Adam Lambert - kindle accessory, kindle sleeve


This is the perfect case for protecting your Kindle! My first Kindle was in a leather case and got damaged while I was travelling - the screen broke while it was in the leather case in my suitcase. This new Roo case has amazing bubbles inside that really cusion the device. I also like that it zips at the top - no way the Kindle will slip out. Oh, and I have a gel skin on my Kindle and it still fits into the Roo case - it doesn't slide super easily but it does fit. rooCASE Super Bubble Neoprene Sleeve Case Cover for Amazon Kindle Wireless Reading Device with 6" Display 3G Wi-Fi (3rd Generation and Latest Generation) (Black / Pink)

PROS:



-Great padding: the bubbles inside provide amazing protection



-Lightweight: bubbles avoid needing any hard inserts, making case super light



-Build Quality: great stitching, nice hardened rubber zipper. there is also a barrier between the zipper and the inside of the case, so you don't need to worry about the zipper scratching the kindle



-Convenience: outside storage pocket is large enough for my charger/cable and helps stay closed with a square of velcro.



CONS (?):



-The dimensions are a tad bit too big, which cause very little shifting side-to-side (but the front screen and back of the kindle are padded just fine). However, all edges of the case are well padded, so I haven't noticed any problems. Again, the shift is minimal. I also plan on getting a silicone skin as well which should add to size to the kindle to reduce to or even stop it completely.



-size? The case is a bit thick, so if you are looking for a more streamline case, pass on this. However, I definitely wanted to protect my investment, and I don't mind the size at all given the bubble padding is worth it. It's cute in a plump sort of way.



OTHER:



-color in picture is off. I ordered the pink one, and in real life the color is a more true pink rather than the darker, drabbier pink. Much cuter than the picture.





***OVERALL GREAT PRODUCT THAT'S AESTHETICALLY PLEASING AND HAS A UNIQUE DESIGN THAT OFFERS GREAT PROTECTION FOR YOUR MONEY***

This a great case for your kindle if you're going to be bringing it everywhere...which is the idea of the kindle...right? The foam inside is great padding to keep the kindle safe. I love that I can keep in the case and then throw it in my purse without having to worry about dirt getting into the keys. The front pocket isn't too big but could keep an item such as the charge cord, or screen protectors. A great idea!!

I got a Kindle 3 for Christmas and was faced with the task of finding the perfect case for it. I was picky, I had an idea of what I wanted and I was going to hold out until I found it. Then I happened upon the rooCASE, and this was THE case I was looking for -- something small and compact, protective, and with a small outside pocket to hold my charging cord.



I've had my rooCASE for just over a week and it's perfect. It's not too big where my Kindle slides around inside, but also not too snug where I worry about the zipper nicking my Kindle. The outer pocket isn't huge, but it's just the right size for my charging cord. If I didn't have the cord in it, it would easily hold my cell phone, Zune, or other small things. I can toss the case in my purse or backpack and it doesn't take up a lot of space and I don't worry about my Kindle getting damaged.



Very happy with this case!

I liked the simple 2-color design of solid black with neon pink trim. It fits in my purse & also feel that if & when I drop it, it's protected just fine.



I compared about 10-12 products & read other people's reviews, which really helped me make a final decision.

I received this soft, padded Roocase to fit my new Kindle 3 with its "Incipio" padded cover in the expected time of 2 days prime shipping. While it may have expressed a mild chemical odor out of the package, it lasted for only a day; that is, the case is odor-free as I write this post. I appreciate the case's full-length single pocket, held in place with velcro, to fit the accompanying USB/plug-in charger. This is a nice case for the price...the pink color is more vibrant than the photo reflects...I can't imagine paying any more, unless I wanted a more shock-resistant hard case.

I purchased the rooCASE for my new Kindle and I'm very happy with my choice. After looking at many different carrying cases online, I felt this one was the best product for the best value. I believe I was right. It is perfect for storing and protecting the Kindle and it even has room in the outside pocket to carry the power cord. It has a lot of built in cushioning for protection. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a cushioned carrying/storage case for their Kindle.

I like this case. It's spacious enough that I don't have to squeeze the Kindle in but it's nicely padded on the inside. I like that there is an extra pocket on the front, but I'm not sure what it's for, since the cord is too bulky for it.

Anyhow, I generally like the case and my only suggestion would be to make the front pocket a bit bigger, so the cord can fit into it. - Kindle 3 Covers - Kindle Sleeve - Kindle Accessory - Kindle 3'

Smoke Detectors


We needed a few more alarms around the house and these were priced right.They have a mount which secures to the wall, the sensor unit can be taken down by rotating off the mount. They even come with batteries. Kidde i9040 Fire Sentry Battery-Operated Ionization Sensor Compact Smoke and Fire Alarm

I've had five of these in my house for a couple of months now and haven't had a problem with any of them. I've had many, ahem, opportunities to test them thanks to my cooking skills (or lack thereof). They're very easy to install and, thanks to their small size, are less noticeable than the larger ones.

I've had my alarm for 5 years. Its main advantage is its small size, especially these days where each bedroom is supposed to have its own smoke detector. It gets good battery life as well, I only had to replace the battery it came with just once. However I did have a problem with false alarms due to dust building up inside of it. The fact that the room has a ceiling fan did not help. This unit is difficult to clean inside. The small slots in the front of the unit go to the horn, not the ionization detector. A vacuum cleaner will not be able to throughly suck up the dust that will eventually build up inside the front cover. There front cover is not meant to be removable.



If you've got pets and/or a ceiling fan then, maybe a bigger unit with lots of slots for easy vacuuming would be better.

Not much to say for an economical detector. It has no frills, but its cheap price allows you to install more than would otherwise be the case. My advice is be sure you can easily get at them because when it goes off, you have to take out the battery to stop it. It will go off at the scent of smoke, so be ready for false alarms -- installation location is critical to your sanity.

The i9040 smoke detector is a very nice unit especially for the low price. The micro profile lends itself to a very compact unit but is very loud with its 85 decibel alarm. The unit comes complete with mounting hardware and battery. Don't let the low price discourage you, I highly recommend this detector.

