These ear bud headphones are so comfortable you'll wonder where the music is coming from. With a cord almost 4' long, you can feel free to dance around.

Great presents!

I find these quite similar to Ipod ear buds, except making lacking in bass capabilities a bit. Great price and they look and feel good in the ear. They fall out a lot less than my ipod buds.
What's great about it: Sound, Price, Looks
What's not so great: Little lacking in bass
I would recommend this to a friend!

SynopsisHome used to be where the heart was. America used to be free. Now, home is nothing but a bleak landscape of walled towns and abandoned suburbs, where high school stadiums have become detention centers and shopping malls shelter armored attack vehicles. Fear and despair have crept into the United States that you knew and loved. Worldwide conflict, dwindling resources and economic crisis have taken their toll; and now, in 2027, the savage, nuclear-armed Greater Korean Republic clenches the US in a brutal occupation. But the enemy forgot one little thing about the USA: they may have seized our land and weakened our state, but no one can weaken the spirit of the American people. Not since George Washington led the patriots in the Revolutionary War has America fought a battle so vital to the freedom of the nation and so close to the hearts of the people. Not since then have we had to band together to protect our Homefront. Take the front lines alongside the colorful characters of the Resistance as you employ daring guerrilla tactics, commandeer military vehicles and unleash epic warfare across sprawling battlefields with first-person sharpshooting action. The heart-pounding, hair-raising exhilaration of the struggle springs to life when you take the fight online and experience multiplayer infantry, helicopter and drone battles the likes of which you've never seen. Mask your fear, take your weapon in hand and bear the title "American" with pride: this is the call to save your Homefront.

SinglePlayers Be forewarned
By Kut2TheChase from New Jersey
This game has an even shorter singleplayer campaign then the COD series, around 5 hours at best! This is unacceptable and a terrible trend in games today, of course this game is multiplayer centric and that has issues of it's own, just check out the STEAM forums.
Also, the retail version is only half the game, you need to install steam and download the other half so the purpose of buying the retail box is redundant and quite ridiculous. LAME.
Will wait till this game is in the bargin bin.
You have been forewarned.

The single player mode is more of a bonus to a multiplayer game. It would be like getting a single player along with CounterStrike Source.. an obvious multiplayer game with something extra added in.

Poor screen quality, slow!
By Gibhunter from Tennessee
This thing is slow for any multi tasking in comparison to android tablets my friends have recently purchased. This device is outdated arleady - it costs more than the better new tablets out there, and has far far fewer features. I will be selling mine shortly online to get some honeycomb action.
EVERY website I am interested in still uses flash, and since flash has been moving towards GPU acceleration and been getting more efficient I dont see it dying out as fast as apple thinks. And no, I am not going to download the app for every website I goto that occasionally has a flash video embedded.
I cannot wait for windows 8 tablets in a few years. The future is promising for these devices, and as usual apple will be behind in features, while every other company pounces ahead, if apple didnt make the tablet popular someone else would have - and done it right.

yup we probably do because I am not stuck in the stone age of the internet. I stream music from multiple websites, stream video from break, youtube, engadget, gizmodo and go on digg a lot where flash is a must have. It turns out most websites do make a mp4 version of their videos, but you almost always need an app downloaded form the app store to access the dumbed down version of the site.

No good for biking
By Gibhunter from Maine
As far as downhill mountain biking goes, I have the camera mounted pointing as far up as possible due to the design of the mounting system. Without a screen on the gopro I had no idea how my video was turning out, and sure enough at home all my video footage from the chesty was pointing straight down to the ground.
It is impossible with both me and the person I was with and his chesty to get useful footage of the bike and trail ahead while going down a mountain. The only good footage was while i was sitting up - which only happened for a few seconds at a time while going slow.
This mount I am sure is great for other things, but come on, make it more adjustable!!!!

Woot?!?
By Gibhunter from Maine
The 2011 Subaru WRX does 0-60 in 4.7seconds. The STI is a tag slow due to gear ratios, but has a faster 0-100. In this game its aggrivating to see such a fast car go so slow.. like the game is in slow-motion. I counted a 0-60 of over 7 seconds, which makes everything feel so slow.. the car drags at 80+mph gaining unrealistically slow speed.

