Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless G Router The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. Once your computers are connected to the Router and the Internet, they can communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. And your computers can share all kinds of files -- music, digital pictures, and documents. Keep all your digital music on one computer, and listen to it anywhere in the house. Organize all of your family's digital pictures in one place, to simplify finding the ones you want, and easing backup to CD-R. Utilize extra free space on one computer when another's hard drive starts to fill up. The new Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature makes it easy to configure your wireless devices. Just push the button on the router and on your other Wi-Fi Protected Setup-enabled wireless device to automatically create a WPA2 connection that protects your data and priva

Awakening the Power of A Modern God
Awakening the Power of a Modern God
This was another incredible book/CD by Gregg. I've listen to the CD set five times! It explores the ancient practice of understanding the "mirrors" in our lives. How all the coincidences and little things in life are reflecting a much bigger picture to each and everyone of us. I am a Christian and while I don't much care for his references to Thoth (occultist from the Emerald Tablets fame), everything else I could readily see as truth. Greg is an excellent speaker/writer. He repeats just enough to get the concepts into your head without being a bore. He interjects a few personal stories which help drive home his points in a practical way. Thank you, Greg for another great effort!

Logitech Z-5500 THX-Certified 505-Watt 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Speaker System
For those who are hard pressed to find a 5.1 Digital system for their Powermacs and Mac Pro Towers without the use of sound cards, this is the only system to get because of 1 feature this baby has-AUDIO OPTICAL DIGITAL INPUT. This is the saving grace for the G5 and believe me, I was hard pressed to find an audio card that I can have so I can enjoy what the PC people have. Yes, M-AUDIO has their Revolution 5.1 and 7.1 for those who want to enjoy some entertainment, but M-Audio is slow in making drivers for the current MAC OS X. With the Logitech Z-5500,you don't need it. This is also the best investment in the event you want to upgrade to a new MAC G5 without the use of an audio card that may be outdated for any future systems. So long as MAC keeps making OPTICAL inputs/outputs in future systems, this will be the system worth spending for.
On top of the Logitech Z-5500 being versatile for both systems (which is an intelligent move for Logitech), OPTICAL DIGITAL gives the cleanest sound available for your system and the fun part is that you only need one connection to your MAC. You know what they say, "less is more" and the less fuss you need to connect the better. Outside of the sub-woofer being almost the size of a mini-fridge, it gives bass that most music lovers, particularly for the Hip-Hop, House Music, and Techno fans.
If your not an audio pro but want something near what the pro's use, invest in the Logitech Z-5500. It's worth it.

You walk into a Starbucks. Order your latte. While you wait, you hear a song wafting from the loudspeakers. You love it. So you get out your iPod touch and buy it over Wi-Fi. Just like that. The iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch tells you what's playing in select Starbucks and lets you buy it along with other featured Starbucks content. So you can sip, shop, and listen.

Best iPod and PDA4
This is such an advanced product, one spending this much definitely needs to look into what they are getting.
This is more than an iPod, it is also a PDA. Being able to manage emails, calender, tasks, notes, stocks, maps, etc. puts this above any other iPod.
I love my iPod Touch, and all the features on it are great if you use them. I sync this with Outlook and it works perfect. I have Outlook also synced to my BB, so whichever device I'm using, I will always have my calender and contacts on me.
The quality of the screen is at a beautiful resolution. Going through artwork, looking through songs, browsing the net, looking at the calender is fun. The touch screen is what make this phone so powerful.
Having WiFi is perfect, and makes this very powerful device when you're in a WiFi area (if you can get a connection).
Managing emails great with this device, as it displays all emails beautifully.
The iPod Touch is basically the iPhone without the phone, camera, and speakers.
Some of the negatives are:
- I wish it had speakers
- I use high end head phones and wish the sound quality was better.
- The hissing noise is still there.
- Better battery life is always good, but the product is good as it is.
I recommend this product to anyone and everything since it is not only a music player. 32GB is not necessary for all people, but it's only $100.00 more! If you're going with the 16GB because it's cheaper, you should just go refurbished to save more money.
Thank you!
I-Touch is Great5
We are extremely happy with our I-Touch. The music sound quality is great and we can carry a multitude of family and vacation pictures with us. We have an IMAC computer and when we sinc our I-Touch, it automatically updates our calendar and address book. This is a wonderful way to have your calendar with you at all times. I would like to see Apple do a better job of offering dock options for the I-Touch that would give S-vidio connections and stero connections to play my I-Touch through my home stereo system and watch movies that have been downloaded to my I-Touch on the big screen. The problem isn't the I-Touch it is the availability of truly compatible accessories.
IPOD 32GB4
One big problem with this device, i changed after several years from Sony to IPOD to find that the storage capacity is reduced by around half. ATRAC (now defunct) allowed a stupendous amount of music on the Sony device at decent quality. Pain of a PC Program as it had, it was bearable, just.
The IPOD Touch at 32Gb cant hold even half as much as an old HD5 even if the operating system on the touch is a dream come true. I used to have my entire collection on hand and on the move.
Bottom line, i can feel good having the latest device but cant walk with my head held high knowing that the music in my pocket is drastically edited from my collection.
If Apple were to swallow their pride and adopt the ATRAC format, you wouldnt have wasted your time reading this review.

