to embrace it.

Great game in spite of my 3 star rating.

Bought it at discount (actual DVD, not the downloadable version). Taking a ½ star off because you cannot save when you want. A game should give you the alternative to either play with auto saves (some would call this the “macho” way—some would say masochist) or allow the option of anytime saves by the player. There’s limited saving you can do but, if you leave the game and come back later, you find yourself at one of the safe houses and not where you actually did your save. Taking ½ star off because the menu interaction is, to say the least, somewhat convoluted. Taking another ½ star off because of the way you need to get animal skins to craft into something to allow you to carry some or more stuff. It is not that you have to do it, it is the fact that all options are not presented in the menu but are added as you craft stuff. Let’s say you need 2 skins of a certain animal to craft a holster/pouch but then there’s a rugged holster/pouch for which you need more skins. Let’s say that you get skins to do the rugged holster/pouch and you think that you now do not need more skins of that animal. Surprise, you will see that the menu now shows that you could do a super-rugged holster/pouch. But, wait, you had those extra skins. Oh no, you had sold them so now you have to go hunting for that animal again. Taking still another ½ star off because there’s really no interaction with the misc characters you find around (as in, say, FALLOUT3). Except for that, the game has so far played great. For me, the strategy here is to get done with the hunting for skins so you are prepared to carry a lot and then start your quests. The looks of this virtual world and the ability to move all over makes it a game worth your while. It is good to be able to go at it either rambo or stealth style. With time, some things will seem repetitious but that happens in every game. Don’t let my 3 star rating make you skip this game. For under $20, it is a bargain.

This microwave substituted another small GE microwave that failed, after many years of use, because the door button broke. We like this one better not just because of its looks, but the new unit is larger on the inside. I hope that this one will last longer although that button looks about the same. While in the topic of buttons, the panel has a protective clear film that, with just a couple of months use, has become wrinkled, detracting from the looks.

I set this up easily. Although using USB 2.0, the backup was really, really fast. Let's address my mentioning that the software was perhaps not so great. It may be because I have not yet really understood how to do it--worst case scenario, it may be that the software is not intended to do this. I was hoping for being able to back everything up, including OS and programs and from there on I expected tthe backup program to just update as changes were made in my PC. That way, were my PC HDD to fail, I could just get me another HDD and download everything from this backup drive. I have downloaded something called Acronis. It came as a free download that may do (or not because it seems that it is not fully functional unless you buy the full version) what I want. Will see.

How can I keep the Envy 4500 printer from "going to sleep"

My 4500 goes off almost as soon as I print something and before I can get the next things ready to print. Is there a setting to control this?
RE: HP Envy 4500: There is a "sleep" setting under "preferences" in the main menu. Goes from 5 minutes up.
