Great Cable Modem
on February 28, 2016
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
Was looking for something powerful and better than the standard Xfinity modem. Setup was straightforward and quick. Signal strength is outstanding. Placed it on the main floor and I have no signal loss on both ends of the house on the second floor and basement. The speed is awesome. would highly recommend it.

Needed an omnidirectional lab mic for some ad hoc video production I was working on. This plugged right into my digital video camera and worked like a charm.

Great Look - Thin - Meh Protection
on June 17, 2015
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are looking for something to provide significant drop protection, look elsewhere. This is not designed for it. However if you want a case that is rigid, keeps a very thin profile, covers all sides, and looks great on the phone then this is a solid option. Fair warning, there is no raised edge on the edge so it will not protect the phone's face if placed on a tabletop face-down. Not a problem for me as I keep it face up or in my suit pocket most of the time.

DSL modem, but not for CenturyLink in MN
on June 17, 2015
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
I suppose it would work great if it had the right DSL protocol for CentruryLink in our area, but it doesn't. So returned it and got the correct one. Kudos to Best Buy on the no hassle return.

Best bet for CenturyLink subscribers
on June 17, 2015
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
Always buy your modem - it's higher up front cost, but payback is less than ten months. And if you have CenturyLink don't screw around - this is the one to get. Ridiculously easy setup. I was sceptical with no antennas, but the power and range is twice what our original Q1000 was. Router is on the second floor...no range extender needed for the basement any more.

Misfit Shine Activity and Sleep Monitor: Effortlessly track your day-to-day activities without dealing with buttons, cables or recharging. Misfit Shine tracks your activity throughout the day and even while you sleep, making it easier to live a healthy lifestyle, even when you're not in motion. Wear your activity tracker as a necklace, watch or pin.
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got the Shine for several reasons - waterproof (I never take it off to shower or swim), wanted to track daily activity outside of the gym, and really wanted something to try to keep me motivated. It succeeds for all three. The app works great, and allowed me to set my goal...I found my target after a couple days of experimenting. Gotta say I love seeing the "party lights" when I've hit my goal.
The only odd thing is that it will occasionally (though rarely) only show a single dot even though I know I've been way more active. However this is easily corrected with a quick sync with the app - in other words it is still working even though it doesn't appear to be.
Never had a problem with the unit popping out of the rubber wrist band and I'm pretty active...not sure what people who complain about that are doing.
Also, though it does have a time function, it's only accurate to the nearest 5 minutes rounding up or down - great for getting a general idea of the time, but certainly not intended to replace a wristwatch. But, not really an issue for me since I mostly use my phone to check the time anyway.
Apparently there are also several neat accessories for wearing them (necklace, steel mesh bands) that are available directly through Misfit. They look cool, but I haven't purchased any - I just haven't felt compelled to yet since the rubber bracelet is working fine for now.
Since I've only had it for about 6 weeks I can't say how long the battery lasts, though so far it's still going strong.
If you're looking for an activity tracker that's waterproof (great for swimmers) and looks better (IMHO), you'd be hard-pressed to find anything comparable that's a better value feature for feature.

This Whalen Furniture BBXL54NV 3-in-1 console accommodates most flat-panel TVs up to 65" and 135 lbs. and features 2 tempered-glass shelves, so you can keep your home theater organized. A swivel mount helps you achieve a comfortable view of your TV.
Can I keep my 65inch 4K TV on the top shelf without it hanging on to the metallic stand
Depends on base feet on your TV and how far apart they are. Measure to the outermost edges of the base and compare to the width of the unit. Of course keep in mind that if you don't mount it you should use the tip strap (included with the assembly kit) so the TV won't accidentally tip over. Especailly important if there are kids in the house.

mounting for smaller flat screen
Can you mount a 32 inch flatscreen? States up to 65 inch, but want to find out if I can still mount smaller flat screen.
Sure you could, but I suspect you'd be disappointed as the TV would be dwarfed by the size of the unit. It's really better for 50" - 65" TV's scale-wise.

Do I need a drill set to put the stand together
No. I used a screwdriver. None of the screws are long enough to need it. As with all knockdown furniture, a screw gun with out a very light clutch setting can very easily risk over driving the screws and stripping out the holes.

I have a vizio 60 inch tv model #. E60-C30 WILL it be able to be mounted on this whalen 3-in-1 consols tv stand ? model BBXL54NV
Easily. I have a 58" Vizio mounted and it's rock solid. A 60" will not be too wide or heavy for this unit.

Get your work done with this Logitech CREATE 920-007824 case, which features a backlit keyboard that connects via Smart Connector, so it never needs Bluetooth pairing or charging. Two viewing angles let you comfortably type, watch movies or play games.
I just purchased this based on reviews here on BB. Has anyone experienced the permanent scratch to glass, others have reported online? Thank you
No - and honestly no idea how that would be possible.
