Sctuslly Decent Movie
on July 3, 2014
Posted by: Wishkid
from Florida
Actually the movie is not that bad, It has very good 3D effects al lot of action and a lot of blood I mean a lot, I felt like I was watching mortal kombat. This is not a sequel or prequel is like the movie goes on par with the first then beyond making look like there will be a third. Overall enjoyable movie few fake scenes here and there like the horse part, but a good movie.

Excellent Tablet/laptop
on March 25, 2014
Posted by: Wishkid

MS Surface Pro2 is an excellent table/laptop/pc. I replace my PC and laptop with this tablet and one of the main reason was it runs windows programs. Everything that you was able to do on your laptop or PC you can do on this tablet if you don’t mind the 10” screen. PC gaming is not my priorities so I cannot comment on that. Battery life is not that bad at all, it gave me about 7 to 8 hours of constant use and standby approximately about 5 to 7 days with minimal used on one a single charge. The tablet will take like 1 to 2 hours to fully charge using the magnetic charger that easily snap on and off. The screen is nice and vivid regardless the low PPI count but it is still 1080p. The touch screen is very responsive and for some reason the glass feels very smooth oily like which I like it a lot because my finger doesn’t stick to the glass it just glide on it, even after wiping the screen it still feel the same. This tablet weight about 2lbs which in reality is not really that heavy for average person either way this thing was made to be use with two hands due to the portrait layout, you can also rotate it upward and feel much better one handed. Surface is very well made doesn’t feel cheap at all, but I really wish they added a silver color option like the RT version, the black magnesium is a finger print magnet LOL.
If you’re a windows person you must have a keyboard you will notice you will use the keyboard more often than the actual touch screen. I only use it as a tablet when I’m doing quick internet browsing or checking email, using the XBone Smartglass, and watching videos, when doing actual work keyboard snap right back on. I have the touch cover 2 because is light and can be clean with damped clothe and is water spill resistant. Touch keyboard feels weird at the beginning and you can make a lot of missed spelling but you get used to it. Also the touch cover can be fold all the way back so you don’t have to detach it to use the touch screen, it also light up best part. I did try the type cover 2 didn’t like it, it make the tablet little bulkier. So far on this tablet I have run all my windows base programs and they run without a problems.

Storage, I have the 128GB version which is not a lot depending on your usage, luckily you have and SD card slot and a USB3 socket and cloud storage which can easily expand storage to a little over 200GB on top your 128. You can easily filled 128GB and from the start you only have available around 98GB due to the OS system files and recovery. You can easily manage that by adding 64GB SD card or 128 USB stick and save or your files there and only use the internal storage for applications. MS give you 20GB free Skydrive storage which automatically sync with your surface and google give you 25GB free with goggle drive that’s another 55GB. If you have a router at home that support cloud drive that’s also an advantage use your hard drive, I have 1TB drive that I can access from the cloud or at home, so storage now days is not an issue.
Connectivity, Bluetooth, Wifi and MDP no NFC or AC connection they dropped the ball there, I guess they saving it for the SPro3. With the BT you can share almost anything with a BT compatible device, I usually share files between my GalaxyS4 phone and Surface using BT is fast and simple. Wifi connection I very reliable I have not encountered any issues with that, you can also Mirror your Surface screen using Wifi connection and a smart TV that support WIDI, I do that with my LG TV. I have not try the MDP port no need to use it. The built in speaker are not bad, their more like an average it sound flat. Also Surface Pro comes with a Stylus Pen only used it once or twice to try it out and is pretty accurate and you can actually erase by using the pen eraser the same way you use a pencil. The device has 2 cameras, which can record in HD 720p but the pictures are not that great they could done a lot better with that.
Windows 8 is not for everyone just need to have patience and actually start using it so you can get accustomed to it. A lot of us are used to windows 7 but with this thing just click desktop and there it is. If you miss your start menu that’s easy Startdock8 that will bring the old windows 7 Start button. Windows 8 is a learning curve but is a sleek system specially the live tiles is a nice touch, is not perfect but I like it. Windows store is not consistence and does not have a lot of Apps, in a way doesn’t affect me much since I use windows programs not many mobile apps. So if you looking for a tablet that can do real work perform as a PC or a tablet with good battery life I recommended the Surface Pro2. I have owned this device since November and I love my Surface. I forgot to mention the built in kick stand is a plus with 2 different positioning option.

