A Movie That Leaves A Lasting Impression

Excellent plot, excellent acting and leaves excellent questions at the end of the movie. I believe they got the right Best Picture winner this year.

This was a welcome change from the mindless stuff Hollywood has been churning out.
Still gives an incredible performance and I find this to have high re-watchability. I've probably seen it 5 times now.

I received one of these for a program that work was doing as part of a new "get fit" program.
Setup was easy, but the accuracy of steps tracked was terrible. 5 of us decided to do a little experiment and walk the same distance at lunch one day. I know not everyone takes the same size steps, but some of the numbers were off by over 30%.
Some people still wear theirs out of habit, mine sits unused. I'm still waiting for a better alternative.

Best Accessory I've Bought For Any Console

I bought no less than 4 headsets for my older PS3. Those included Skullcandy, Sony, and Astro.
These are the perfect combination of sound quality and price. Even at the full 99.99 price I feel that you are getting a deal.
Chat works flawlessly (both ways), bass response is good, build quality is exceptional, and you can get a good 6+ hours of use before having the charge.
If you're on the fence I would recommend these over anything. To me, they sound better than my 300 dollar Astros that I sold once I bought these.

MacBook Air features fourth-generation Intel Core processors with stunning graphics, all-day battery life*, ultrafast flash storage, and great built-in apps. It's thin, light and durable enough to take everywhere you go — and powerful enough to do everything once you get there.

I bought this to replace an iPad Retina. I found myself always wanting a keyboard when using my iPad.
This 11.6" form factor is perfect. Easy enough to slip into a backpack or just carry. The keyboard and touchpad are the best in the business (in my opinion).
I've not had a problem with the 4gb of ram slowing anything up, but I'm not doing anything too serious. Usually just a couple of tabs open in chrome and some light photo editing in Aperture.
Battery life is awesome. I'm able to get 2 good days without even dipping below 25% on the battery.
If I have one gripe it is that the screen could be a little better. I know there is a retina model rumored to be coming out in the Fall, but I needed something sooner than that.
One final thought: I will never go back to a computer that doesn't have an SSD drive. This thing is quick...

All it takes is the swipe of a finger. We connect with friends. We buy the latest gadgets and gear. We find out what's happening in the world. But with that same simple swipe, we cast an increasingly expansive shadow. With each connection, we leave a digital trail that tracks our every move and milestone, our every like and dislike. And it's not just people. Today, all major cities are networked. Urban infrastructures are monitored and controlled by complex operating systems.In Watch Dogs, this system is called the Central Operating System (CTOS) — and it controls almost every piece of the city's technology and holds key information on all of the city's residents. You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now on the hunt for those who hurt your family, you'll be able to monitor and hack all who surround you by manipulating everything connected to the city's network. Access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy... and more.

I, like everyone else, was extremely excited to finally get a decent game on PS4.
I've got to say that I was underwhelmed. After playing midway through the 2nd Act I decided I had seen everything the game had to offer and ended up trading it in.
It felt like I was doing the same thing over and over again. I was excited to have an open world game, but this does not hold a candle to GTA V in that regard.
Some will probably enjoy this game. I guess I am in the minority.

Bought one for my bedroom and one as a gift for my mother. It's her first HDTV and she was more than impressed.
This set was an absolute steal if you're looking for a good basic LED 1080p set. I wish it were 120hz and had apps, but for the price I'm not complaining.
I was a little hesitant about the Insignia brand at first, but it was on par with the lower end Samsung/Sonys that I compared this one to in the store.

Bulletproof is one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. I don't think it gets the credit it deserves.
Sure, the acting is horrible, the plot is predictable, some jokes miss their mark.
If you want to turn your brain off for 90 minutes and just laugh, this is worth a watch.
*It has great replay value.

The whole package. In a smaller package.A beautiful display, powerful A5 chip, FaceTime HD camera, iSight camera with 1080p HD video recording, ultrafast wireless, and over 275,000 apps ready to download from the App Store. iPad mini is an iPad in every way, shape, and slightly smaller form.

No Retina Display, but great overall product
on April 16, 2013
Posted by: jbrown43
from Ashburn, VA
I decided to downsize from my iPad 2 to this Mini for the smaller size. I don't miss the extra screen size from the 2. The Mini is super quick, easy to use and I think the 7" screen is the perfect size.
The battery lasts me the whole day and I haven't run into any problems even if I forget to plug it in at night.
The only negative about this for me is the screen. Feel like they missed the boat by not putting in a retina display in the first generation, but I understand what Apple is doing. I'll be upgrading as soon as this gets a retina.

How do I order a 13.3" MacBook Pro Retina w/ 16GB RAM & 1TB Flash?
I'm looking for the cost to get a MacBook Pro 13.3" w/ Retina (8GB RAM) with the incremental upgrade price of having the RAM at 16GB and the Flash Drive at either 1TB or 512GB. Can't figure out how to do that on the website.
You may be able to go into a Best Buy store that has an official Apple section with an Apple worker to order?
I don't think you're able to order made-to-order models on Bestbuy.com.
