Nice flash drive
Not much to say here except that it works right out of the box. No software installation necessary. Small in size and does just what you think a flash drive should do.


Always a good buy
Own a half dozen of these. Easy to use. Dependable. Reasonable price. I have purchased other brands for more money and have been less satisfied.


GOOD Buy
Flash Drive you receive differs slightly from the photo they display. Also, when you go into the USB's properties, it shows that it's really 7.44 GB, NOT 8.0 GB. Other then that, it's a good buy.


Works Great but, needs power
Pros: Fast & Easy
Cons Cap easy to lose
Needs power, overloads usb1 port buts works great on usb2

D-Link DAP1522 Xtreme 4-Port GigaBit Selectable Dual Band Draft 802.11n N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point

Thursday, December 31st, 2009


I have been running a DLink 614+ 802.11b router/access point for years, and finally decided I wanted better wireless performance. But I did not want to have to setup all the MAC filtering and port forwarding that works so well on the 614+, so I decided to try this little box in Access Point mode to just improve the wireless while keeping the 614+. Well, that was easy! Plugged it into a free ethernet port on my living room switch box and went to [...] and about two minutes later I had a wireless N network. Actually ran both wireless AP's for a while, one on channel 1 and the other on channel 11. Though both were on 2.4, they did not interfere with each other! Finally pulled the plug on the wireless on the 614+, and everything is working fine. Better speed, better range, security upgraded from 64bit WEP to WPA-AES, and a couple of extra ethernet ports if I need them. Very pleased.

Works better than advertized
I needed to bridge my wifi to a room in the house to provide ethernet connectivity there for a laptop, and two separate IP phones. I was concerned since the DAP-1522 is marketed towards connecting up an entertainment center. I figured IP is IP so it should work. I flipped the switch to bridge-mode, plugged in the devices, and set up the WIFI part to connect to my home WIFI router. It worked the first time. That is a FIRST! Make sure MAC cloning is enabled (I think it defaulted that way).

On the downside: signal reception was not as strong as expected. Seems like an external antenna would be a good design improvement. I had to put it out in the clear to get 75%, and that's just 3 walls (drywall) the signal had to go through. The laptop receives better.

I definitely would recommend for bridging ethernet LAN across WIFI.


Excellent way to connect multiple wired computer to wireless
Having several older computers that use wireless b or g, this allowed me to connect them to a wireless router on a different floor with no problem. I can now watch netflix movies with no buffering on a computer that using its wireless g re-buffered many times. Also my VPN connection is much more stable across the wired port of my work work computer.


I love this product !
I have tested many products with no success, and I dont care how much any product costs as long as the product works, and lives up to it's advertised features. This worked for me, and I am buying 4 more. I love it ! !


Plugged it in, and it worked
I'm fairly experienced with Home Networking so my experience may not hold true for all.

I set it to Auto, plugged it into a Cat5e network jack linked to my existing router and had another wireless network setup. The signal strength is 5 bars through a drywall ceiling and a wood floor.

I had to tweak a few settings and setup the WPA2 security but total time of setup was less than 30 minutes.

I have had to power cycle it like I did my old one (a Belkin) and it has been going for a month.

Worked good
I used this to test an Xbox 360 but it had a red light of death. Power supply worked fine. Just watch out because it's literally the size of a brick, the center piece.


Great service
good service really quick response when you need to change something on your order thats what i need.


It works...
...which is all I needed it to do. I sent it overseas to Afghanistan and there have been no complaints so far. It is being used with the latest version of the XBOX 360 that uses the 175 watt adapter.

Sony MDREX38iP/BLK EX Earbud with iPod Remote Control (Black)

Thursday, December 31st, 2009


Sony MDREX38iP/BLK EX Earbud with iPod Remote Control (Black)


These Sony headphones are exactly what I wanted for my iPhone 4. The stock apple headphones are fine but these in-the-ear buds isolate sound well and help you tune out background noise (great for the nyc subway). I also must mention that these ear buds are SIGNIFICANTLY better than the competing (and significantly more expensive) Apple in-the-ear buds. I had the Apple ones for a little while and the audio quality was awful--almost no discernible bass--and I returned them.