This is a very small and cute alarm. They are also very inexpensive and I have seen them for less than 5$ each. The newest ones now have the hush feature that is activated by pushing the test button(some boxes still have the older image of the alarm without the hush feature). They just use the standard 9 volt battery. They only have an ionization sensor so it may be a good idea to get some photoelectric alarms also. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because they seem to be built a little cheaply. I had one where the buzzer became detached from the lid and when the alarm was tested the sound was a bit muffled. Overall I think this is a very good alarm for the price.

These units are small... like crazy small. In fact, the packaging for these units is small. The detectors do come with a batter and a mounting kit. Cheap enough to put in all the bedrooms in your house. Highly suggested.

The Kidde i9040 Fire Sentry Compact Smoke and Fire Alarm is a quality product with a small profile. The inconspicuous device mounts anywhere and is less obtrusive than larger devices. I also have confidence in Kidde brand products. With a bargain price and free Amazon Prime 2-day shipping (it actually arrived in one day), it is a real deal.

I bought a bunch of these as I considered that I did not have enough installed, i.e in hallways, garage. They work well and I like that they are not very big. Another plus is that the battery is enclosed.'

Ps3 Hard Drive - hard drive, macbook


First of all, there used to be two product listings for this hard drive, both identical except for the ASIN numbers. One was listed as the stand alone, the other was listed in the Western Digital Scorpio Blue page with the pull-down menu that has all the different sized drives in the series. I have no idea what the difference is. Amazon, for some reason, took down the 500 GB listing from the pull-down menu and it now has it's own page. Odd they chose that direction. It would have made more sense to remove the individual listing.



Ok, this is for PS3 owners/upgraders. This drive fits the PS3 wonderfully and runs nice and cool with no issues. For the price you can't go wrong. I have the 40 GB PS3 (Spider Man 3 bundle) and have the data (saves + install) of about 10 games and I was running out of space. I did a lot of research of the various SATA 2.5" laptop hard drives available. I researched all the various brands and compared reviews and prices vs size. I came to the conclusion that a 500 GB drive for $100 is a steal given the extra space gained, so that's the direction I went. Of all the brands, the Western Digital Scorpio Blue series seemed to have the most positive reviews all over with the least amount of reviews stating drive failure, so that's the one I chose.



Installing was extremely easy after backing up my data. The longest part of the whole procedure was backing up and restoring the data. I won't go into details, but I do recommend the app another reviewer used to format an external drive larger than 32GB in the FAT32 file system. It's called "fat32format". It works extremely well and extremely fast (less than 4 seconds for a 120GB external drive). Just follow the directions and you're good. I did this because in order for the PS3 to recognize the external drive it has to be formatted in the FAT32 file system. As for the procedure of upgrading the PS3, just google "upgrade PS3 hard drive" and you'll get tons of tutorials and videos.



Now here's something important: A lot of people who upgraded their PS3's and saw xxx/465 GB free after upgrading are not realizing that this is not the fault of the PS3. You could put the same drive in a laptop and it will have the same 465GB. This is because manufacturers advertise a gigabyte as something different than what windows or the PS3 recognize. Manufacturers see a gigabyte (GB) as 1000 megabytes, and 1 megabyte (MB) as 1000 kilobytes (KB), when in actuality windows sees 1 MB as 1024 KB. So that's where the unaccounted lost space goes.



So as of now, my opinion is that this hard drive is a great choice for PS3 upgrades. If you don't want to drop a bill on the 500GB version they also have the Scorpio Blues in smaller sizes for reduced prices. I like this hard drive so much I may replace my laptop hard drive with one. Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 2.5 Inch, 8 MB Cache, 5400 RPM SATA II WD5000BEVT

I bought the new MacBook Aluminum (13" - Late 2008), with the 160GB hard drive, which quickly fell short to my storage demands. While on the market for an upgrade hard drive, I came across the WD 500GB Scorpio Blue and hesitant at first (I could not find anywhere a post which would guarantee that it would work with my MB), I decided to go for it. Upon receiving my hard drive, I ran the Time Machine on my MB, switched the OEM hard drive for this beauty (it took about 15 mins.), installed Leopard from the DVD that came with my MB, and then restored from the most recent TM backup (installing the OS took about 10 mins, and restoring the backup took about 2 hrs - it was a 140GB backup!). So far, I've had no problems whatsoever using the drive. It is very quiet, does not heat up excesively (comparable actually to the original hard drive), and now I have a MB with a 500GB drive!!!



I am extremely satisfied with this drive, and would definitely recomend it to any MB/MBPro owner who wants to upgrade the hard drive.



------------



Update: July 19th, 2010



I've been using this hard drive for over a year and a half now, without any problems whatsoever. Quite drive, no difference in power consumption, performs great! Actually, I am thinking about replacing it with the new 1TB Scorpio, especially because my digital movie collection is growing really fast (I'm ripping my own DVD's so I can view them in my LCD TV, my iPhone, my iPod or my MBP). Great drives, and to be honest, I've never heard of any freezing, beach balls, or any other problems before or after I bought my drive. Great product...still give it 5 stars!

PLUSES: It's large, quiet, fast. It easily and perfectly fits where a 20-40-60-80 GB, 2.5" SATA drive would, including in a PS3.



MINUSES: You may be able to find larger drives but not everyone may need more.



Of course, it's no longer 'the biggest' but I knew that a couple of months ago, when I upgraded my PS3. I also figured that, since I have no plans of storing a movie library, 320 GB would carry me for the next couple of years. After that, it's likely that I'd be buying the next generation game/multimedia machine.



Advice to the PS3 upgraders from someone who, after some hesitation, actually did it:

- Go for the highest capacity. If it's a 2.5" SATA and you can afford it you should probably go with it. I already replaced my original PS3 drive with a 320GB but my formerly 60GB laptop has a 500GB 2.5" WD SATA now.

