I doesn't work that well. I was trying to use it in my car, so I could listen to music and charge my phone at the same time. I have Apple's smart battery case. It will play for a few seconds and then stop. I returned the device.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The search feature is far inferior to the search feature on PC versions of Outlook. I key in a key word and no or few results come up. I end up having to log into the web account of my e-mail to search.
As of today, Microsoft doesn't supply a way to sync Outlook up with the Mac calendar and contacts of Yosemite.
Outlook constantly gives a pop up error message that my log-in credentials didn't work even though they're correct. Sometimes the e-mail hosting company must have glitches or something, but I don't need to be alerted every time it "thinks" they're a log-in problem. There's no way to turn this error message off.
It also doesn't support outlook.com's MS Exchange. I called Microsoft and had them double check on this.

Travel with confidence using this TomTom GO 500 1FA5.019.01 GPS, which features preloaded base maps of the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico, so you can quickly find locations. The 5" capacitive touch screen lets you easily navigate interactive maps.

The default voice of this is very hard to understand, unlike on other brand GPS units. The other voices you can understand, but they don't speak street names. Also, the TomTom lets you control it with your voice, but 90% of the time it says it doesn't understand. The Garmin's voice control works way better.
It is also very difficult to cancel a route, which is very easy on my Garmin.
This is TomTom's top of the line device which lacks many features of other brands' top of the line device.
Garmin's devices are not made with very good quality control so they are buggy and just plain defective, but this TomTom unit's features don't work very well. Maybe I'll try a 3rd brand next time.

The episodes on the DVDs are the full length versions. On the TV, scenes are often cut short.

![The Golden Girls: The Complete Second Season [3 Discs] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/7034/7034265_sa.jpg)
Four retired women -- Dorothy (Beatrice Arthur), Blanche (Rue McClanahan), Rose (Betty White), and Sophia (Estelle Getty) -- share a condominium in Miami Beach, where life presents them a variety of humorous situations in this collection of episodes from the popular situation comedy The Golden Girls. The Golden Girls: The Complete Second Season features all 26 episodes from the 1986-1987 season of the series; Burt Reynolds, George Clooney, and Rita Moreno were among the guest stars that year. The episodes have been transferred to disc in the full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Mono. A Golden Girls trivia quiz has been included as a bonus.

The Golden Girls DVDs show more content that the television versions. TV stations always cut scenes short.

![Cruel Intentions 3 [DVD] [2004]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6426/6426325_sa.jpg)
If the intentions in the first two installments weren't bad enough, the ones on Columbia TriStar's release of Cruel Intentions 3 are downright diabolical! Presented in 1.78:1 widescreen and offering audio rendered in closed-captioned English Dolby Digital 5.1, this release also offers optional subtitles in English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Korean, and Thai.

It seems like they could have made this one a lot better. The first movie kept me captivated, but this one lacked something.

![Cruel Intentions 2 [WS/P&S] [DVD] [2000]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4145/4145758_sa.jpg)
Roger Kumble's Cruel Intentions 2 comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.78:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame transfer. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. English, Chinese, Korean, and Thai subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include trailers and talent files. This is a decent release from Columbia/TriStar with strong sound quality, but there is little here for the average DVD consumer.

This movie is not as good as the first. The plot is far less exciting.

![The Golden Girls: The Complete First Season [3 Discs] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6831/6831379_sa.jpg)
Susan Harris' situation comedy The Golden Girls was awarded the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series for its very first season. This set contains all 25 episodes from that year. The show featured Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty as four women who negotiated the problems associated with growing older as they shared a house in Florida.

When you watch on TV, they cut out scenes. These DVDs show the entire episode.

The music files are not saved as mp3s. They are saved as itunes files, so they can't be played back on anything but itunes. I had to fight and fight with Apple to get a refund on a song.

4 out of 5Many Cool Features; Lacks Some Basic Ones
By wmualumnus
from Royal Oak, MI
This is my first Mac and I really like it. It has some cool features Windows doesn't have such as easier to send large files by e-mail, you can text from your computer if you use an iPhone, you can click on a phone number on a web page and have it dial it from your phone, etc. I also love the mouse features. The mouse pad is easier to use than most computers these days because of how right clicking and left clicking works on them. Unfortunately, there are some basic things it can't do that you can do on Windows. For instance, instead of scrolling forever to find the folder you want, on Windows, you can use the search feature at the top of the window and start keying in that folder name.
The metal casing of the computer makes it feel like a premium machine unlike most of the cheap, plastic computers on the market.

Update- Piece of Junk!
November 19, 2014
I need to update this review. The laptop died only 16 days after purchase! It won't turn on at all. The power on it is completely fried.

Enjoy a close shave with this Philips shaver. Three rotating heads closely follow the contours of your face to get every last piece of hair, and the lift-and-cut action gently ensures seriously smooth skin. Shave wet or dry —this Philips shaver shrugs off water thanks to the Aquatech seals, and the heads are simple to replace.

Replacing the blades every so often makes the razor shave like new again. However, as often as you have to replace blades and our ever increasing filling of landfills, it would be nice if they were made from recycled materials.

Packaging is Sustainable
December 9, 2014
I noticed the packaging is FSC certified which means no old growth forests were logged for the packaging. Many companies use SFI, a fake industry certification that allows logging of old growth forests and doesn't even have a tree replant requirement. I am happy Philips is certified by the right party.
