Works fine -outside, dont forget to wash your hand

May be my pair was from a defective batch, but the cans wouldn't spray evenly. I shook it up, turned it ever which way, reattached the nozzle - nothing helps. Also, make sure you clean up your electronics outside or with open windows because the gases will leave a bitter taste in your mount. Also wash your hands afterwards,

What's great about it: Intermittent good pressure
What's not so great: Bitter taste after inhaling the gas, hands have to be washed too
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great drive for such a low price

I use internal harddrives for surround audio remastering. The program basically takes a 10GB stereo recording and processes it 4-6 times by splitting in 6 different soundtrack (5.1 surround recording). Now imagine what kind of an I/O load a harddrive has to sustain to write at a very high speed 6 such files simultaneously, non stop, for months.
My previous internal harddrive worked fine until I started this hobby of mine. It gave up in a week. I went to best buy thinking I will have to spend at least $250, but instead bought this for $80 and even got %10 off with my Best Buy Member card. Amazing!
This harddrive has already worked flawlessly for 3 months. Only when there is a lot of I/O at the same time I hear its whining, which is expected. I dont know how long it will last. If it will tolerate my high I/O abuse longer than a year I will be a happy camper.If it will give up sooner - no problem - I will just buy another one. $80 isn't going to make me poor!

Need for Greed?

How would you like it if you went to a local grocery store for a bag of Doritos but the store would not sell it to you unless you bought a whole case of salsa in addition? It looks like Microsoft has done just that.
I have been a loyal NFS fan since the 1990s. This is the only game I play every 2-3 years. A new release out? I buy it and let the good times roll for a week or two.
This time it turned into a nightmare. I insert the disk into my XBOX360 Slim. The game wants to download a 1.6GB update. No problem. I have 3 drives. Internal memory (3GB free), an XBOX360 fat edition harddrive connected by cable (10GB free) and a 4GB USB drive. The game notifies me that none of these are acceptable and it wants me to buy an additional Microsoft drive. Frustrated, I restart the game and try again without the update but it doesnt let me skip the update. It definitely is determined that I spend another $135 for the harddrive I dont need since I have plenty available storage on top of the $60 I already paid for the game.
I chat with Microsoft support. After an hour of reiterating the same point, the support rep finally understood and presented me with two choices. Either buy the new harddrive or use somebody else's to start the game. I patiently explain that this is the only game I play. I cannot possibly justify spending $200 for it and then wait another 3 years until a new NFS release is out. I dont have any local friend that play this game to borrow the harddrive from either. She apologizes profusely, but offers no help at all.
At this point I drive to the same local BestBuy store I purchased the game from. I have no receipt anymore (it never occurred to me that I would ever need it, I didnt expect to be shaken down). No problem. they find the purchase and hear me out. The store manager issues a full refund.
I wish Microsoft understood what BestBuy learned a very long time ago. Customers dont like to be extorted. They vote with their dollars by taking their business elsewhere. That is what I am doing. This Need for Greed release was the last one I ever bought.
My Best Buy number: 2133298286
What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Cant play without a harddrive upgrade
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A terrific device

Lets face it - you can get a pretty loaded PC for this price. But it wouldn't be as much fun. I am a PC guy so I was a bit apprehensive about this device. But once I got I couldn't get enough of it. A plethora of apps for any taste. I can AirPlay my mp3s to my receiver. A great toy. A bit expensive, but there is really nothing else out there, just immitations.

A great disposable remote, lasts a month!

I will not go over technical features of this remote. Other reviewers did a wonderful job covering this. The remote is great device for a very fair price. My beef is with its durability and quality of customer support. This is my second H650. The first one was dropped on a carpet on second month. The LCD screen showed some yellow stains. The casing showed no scratches or cracks. I reiterate , it fell from my hands down on very thick carpet. I contacted Logitech customer support. Their reply was "you broke it, we are not responsible". I explained that there are certain expectations from durability standpoint. I can understand if it was thrown across the room or stepped on, but falling from 2 feet height shouldn't make it inoperable. The answered was still no.
I went out and bought another one. After just one month battery started to rattle inside every time I picked it up. Then remote went dead. I contacted support for this second unit. Same response - they couldn't care less!
I had to take it apart and bend battery connectors a bit so batteries are held tightly. That worked.
So, overall - its a good "disposable" remote. You will have to buy a new unit monthly. Logitech support was no help at all.
What's great about it: Great features
What's not so great: Durability, horrible customer support
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
