I'm completely impressed with how bright this projector is - even in a bright room. Getting this projector setup - even with wifi -- was a no brainer. Great product.

A blast from the past - and an awesome product
on September 22, 2017
Posted by: perlfox

I used trackball like this many years ago and surprisingly had come to miss it. For the record, I am a fan of the 'one button' apple mouse, and have never used a multi-button mouse on mac - but this is really nice. It's aesthetically cool, comfortable, and very functional.
Pairing was a breeze - both with bluetooth and the included connection dongle. This may be my new favorite input device. Nice job, Logitech.

Very easy to setup, very useful

As the owner of several WD external drives, I have to say that this is by far the easiest to set up. WD have outdone themselves when it comes to making this drive 'idiot proof.'
What I am using it for: iOS backups, Time Machine, and shared files. All of these things were a breeze to configure.
Also - and not as important - this drive looks cool as well. I'm happy to have it out in the open.

My new favorite!
on July 24, 2017
Posted by: perlfox
So many things to say here:
-this coffee maker looks like a piece of art on my counter. Love the aesthetics
- it’s fast to brew
- love the reservoir
The coffee it brews is strong if you follow the directions, I cut back on the amount of coffee used to tame the strength.

Does the trick
on June 12, 2017
Posted by: perlfox
I expected this to work fine, as it's from Belkin -- and it did. The only hassle was dealing with the cramped, old wiring in my basement. No problems connecting to wifi or controlling with Alexa.

Very nice headphones
on March 28, 2017
Posted by: perlfox
First and foremost, these cans offer all of the sound quality I would expect from Sony. They sound great and were easy to set up.
My first concern with these were the size - they are thick. Thicker, I believe, than any wireless over ear headphones I have tried. This is not really a nit - many people seem to like these chunkier style headphones.
A note on the sound - in particular the bass. Wow. That is definitely the focus of this product, and Sony delivers. In fact, listening to some music, I was convinced that someone was pounding on my front door. Not only was the bass there, but it felt like it was off in the distance.
For the record, I am not a 'thumpy music' guy, but I can see those who do like club music LOVING these headphones.
A quick comment about the app - I'm not sure why any headphone manufacturers release these. Although Sony telly you to install through the app, the app never saw my headphones until I connected via the apple setup menu. As for fine tuning the sound experience (concert hall, etc) - I don't get it. Yes, the audio changes. Maybe some folks need this level of control. It all seems gimmicky to me.
All in all - a great headset. Worked nicely with my iPhone 7plus.

Possibly the best I have used
on March 10, 2017
Posted by: perlfox
As a professional presenter, I rely on presentation remotes to stay engaged with my audience and NOT be stuck behind my laptop. Until now, I have always used the Logitech R400 and been very happy with it. The Spotlight raises the bar on remotes.
My favorite feature? The highlight option. The top button can be configured to show a focus circle around any area on the screen (not just in presentations.) In my opinion this is much classier than using a red laser pointer.
Of note are also the options to configure this via bluetooth - although I will probably continue to use the included dongle. Also included is the app which allows many of the features to be customized.
This remote features a haptic feedback which alerts to both battery issues and presentation end times. Speaking of battery, it looks like a 1 minute USB charge of the remote gives you 3 hours of presentation time - a nice alternative to having dead batteries in the old unit.
One nit - for the price, I would have liked to have seen this ship with some type of case or protective sleeve. But this is simply a personal preference.

Returned in two days...
on January 22, 2017
Posted by: perlfox
I knew that this was a "value" purchase, but I wasn't expecting such a bad experience. The unit experienced a fair amount of 'ghosting' as scenes switched. Worse off, the sound was HORRENDOUS. Tinny, no depth, lousy bass. I spent hours trying to tune the sound, and finally gave up. I wanted this to work for us, but ended up returning the unit and replacing with a Samsung.

Great addition to my briefcase
on December 21, 2016
Posted by: perlfox
As a frequent traveler (and lover of Apple tech) the Belkin Apple Watch Portable Power Pack is an awesome space saver. I've always travelled with a battery pack for my phone, and this does a great job at reducing the cables I need to carry.
At 6700mAh, it's got enough juice to keep me out of phone trouble AND charge my watch on those red-eyes. The form factor is great and easily fits inside of a briefcase pocket.
I was a little surprised to find there was no USB charging adaptor in the packaging. Like most people, I have a few dozen of these around the house, so it's not a big deal.
Not super clear in the instructions is the need to press the power meter to begin charging your devices. Again, not a big deal. (And by instructions I mean 'little pictures that may be obvious to some folks, but weren't to me. )
All in all a great product. I look forward to using this on the road.

Nice Job by Adobe
on November 13, 2016
Posted by: perlfox
Clearly the leader in digital artistry, these packages by Adobe really packs a lot of creative power for an affordable price. The wizards and step by step guides are pretty awesome. I can't wait to see what else I can create (slideshows, videos) with these Elements packages.

When I turn the tv off a red light stays lit on the actual tv, is this normal when the tv isn't in use or should it completely go off?

The red light stays on, and is just bright enough to be annoying.
