Sounds great, takes a little getting used to

First off, these sound amazing for small earbud earphones. However, they do take a little getting used to. The microphone/control hangs from the right side earphone, so there is always a little extra weight hanging from that ear. The silicone ear tips stay firmly seated in the ear, so it's not a big deal, but a litlte annoying at first. Also, the wires that split to each ear are a bit longer than other earphones I've had in the past, so they are a little annoying at first as well. When you clip the main wire to your shirt, you're left with some wire hanging from your ears that bounces around. My favorite earphones, in terms of fit, had a little plastic piece that you could slide up the wires so that they could be less loose under you chin...that would have been nice on these. However, they work great and look great and I would buy again.

![Beyond the Mask [Blu-ray] [2014]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/2883/28836144_sa.jpg)

Great movie, clean, the whole family will enjoy. While this is not obviously a movie with a budget of millions of dollars , it was very well done, well produced and the action and effects have progressed a long way from earlier small-budget Christian movies. The best part is that it's completely clean, which is increasingly becoming harder to find. Seems that the big movie people always try to throw in one or two foul words or some lingering shot of some body parts that are completely unnecessary and add nothing to the movie. Maybe Beyond the Mask can help some of the big-movie people to realize that if they would just leave that stuff out, their potential audience would be larger and it wouldn't hurt their movie at all.

7.2-channel Wi-Fi built-in network AV receiver supporting advanced features like AirPlay®, music streaming services, HTC Connect™, AV Controller App and Wireless Direct. The new Extra Bass function contributes to powerful sound, even with smaller speakers and speaker Zone B output expands the receiver's versatility.

This is a nice receiver. Every input you will need is included on this receiver. Setup is easy and it looks sharp too. I bought this to replace an Onkyo TX-SR606 that went kaput, but I liked very well up until then. However, there is one thing you should be aware of that affects my liking of the Yamaha. With my Onkyo, I hooked everything up to my receiver and output video to my TV via a single HDMI cable. Sound was processed through the receiver. On the Yamaha RX-V577, if you hook up component inputs, you have to output component feed to the TV. If you hook up composite inputs, you have to output composite to the TV. If you have multiple inputs, HDMI, component and composite, you have to have all of those sources output to the TV as well. As long as you know this going in, the unit still performs nicely, but this may make it worth the extra $100 to bump up to the RX-V677 for you.

![The Men Who Built America [3 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/7147/7147073_sa.jpg)
This collection takes a look at those responsible for putting the United States of America on a path towards technological, economical, and architectural progress even in the devastating aftermath of the Civil War.

This was a fun, interesting way to learn some historical perspective of some of the men who shaped the United States of America, as it is today. This was put out by the History Channel, and I wasn't able to watch the series on the History Channel, so I bought the Blu-Ray as soon as it came out. I only have one complaint with the series and one with the Blu-Ray/DVD. The series covered Henry Ford very little. He is the last man who built America (in the series) and it seems that they were pressed for time and just covered a few highlights of Ford and that was it. Very little depth into someone that I feel shaped America as much or more than some of the others in the series. Also, the Blu-Ray/DVD contains a 1-2 minute recap every 10 minutes or so of the previous happenings of the series. This was obviously there for the commercial breaks from the TV series, but is unneccessary if you've been watching the DVD.

What's great about it: Fun to watch and you learn some history
What's not so great: The commercial break recap every 10 minutes

This was fun to watch. What is most interesting is that, while this movie is not based on any specific incident, at the end there is a very long list of court cases involving similar issues that formed the basis for this movie. It was entertaining.

We bought one of these speakers for my son to use with his iPad. We loved it so much that we got another one to use ourselves. The sound out of this tiny speaker is amazing. It is very light and easy to transport. The battery lasts a long time. We don't have one of the bigger soundlink speakers to compare, but we are so happy with this one, I don't even need to try the bigger one.

Protect your Apple iPhone 4 or 4S with this OtterBox Commuter Series case that features a polycarbonate shell and a silicone midlayer to safeguard your device against bumps, scratches and shock. Silicone plugs cover the ports to keep internal parts safe.

This is the second case for my iPhone after the last one started to break apart at the corners. I got the yellow/gray commuter case. The case looks awesome and fits the phone great. I have only dropped my phone a few times since I've had it, but I believe if this commuter case were dropped from a reasonable height, it would be fine. My only complaint is that the yellow silicone has areas where it appears dirty, I suppose from sliding it in and out of the case. This does't just wipe off. I still like the case, but may pick up a black one to use the black silicone with the gray plastic protector.

We were needing laptop computers for out kids to do school. I wanted a laptop with Windows 7, but they are hard to find and more expensive. Decided to try these touch screen laptops with Windows 8.1. Setup was fairly straighforward. The computers seem to work well. Speakers are not very loud, but I wouldn't expect stereo performance from a laptop in this price range. Had to drive a ways to get a BB store that we could pick these up right away, but not a big deal. Kids are happy.

Probably the overall funniest movie I have seen

Posted by: jpankask

I have seen a lot of movies in my life. I have never laughed as much in one movie as I did Mom's night out. There is no foul language in this movie, or inappropriately dressed women. I wish Hollywood would take notice of this movie and see that movies don't have to have all the trash to be successful.

What's great about it: Completely clean, extremely funny
What's not so great: There's not more movies like this one

Had an old windows 98 computer will this one read my old files
If you can get the files transferred over from the Win98 machine, this computer should be able to read most of them, depending on the program that created the file. For example if you have old Excel files, but don't have Excel on the new computer, you may not be able to open them. Also, some file formats have changed quite a bit since Windows 98, so some of your files may look different. The transferring process will probably be the hardest, if you don't have a USB port on your old computer. This computer will not have a floppy disk drive, so you will somehow need to get your old files to a USB drive, or a CD/DVD in order to transfer them.
