Bose® SoundTrue™ around-ear headphones are designed with you in mind. With fresh designs to fit your style, they stay comfortable no matter how long your playlist is, but are built to survive your busy life. Best of all, they're engineered to make all your music sound better.

I'm not an audiophile, but I do love good (balanced, clear, unmuddled, correctly staged) music. I'm a work from home employee, and wear headphones the better part of the day. Though not a huge fan of Bose (low value for cost, typically not comparable to other headphones in the same price range, poorly designed acoustically, etc., etc.), I've got to be honest, these are THE most comfortable over-ear cans I've ever worn. Disclaimer... I do wear headphones anywhere from 4-12 hours/day, so I'm a bit biased toward comfort. In addition, at the $150-$200 price range, these cans are quite comparable both in sound and build quality to just about any that I've listened to.
I highly recommend these for listeners who emphasize comfort, moderate accuracy (NO, these are not audiophile level headphones!), a nice wide soundstage, and a very nice tonal balance. These aren't the be-all end-all of over-ears, but these are pretty darn good for $180.

This switch features a VGA port and 2 USB ports that let you share the use of a monitor and 2 USB peripherals, such as a mouse and a keyboard, between 2 different computers. The plug-and-play design allows easy setup.

Does EXACTLY what is says it's supposed to. I am sharing an HP 22bw monitor and a wireless Logitech M185 K+M set (unified wireless receiver, plugged into keyboard input on KVM), cabled to a Lenovo T410 work PC, and a Dell XPS 8500 personal PC, and it switches flawlessly. It takes a couple of seconds, but works every time. Would definitely recommend this KVM for anyone looking for basic KVM to switch between two PC's.

Pretty good little scale for < $50, fairly accurate and quite consistent. Quick reading, nice color. Important that the scale rests on a completely flat surface to ensure consistent readings (ie, curved tiles will impact consistency of readings).
Overall, very pleased with this purchase!

How Often Used:Daily
Verified Purchase:Yes
Haven't had them long, but very pleased with this purchase in this price range. Nicest listening cans I've owned at a very reasonable price. Slightly bass-heavy, but very clear mids and highs. Staging and clarity are very good for cans in this price range. I use this daily for music and taking calls on a mobile phone, and so far the performance has been superb. Would definitely recommend in this price range.

Intel Solid-State Drives represent a revolutionary breakthrough that delivers a giant leap in storage performance. Unlike hard disk drives, Intel SSDs have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers faster system responsiveness.Drawing from decades of memory engineering experience, and industry-leading, compute-quality NAND Flash memory manufacturing processes, Intel SSDs are designed to deliver outstanding performance for a wide range of computing applications. Intel SSDs also feature low write amplification and a unique wear-leveling design for higher reliability, meaning Intel SSDs not only perform better they last longer.

After several weeks of researching SSD technology and current offerings, I settled on Intel's 520 series due to various reviews and test results of performance and reliability. From what I was able to pull together based on research, the Intel Cherryville (520) series of SSD's was the best overall fit for my needs at this price point (~ $250). 2 days after purchase, I'm quite pleased with the results so far!
Box came with a 2.5>>>3.5 conversion kit (basically, a carriage), power (did not use) and SATA (did use) cables, all required assembly screws, simple to follow instructions, and of course the drive.
Intel provides links to Acronis migration software, which makes a clone of your current HDD's OS partition and copies it to the SSD making it bootable; a copy of Intel's SSD tuner software used to perform routine maintenance and check SSD health: Acronis's alignment tool and a access to help.
Overall, the complete install process took me a little over an hour. It went like this:
1) Install drive
2) On boot, enable AHCI in bios
3) Migrate data
4) Swap SATA cables (effectively making SSD the C: drive, and the replaced HDD the E: drive)
5) Align the SSD's partition
6) Tune the SSD
2) On boot, enable AHCI in bios
3) Migrate data
4) Swap SATA cables (effectively making SSD the C: drive, and the replaced HDD the E: drive)
5) Align the SSD's partition
6) Tune the SSD
That's it. My Windows 7 boot times have gone down from 62 seconds on a 1TB Seagate Barracuda spinner (7200 RPM) to 24 seconds on the SSD running on a SATA 2 port in my Dell XPS 7100 (warranty just expired!). However, the real world value to me is in how quickly larger applications start and run - everything from 3D mapping software to Itunes with a HUGE library.
Overall, I'm very impressed with the performance of this SSD and would highly recommend it at this price point.
What's great about it: Easy to install and setup (<1 hour)
What's not so great: Slightly more expensive than competitors, but worth it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

WAN Connection out after 4 days

I use it in...:Small home
Bought this guy on Sunday Sep 30, and it quit on Thursday Oct 4. Upgraded to most recent FW, tried every workaround suggested by Netgear and on the forums - nada.
I'm certain a fully functional N900 would be worthy of a much longer and detailed review of what works but, alas, I didn't have the thing long enough to even form an opinion. Back to Linksys.
This is the first failure of a Netgear router I've owned.
What's great about it: Great potential, lightning fast when working
What's not so great: NO WAN connection with cable modem after 4 days
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The narrative fails to mention that they only display video when going through a Night Owl Propriortery DVR. These cannot be used as a stand alone camera

Looks pretty clear to me on the specifications tab:
"Capture everything in high-definition
Crisp 720p (1280 x 720) resolution offers clear images with precise detail. Note: cameras are only compatible with Night Owl AHD-Series DVRs (not included)."
