Original HP 15 Black Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging

Saturday, October 31st, 2009


Hi,

In your printer profile, select preferences, then
select draft mode, this saves a lot of ink.
next click Black & White (instead of Color),
this saves you more money.

rename the printer by adding B&W to the name,
ie HP 890C B&W. Use this as your default printer.

add a second printer using the same model you have now.
You now have two logical printers but only one physical printer.
Rename it HP 890 Color for example.

When you need color for the kids reports or greeting cards,
send the print to the color printer, otherwise send to B&W printer.

You can do this with any printer, even at your office to
save on toner if it is a laser.

Regards,

James

HP inkjet black cartridge
It was cheaper to get this cartridge shipped from Amazon (.94) to my home than to go to the local Walgreens and fill the cartridge for +tax. Amazing! And it works great - in fact better than the original cartridge I had in there before.


Have not used it yet
I received this cartridge very quickly, but I haven't used it yet, so I can't really comment on the quality.


Great price, great product
Great price, great original product and got in the time wanted.
I recommend it.

SIRIUS SCC1 Connect Universal Tuner

SIRIUS SCC1 Connect Universal Tuner


After years of using a portable universal tuner through either the FM tuner or aux. jack on my stereo, I finally decided it was time to upgrade my stereo head unit so I could integrate all my "attachments". I've been using the Sirius SCC1 with my Alpine CDA-9886 for about 5 months now, and I've been extremely pleased with it. The Sirius SCC1 works GREAT with the head unit and causes no issues with the other peripherals attached to it (I've also got the bluetooth module (KCA 200BT) and iPod cable). The sound quality is excellent--far better than it was using the portable unit through the auxillary input. One of the features I appreciated most about my portable unit was the ability to mark favorite songs or bands and be notified when they're being broadcast on any channel. This unit maintains that ability, although I do miss the option of having the notification beep through the speakers; instead the notification is visual on the face of the head unit, so if you're not looking at the head unit, you can easily miss it. (I haven't read through all the instructions though, so this isn't to say that the beep option doesn't exist).

Don't forget that with this unit, you will need the Sirius adaptor that is specific to your head unit. This is the TUNER itself, NOT the adaptor. YOU MUST HAVE BOTH in order for it to work (mine is paired with the KCA-SC100). All in all I've found the SCC1 to be a great value. Installation was SUPER easy for me (I installed it myself in about 20 minutes), the sound quality is great, and the convenience and cleanness of keeping everything integrated through the head unit makes it a great product.

Works perfect with my in dash DVD
I bought a 7" in dash DVD receiver for my truck. Unfortunately, I had to use this Sirius Tuner rather than the stock one embedded behind the glove box of my Ford. It's unfortunate that I had to buy this, but it works perfect.


Great Product
Install was easy. Works great with my stock Camery XLE radio. My radio has 18 SAT presets available Sat 1,2 and 3 six on each. Setting the presets is the same as the radio stations. The only thing I don't like is that I can't use the button on the steering wheel to flip forward or backward through the SAT presets like I can on the Radio. But I think that is a Radio issue not this SAT box issue so I give this a 5 star rating it works great!

This is a good product to listen the satelite radio it works really good remember that you always need the interface for this product to work

Samsung UN40B7000 40-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV

Saturday, October 31st, 2009


Samsung UN40B7000 40-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV


I'd been hearing about the upcoming Samsung 9000 series, with the wireless "media box" and the full localized LED backlighting (this one uses edge-based LED lighting). I kept waiting on it to come out, but it was delayed repeatedly, and I finally decided to go with this one (assuming that when the 9000 came out, I'd move this one to my bedroom).

Well, let's just say I feel no desire to "upgrade" my living room TV now. This set is BEAUTIFUL... even though it's not "localized LED backlit" I've still got so much black-to-white contrast, compared to any set I've ever seen before, that I can't imagine, right now, that I'd be able to see the difference on a better set. If I can't tell the difference between a device and the "better" version... as far as I'm concerned, there IS no difference.

This set is part of a complete "home theater" setup, including a full 7.1 speaker system (two original-release Bose 301 speakers, a set of Klipsch Quintet IIIs, and a Polk PSW505 12" subwoofer), a Pioneer 1019 receiver, a home theater PC, plus a full range of sources (turntable, cassette, VCR, DVD-changer, Archos 5 internet media tablet, cable-company DVR, and blu-ray player).

