Excellent router and a must for an Apple ecosystem
on December 14, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
The wifi is strong and the look is sleek. I wanted one to go with my Time Capsule so I could extend my wifi since it was being kept in a back room. You have to use all Apple products to extend wifi. Last, I heard that Apple was discontinuing production of routers, and I wanted to grab one of these before they stop making them.

Take a reading light with you when you travel with this Insignia reading lamp. This compact battery-operated LED light clips securely onto your book or laptop to give you extra light when and where you need it. The flexible shaft on this Insignia reading lamp lets you adjust the light's angle precisely.

The minute I opened the package the spring on the clip flew off. I could see from how it was put together that it would not have lasted very long, at least as far as the clip is concerned, which is really the point of a clip-on light. I never even put the battery in or turned on the light. I returned the item.

These make plugging in speakers a breeze. If you've ever had to move speakers and deal with the frayed wire ends you'll love the simplicity. Also ensures a good connection.

Just great stuff from the Floyd
on August 18, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Pink Floyd plays some classics from their catalogue in an abandoned Pompeiian coliseum. I mean, come on, it's the Floyd! I bought this solely for the live version of Echoes which is just incredible. The rest is good, too, and the band are a clever bunch. I'd say get it, especially if you're a fan. I don't think the director's cut is any good but the disk includes the original so you have the choice.

![Bottle Rocket [DVD] [1996]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/3533/3533778_sa.jpg)
The first film from the team that made Rushmore, Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson's Bottle Rocket is a tale of three ne'er-do-well, rookie criminals who never quite overcome their suburban upbringing. With a minimum of special features, all of the DVD's fireworks are in the film itself. The double-sided disc allows for viewing in original 1.85:1 widescreen or full-screen formats. Dolby Surround Sound as well as 5.1 Digital, including a French option, are available; languages and subtitles both include English and Spanish. A scene-by-scene chapter selection is also offered. All in all, this DVD shoots straight, even if the film's cast of bumbling crooks never quite can.

Wes Anderson's first and required viewing for fans of his work. You can see the genesis of his style. It's also a pretty good movie. I would not place it on par with his later works but still good clean fun.

No footage or band interviews
on August 18, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Look elsewhere. There is neither band footage nor interviews with band members. Just people talking about the band. I think it's kind of a promo for a movie made about the band. Waste of time.

The SB-910 is Nikon's most sophisticated and powerful Creative Lighting System portable Speedlight designed for use on camera as well as for complete wireless control in the studio or on location.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this speed light for my wife. It's the top of the line. It syncs up with her camera. The light is enough to fill in the shadows. Helps create better pictures in less than optimal lighting conditions. She can set it to sync with other lights too. She is happy with it. I don't have any complaints.

I only use these at the gym. The sound is good but lets in some background so if your gym plays loud music you should look elsewhere. They are comfortable and don't get in the way even when laying back on a bench. They also don't fall off because of the design. Battery life is good I charge them probably once a week. They come with an arm strap for your iPod or phone, but I don't think it would fit a large phablet. Also, the strap is very tight on my bicep at the roomiest setting which are 16 in without a pump. But I won't take off marks for that because it's really just a bonus. I do think the charging port is flimsy and we will see how long it holds up. It's also difficult to plug in. For the flimsy charging port I take off 1 star.

I like these because they are not bulky and provide excellent drop protection. This is my second from this product line. I must say however that there is a difference in quality between the first I purchased a couple years ago and this one. They are made more cheaply now. Yes they were for the same phone. Eventually the old one started making pits in my phone. I guess it loosened up and allowed either skin cells or small amounts of moisture in. They are also prone to discoloration from your skin's natural oils. Nothing is perfect, that's true of this case, it loses 1 star.

I have been happy with this band. It is waterproof but be aware that water hitting the screen will operate its functions, which is mildly amusing but annoying. I'm glad it's sensitive I suppose. The other functions you can just look up so I won't waste time. I must say I was pleasantly surprised that it motivated me to hit my step and stair goals. Really thought I would just use the gym functions. Last, the extra large band is much longer than the regular band. I would say my wrist is somewhere in between. I would definitely try them on if I had the chance. The regular is quite small so this was the winner. BTW I have only had occasional sync issues which have always ironed out within a short time. So, band not quite right, occasional sync issues, and no screen lock feature take away 1 star. It's not perfect but I do recommend.
