I must have bought 10 of these over the past 4 years. Use them all the time for various setups I create. Never had one break. I just lose them. Work perfectly, and these are much better to work with than the short block style splitters.
What's great about it: durable,handy,
What's not so great: nothing

Best Keyboard EVER
on May 20, 2010
Posted by: Gibhunter
from Bangor, Maine
Just dont use the setpoint software unless you want another program slowing your computer down. It was plug and play of course for win vista/7. I have owned mine for over a year now and havent had a single issue, it is the perfect keyboard. I will never own a non-backlit keyboard again.
I previously owned a RAZOR backlit board which I returned within a week because it always looked so dirty and the buttons sucked. I also have a Logitech G9 keyboard I got for free, and do not use because the button action is not as nice.
A year in and its still sleek clean looking and working great.
What's great about it: It has laptop like buttons, light up nicely, very sleek design
What's not so great: Setpoint software it comes with.

Every brush, or change in grip on this will make loud popping/brushing noises. The dragonspeak software is only good for your voice, so dont expect to record a lecture and have it transcribed to notes for you. I havent been able to get anything I would call great sound quality from this, its really only meant for voice - if you use the mic in from even a $150 shure condenser mic it sounds much worse than plugging the mic into a computer and recording. I bought a pack of little rubber feet for mine so I could it down on a desk and it not rattle so bad when I adjust the position or move it on my notebook. Im guessing all the recorders will be the same for this sensitivity issue when holding, but why not get a $30 one and save the money, this one doesn't even have a rechargeable battery!
What's great about it: Lots of features
What's not so great: COnstant noise when holding in hand.

Great Processor

Posted by: Gibhunter
from Bangor, Maine
A few games I have installed (most recent was DiRT) would quit instantly upon running. Also, similar issue with Adobe Video editing products. Basically, the issue is that the program thinks the system has 8 cores because it has 8 threads and windows even thinks it is 8 cores. It usually means you need to open a config.txt file within the installed program and change the logical core setting. Google it if you have this issue too.
Otherwise, this thing blows away my previous AMD 6000+ for being able to preview/edit movies at full speed.
It seems to be very efficient at stepping down power usage when idle, but know that it can use ~130watts and that your PSU is likely around 80% efficient.
What's great about it: 4 Powerful Cores, good for overclocking
What's not so great: 8 threads creates incompatibility issues

My first one broke when plugging a microphone into the back. My mobo was perfectly grounded. RMA took 2 weeks, and the replacement had sticky soda like spill on the back and within the bios I can see the overheating sensor had been triggered many times.
Having that 4th Memory DIMM is useless since the i7 is meant for triple channel. Only 1 PCI slot means wifi card.. and... no TV tuner.
On my replacement, one eSATA port doesn't work, but w/e Im not dealing with another 2 weeks of waiting. Also, their customer service was rude, and instantly put me in a stance of having to defend my build. They claimed my memory was what broke it because it was 1600MHZ@1.65V, 0.05V over their limit, however- THIS board wont even run my memory @1600 even after firmware update it was at 1333 @ 1.5V at the time it broke.
Do yourself a favor, find another board for your i7.
What's great about it: uhh
What's not so great: bios is 1 minute (shortened), only 3 usable DIMMs, 1 PCI slot, First one broke, good luck getting memory @1600MHZ

So, the tips can plug into the end of the adapter either way, meaning the inside is - or + depending on how it is put on. On the side of each tip it says either + or - , except its in between the 2 pins on the back side so it doesn't say which is the outside and which is the inside. On the end of the power cord where tips attach, it doesn't say which pin is + or - either, so this adapter is based on guess and check. It says on the package it can damage your device if the polarity is wrong.. I used a battery and a motor to see which orientation was which based on the direction the motor spun.
Dont risk damaging your electronics, if you aren't sure how to figure this out on your own, I would not reccomend this product. The manuf. website offers no additional instruction, and only offers phone support with limited hours of operation.
This unit runs very hot, and the tips feel cheap and fit loose.
What's great about it: Its universal
What's not so great: Design Flaw for Choosing polarity