Excellent Speakers
on June 5, 2013
Posted by: Wishkid
from Florida
I purchase these speaker to replace my Mirage Mx, they were good speakers but I was missing the mid range, which these speakers provide. Let me tell you for the prize and size these speakers provide an excellent sound from mid range to high. I purchase 6 of these for my 7.2 surround sound. They are not really big speakers but they produce a big sound, I mainly got them for surround and for music they sound OK. The built quality is excellent with nice glossy black finish. have them hooked up to a DENON 2312Ci at 80hz all around and with a DefTech Pro2000 as center. I decided to go with the Pro2000 due to the size of my room the 2000 are a inch bigger than the Pro1000CC and for 100 more was definitely worth it. BestBuy does not carry the Pro2000 you have to find elsewhere. These speakers worth every penny go to the Magnolia and check them out is what I did after researching online. For the wall mount Def Tech have their own pro mounts but the price too high I found the Omnipro 10.0 work the same and way cheaper and they go about 90 degrees, for my front speakers I use some other mount found online which swivel 180 and the speaker sits flat on the mount. For the center channel I used the Def Tech Pivot mount which it was about $20 and bring two mounts which is what you need for the Pro Centers. If your looking for small good speakers and at decent price don't go any further DeftTech is the way to go. I added some picture of the mounts.
My current setup:
Receiver: Denon 2312Ci
Surround: Def Tech PM1000
Center Channel: Def Tech PC2000
Subs: 2 Mirage MX will replace 1 with Pro1000 Sub

Excellent Performance and Range
on April 8, 2013
Posted by: Wishkid

I use it in...:Large home
I was very skeptical about this router even though after much research since Asus was not actually a router builder. I have owned this device for about 3 month and it has prevailed very well after the few hiccups at the beginning. First thing first if you buy this router make sure you update the firmware, that was one of the main issues I had in the begging after setup, some of my connections were dropping and that’s due to faulty firmware, I even though about returning it. After upgrading the firmware it took two of them, and the issue was gone. Second if your familiar with router setup use the advance setup not the wizard, I tried that and it was a pain in *** I could not get connected to the internet no matter what, so I end up resetting the router and do it the old fashion way advance mode, after that no issues. Another thing other has mention this router does get hot you don’t need to touch after setting it up but is something to mention since I experience it when removing some of the hard drive I have connect it to it.
Pros: Range is excellent this was one of the reason I replace my old Linksys E4200. Internet speed and routing are a pro I finally getting HD with no lag streaming two Xbox at the same time. I have over 18 devices connected to this router I it performed like a champ no wonders it cost so much. Cloud service easy to setup and you can access from any were including your phone. The two USB are a PLUS hook up two TB hard drives and your set, no need to store on your device and they are easily accessible. DNLA some people claim is not support it they are wrong, I have use it and it works very well specially if you have android phones and like to stream you can use your router DNLA to do that. Also this router looks bad ** it looks like it was made out of carbon fiber and the Status lights of the front are a plus you can easily know what’s connected and working and what’s not.
The Router Admin setup screen is not the best but not either the worst, there are pros a cons to it, one of the best thing you can see what’s going on in the main page such as clients connected it, USB, cloud, and so on. One thing I personally don’t like is that to setup 2.5 and 5 GHz you have to toggle between the two is not big deal but they could of make it simple to do it in one location. Another thing that is missing is the ability to hide guest SSID if there is an option I have not found it. Also you cannot rename clients connected to it, that’s something I really missed from the Linksys I could rename the client so I could easily identify what was connected to the router. Everything else such as setup a cloud service was very simple. Some more network knowledgeable people can take advantage of the advance power options this router has such as the QoS traffic management and other.
Overall this router does what it is intend to do, it cost a lot but you get what you paid for, and if you do research on this router will still come up as one of the best when it comes to performance. I highly recommended, and I’m very happy with my purchase.

Excellent Movie

Posted by: Wishkid

This I believed is one the best COPS movie out there after Training Days, It has drama, to action, suspense and comedy, yes there is a lot of talking but that is part of understanding the story line of the movie. I'll give credit to the director by putting this type of film out there showing the real work and how our Law Enforcement Officer risk their life in the line of duty to save others. There are certain part of the movie that will be very emotional, as for any LEO who watch this film they now what am talking about is a remainder of the true challenge they face every time they wear that uniform. This is an Excellent movie and must have in collection, and after you seen this movie I hope mentality has change and when you see an Officer have the courtesy to thank them for the Job they freely and voluntarily sworn to do.

