This USB A to C is a well-made, sturdy cable. It is long enough (6 ft) to use the phone while it's charging. Additionally, it's usb-2 compatible, so it can be used with higj- speed chargers.

This is the latest version of Sony's PS gaming consoles. The major improvements over the previews versions include a faster cpu, a definitely improved graphics chip, and 4k compstibility. It can display 4k streaming games. The video quality is gorgeous, and the responsetime to the controller is excellent. Its only major drawback is that you cannot use a 4k Blu-Ray with it. It will upscale HD Blu-Ray discs beautifully, but I can't recommended it as a movie player. That's the only reason I can't gjve it 5 stars. Otherwise, I would have no reservations about it at all. At about $100 less, it's a better value than the XBox, and the controller is better.

This is a good movie overall. It stays true to the main facts, but it does deviate from the Biblical text in some areas. Many of them are minor and do not do violence to the truth, but some are more serious. One of those is the story of Lazarus. The movie changes it in too many ways. It has Jesus entering the tomb and speaking softly to Lazarus, while, in the Biblical text, Jesus stayed outside the tomb and called Lazarus in a loud voice. This is important because it allowed witnesses to see the miraculous nature of the resurrection.
Overall, it is more accurate than not, and it has several other good points. The photography is excellent, with many truly beautiful scenes.
The depiction of the passion of the Christ is accurate without being gory. Seeing it, one can almost feel His agony in this movie.
Overall recommended. If you're familiar with the gospels, you'll notice the deviations from their narrative. As I said, most of them are minor, and thry keep the story moving, but some are serious enough to allow me to give it only 3 stars.

This review applies to both the polarising and UV filter. They are both good quality filters, equal to the better quality lines of better-known brands. The frames feel solid and well-made, the glass is clean, and multi-coating (usually available on more expensive versions of some brands) reduce image degrading reflections. Since almost everyone uses a zoom lens that goes from wide-angle to short telephoto as a normal lens, an added bonus is the thin frame, which minimizes vignetting at the wide end.

Excellent Basic & Simple Coffee Maker

I was in the market for a good but basic coffee maker Just one without having to navigate multiple menus, one that lets me choose my coffee or blend, one that lets me choose the quantity of coffee and water I want to use, etc. In other words, one that lets me make the decisions, not it.
This coffee maker fits the bill. It has a bold setting which I like. It makes excellent, rich, deep, dark coffee for me (I tend to like the very dark blends). As I said excellent coffee, easy to make. And very reasonably priced, too. If you don't want the coffe maker to make the decisions for you, choose this one.

A line of high quality, reasonably priced filters

Best Buy's Platinum brand filters have both the look and feel of high quality products at reasonable prices. This polarising filter is an example. It's a very well-made filter. Multi-coated polarising filters from well-known quality manufacturers similar in quality to this one usually cost twice as much. Save money and get this one.

The filter came in impressive package that promised a well-made product. The filter inside lived up to its promise. The mount was high-quality metal and felt solid and durable. The glass and coating were, as expected of a high-quality product, flawless. And the price was very reasonable considering the quality.

Fitting End to an Excellent Series
on June 17, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Peter Jackson has done us an excellent service by bringing Professor Tolkien's Middle Earth to life. The writing loses none of Mr. Tolkien's tone, the photography varies from very good to breathtaking, the characters and monsters look about as a reader visualized them (mostly, anyway), and the cg characters are faithful to their descriptions. The actors all give performances at a very high level indeed. One forgets that they're actors and sees the characters themselves. A viewer goes from saying "well acted" about the actor to saying "well done" about the character. Where Mr. Jackson trumps the Ring cycle is the Hobbit. In taking a small (but fine) young reader's book and adding extra-textual material from the appendices he turns it into a Ring-sized epic while giving us background happenings that illuminate many historical references in both books. Throughout all this, he maintains the same high standard from beginning to end. This is a series that's truly faithful to the original source. Professor Tolkien would surely have given it an A. Well done, indeed!