Striking the very ground where Diablo once entered the world, the ancient evils of the past reawaken. The fire burns rapidly and it becomes clear that this world is once again in need of a hero.

Game Long Overdue
By Rick2000 from Central NY
Blizzard initially was to release Diablo 3 in 2006 but was placed on back burner to re-establish a better playing style while working and updating World of Warcraft their winning bread maker. (Honest I don't think Blizzard wanted to put time into D3 ). D3 process took MORE than 5 years just to get to the Beta stage. My expectations is this product won't be as good as WoW and previous Diablo 2 followers will not commit to D3 after Blizz failed to Support the Consumers with the Original series. Only Time will Tell if D3 will make or break.

December 30, 2011
While this is obviously a troll post.. there is some truth in blizzard taking too long to finish their products.. Starcraft 2 took so long I lost interest.. played the beta... got bored since it was the game game over again and never bought it.. All the while they pump out expansion after expansion for WoW which I could never get into. I dont know if Ill be able to get into D3 like I did with the previous 2 as its just been to long and it looks again, like the same game revised with better graphics - and took away what I liked most (customizing/focusing skills). If there is an open beta Ill try it, hopefully I will be addicted unlike SC2.

Do not waste your money
By Enojado from Vacaville, CA
It is an excellent movie. The media is wat is not worth a $3 bill. If you were wondering why a $55 disc is sold here for $30, wonder no more. It does not play in most players. After spending almost two hours finding a thumb drive, updating the BD firmware, it just wouldnt load. I am guessing that you have to pay up the wazoo for an expensive BD player that would play this. I have a Samsung BD-C5500 and this is the only BD I have had problems with. I tried it in my friends Pioneer Elite BDP-23FD and it played wonderfully. Never mind that the Pioneer costs $400 more than my Samsung. So if you have a new (less than a year) BD player and paid $400+ for it, go ahead and buy this piece of worthless...

Got It Quick....Everything's Perfect
By jimmy40 from Minnesota
Lots of room for air flow......this is the first pre-built or barebones desktop case I've had with bottom mounted PSU. Air vents in bottom front create a great flow of air from th efront to the back. Nice big clear window on the left-side panel. Air vent on the back, front, top and bottom are capable of holding 120mm case fans. I ordered this online on Monday evening, and the free 2 Day Air shipping got the case to my apt Thursday afternoon.
The manufacturer does not feature a PSU with this case, so the money you'd spend on it goes back into the case. Black painted exterior and interior.
Toolless on drive bays and both side panels.

There is nothing to ventilate on that side, very few cases have vents on the right side.

Easy to connect but issues with Mini Mac!
By Willski from Houston, TX
Fortunately I returned this and could use the DVI connection on my monitor because I tried it and just like many reviews on line will tell you, there are issues with the mini mac (Lion OS) and the VGA display output. It just goes black and the monitor goes to sleep and you have to disconnect the monitor to get it come back -- very annoying! Save your $$$ and just use the connector that comes with the Mini Mac....or buy a new monitor with DVI input.