If I had a much larger living room, I might want a LARGER set, but as far as the picture quality, I'm just amazed. Note that everything I watch on this set (in High-definition, at least) comes in through the receiver, and I'm sure that contributes some elements to the overall picture characteristics... but I've never seen a better picture anywhere.

The sound quality from the built-in speakers is better than "fine" but obviously not truly hi-fidelity. The feature set is very complete (though I think I need to upgrade my "wireless G" uplink point to a "wireless N" uplink point so that I can watch movies from online... you need a FAST connection for this to work, though all the rest of the internet-ish features work flawlessly on my "wireless G" connection).

Note that if you want the "internet" features, you'll either need to connect a network cable to it, or do as I have and go wireless. If you go wireless, you have only one choice... Samsung's PROPRIETARY "usb dongle." That's the one criticism of this set I can really make.

As far as the set's cosmetics... I would have preferred it to be provided without the "touch of color" bezel, and instead just be the functional monitor (which would actually be a bit smaller overall). But I'm a guy, I couldn't care less about the appearance (provide it doesn't have "Hello Kitty" on it or something!). I care about how it works... and it works magnificently. I got it here because it was VERY affordable here... that's what keeps me coming back to Amazon (instead of shopping at my local Best Buy or whatever). Mind you, I'd gladly patronize my local shop, if they had the stock, and the prices, you get here.

But let's just say... I've decided to buy the smaller version (32", 6000 series) to go into my bedroom now, and I bought that from Amazon as well. It's hard to beat the service you get here!

Everything is great....except.....
For some reason the DLNA is not fully functional. While the some videos play fine on USB stick, the same videos will not play from the DLNA home server. Other movies on the home server play fine. I've notified their tech and I am supposed to hear back from their level 2 tech soon...like two weeks ago....still no resolution.

First thing I checked was stuck/dead pixels....TG all pixels work fine. The menu system is really slow and a bit cumbersome. The picture quality which is the heart and soul of a TV is great...hence the four stars...but not a perfect product yet...needs more firmware refinement...and I wait.

Would I recommend this? I recommend you wait and see if they get the DLNA fixed...otherwise pass...


stuck with a bad decesion
don't waste your money on the accessories {WIS09ABGN} WIRELESS LAN ADAPTOR it's a total waste video streaming, there customer service is average nothing spectacular.
I'VE had a technician out to the house already with no resolve he called samsung support an immeadiately they want to blame the enduser.so if you want to stream you might try to use a cable because the SAMSUNG PC manager has issues and they will not address them.I called ther customer support again so a high level support person was supposed to get in touch with me WITHIN 2 DAYS that was 4or 5days ago now i,m getting mad, hey if the price is right go for it but this is the honest truth


Amazing picture, but I can't stand this TV
I just got this TV a few days ago, and it is absolutely driving me nuts. While the picture clarity is amazing (may be the best I've ever seen) it has one issue I just can't get over (especially noticeable while watching movies). It makes images "pop out" like 3D, but has a cookie cutter 2D look. Good movies suddenly look "cheesy" like a B movie. I turned down the backlight setting and changed the picture mode to the movie setting which helped a bit, but it was still terrible. Another smaller issue is that it blurrs from time to time on fast action scenes. The sound quality isn't very good either, so if you buy this TV, make sure you have a good sound system. My husband found the TV bothered his eyes, but I did not experience any eye fatigue. Although I hated this TV, I still gave it 3 stars because of the amazing picture. I will be returning this set and will either try a standard LCD, or hopefully fix my Samsung DLP(which I love). A big plus is the LED tv's are extremely energy efficient(which was one of the reasons I chose to buy it). I will definitely consider buying one down the road if they are able to fix the "cookie cutter" look on future models. If it weren't for this serious flaw, I would love this TV.


Astounding TV
I believe that this Samsung 40 inch LED HDTV should not even be called a TV. It's so much more, and the amazing picture is unlike anything I've ever seen on a mere TV. Add to it the ability to access the intermet (YouTube, Blockbuster, etc), and you have a multi-function visual experience in the guise of a 'TV set." Once I updated the encryption method on my wireless router, the hook-up was a snap. You must use WPA. WEP won't cut it. Viewing a Blu-Ray disc is an amazing experience. Everything is unbelievably clear. Even watching a classic b&w movie on TCM is an almost 3-d experience. Well worth the investment!!!