Can I install a new Windows Home Premium software on a 5 year old hp laptop ?
I had a hp laptop given to me that's 5 years old and when I start it up it says I need to install a windows repair disk. My laptop I have now is over 10 years old so i am not able to upgrade it.
The message you're getting means that the Windows installed in the computer is damaged, but you probably already knew that. If no repair disk was made during installation, or if one is unavailable, the best thing to do is to take it to a local Best Buy Geek Squad. There buy a Windows 10 upgrade and have them install it. They will probably have to do some repair to you old Windows first, such as extracting the ".cab" files in order to do so. If your cmputer is not capable of taking Windows 10 for some reason, such as insufficient RAM, hard drive space, or processor capability, but these should not be a problem in a relatively new computer. If one or more of these problems exist, buying a new reasonably priced computer would be less expensive than trying to upgrade an old one.

Hi I have windows ultimite 7 I started messing with advanced setting's and can't back out now I have a blue screen? what do I do to fix it
No but I bought my lap top there.
Try shutting down the computer and removing the battery. If this doesn't fix the problem, do the following.
Since you don't state what you specifically did, in what order, and the results on the screen, it would be best if you took it to a store and had a member of the Geek Squad analyze it. They have more diagnostic tools than are generally available.

Bought wrong version of Mirosoft
Is there anything that can be done if I bought the wrong version of Office. I need Publisher and Home & Student 2013 doesn't have it. Already opened package and daughter downloaded for me before I realized.
You can buy Publisher separately. When you install it, it will automatically add itself to Office. Since you already opened and downloaded Office, it is non-returnable and non-refundable.

These headphones feature an extended frequency response with an increased sound pressure level of up to 110dB for accurate sound reproduction. The folding design and carrying case provide easy portability.
Looking for headphones specifically for voice-over work.
I used to have a Sennheiser headphones (with 3.5mm jack) to connect to my Mac for voice over work. I've heard Bose is excellent also have a Sennheiser wireless for TV and music in another room, but need something that is crisp, has good response and overall specs. Willing to spend up to $300 for a pair of exceptional headphones.
I have 2 pairs of Sennheisers I purchased at BB, but they may not be available depending on where you live. If you can find them, they are the HD 280 Pro and the HD 380 Pro monitor headphones. They are $200 and $300 respectively. They sound almost identical except for some difference in the lowest bass. If you can't find them, Magnolia in Best Buy stores has several headphones that are very natural sounding on music and speech, some of which are in your price range, including some Sennheisers among others. They also have different configurations, such as on-the-ear or over-the-ear. Go and see what they have. Check the headphones in both the regular electronics division on the main sales floor and the Magnolia section to be sure you got the best buy! :-)

system crash
sonyvaio netbook went dark and then came cameback insafe mode. it willnot reboot to normal and is denying me access to server thru all options. what happened, and how to resolve this problem ?
This may be due to some malware your computer picked up. Try a cold boot (totally shut your computer down and remove the battery for about a minute). If this doesn't work, do a malware scan with your anti-virus software. Make sure you have the latest update installed! If the problem persists, take the computer to a repair center such as Best Buy for a diagnosis and cure.

How do these compare with the Beats Mixr's?
Hi I recently cracked the sound of my Beats Mixr's. I was wondering how well these would hold up at high volumes. Thank you.
They would hold up well, but you should consider the Sennheiser HD280s. They also are pro monitor headphones, they sound almost identical to the HD380s, seem to be built even more sturdily, and are about $100 less! I have both, and the difference in sound between them is so small that it took extensive listening and instant switching between them to hear any difference between them, and it was so subtle that I could write the same review about either of them. Only when your music goes to the very bottom of hearing are the 380s only slightly more solid. You will hear no difference on 99.48% of all music.
As to sound, the Beats phones sound artificially boosted somewhat in the midbass, where the Sennheisers may not be quite as strong, but are a more accurate reproduction of the recording. Listen to both, and decide for yourself. Trust your ears.

anti virus
how do I determine which anti virus to use
You certainly cannot go wrong with Norton or Trend Micro. I have used both, but find Norton easier to use. Buy one that gives you all-around protection, such as intrusion protection, anti-worm protection, etc. instead of just anti-virus. The back of the box lists the various levels of protection available in each version, so you can choose the one that's best for you. If you want a specific name, Norton 360 and Trend Micro Titanium Premium are both excellent. Also go to Best Buy and ask a member of the Geek Squad which one he likes, and why.