Fantastic Picture5
I first bought the Samsung LNT4665F and was fairly pleased with it. I decided to return it when I saw the newer model LN4A550P has better specs and it was cheaper. In fact, the price has dropped almost $100 since I ordered it 8 days ago. (You can call customer service for refunds for 30 days but check the details on refunds).
[...]
Ignoring technical stuff, this TV is fantastic. The picture is outstanding especially for the HD shows. The non-glossy screen is also a big improvement. Even the sound quality is better. I watch sports and the picture quality is so much clearer with no shadows. By far, this is the better TV, for less money.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
The delivery company was great - both TVs were delivered a few days after ordering.
Samsung LN46A550 - Best TV - Great picture & easy to setup5
Samsung LN46A550P 46-inch 1080p LCD HDTV
This is a GREAT TV!! I've never ordered a large item like this "Online", but the price was great $1600 and I figured (it's Amazon) so try it. The merchant was Electronics Expo and they shipped it right to my door exactly as promised. I initially sent them an email asking for them to confirm my order...no reply. I was a little concerned, but it was just the first day of their estimated delivery window. Two days later, the shipping company called and they arranged delivery, exactly as promised. I thought..this is too good to be true (great price, great TV, no sales tax, free shipping).
I bought this TV to replace a Sharp 45 LCD because the picture appears very "washed out" when viewed from the sides. This Samsung TV's picture is crisp and clear from ANY angle. Also, it took me all of 4-5 minutes from the time I cut the straps on the box until I was actually watching HDTV. This TV comes entirely setup (already on the stand) and ready to plug-in to your HDMI. I never adjusted a thing...it was perfect right out of the box!!! I had always heard that Samsung was the BEST in LCDs...now I am a believer. This is a real HIGH-END TV at a middle-low end price. Trust me, I did hours and hours of research and Google searches. Stop looking and wasting your time...this is the DEAL. I am going back for the 52" 550 Series next week for the Family room.
Great picture5
I first bought a Samsung 4665 46 inch. At home i was not happy with the picture quality of that TV. It had shadows and was grainy.I got LN46A500P after returning the 4665 because I found the picture quality to be not only better than the 4665 but beats most of the other TVs out there(even the higher end ones). One of the salesman told me that Samsung eliminated the shadows and other defects in 4665 in this model. I would recommend this one to anyone looking for a great picture experience and doesnt want to spend a fortune to get that.