- If you need to format this drive or any drive to Fat32, the best utility I found was FAT32FORMAT.EXE - Google and you shall find it out there. I'm not reviewing the formatter utility but I can tell you that it does a drive in less than 10 seconds AND it works on Vista.

- It helps to have a 60-80 USB-connected drive handy to backup your PS3 content before upgrading. With one of these as the backup device, the PS3 fully restore EVERYTHING, including whatever copywrited or protected objects, such as, in my case the PS2 memory cards emulations.

Note (March 12, 2009)

The Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 2.5 Inch, 8 MB Cache, 5400 RPM SATA II WD5000BEVT seems to be the way to go these days. I like WD and the 500GB is selling now for less than I paid for the 320GB. I actually helped a couple of friends upgrade with this drive and it was quick and easy.



Note 2: (April 8, 2009)

The review above was for the 320GB, which I used to upgrade my PS3. I just ordered the 500GB because life became almost unbearable with a 60GB on my laptop. I am planning to swap the drives without actually reinstalling the OS and the apps with help from Acronis True Image Home 2009 PC Backup & Recovery.



Note 3: (April 12, 2009) - Laptop Upgrade

My 2 year old Thinkpad T60 came with a wimpy 60GB SATA drive. I needed the ability to upgrade to the much larger 500GB and do it without having to reinstall the OS, apply the service packs and then reinstall and configure 100 different little apps.



Acronis True Image Home 2009 PC Backup & Recovery allowed me to do all of the above in about one hour. Its Utilities section has a 'clone' option that would copy EVERYTHING, including the Master Boot Record/Sector (MBR) from the puny 60GB drive unto the 500GB while allowing me to control the size of the active partition - this while the 500GB was connected through a USB wire and the laptop booted off the program's CD.



Once the operation completed (50 minutes) I simply removed the old 60GB drive off my laptop and replaced it with the 500GB drive. Once the laptop was turned back on it booted up happily, with a 200GB master partition and a 300GB second partition. There are 3 words that I have to use to describe the process: PERFECTION and COMPLETE SATISFACTION. This capability alone is worth the price of this product.



To my surprise, with the new drive, the Primary Hard Disk score as computed by Microsoft (right click on 'My computer' then select 'Properties') jumped from a decent 4.8 to an unexpected 5.7. - 500 Gb - Macbook - Hard Drive - Ps3 Hard Drive'

23 Guage


These pins work great in the Grex 23 gauge pin nailer. I haven't had any jams or problems at all. The only reason I'm taking off one star is that some of the clips were broken when I received the package. GREX P6/MP-3 23 Gauge Multi-Pack Headless Pins (3,000 per box)

The nails are okay. However, some lengths aren't very exact at all. Of the six different lengths, three were kind of off. The 3/4 were a little too long. Two of the others were a little too short. I can't remember the exact errors, but I think two were off by about 1/32 inches and the third a bit more than that. I mean it's close enough to work but still. Do pin nailers have some sort of convention I'm unaware of? I doubt it.

The nails seem to shoot fine with my inexpensive central pneumatic (Harbor Freight) gun.

Also, to save time I organized the nails into three small bins on one of those shelving units with lots of bins. I put the 3/8 with the 3/4, the 1/2 with the 1, and the 5/8 with the 1 3/8 nails. Now, I can quickly and confidently get the nails I need right away.

Overall, I would recommend these, but I'm won't get them again.'

Ipad Accessory - ipad accessory, ipad 2


Though released with the iPad 2, this adapter will, in fact, pipe both video and audio out of an iPad 1 and an iPhone 4 through HDMI without any problem as long as the app you wish to view supports it.



My main interest in this adapter was to have the ability to watch Netflix streaming on family TVs who do not have Internet service. The Netflix app works beautifully over AT&T 3G connections on both the iPad and iPhone 4, but I wished to have a way to use the service at older family member's houses who do not have Internet of any sort. I had read most of the reviews here on Amazon and done some other digging around, but no one was very clear as to what this adapter could and could not do on older hardware. Here's my assessment to date:



iPad 2 - You get true "mirroring" performance. This essentially means that whatever you see and hear from the iPad 2 on screen gets put through the HDMI connection, including the home screen icons, sound effects, etc. This is what the adapter was created for.



iPad 1 - When plugged in, you do not get to see anything on the TV screen, but the TV will recognize that it is receiving an HDMI signal. It will simply be blank. The iPad 1 screen will behave normally until you open an app that is compatible with video/audio out and that's when the magic starts. In the Netflix app, which is the only one I've tested so far, you still get the menus and whatnot on the iPad 1 screen as always, but as soon as you start playing streaming video, the iPad 1 screen displays a red screen with the Netflix logo. All the video and sound gets piped through the HDMI output to the TV.



I did not have sophisticated testing equipment or ability to display the signal's resolution on the TV, but the resolution appears to be, at least for iPad 1, 720p. There was no distortion or stretching of the picture and it filled the TV screen properly with very small horizontal bars to keep the aspect ratio correct. With three bars of signal, the movie streamed just fine and quality was perfectly viewable with no grossly obvious compression artifacts. Better than VHS and loosely in the ballpark of DVD (though upconverted to 720p, apparently).



iPhone 4 - I tried the same thing on my iPhone 4. It all works essentially the same as on an iPad 1, which makes perfect sense given the similarities in hardware. I did notice much worse compression artifact errors, though, when output to TV. My guess is that the video signal being streamed to the iPhone 4 is scaled down to fit the small screen, where such artifacting would be less noticeable, and that this small-screen version does not scale well to a 42" HDTV. Though both sound and video were output just fine, the quality of the video left much to be desired. In fact, I would describe the video as essentially unwatchable.





It's my understanding that other apps work essentially the same. I don't have a list of apps, other than Netflix, which will work in this way. I wouldn't be surprised if the YouTube app, iPod video, etc. worked and even possibly a game or two. My main need was Netflix, and it works just fine for that purpose.





