Watch is great!
on August 10, 2015
Posted by: pug1311
from PA
I first order the Apple Watch Stainless Steel with the black sport band to keep the cost down while still getting the Watch. I recently upgraded with the addition of the Milanese Loop and this makes the watch look so beautiful and it's cooler than the elastomer sport band.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Looks Nice, Works with Smart Cover
on December 27, 2013

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Belkin Shield Sheer Matte Case looks nice and works with the Apple Smart Cover. I do like the minimal look since it doesn't change the look of the iPad Air very much. What I don't care for is the way it feels. Any piece of dust feels gritty on this plastic material. It's also a bit expensive for what it is. Overall, if you don't want leather, which I do not, it's not a bad option when combined with the Smart Cover. But it's not perfect.

The first season of AHS is a landmark in television entertainment ; it's a roller coaster ride of terror with moments of campy humor. Expect the unexpected! Jessica Lange and cast remarkable supported by excellent scripts and direction.

This film shot in native 3D was so many things: modern but a compelling homage to a bygone era. The music though contemporary and urban blended right in; the camera, the choice of well thought out immersive 3D, sumptuous color and fabulous acting cries out to be added to any serious 3D collector. A not miss. Loved it in the the cinema and even more at home.

Another Fake 3D Scam
on March 25, 2012
Posted by: pug1311
from PA
This film was not shot natively in 3D. Anyone liking the 3D has lower aspirations as to what 3D can do. To compare the 3D to Scorcese's HUGO is ridiculous. HUGO was a 3D masterwork done by a true artist. Immortals is mind-numbing junk.
What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: The whole boring experience
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Drab Fake 3D
on March 25, 2012
Posted by: pug1311
from PA
I saw this movie in IMAX 3D, walked out, and got my money back. First of all, it's poorly-done post produced 3D. Another words, fake 3D: dim, dark, with little internal depth and no outward depth. The film was just dull as well. Films not shot in native 3D should be labeled as such. Save your money. This one is a stinker.
What's great about it: Absolutely nothing
What's not so great: Fake 3D, dull acting, drab
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great 3D and Wonderful Story
on December 23, 2011
Posted by: pug1311

The Polar Express is one of those rare children's movies that adults will enjoy equally. The 3D in this film is amazing and one of my favorites for showing off 3D on my Sony Bravia TV. I tend to like "edgy" films but this one warmed my heart. Recommended!
What's great about it: Story, 3D, acting, pacing of plot.

Best Jawbone Yet!

Posted by: pug1311

This is the most comfortable, clearest BT I have ever owned. I've had the first two Jawbones. This one is the best. The Icon sounds better than listening to your cell phone directly. Noise cancellation is the best!
What's great about it: Clarity, Noise Reduction, Comfort
What's not so great: the around the ear loop is a bit flimsy and it could use a case

Excellent and Easy Set-Up
on June 15, 2009
Posted by: pug1311
from PA
This is a terrific GPS unit. Totally easy and intuitive to use. Information on the battery was too brief in the online manual. I was helped by a very competent tech person at Garmin. While the Nuvi255WT is plugged into the car charger and being used, the battery isn't being charged but it won't deplete To charge it, it must be off.. For this reason, I purchased the indoor charger to give it a full charge evrey so often. I also purchaded the Garmin bean bag dash holder to keep it off the windshield. Make sure you get the 255 with the WT as that model comes with free lifetime traffic information (with some advertising). The FM receiver is built into the car charger. I really like this a lot!
What's great about it: Fast Set-Up, Easy & Accurate
What's not so great: Online manual is a little skimpy

Playstation Eye
on December 16, 2007
Posted by: pug1311
from PA
Why Sony made the Playstation Eye's cable so short seems not well conceived. Todays's larger TVs (RP or Flat Panel) need more that 6 1/2 feet even if you're playing Eye of Judgement. To mount it on top of your TV for other applications is difficult due to short cable. Buy an extender cable. Othwise, nice accessory.
What's great about it: fun accessory
What's not so great: usb cable much too short

2 out of 5EXPECT PROBLEMS IN SETUP
By DAWN288
from Hilton Head SC
Primary reason for buying was for wireless connection. Unit drops off line every night and has to be reset by removing power to my router to renew connection. Useless when you locate printer in bonus room and also have cpu and iPad downstairs on network, so if you want to print from downstairs you have to go up and reset router to bring printer back on line. 5 other computers(up&downstairs) and I Pad have no issues with my Wi-Fi and hardwired connections, only this printer. Package install comes with too much bloatware, still trying to get cpu scanning function to work. Manual takes you through varioius steps and ends by saying if it doesn't work then use the USB hardwire connection (yes it actually does). ALso warmup time is quite long and response to a simple document print task takes quite some time to print

Simple WIFI setup
August 17, 2013
I have an Apple Airport Extreme router and found the WIFI set up simple. Why don't you call the US based Canon support for help? I didn't install anything from the enclosed CDs. I followed the suggestions from the very helpful Canon support techs and downloaded only the drivers and one software (Image Garden) that was recommended. I repeated the steps again for my MBP and it was all very easy and a marked improvement over my previous HP that just gave out. The Canon is so much better and i have no problem at all with WIFI signal dropping.

Built in DVD player?
March 24, 2014
Built-in DVD players are found in low-end TVs. DVD is not a feature I'd want. Blu ray players are the only way to go and don't come built in. Compare the specs 480i vs 1080p. Go get yourself a nice Blu ray player and an HDMI cable for it and have fun!

Yet another excellent product from apple. The quality is of the highest standard and the software is great for being Version 1.0.1. the vibration (taptic feedback) is awesome!
This is stainless steel and stainless steel scratches easily just like any other stainless steel watch. I would recommend a case and screen protector if you are bothered by this.

I'm considering getting a smart tv will I have to purchase an additional cable box for it? I'm not sure how that works
If you have cable, then yes if you want all your regular channels, too. "Smart" means that the TV will be WIFI and will come with apps (the way smart phones do) like Netflix, Hulu Plus, VUDU, and many, many more plus often You Tube, etc. The browsers on Smart TVs often stink but the apps are nice. I can watch Netflix via my Sony TV, my Blu ray player, my iPad, etc Another words, the "smartness" is independent of cable content. You don't need a cable box for it but then you'll only be watching things such as Netflix without cable.

wireless headphones
how do you hook up to these tv's?
They connect with a cable set top box or a satellite receiver using an HDMI cable. Or you can connect with an over the air digital antenna using the cables recommended by the antenna manufacturer. You can also purchase an inexpensive sound bar with passive subwoofer to augment the sound. I have my 55" Sony, DIRECTV DVR Genie, Blu Ray Player, and PS3 all feeding into a Sony Home Theater 7.2 receiver which is a bit more involved but the DIRECTV is the main remote except when switching to Blu ray, etc. Another words, what are your needs? If you have cable or satellite, upgrade to a HD package- not mandatory but nicer. You'll pick up the details, one step at a time.

What is the difference between LED & LCD?
LED TVs are LCD TVs! LED is the light source used to illuminate LCD panels as opposed to the older fluorescent backlight technology. Marketing gimmicks label LED lit LCD TVs as LED TVs. NOT true.