Imax Power IMP500 3G 3Gs iPhone & 2nd Generation iTouch External Backup Battery

Imax Power IMP500 3G 3Gs iPhone & 3rd Generation iTouch & all generations ipod External Backup Battery 5500mAh


In my opinion believe all the positive reviews, BUT be aware that it does not come with the AC adapter charger when ordered through Amazon. If you go to the IMAXPOWER website, the same item is availble for only .95 with free shipping and no tax (at least for my state). Plus, it includes the AC adapter charger!

Seems like a no brainer to order from the IMAXPOWER website when you get more for less, plus you can pay by credit card or PayPal.

I still love Amazon though.

Great Product, but check the description carefully.
This is a great product and keeps my iPod charged for days (I am a heavy user. 8-10 hours of music + 2-3 hours of app usage/day.)
Check the description carefully. The description of this product states this is a 5500mAh capacity. The company does not stock a 5500mAh capacity battery - only the 5000mAh. The prices are the same (for now) for both styles, but I thought I was getting the 5500mAh only to find out it doesn't exist.


Travel Use
I purchased this to use while on travel. No more searching for electrical outlets to charge my iphone 3GS! I was able to watch multiple movies with no more worries about running out of juice. Excellent product. Would highly recommend.


Does the job
This thing works like a champ, i actually never run out of battery while using it for watching movies and gaming. It's easy to use, the design is simple, the only thing i didn't like - it's a bit bulky, i wish it was a little smaller... I like the retractable cord feature a lot though, it's very useful on the plane- you can extend the cord between the device and the iphone as much as you need to. Overall very happy.

Garmin Suction cup mount


we seem to lose the suction cup and have had to replace it a couple of time(leaving it in rental cars, falling out of brief cases, etc) So that is our biggest problem. This suction cup stays on the windshield very well, and is easy to release it from there. The product does what it is supposed to do- mount the Garmin.

Best buy
Exactly OEM mount for a good price. I pull the original one off the windshield on a very hot day. It left part of the suction cup on the windshield. Recommended.


USPS sucks
Great product but was not packaged properly. Imagine buying a box of lemon heads opening the box to find one lemon head with a lot of packing filler. Well I had to go pickup from post office because the big box wouldnt fit the mailbox slot on my steel storm door (idiot).


Suction cup mount
Ok,
Reached on time. This was basically for my friend as i had lost his original one :(

Some Garmin sellers in the USA charge for this $.25 item made in China. This worked perfectly with all my Garmin GPS units.

Mobile Edge Mini Messenger Bag Black/Silver great for Netbooks

Saturday, October 31st, 2009


Mobile Edge Mini Messenger Bag Black/Silver


After reading the reviews and checking out all the options I could find I decided this bag best suited my needs. I have been a computer tech for the past 12 years and hate hauling around more than I need. I have web sites that I run as well as doing your average home office and IT consulting work. I wanted a bag to replace my backpack and I wanted it to be able to carry two laptops if I wanted to work on websites while I was using my other system to clone a drive or be able to switch from Mac to PC. I don't normally need two laptops but I wanted the option to carry both. The main compartment is split in two with my MacBook in front and my 11.6" Toshiba netbook in the rear. The MacBook will only easily fit in the front of the main compartment and it does not strap in but is snug enough that you don't worry about it. If you have a typical Blackberry phone you will need to use the small front pouch as the side phone pouch only holds a standard size mobile phone well. I still have my backpack in the trunk with all the stuff I used to haul around but I only carry this small bag into most of the locations I go to. If you are a big city dweller using public transportation or bicycle this bag would be ideal. Please read the other reviews for details on info how the other pockets work. For myself I found them well designed for everything I need to have on site 90% of the time. What I am also finding out that keeping both laptops together allows for easy charging of both at night side by side. For someone who wants to carry just one laptop please take into consideration that you lose book and magazine space with this bag but I can easily carry an average sized book, newspaper or magazine (sometimes folded) and my netbook.

A little big for Netbook Mini(s)
There is no doubt that this is a very nice bag. It appears to be good quality. However, it is a bit large for a 10.5" netbook. Keep that in mind if you are looking for something small to carry your netbook in. However because it is a messanger bag it would probably work well to carry the netbook and accessaries as well as your Kindle, iPod and probably a wallet.


This bag is awesome.
I wanted a better and safer way to carry my Kindle DX. The padded cover was simply not enough protection. My first DX was damaged while inside the tight fitting zipper case. I drop the Kindle DX inside this mini-messenger and I don't worry.