The adapter itself has two ports, one HDMI female port and one standard female iPod connector port. This permits you to power/charge the iPad or iPhone while simultaneously outputting video and audio. Not included, of course, is an HDMI cable. I would suggest you get at least a 3' cable, possibly a 6' cable, with which to connect to the TV or projector since you'll have to account for needing to physically manipulate the touch screen to start up video output. Build quality is typical Apple, which is to say excellent.



Very pleased with my gamble to purchase this. Didn't want others to have to worry if their intended use was similar. Apple MC953ZM/A Digital AV Adapter ZML

I bought this item right before HBOGo was released so I could watch all of the HBO series' on my TV. I was disappointed that when HBOGo was released and I hooked up my iPad 2 all that popped up on my TV was a HBOGO logo. Besides that it works great, if you buy movies or shows off of itunes they look great on the TV. I would buy this unless you want it specifically for HBOGo

This is a little positive review to try balance out some of these ridiculous 1 star reviews. Duh, of course this adapter only works for iPad 2! They announced it the same day! Don't you think if apple could have made an HDMI adapter for iPad 1, it would have been out before by now?



The amazon listing even SAYS iPad 2 in the title. Please guys, give a review based on if the product works properly or not, not because you didn't bother to read the product requirements.

Like others have noted, this AV adapter should only be used with the iPad 2 for mirroring and watching movies such as on Netflix. I chose to purchase this adapter because HDMI cables carry both audio and video unlike VGA cables which only do video. However, the Netflix quality is noticeably inferior on the TV when using the iPad compared to my other Netflix streaming devices such as my PS3 and Blu-Ray player.



I tried to be a little fancy and connected my camera connection kit to the Apple pinout (this adapter has an HDMI port and an Apple pinout), but the iPad did not recognize the camera or the SD memory card. The pinout can only be used for charging and nothing more. Even though Apple made it clear that the pinout is for charging the iPad, it is still a shame because other accessories could have easily been supported if Apple made an effort to do so.



Overall, the cable does its job but not in a spectacular way. I really thought I would use this adapter often, but the mediocre video output quality and the one-dimensional functionality of this promising product has caused me to only use this only for "emergency" situations. - Ipad 2 - Ipad - Ipad Accessory'

Given the product's title: VGA to Component Video, you would expect to be able to take this cable and connect the VGA plug on your computer to the Component inputs on your TV.



Well that does not work at all. Some reviewers have stated that the cable works for other purposes. If so, great.



However I ordered this cable based on the title, and it did not work at all for that purpose.



It almost feels like fraud to state "Component Video" in the title, when in fact this cable is not outputting component video. VGA to RCA Component RGB Cable - 1.8M - M/M

To connect a VGA computer jack to a component HDTV input you need a converter. I have a 2005 Toshiba Laptop with a S output and a VGA. It works OK with the S cable, but no one on any website has stated that JUST a cable will work connecting to a HDTV, only a projector. The link below is to a company that sells vga to component converter boxes.



[...]

This cable is RGB not component video. The reviewer that stated the pigtails were not shielded was mistaken, they are. If you are trying to connect AV equipment to a computer monitor this is not the cable. If you have a home theater computer with separate Red Green and Blue outputs and your monitor has a VGA input this is the cable you need.

I purchased this cable to go from my HDTV cable box component outputs to the VGA input on my ViewSonic projector. It works perfectly and is a definite improvement over the S-Video cable I was using. Shipping was fast and the cable is well made & sturdy. I would definitely buy from this company again!

I bought this cable to connect my DVD player(s)component video output to my Samsung P400 DLP LED projector's VGA input.

Samsung P400 DLP Lumen Pocket Ultraportable Projector (1.9 Pounds)

It works great!

I purchased the cable in order to connect my Samsung Blu-ray player to my Isignia projector. My project does not have an hdmi input and my blu-ray player does not have a video-s output. Therefore, the only way I could connect the player to the projector and get a clearer picture was to use the RGB outputs on the player and the VGA input on the project. It worked flawlessly!

This item works great for the purposes intended.

Other reviewers have stated that it did not work with their MAC or PC... hello, does anyone read the description:



Note: This cable is NOT designed to work in anyway with a computer's input or output.'

Travel Converter - travel adapter, converter


This transformer has worked admirably so far. I used it on a trip to India, and it worked well. It doesn't make any noise while in use, and it seems to stay reasonably cool. Not like I'm drawing all that much wattage through it, but it seems to be just fine.



Just a few quibbles:



1. The 110-volt North American plug offered on the front of the unit has a spot for a grounding prong, but the unit itself is not grounded. I still cannot fathom the logic of that design choice. Especially in India, where European plugs are *required* to have a grounding prong. You can't get a plug like this one into the outlet without one; the outlets have an internal safety device that only opens when a grounding prong is inserted into the outlet. Sadly, the only way I could get this to work in India was to insert a pen in the grounding prong hole to release the safety and then insert the plug into the power holes.



2. The only justification I could find for not having a grounded unit is that the unit is fuse-protected. But they don't tell you what kind of fuse is required, and the fuse is located *inside* the unit, such that you would need a screwdriver to open the unit to replace the fuse. If it is going to be fuse-protected, the fuses must be user-replaceable, and need to be easily accessible without the use of tools, which I'd rather not carry around with me when I'm traveling internationally. (See EDIT below)



As far as the usability goes, it works as designed: it takes 230-240V power and steps it down to 110V power, offering you a North American power outlet. It's reasonably small and lightweight in comparison to some other transformers, but that's because it handles a much lower wattage. You have to be careful about the application that this will be used for: works well for laptops, phone chargers, electric razors, etc, but don't plug anything into it that draws over 200W, like your curling iron or hairdryer, as you'll fry the transformer instantly. And the lack of a grounded power plug and the internal fuse are poor design choices which nearly limits the functionality of the unit to the point where it's almost worth it to pay a little more for a better-designed unit.



For the price, it was worth it for me. Just make sure you understand the application for which it will be used before you buy it.



EDIT: I found out two new things about this unit that are very interesting.



1. There is NO INTERNAL FUSE, regardless of what the documentation says. Opening the unit up and poking around clearly reveals this.