Using some local Wi-Fi networks (if Wi-Fi is turned on), iPod touch finds your approximate location and gives directions from there. Mark specific locations, find the best route between them, and search for points of interest along the way. With a hybrid map and satellite view, you can see major street names on top of satellite images.
Widgets
Widgets are small, incredibly handy applications you can use every day. Three of the most useful widgets now live front and center on your Home screen:
Weather
Get a five-day weather forecast, including highs and lows, for cities around the world. Save your favorite locations so you can check the weather anytime.
Notes
Take notes, make a to-do list, or jot down a reminder using the easy-to-use touch keypad. Then save or email them.
Stocks
Check your stocks and track the market over one day, one week, one month, three months, six months, one year, or two years.
High Technology
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone, the most advanced software ever engineered, and state-of-the-art technology. With the multi-touch display, you can control everything using only your fingers. If you rotate your iPod touch from portrait to landscape, the accelerometer automatically changes the way the content is displayed. And with wireless technology, you can connect to the Internet from any Wi-Fi network, anywhere you are.
Multi-touch
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone. Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5-inch display, the multi-touch interface lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page. And iPod touch features a touchscreen QWERTY keyboard perfect for browsing the web in Safari, getting directions on a map, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, or adding new contacts.
Ambient Light Sensor
The iPod touch display has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness to suit the ambient light in your surroundings. The result? A better experience for you and battery-saving efficiency for iPod touch.
Wireless
Connect to the Internet anywhere there's a Wi-Fi network. Send email from a coffee shop. Surf the web at the airport. Browse, buy, and download music from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store at select Starbucks locations or other wireless hot spots in your area. iPod touch finds wireless networks and connects you to the Internet.
Accelerometer
An accelerometer detects when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page, your music in Cover Flow, or a photo in its proper aspect ratio.
What's in the Box:
8 GB iPod touch, earphones, USB 2.0 cable, dock adapter, polishing cloth, stand, quick start guide.
Customer Reviews
Lovely 5
I received my iPod Touch as a gift last month. It has replaced my old Mini iPod, which I had been using since 2005. Considering the fact that the Mini and the Touch were purchased for about the same amount of money, I think the purchase was definitely worth every penny this time around.
Here are a few reasons why I love my new iPod Touch! Yes, I've only had it for a short while, but I think it's fair to say that I've had fair experienced with iPods and the iTunes interface.
1. Style
First off, the Touch is beautiful! It's definitely very sleek and easy to slide into my bag or even pocket (although it usually does end up in there). It's slim and has a simple design: on/off botton and one main button that controls back switches. I'd say that size is just fine--my hands are small but that size doesn't provide any discomfort.
2. Functionality
The iPod Touch offers loads of functionality! At this point I think you've familiarized yourself with the iPod's functions. In addition to streaming music and videos, you've got a lot of other features not offered on any other iPod, with the exception of the iPhone. There are weather, stock, email, and map "widgets" as well as Safari Browser, YouTube, and iTunes "links." Just get yourself connected at a Wi-Fi hotspot (which may even be your home!) and you're able to browse and surf the net like that! Having those features in one package is so convenient! The iPod, however, cannot replace the full functionality of a Mac or PC, but you're able to have several resources at your fingertips--literally!
3. Ease of Use
The Touch is super easy to use. You simply, when, touch your way through all the fuctions and music. Flipping through the album covers is a nice feature, as well as the design of the main screen. You can place your icons wherever you'd like, and not be confined to placing certain icons in only certain places. iTunes is also a breeze to use, and even if you're not familiar with it, learning to use iTunes is a simple process!
4. Value
You're definitely buying into a lasting piece of equipment with this iPod. Granted, Apple puts out new stuff all the time, but considering what the Touch offers at this point, nothing will get old too soon. Simply put, the iPod Touch has definite longevity.
5. Versatility
With all the different features available on the Touch, the iPod has evolved into a product of grand versatility. You have the ultimate multimedia machine in your pocket, which can perform a bevy of other fuctions as well. With the Touch, you can browse the internet, search through YouTube, find directions, watch movies (on beautiful widescreen) or simply, listen through your music library.
Overall, I'm glad I received the Touch as a gift. It's a lot of fun to use..I couldn't have asked for a nicer, or lovelier, present!
GREAT Product but a few comments4
I was not very quick to jump on the ipod touch band-wagon but now I am glad I have. This fine piece of computer technology has made my life easier and has filled many time gaps I have in between class (or sometimes while in class). The ipod touch is great for:
1. People who are, on a daily basis, near a wi-fi signal
2. People who get e-mails throughout the day
3. Those who want to surf the internet at any point and time without the use of a cell phone company or hauling around a large laptop
I have had this device for about two weeks now and there are really no problems (knock on wood) just a few suggestions
1. Steve Jobs, you are a billionaire, so why charge $20 for a software upgrade? also, why have you put a chokehold on AV cords made for the touch. So far, if you want to watch anything from your ipod touch on a TV, you need to spend about $50 on an apple AV cord (ipod touch will not work with anything other than apple cords.) Once again, Apple, you manage to piss people off (i.e. lowering the price of the iphone after many people just bought it for a higher price)
anyways, great product, i would recommend it to everyone
IPOD TOUCH4
This is great! I am in sales so I travel just about everyday and needed a device that I could keep contacts, calendar events and more at my finger tips! I carry it in my pocket just like a PDA and since it is slim you almost forget you have it in your pocket. I can plug it into my car radio for my long trips and listen to my music, podcasts, or audio books. It works well when I am staying away from home since I have all my pictures downloaded that I can flip through. Great for the airplane to since you can put movies on it!
Few things I wished worked a little better:
The wi-fi is not as strong as I would like. Sometimes I have trouble connecting to signals that I can connect to with my laptop.
Battery power is great and last long, but if you leave the wi-fi turned on it will drain the battery because it keeps looking for a signal. Can be a pain to change this setting all the time.
Would be nice to be able to create your own shortcuts on the home screens. Like place the wi-fi setting on the home screen and then it would only be a single click away.
Would also like to download files to it for viewing (word docs, spreadsheets, small dbase files).
I know, I know some of you are shouting at your PC screens this is an IPOD not a PDA! Your are correct and it works great I am just saying it would be nice to have those features to and then this would be considered one of the greatest electronic gadets on the planet since the invention of the laptop!
If you travel for business and need a PDA like device and can't afford a PDA phone this is the way to go!