The other benefit is that all of my Kindle accessories, my cell phone, and sunglasses and lots of other personal stuff can be carried as well. This bag was the perfect choice for my Kindle DX.


I love this Messenger Bag
I love this bag. It is compact yet has room for my net book and all the accessories to carry with it. It's just what I was looking for to travel.

Mobile Edge Ultraportable Briefcase for 8.9-Inch to 13-Inch Netbook Computers (Black)

Saturday, October 31st, 2009


I found I was carrying a briefcase that was too big and heavy and my back and shoulder were sore. I commute on trains so it was a hassle. I searched under 'small briefcases' but found nothing then I had a eureka moment - I recently purchased a netbook and was thinking of a case - and looked under netbook cases and saw this and purchased it. Almost a year later, it is still going strong. My netbook is only for home use and I use this as my office briefcase and my back and shoulder are relieved! It is compact but inside space is big enough to fit an Ikea catalog inside before it gets too bulky. The front pocket carries my eyeglass case and closes with a velcor strip. After about a year the velcro strip for the front pocket became less 'sticky' but it still closed fine but I am paranoid on crowded trains so I had the idea to add a button to secure it. The front flap for this pocket has a loop handle and I took it to a seamstress and she sewed in a metal botton that matched the case and that fits into the loop. Case front pocket super secured.

great bag, completely satisfied
I don't normally write reviews, but I was very satisfied with this product. It's got lots of places to stash goodies inside. I've got a Lenovo S10-3T netbook, USB hard drive, Samsung portable DVD burner with about 10 blank discs in sleeves, wireless mouse, a pair of Sennheiser HD 238 headphones, USB hub, and all necessary cables/power supply etc. in this thing. But, I was STILL able to get 2 magazines in it. I was also able to cram a hard cover book I bought in the airport in the side pocket on the back. The shoulder strap is soft and comfortable and the carry handles have thick rubber. The cost is about -15 more than I wanted to pay, but worth every nickel. It's by far the best laptop bag I've ever had. Highly recommended.


nice little bag
nice size bag for a hp mini 110. able to leave the battery on the computer. a lot of room for magazines and perhaps a small book/bible. you can also add your mouse, ipod or whatever and still have some room left over. it's not the prettiest thing, but it does the job. shoulder strap is great.


Mobile Edge Review
The Mobile Edge briefcase is a sturdy sleek way the carry your prized notebook or small personal computer. Be aware that it won't handle the larger screen devices. It fits an IBM Thinkpad t60 perfectly. The external pocket is roomy, and provides ample space for your power cord or other items (mine carries keys, earbuds, and other off hand items.) The zippered enclosure is spacious providing room for additional items (a sandwich for lunch). It is well constructed with rubber handles, and a non slip rubber padded "stretchable" shoulder strap. I would highly recommend this item for those that need a low profile carry for their small laptop or notebook.


Exactly What I Needed and Wanted
Well made, durable, and fits all my needs to a tee. If you need a grab and go for your netbook, you can't do better.

Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 (Blue)

Saturday, October 31st, 2009


Pros: The quality of the picture of the camera is very good. The camera's software and compatibility with other software is easy and straight forward. The installation was simple as well.

Cons: Attaching it to your computer is a little bit of a hassle, but once you get it where you want it, it has been fine.

Note: You need to install the software first before you ever plug the camera in or there will be problems, which is posted all over the instructions. This is only a problem for people who don't read the instructions.

Awsome
Awesome product. great picture quality. would buy. for the price i am just loving it. takes good photos records videos


Great WebCam for the PRICE !!!
No problems at all, easy install, a GREAT little webcam.

Purchased based on other reviews, and agree with the other positive reviews.

This little webcam can't be beat for the price.

I purchased two (2), Green and Blue, both are working GREAT !!!


Quite a nice camera
It's my first webcam and I bought it for staying in contact with my family.
Handling is quite easy but I do not like the Microsoft-Software - I use it with Skype.
Voice-transmitting is quite well but sometimes the videostream is not as I expected. But I think thats a matter of my broadband-company or something else.
Actually I was astonished about the good video on my laptop -> thumbs up!
I recommended it to my family and they bought the same :)


microsoft lifecam review
i was expecting it to be easy to use and install. For me it wasnt. But im not good with computers. It was supposed to contain a programming disk, but it didnt. You have to go to some hard to find website link. My experience wasnt good. It all depends on user savvy.