2. The grounding prong hole on the front of the unit is not connected to anything on the inside; the unit does not ground the item plugged into it, nor does it attempt to.



So not only is the grounding plug on the front misleading, so is the documentation. As I mentioned earlier, for the price, it does what you'd expect. In other words, you get what you pay for. SIMRAN 200 WATTS DELUXE STEP DOWN VOLTAGE CNVERTER MODEL SMF-200 FOR FOREIGN TRAVEL.

If you are going to Europe and want a step-down converter, this will do the trick. I used on my trip to Spain. It's not as big as others.



I used it to charge my camera & iPhone and it worked great.



My girlfriend also used it for her hair straightener and that worked fine as well. Other girls on my trip used a simple adapter and ended up frying their straighteners and/or burning their hair.



So ladies, make sure you buy a converter and not a simple adapter! :)

Perfect for electronics (I used it for my laptop and my Blackberry)! I left it plugged in for several weeks with no overheating issues. Also, the "pigtail" plug is perfect: Most transformers have the plug attached and can be very heavy and clunky when hanging from a socket.

Took this on a 2-week trip to China and used it to recharge my iPod and camera batteries. Worked flawlessly. Nice that it has a long plug so it's not hanging on the outlet. Kind of heavy (feels like half a brick) but otherwise perfect.

Bought three for our long stay in Italy. Works great - the long cord makes it very convenient. We use it for our computers, i-pods, etc. I would recommend this product to anyone who is planning to travel and stay for awhile. The only drawback is that it is heavy (maybe a pound?) so if you're on the go, it might not be the best thing. But we are staying here for three months, so it is worth it to have and not cart all over the place....

I used this in Korea, and it worked well for all my cameras, laptops and tech products. I noted a previous review about hair curling irons, and I tried it, and it worked well. Here is something to note about hair dryers, however. It was working well in cold mode, and I increased it, and then popped a fuse. Just make sure the voltage is less than 200 Watts, and it will work fine. Otherwise, the fuse will pop, and the product is useless, as well as your other products that you need charged. So, I had to buy one locally anyway. - Travel Converter - Travel Adapter - Converter - Transformer'

Gaming Mice - mmo, wow


** This review has been revised for the release of the 2.0 drivers, which enable full key remapping and macro support. THANK YOU RAZER! **

** Please consider this a 5/5 star review. For some reason, Amazon isn't allowing me to change that aspect of my review and I would like to keep the comments on this product review rolling. Sorry for any confusion this may cause. **





My first impressions review of the Razer Naga was pretty grim. Having come from using a Logitech G7 for years prior, the Naga felt clunky at best and the complete lack of any key rebinding support for a mouse intended for MMO use left me scratching my head. In the days following that initial review, Wave of team Naga left me a comment (as seen in the comments section of this review) stating that they were intending to address the later with an upcoming driver release. A few months later, just as he had promised, version 2.0 hit... and it hit hard!



Before I get into all that, let me tackle the ergonomics. As I mentioned, at first I felt this mouse to be very clunky. Now, months later, I could not have been more wrong. When they said this mouse was designed for long gaming sessions with minimal hand fatigue, they meant it. My only real complaints in this department is about button placement. No, no, not the 12-button thumb pad... those are perfect! My beef is with the two additional index finger buttons, which for me, are at best awkwardly placed and at worst completely unusable.



But lets cut the nonsense, if you are reading this you care about one thing and one thing only... the 12 buttons on the side of this bad-boy.

I'll be straight with you, at first it is awkward as hell and comes with a bit of a learning curve. Don't expect to pick this mouse up and be some kinda of button-pressing Mozart by morning. Now months after my purchase I am still second guessing myself from time to time when reaching for the 8 and 9 key, mostly because I don't use them in very many games. As I alluded to earlier in this review, they are placed such that I don't have any issue at all reaching any one button (though 11 and 12 require a funky move that can mess with my cursor precision.)



The 2.0 driver also brought with it two additional features that came as a bit of a surprise to me... profiles and macros! The profiles are just what you would expect and though very basic in their functionality, the macros should get the job done nine times out of ten. If you are familiar with the Logitech G15 or Nostromo N52, then you know what I am talking about. If not, well, it's little more than pre-recorded keystrokes with custom delays between them. Nothing fancy, but far from useless.



Now that the issue of rebindable keys has been taken care of, I struggle to find anything at all wrong with this mouse.

If I absolutely had to give it a con, hmmm... I suppose it requires a bit more care than other mice in order to keep clean. Lots of buttons means lots of places for build up. Fortunately the fit/finish on this mouse is tight enough that cleanup is a breeze.



Happy grinding/fragging/whateveryouneed17gloriousbuttonsfordoing! Razer Naga MMOG Laser Gaming Mouse (RZ01-00280100-R3)

Edit: I've stopped playing WoW so much and have been playing other types of games recently. Now that the buttons can be remapped this mouse works well for any game. It's great for shooters because I can swap weapons without having to reach for the F-keys. I've grown to appreciate how ergonomic it is. It fits my hand perfectly. I'm fully acclimated to the button placement and can hit the right one without thinking. Razer was right that it takes 15-20 hours for it to become second nature. I have found that for my short fingers only 9 of the 12 thumb buttons are an easy reach. I try to put the less important functions on the top row.





As an avid WoW player I'm always on a quest for mice with more buttons. MOAR! Most mice are limited to 5 mappable buttons that my fingers can actually reach. Some do cram more buttons on the mouse but place them in awkward locations that are only practical for infrequently used functions. I had high hopes for the SteelSeries WoW branded mouse but it's built poorly and the thumb buttons are hard to press individually without fat fingering the next button. Another mouse I wanted to like was the Sandio 3D but it's way too large for my hand. Plus, the hat switches are good for movement but not so good for mapping to four individual functions. I've been using Logitech MX series mice that have 8-9 mappable buttons. These are comfortable and the software is very flexible in how the buttons are mapped. I've been content with them but am always looking for more.