Don`t waste your time or money!

Don't waste your money or time on this movie is absolutely horrible. First the story line is stupid or dumb, second the main actress her acting is bad really bad,i dun not know why so many good known actors put up for this film because is one of the worst movies I have seen. Totally I regret buying this film after 30 mins of watching it I couldn't wait to get to the end and guess what if the movie was bad the end was even worst. I feel really sorry for (Corona) her first main film and is horrible I don't know if the writer and producer did this on purpose to make a point. The sounds effect was another draw back on this film specially fighting scenes. what actually got me to buy this film was the good advertisement and trailer showing good actions scenes and that's pretty much you will actually see. I really regret buying this film I wish I can get my money back.

At the time I'm posting this, the Wi-Fi model ships with broken Books and YouTube apps (major advertised features). Motorola support said it's a known issue and an update is coming soon, but if they didn't catch this in testing it makes me worry about what else they missed. Researching online it seems this issue may only affect models Best Buy carries. Android has some great features but for a tablet that on paper is so much more powerful than an iPad I'd expect to be able to scroll down a page without jitters. The screen feels/looks inferior to iPad, in my opinion. Whites colors have a nasty yellow tint.

After spending $200 on a router you would expect a great working device, sadly to say that hasn't been my experience with this device. It is constantly dropping wireless connection and that was the main reason I ditched my old one.
I went through tech support trying to see if they even had a clue as to what could be wrong, but all they would offer was a reset, launch the router in rescue mode, upload latest firmware. This equals to the same poor results. I replied back telling them I have the same issues and they simply say (and I quote) " Your information has been documented and forwarded to the appropriate contacts for further review and improvement. " Meanwhile I'm left with a 200 dollar brick.
I'm going to exchange it for another one hoping I have a defective device.

Sam313, i had the same issue with previous routers, this might help, is you have a wireless home phone 5.GHz make sure they are wireless router friendly, those phone tends to interfere with the signal and dropped your router connection hope this might help it work for me after i replaced the phone.

Update 4/16/2013
April 16, 2013
After I left my initial review few days later Router went bad, I honestly don't know what cause it. The router was not connecting to the web even though it was connect it to the modem, when browse internet could not find page after few refresh it work then it goes bad again, it happened wireless and also hardwire I performed some troubleshooting and firm updates but no luck. I would really recommend if you going to spend the money on this router you may want to purchase the warranty service from Best Buy it will save you any hassle in the future since you can take it to the store and get a new one. I received an RMA within 24hrs that wasn't so bad, the worst is that you have to send the router to them and pay for the shipping one way, they well send it back to you after repair and ground service I send it air 3 days service, that's awful service after speeding so much on this router. Any way RMA will take approx. 3 weeks according to them so if this router is your primary you will be out of luck, luckily my modem support WIFI. This comment will not by any means regret my purchase is an electronic device and they can go bad, this just an update since I cannot over write my initial review, I learn my lesson next time if you going to spend a lot of money on high end device pay the extra cash on BB warranty, you may not use it but look my situation now I have to wait 3 weeks to get a replacement, the router went bad approx. 3 month after purchased seen similar to other negative reviewers. But overall the router does what it supposed to do when is working. Knock one Star out for the awful warranty support, so it will be 4/5 stars.

The two USB are a PLUS hook up two TB hard drives and your set, no need to store on your device and they are easily accessible. DNLA some people claim is not support it they are wrong, I have use it and it works very well specially if you have android phones and like to stream you can use your router DNLA to do that. Also this router looks bad ** it looks like it was made out of carbon fiber and the Status lights of the front are a plus you can easily know what’s connected and working and what’s not.
The Router Admin setup screen is not the best but not either the worst, there are pros a cons to it, one of the best thing you can see what’s going on in the main page such as clients connected it, USB, cloud, and so on. One thing I personally don’t like is that to setup 2.5 and 5 GHz you have to toggle between the two is not big deal but they could of make it simple to do it in one location. Another thing that is missing is the ability to hide guest SSID if there is an option I have not found it. Also you cannot rename clients connected to it, that’s something I really missed from the Linksys I could rename the client so I could easily identify what was connected to the router. Everything else such as setup a cloud service was very simple. Some more network knowledgeable people can take advantage of the advance power options this router has such as the QoS traffic management and other.
Overall this router does what it is intend to do, it cost a lot but you get what you paid for, and if you do research on this router will still come up as one of the best when it comes to performance. I highly recommended, and I’m very happy with my purchase.