This game failed to include songs engraved into the public. its hard to find anyone who knows the melody enough to sing the songs. But my biggest complaint is the amount of European punk rock songs they added. They are the lamest type of music for this game, drums aren't fun when its just random hitting with no real beat or groove, and it seems that generally these euro-trash/punk rock songs have terrible drum parts, awful melody, terrible lyrics and a repetitive guitar part.
I do like that the drum parts have been kicked up a notch and they have added some new patterns. In RB 1, I could sight read most of the songs on expert and pass, this game I have seen plenty I cannot sight read.
Its great to be able to download songs I know people will recognize, I just wish the game CAME with good songs in the first place.
What's great about it: Download good songs
What's not so great: Half the songs aren't relevent to the united states culture.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

POwering them off the HU? Its not 50watts RMS , your headunit is more like 22watts RMS, 50 peak. I wonder if you might get better highs when properly powered?

No, this is desktop memory. I would need your model to point you to the correct laptop memory - I would call or go in store with the laptop and ask

Use this Klipsch ProMedia 3-piece speaker system to enjoy brilliant sound when playing games, listening to music or watching videos on your computer.
 

Can the Subwoofer be connected to AV Receiver Subwoofer preamp out?

It is not meant to be used this way, but technically if you had a RCA to 3.5mm adapter you could. It is a standalone system not meant for this though but it wouldnt hard it. This subwoofer is very easily strained so for the price you could find a better powered subwoofer instead of using this set in a way it isnt meant to be used.

Would it be possible to use this sound system to connect to an mp3 player to create my own little bedside stereo system if I wanted to?

yes, just plug its 3.5mm jack into your phone/mp3 player, it would do a great job for most bedrooms. You could spend more and get a system with bluetooth so you could have a wireless connection, but bluetooth degrades the sound quality a bit.

I would like to change my laptop hdd to this ssd.

Please give me answers ASAP. Thanks.
Yeah, it has a little plastic piece that will increase the thickness to fit a 2.5" laptop. On some laptops you dont even need the plastic.

how many devices can this router handle
I had 20 devices on mine and it was constantly kicking them off the 5.0 ghz band. The ones on the 2.4ghz band would run horribly slow even though my internet connection wasnt being fully utilized.

my macbook pro is freezing cant open any applications

tried safe boot and apple hardware test
idk wat else to do
At this point your hard drive is most likely defective, but without running a hardware test it could be anything from bad memory to a defective logic board.

Are the netnooks good if you are a student?

They are great for note taking in class becaus eof their size and battery life, but typing an essay on the small keyboard is a pain. They are meant to be secondary computers, and if that is how it is used it is great for students.

repairable?

i have a problem with my olympus stylus 820 .the images output it captures were black and white, hazy, blurry and with black background and the images can't be defined.we don't have an olympus service center nearby and i am reluctant to have it fixed by local digicam repairmen for reasons that some may be fraud.i have a friend who told me that it could be the sensor thing.if it is true, is it repairable or replaceable?my husband docks in baltimore.does best buy stores have it?

I have seen cameras with the description you gave sent out to precisicon camera (Best Buy camera service center on the east coast) and come back repaired rather than junked out for replacement. It likely is fixable as long as it wasnt water damage.

What is the best compact camera for people who blink a lot during pictures?

What is the best compact camera for people who blink a lot during pictures? I have Cerebral Palsy and I seem to blink whenever it flashes. I need the camera to fit in a purse/pocket, to take good quality pictures, and I post a lot of them online and take a lot of pictures at concerts with stage lighting. I have bought and tried a Fujifilm FinePix A900 camera and a Nikon S220 camera. I always blink when I use the Fujifilm FinePix A900 camera and the Nikon S220 camera takes bad pictures.
A lot of cameras have various flash settings. Most of the time turning on a red eye only flash (option on panasonic cameras) will only show one flash exactly when the picture is taken so you will blink right after,

Take your favorite tunes on the go with this MP3 player that features 4GB* of storage space and a built-in digital FM tuner. The built-in clip provides easy portability.
 

Is the battery replaceable?

I have been told that when the rechargeable battery wears out, it cannot be replaced, so you have to buy a new unit. Can someone confirm this please.
This is true, and the best way to avoid this is purchasing a warranty on the unit so it can be replaced if this occurs.