Enter the Razer Naga. I thought this was a Photoshop joke when I first saw the picture. But they really have put a cell phone style keypad on the thumb side for a total of 17 buttons. What's amazing is they've done this while keeping the mouse a reasonable size and having all but one button within easy finger reach. The mouse feels very high quality. It's very comfortable with good tactile feel. The scroll wheel is the nicest I've ever used. It's clear that Razer puts a lot of effort into creating a functional design, not just something that looks good in the box. My only complaint about the physical aspect is that it's rather lightweight.



The thumb buttons will take getting used to and I'm still working on it. I'm not going to raid with it out of the box because I don't want people to die. But even after a short while playing around with it in battlegrounds I'm improving and I can tell that the muscle memory will build up quickly until it feels natural - just like with a keyboard or gaming pad. Thoughtfully, Razer includes rubbery stick on nubs that you can place as tactile landmarks to train yourself. Razer claims 88% of gamers are fully comfortable after 18 hours of play.



The Windows driver is simpler and less flexible than I expected. The thumb buttons map to either the number row above the keyboard or the right number pad. The 5 main buttons map to the standard windows Left/Right/Middle/Back/Forward actions. There is no custom button mapping. Razer expects you to use an in game interface to map your actions to the fixed buttons. This is fine for WoW but could be a limitation on other games.



Razer supplies a custom WoW addon that is available at [...]. It's just a branded version of Dominos - an established addon. It's good that Razer licensed something that is fully featured and well tested rather than creating something new that probably wouldn't be as good. I'm unable to use it, however, because it conflicts with Bartender4. There is no need to use the Razer addon as the mouse is just acting like 12 keyboard buttons. Since the default behavior is to just map the 12 numbers above the keyboard you could just use standard WoW action bars and keybindings with zero configuration.



If it's not clear by now, I think this is a great product. I've been waiting for a mouse like this for 5 years and Razer has delivered! - Wow - Mmo - Naga - Razer'

Fertility Monitor - ttc, conception


I would like to add my support for this product but would also like to inject some reality into the reviews. Some reviews I've read make it sound like this machine is "responsible" for their getting pregnant or having a healthy baby. I know noone thinks that is true, but it's important to remember the sole function of this machine: to help you know when you're ovulating. This is particularly critical if you have irregular periods, like I do. This monitor really did help me know when the "peak" days were, and I just found out that I'm pregnant (yay!).



But, this is an expensive machine, and I think that not everyone needs it. If your cycles are regular there are other low tech ways to know when you're ovulating, e.g. charting your temperatures (read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility", a very empowering book) and looking for other biological clues which I won't get into here.



I like the monitor itself but am really not fond of the company who makes it--they are really trying to shake women down for every last penny. There is no way this machine should cost as much as it does, considering how simple it is. Also, they tell you that you need to use sticks only from the same package in case there are discrepancies in quality from package to package--technically, then, you will be throwing away a whole lot of (expensive, polluting) unused sticks. If there are quality discrepancies, that is their quality control problem! Yet, they want to pass this cost on to you.



Also, they tell you that you cannot pass your machine onto another person when you're done with it because a) it "learns" you and b) might be contaminated with bacteria. First of all, it also says that it only retains 6 months of info before erasing the data month by month as more data is recorded (i.e. it only "remembers" your most recent 6 months of info). This means that it could in fact "learn" a new person. Also, the bacteria b.s. is just to cover their heinies in the case that someone does pass on disease, but urine does not really come in contact with the monitor, only the strips. Also, urine is an antiseptic! So, it's not going to carry disease in that manner. In other words, they want every woman on the planet to buy their own monitor.



So, for women with irregular periods, I do recommend this. But, give yourself some credit to know your own body and its powers as well. If your periods are regular and you use this thing and get pregnant, don't act like this machine did it for you--you and your man had something to do with it too! Let's not glorify technology too much here.



[Postscript: I miscarried on that pregnancy. Again, not the monitor's responsibility. ;) However, I have again gotten pregnant, by making sure to take advantage of the 2 fertile days per cycle that it identifies for you. It solidified my confidence in this product, since I tried to "wing it" for a few months without the monitor with no results. Also, my friend who has an irregular cycle got pregnant very soon after using this. I still believe it is overpriced, but if you're really having trouble with timing, it might be worth it for you.] ClearBlue Easy- Fertility Sticks and Monitor Package, 1ct

This monitor works great!!! My doctors gave me less than 5% chance of getting pregnant due to premature menopause. With out using this monitor I would have no idea when I would ovulate because my cycles are so different. The first cycle I did not hit peak fertility till day 20 the second month I hit peak on day 13. I was a little nervous when first buying this machine because its a lot of money to spend on something that may or may not work but I got pregnant on the second cycle of using this machine so I can say its the best money I ever spend. Its worth every penny.

Just like many of you, once I decided I wanted a baby I wanted instant gratification. Well, there is no magic pill, device or method to insure that happens. I had been ttc #1 for a little over a year when I stumbled on this device. I also chart my basal body temperature and cervical mucus and use "Pre-seed," a sperm-friendly lubricant, on my dryer fertile days. My doctor put me on Femara which is a fertility drug similar yet different than Clomid when I went for my first infertility workup at 8 months ttc. My doctor diagnosed me with a hormonal imbalance and he wanted to correct that with the fertility drug. I was convinced that it was too early to be on a fertility drug but tried it anyway. On my first month of using this monitor I noticed that I had 15 days of high fertility and no peak - keep in mind, I was using Femara at that point. I went off the fertility drugs at that point, started an organic diet and herbal regimen to naturally correct my hormonal imbalance. The second month, I was stressed out and ovulated very late (CD 22). By using the monitor and taking my bbt every day, I realized that my body ovulated late and the monitor was very helpful. On the 2nd month, I had 3 days of high and no peak. I continued with the herbs and organic diet in an effort to balance my hormones. This is now my third month of using this monitor and I finally have had a normal cycle off fertility drugs with 2 days of high fertility and 2 peak days. To sum this up, anytime you are ttc, you need to have some patience and learn how to interpret what your body is trying to tell you. For me, I think this device gave me peace of mind and it is very helpful when you combine the information with your basal body temperature. I give this product a 4 because it does a great job for most women if you give it a chance. The reason I did not give it a 5 was two-fold: 1) customer service is terrible (the 1-800 help line) and 2) the company will not tell you how the product works (it's top-secret). After 3 months, I am still not pregnant, however, the high and peak days on my fertility monitor have let me know that I am ovulating and my hormones have returned to normal. This gives me peace of mind. For any woman reading this that is having problems conceiving, do your research and keep trying until you find something that works for you! Below I've pasted two links to products that have helped me.