Finally received my router yes it took long time. Let me start by giving this router 5* stars and here is the reason why: Today 5/14/13 I received a new router not a refurbish but a new router in the box with everything. When I hooked it up guess what same issue started again so now in really convince is not the router nor the Modem. I was trouble shooting this thing for almost 5 hours until finally got the solution. If you have Comcast and you have the triple play you may received a modem Arris TG862 which act as a modem and wireless router. That being said, make sure you are using a Ethernet cable Cat5e( included with the Asus router) minimum Cat6 better, that will enable the T1000 connection between your router and the modem but that was not the problem. The whole problem was with the ISP all along the TG862 modem act as a router so when you connect your Asus router to that modem it will start having issues obtaining DHCP address. That's why it was dropping my internet connection because it was dropping the WAN because it could not renew or obtain that DHCP address. How did it notice going into the Asus router Log screen you will see many times WAN connection stopped then try to re-start. How to fix that call Comcast and tell them to turn the routing feature OFF from the modem and turn it into BRIDGE mode. That will let the Asus router to the routing and will fix that connectivity problem hope this help others in the future.

I seen the 4K picture in store and it looked awesome. But when I got the TV home and seen the screen in regular 1080 resolution I regretted it immediately. My friend bought the Samsung 65" 1080P 240hz the same day for $2500 cheaper and his picture and features are a lot better in my mind. I actually think my TV I replaced with this (samsung 58" plasma) had a better picture also. Disappointed!

This is my 6th Sony television and the best yet! This TV is an upgrade from my Sony 60" 1080p set. I love being on the cutting edge of television technology! Easy to set up and more apps than you will ever need. I also pre-ordered the 4k player. Hopefully it comes soon. The picture is astonishing! The 3D is unbelievable. What precise 3D should be. So much better than with absolutely no shadowing. Watching Avatar, the little flying creatures look like they are in your room. So much so, that you are truly tempted to reach out and grab one. I compared this tv with several others and Sony has the best picture, features, etc. Best Buy makes you comment using a minimum of 50 characters. Let me just sum it up with one word "WOW"!

3 out of 5Great features but dark scene performance kills it
By ErickRPG
I purchased a 75" because I wanted to upgrade when my 70" panel failed. The bright scene performance is amazing, even on 1080p blu rays. But because of the IPS edge lit panel when it is a dark scene the bad contrast ratio really shows. Lots of grey and it's very dull and washed out. I had read that this TV was slightly better in all ways than my LG 70LB7100. But to be honest with you, I think the 3D in this set is actually not as good as my old 1080p LG. And I think the blacks were even just a tad bit better on the older TV. When I say 3D it just feels as if the 3D does not pop out as impressively as the old set. There is no crosstalk. I ended up sacrificing screen size and went with the 65" OLED because black level performance on this set is horrid.

Did you calibrated the TV to see if the black level performed any better?
I saw a floor model and notice the 'edge bleed right away that's what is holding me from buying it.

My husband bought me the Apple air buds and they are too big to fit in my ear. Are the Belkin earbuds smaller than Apple’s air Buds?
They are smaller and more comfortable than regular airpods. these kind of resembles the airpod pro and work in the same manner in which you have to plug them in the ear. it comes with different size foams that you can use to adjust the right size.

Can the SoloCam L40 (or any other SoloCam cameras) use the Solar Charger accessory?
The manufacturer does not clearly stated if it does, but I believe it do because on the camera power manager option setting on the L40 you can choose the power source from internal battery or solar power.

Will this work with an iPhone 12Max with a Mous Limitless 3.0 case. Anyone foolish enough to use any gimble w/o some sort of protection is just asking for trouble IMO. I really want to pick one up but not if it won’t work with a case.
I used it with an Android galaxy note 20 and I had a case on it. The clamp expanded wide enough to support the case. So to answer your it most likely work with your iPhone and the case.