As for these Sony ear buds, the microphone and remote work great. I usually stick my iPhone in my pocket or in a side pocket in my bag and I hate having to pull out my phone to adjust the volume or change tracks (especially since pulling it out means potentially dropping it which means most likely cracking it). I'm kind of impatient and ADD when it comes to music, so I'm always flipping songs around. Having the ability to pause, skip ahead and skip back without having to dig it out is great. It's also nice to be able to answer calls with one click or activate voice control by holding the center click on the remote.

The sound quality is great, not the best in the world but good enough for a casual audiophile. Bass and treble are in check.

They are also pretty durable. I'm kind of clumsy and I frequently end up catching the cord on things or snapping them out with an accidental arm swipe. I did have to replace my first pair after a year (I used it with my iPod touch before I got an iPhone [which, by the way, these headphones work with skype on the touch]) when the microphone broke but otherwise the audio and the remote were still working fine. Also, some other Sony headphone used to be made with this really crappy plastic cord that would come apart, these do not seem to have that problem.

Great Economic Earbuds
Purchased these to replace my iPod earbuds because the remote on them started going wonky. These work great. A few things to note, because they are "in the canal" buds there is a bit of cord noise when listening at low volumes. Also, the remote is on the opposite ear than the Apple headset, so a little confusing at the start. Would definitely purchase again.


Great sound; comfortable; remote works with 5th gen. iPod nano
After losing these Sony earbuds (which offer an excellent mix of price, comfort and sound quality) during a business trip, it was off to a famous big box store in hope of finding the same model in stock.

No such luck, of course. But: this product was the one most similar, with the added function of a remote volume control (which sits just below the right ear). Even though the packaging indicated the remote was compatible only through 3rd generation iPods, it worked just fine with my 5th generation iPod nano 8 GB .

Sound quality is excellent, the remote works well and it comes with three different sizes of silicone ear inserts.


Perfect!!!
If you're looking for earbuds that provide good insolation and comfort buy these. They don't fall out your ears when wearing them or if you're moving around. Outside noises won't be heard if your using these earbuds at any time. The mic works good as well.The bass is very powerful for such small earbuds!! If you purchase these earbuds you will be glad you picked these!!!


MIC doesn't work with android!
i bought these for use with HTC ERIS for phone calls, but the mic doesn't work not to mention the volume control won't work for android as well.
make sure you read if the product can work with iphone too, or only with iphone. this one is iphone only!
i replaced them with iHarmonix set, works great.

Nikon 7238 Action Ex Extreme 8 X 40 mm All Terrain Binoculars

Thursday, December 31st, 2009


Nikon 7238 Action Ex Extreme 8 X 40 mm All Terrain Binoculars


I bought this from B&H because they had the best price and they were giving a twenty-five dollar gift card with the purchase. These binoculars look and feel great. They are well-made and I like the rubber gripping. These have a wider FOV than most binoculars which was one of the main reasons for buying these. I would buy these over the regular action series because these are water and fog proof.

The optics are pretty sharp and the colors are nice and saturated. I had a cheaper pair of binoculars and the images always looked "cloudy."

I like the twistable (is that a word?) eyecups which are better than the fold back eyecups. I wear eyeglasses and I can see perfectly through these with my glasses on. So if you wear eyeglasses make sure you pay attention to the eye relief of the binoculars. These have excellent eye relief.

The only drawback I have is that these are no lightweights. They are sturdy and as a result they are a little heavy. To remedy this problem, I purchased a OP-TECH USA 2" strap which is designed to reduce the effectual weight of what you are carrying by about 50%. I thought this was a bogus claim but it really does work --they really do feel lighter when around your neck. The weight thing is not really a big issue unless the weight of the item is one of the main reasons for your purchase --it wasn't for me.

It comes with a nice case and front and rear caps and a cheap, itchy Nikon strap. I already lost one of the cheap snap on objective caps already so I encourage you just to keep those in the box as you will probably lose them if you take them out with you as they tend to fall off and they can get lost easily.

I am very happy with this purchase. The binoculars really feel and look like they are 2x the price. The images are nice and sharp and the colors are excellent. 8x with a wide FOV = pain free viewing. I highly recommend them.