Samsung Laser Printer - monochrome, samsung


I have to say this is the best choice I could find at this price. The only weakness is that the original toner runs out too quickly (Less than 200 pages).



06-Nov-2010 Update:

I have found out a way to disable the printing counter of the toner, see my comment for more details.



11-Nov-2010 Update:

Based on my knowledge, following printers' toner (Don't take this word the wrong way, I mean black powdered carbon) are compatible, although I can't 100% guarantee that every OEM toner of following series is compatible with MLT-D104, because there are tons of OEM factories on the market. You can buy the cheapest toner which is listed below to refill your MLT-D104 Toner.



ML-1640K ML-1641K ML-1642K ML-2240K ML-2241K ML-2242 ML-1666



Here is a video which shows how to refill the toner:

[...] Samsung Monochrome Laser Printer (ML-1665)

My son spilled root beer into my venerable HP LaserJet 4L and ruined it. That printer was a workhorse, but it was slow.



The Samsung is working just as hard, but at speeds reasonably close to those advertised. Its niggles are that it uses a paper loading flap rather than a tray, and that the output tray is pretty flimsy.



For $50, I have no complaints. That's about what I was paying for ink cartridges for my Canon, and it burned through ink like a teenaged driver through gas.

Our previous Samsung laser printer finally died after 8+ years of service. So, I found this Samsung model for a rock-bottom price and hope that it lasts as long as our first one. It is a great printer that was so easy to set up and get printing. The print speed is amazing for such a small printer. I chose the free shipping option with my purchase, but still received the item in less than a week (over a week ahead of schedule). I highly recommend this printer for everyday home use.

You can't really complain when you spend $50 for a printer. But you can if you're a New Yorker and the printer breaks in 2 weeks. The paper feed no longer feeds paper into the printer. I have tried a number of fixes and nothing works. Just be prepared to get a bum one at $50.

This printer is incredibly inexpensive compared to other models in its class (likely, because Samsung wants you to buy re-filler cartridges, which is fine with me). The printer has a low profile and really does fit easily on any desk. Esthetically is looks fantastic, better than I had anticipated and prints quickly. I work out of my home and was using a canon ink jet printer that was not designed for high printing yields and was costing me a small fortunate in replacement cartridges, this printer has been a great solution.



When I bought this printer I was looking for something cheap and small, it captured both of those requirements, but after owning the printer, I would recommend to anyone looking for a new laser printer for home or office use regardless of budget.



My only complaint: There was no printer cord included and I couldn't find this referenced when I was ordering, I only remember, because I debating buying one on Amazon. Does it seem weird to anyone else that a printer cord isn't included with a printer? Seems like that would be like getting an external hard drive without a USB cord, or iPhone without a cord to plug into your PC or Mac.

Purchased this printer based on other reviews, good price and brand name. This printer is unresponsive after printing less than 10 pages and 7 days of use. Error light illuminates and the remedy in the manual is "contact service representative". Tried printer on 2 different computers. Reset power several times. All other suggestions in manual were followed. Samsung customer support for this is non-existent. Really disappointed with this purchase....

This printer is unbelievably awesome. I'm used to those massive, heavy laser printers. But this little bugger is like a miniature looking microwave with very little wasted space. The little panels fold out and you can close them up if you want.



This is the best purchase I've made this year on electronics. The price is so good and it's laser, so you won't waste your money on ink-catridges every month. It looks like a little black box, it's pretty cool looking, and simple with two buttons, I only use the power button though.



Hold the power button to turn it off, or click it to turn it on. It's so easy. Plug and play in Windows 7, I didn't need the driver CD.



It does NOT come with the USB cord. So you need a USB Cord with the standard rectangle shape, and then the square shape on the end (They are different ends).

If your looking for a working laser printer that prints nice clean pages and don't want to pay a lot this printer is good. The only thing about it is that a new toner cost more than the printer itself, and because its not a very popular printer there aren't any off brands for cheaper that work for this printer. - Inexpensive - Samsung Laser Printer - Monochrome - Samsung'

Kids Furniture - play table and chair set, kids furniture


I was a little nervous after I ordered this product. Because of the price, I was half expecting a balsa wood table and chairs that might get us through the next year or so. After receiving the package, I am exceptionally pleased with the quality. There is no doubt that this set will last a lifetime. The assembly was simple and relatively quick. The instructions and parts were labeled perfectly and left no doubts about what goes where. My only gripe is that, as shown in the picture, you can see the screw heads on the sides of each chair. However, I understand that wooden screw covers would be a choking hazard and let's face it, nobody likes a dead kid. KidKraft Farmhouse Table and Chair Set Espresso

Its heavy and good quality, perfect for my 18 month old son to grow into since his feet don't touch the ground when he sits on the chairs. He came down christmas morning and sat down right as if he has had the table all along. I have purchased the nantucket kids table as a gift before and very satisfied with the purchase and quality. Friend also bought the same farm house table and chairs for her daughter but in color pecan and had no problems with purchase or quality. While assembling ours on Christmas eve, one of the chair back's rest was split as was the cross bar support beam. KidKraft responded to my email right away and told me to expect replacement parts in five to seven days. Since this is the third table purchased as a gift, I am not upset the chair is broken, it happens, and very satisfied on the level of customer service so far. Would purchase from them again! The Quality and service are way too good!