Pair them with a Sub
By TRiAC from Minneapolis, MN
LOCATION:
I installed a set of these in the factory locations of a 1999 Honda Accord sedan. The mids are in the doors near knee level and the tweeters are on the dash close to the windshield (swiveled to follow the slope of the windshield). Installation was quite simple; however, I have been installing for several years so I still recommend Geek Squad Autotechs.
UPGRADE – After winter, when it is warm enough, I plan to flush-mount the mids (modify the door panel and move the speakers forward so they are no longer behind the door panel). This should increase the mid-bass response and overall impact.
POWERING:
I am powering this component set straight off of the head-unit, a Pioneer AVH-P2300DVD (50Wx4@4ohm). Instead of just using 2 channels from the head-unit to power this component set (which Alpine boasts is possible with the low RMS handling), I am powering the tweeters with the front channels while the mids are powered by the rear channels. This is possible without a built-in high/mid/low crossover as the mids have a passive low-pass crossover built on the speaker itself (little coil wrapped in black plastic on the speaker by the +/- terminals – ensures you do not send frequencies too high to the mid) and the component set comes with passive high-pass crossovers for the tweeters (the crossovers you see in the product image – ensure you do not send frequencies too low to the tweeters). Separating the components in this fashion allows a slight power increase and better tweeter adjustment (use the fader to increase/decrease the tweeter level). I have not checked with an ohmmeter, but according to Alpine's technical support, the ohm load should still stay at 4ohms for the tweeter and the mid.
UPGRADE – I am satisfied with my current power level, but adding an amplifier would definitely be an improvement.
LISTENING:
My immediate reaction was that the mid-bass was lacking. There seems to be a drop in impact around 100hz, but then they played 40-50hz quite well (only for testing – on the head-unit, I set the HPF at 80hz). The tweeters are very crisp and reproduce sound very well. After proper tuning and adjustments, I am very happy with the overall sound from this component set. I listen to a wide range of music – rock, dubstep, country, rap, and even a little classical every now and then. The only music that seemed to stress this set up so far was rock. Crashing cymbals seem to distort the vocals; however, I have not tested many rock songs. Dubstep / Techno sounds amazing.
RECOMMENDATION:
Pair this component set with a subwoofer. I have an Alpine Type-R 12 (SWR-1243D) powered by an Alpine MRP-M500 amplifier combined with my Alpine SPR-60C components and the result is amazing. This subwoofer blends amazingly with these components – I have it set to cover 80hz and lower. This setup is affordable and light on the vehicle's electrical system (cheap amp, but it is 80% efficient – can't go wrong for the money)
Also – check these out on Alpine's website for more info and a demo video: http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/spr-60c

Factory refurbished

What is meant by factory refurbished
This can mean a few different things.. It could have been a returned unit from a retail store meaning it was less than 30 days old and the customer just did not want the unit. In this case it is often reset, data erased and re packaged for sale. Other times it could have been a simple defect in the product such as bad/corrupt software installed in which case the unit is updated and re packaged, or it could be a unit sold which was defective within the manuf. warranty period. These units are sent back to the manuf. where if fixable they get parts replaced, usually new batteries and plastic housing repacked and sold. Any of these units could have minor scuffs, but the price usually makes up for this. These units often carry the same warranty as a new unit - so check the page so you know ahead of time!

I have a printer that is not wireless, is there any adapter to make it wireless?

You will need either a wireless printer USB hub that will work with any router, or to find a router with a USB port meant to communicate with a printer. Then you can print wireless without buying a new printer. It is much easier to find a router capable of this than that attachment listed above, and it will likely work smoother using one thing to do it all rather than troubleshoot 2 things if it doesnt work.

Is the Gateway DX4831-01e have dual channel memory?

This computer has 6GB and does support dual channel memory, they usually do this by using all 4 memory slots - 2@2GB and 2@1GB so it can run in dual channel. The i7 processors run in triple channel - these would have 2x3GB memory chips.

Which cd to burn

What blank cd's can I use to burn for my eMachine computer? thanks
Hi, It would be best to re-ask your question with the eMachine model number included. eMachines has been making desktops and laptops for many years, and older ones did not have CD or DVD burners. If it says CR-R Rewritable on the CD drive it is able to burn CDs, you cna use ANY brand CR-R you want. I use windows media player to burn audio CDs for my car.

What webcam is compatible with windows 7????

Any one currently on sale and most sold in the last 2 years are compatible with windows 7. It will likely be plug n play - just make sure the computer is online when you plug it in and windows update will find and install drivers and software for windows 7.

i have a vaio sony, should I purchase a product key and/or a microsoft office trial? help!!!

You want a home student office key. Not a trial key. Your laptop likely comes with a trial, and every time you open it, it asks for a key. You can enter the ful version key into the trial and it will convert it to the full version. It normally runs $150 for this program, but often goes on sale. ALso, it is good for 3 computers.