I ordered this for my grandson's second birthday. It's the perfect size and should continue to work for him for several more years. He uses it to do artwork, play with his cars and other toys, and sit and read. It is beautiful, easy to assemble, and sturdy. Although two chairs probably would have been enough, we'll see if there'll be more use for the additional chairs as he gets older and has others over to play. I'm going to order the exact same one to have in my home for his visits.

My 18 month old son really likes his table and it is sturdy enough for him to climb on, push the chairs around and cleans up well. It also looks great in the living room as I was trying to steer away from the bright colored ones for that reason. My only complaint, and it is my fault for not mentally preparing myself for this as I should have known, is that it shows the dings from his adventures too. The wood is soft and so it the dents remain from his play, but from afar you cannot see them. I didn't expect it to look "broken in" so quickly, but as I said before, I should have considered this as my son is quite active and hands on everything.

I bought this table for my 18 month old for Christmas. I received it not even 24 hours after ordering it! It came very well packaged and was super easy to put together. It is very good quality and durable...so far! My little one is receiving it for christmas, so I haven't had her approval yet, but I'm sure she'll love it!

Great job Amazon!

I am really impressed with the quality of this product. It is made of sturdy solid wood and excellent looking. Unlike so many assembly required items, it was easy to put together. The instructions were no problem to follow. The bolts, nuts, screws, and tools came in an oganized vaccum sealed package so there was no mistake about which bolt to use where. I reccommend following the tip on the package to dip bolt ends in dish liquid before attaching. This tip made assembly go smoothly. My grandkids will enjoy using it for years to come!

This is a great little table, I looked for a table for a long time before settling on this one. It was the color that I wanted and it had four chairs, a lot of tables that I looked at only had two chairs, and some of them were more expensive. The table is super easy to put together and very sturdy. My year old daughter loves it, she sits at it all the time. Great value for the money! - Kidkraft - Play Table And Chair Set - Kids Furniture - Children Table Chairs'

Fellowes Sl125 Laminator - office supplies, laminating machines


This purchase was for my wife, who was tired of using the school's laminator. We have used this several times now, and it has worked very well. With laminators costing as much as $600, this is a very good product for the price range. Fellowes Mars 95 Laminator (5215401)

I bought this item for home use and have been very satisfied with it. We home school, and this enables to keep my visuals nice throughout the whole year as well as save them for my other children. I weekly laminate about 6 to 8 sheets and have experienced no problems using this laminating matchine.

I purchased this laminator in February. It's now November and already broken. I used the laminator to laminate magazine articles of interest to me. I don't know what caused it, but today, the third time I ever used the machine, it broke! I think this laminator managed to laminate about 20 - 30 pages before biting the dust. I have unscrewed the machine and am hoping to be able to pry it open to clear the jam, but so far I have been unsuccessful. I tried to download a user manual from the website, but it's unavailable.

I bought this brand new from Amazon. The first sheet (using fellowes own brand) went flawlessly. The 2nd sheet made it half way through, then stopped and could not be retrieved. Unit is defective and cannot be repaired.

This laminater is great for light home use. The feel and quality leads me to think if you used it for heavier use in a small office, or if your hobby required lots of laminating it might not hold up. Switch on top is a flimsy plastic button. That said it works great for the price. - Crafts - Laminating Machines - Home Laminator - Office Supplies'

Usb Flash Drives - patriot, 32gb


I recently purchased the 32 GB Patriot thumb drive and have been very happy with it. I work in video animation and web design and have found the drive to be very fast - even with large size file loads or loads with a large number of files. I've read some other complaints about the load speed of the drive but haven't noticed them myself. Perhaps the people complaining about the load speed weren't using a USB 2.0 port or they were simply being overly scientific about it.



Upon opening the drive from its packaging I inserted it into my USB drive right away and both my Vista machine and my Windows XP machine recognized it immediately. There was no formatting or configuration required. I'm not sure how it would react to a Mac.



My biggest concern with a drive like this is losing the cap. For example, if you put the drive on your keychain and stick it in your pocket the cap will eventually come off of the drive in your pocket, or while you take your keychain out of your pocket, or while the drive hangs from your vehicle's ignition. It's also common, at least for me, to forget where I put the caps. In consideration of a potential future lost cap I emailed the manufacturer's customer service department and asked them for extra caps and I received 2 additional caps about two weeks later free of charge. To me, that's customer service.



Overall the drive seems reasonably rugged. It's encased in rubber so I suspect that's what the manufacturer was going for. I'll modify this post if the drive ever craps out on me but for now I'm very satisfied with it - especially when compared to other thumb drives I've owned. Patriot Xporter XT Boost 32 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive PEF32GUSB

Bottom line: The Patriot Xporter XT Boost 16 GB is a good USB drive but far below the performance I expected. Its tests average slightly below a Class 8 flash drive or 50X.



I will update my review on the cap status in the future since most rubber caps loosen with age and this one is a pocket gripper. I may epoxy a little leash on it to the body.



Reading so many of these reviews does not help in purchase decisions. Frankly, they drive me nuts. "It was so fast!" "It was so much faster than my old drive!" "Some people are too scientific." "It booted immediately on my Windows... (version)/Mac [computer]." (Please do not take any of these comments as personal attacks on your reviews. I have been hammered in past professional writing to ensure I provide hard, substantive data for any statement I make.)



Can I please have objective data to assist in my purchase decision? The first thing I do is benchmark when I receive a flash drive or flash card. I have returned fakes, counterfeits, and below spec units. Formatting new drives appropriately upon receipt is a smart decision, since it removes any crapware from the manufacturer and any viruses a disgruntled employee could have placed. (Does anyone remember the WordPerfect employee who knew he was going to be fired back around 1990?) Although not a Mac user. I use flash drives for Windows Vista/7 and Linux OS purposes.



Flash "class" is based on write speed. I have included a conversion table toward the end of my review. I am sorry I forgot to specify sequential write testing for my benchmarks. To increase accuracy and reduce extraneous hardware reductions in test results, I do not use USB extension cables and clean format the flash for each test.