To see a photo full screen, click the center button.

Or use the built-in stopwatch to log your best times.
Customer Reviews
Much better than people say.5
A few years ago i purchased the 1st Gen Nano and loved it! It was a great Ipod, But unfortunetly the screen died, so i went to look into a new Ipod.
A few of my friends had Classics, but the click wheel's were unresponsive and laggy, so i had doubts about it. they were all abolished when i bought the New Classic, it has a wonderful Interface, and a amount of storage.
Although the Click Wheel is a tad slow, it seems to vary in different Ipods, but Overall, its great. You will Love the Big Screen, the storage, the Interface, and many other cool features on the Ipod.
Thanks Mr. Jobs2
It lasted 3 months. I've NEVER dropped it. It doesn't have any viruses. My computer has no viruses. I've restored it 20 times and it wont add or delete new songs. The apple people won't listen to me because i don't have a warranty. After reading many forums about my problem, every thread ends with people telling the OP he needs to buy a new ipod. I'm not inexperienced with computers so I know what I'm talking about when i say that I've tried everything. I should have bought a Zune.
Excellent Product5
I received this product as a gift recently and I absolutely love it. I have an older model (ipod nano generation 2) and this one has much better improvements.
The design is very sleek with no buttons sticking out. I was surprise of the size of it; very small and could be carried around easily. The screen resolution is great with vibrate colors and text can be easily be read.
The controls are very simple: just slide your finger on the wheel to select your music and press play. I love how the button are clearly labeled; it's very intuitive.
The graphical interface are easy to understand. You have a main menu to choose from: Music, Video etc. The songs are listed in order for easy access. My old Nano ipod doesn't play videos and with this, watching movies on the road is a blast.
The give this produce a 4 stars out of 5. It would be nice to have an expansive slot for increase memory and a compartment to replace batteries.
Overall this product deserves high recognition.

Product Description
Introducing Kindle™ Three years ago, we set out to design and build an entirely new class of device—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle. We designed Kindle to provide an exceptional reading experience. Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, you’ll find reading Kindle’s screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper—and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips. It never becomes hot, and is designed for ambidextrous use so both “lefties” and “righties” can read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time. We wanted Kindle to be completely mobile and simple to use for everyone, so we made it wireless. No PC and no syncing needed. Using the same 3G network as advanced cell phones, we deliver your content using our own wireless delivery system, Amazon Whispernet. Unlike WiFi, you’ll never need to locate a hotspot. There are no confusing service plans, yearly contracts, or monthly wireless bills—we take care of the hassles so you can just read. With Whispernet, you can be anywhere, think of a book, and get it in one minute. Similarly, your content automatically comes to you, wherever you are. Newspaper subscriptions are delivered wirelessly each morning. Most magazines arrive before they hit newsstands. Haven’t read the book for tomorrow night’s book club? Get it in a minute. Finished your book in the airport? Download the sequel while you board the plane. Whether you’re in the mood for something serious or hilarious, lighthearted or studious, Kindle delivers your spontaneous reading choices on demand. We’re very proud to introduce Kindle and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. - The Amazon Kindle Team

Customer Reviews
Not exactly what I wanted
My mom, this is a half-truth as I'm adopted, bought me this item a few weeks ago because she thought I'd like to use it to read about aliens. Well, I'd LIKE to be able to do just that but as it is there are not many books about aliens availible to to kindle. Oh! And apparently, the kindle is not good for those of you who like to annotate the texts, you know what I mean; write little notes to yourself in the margins. Oh! And you can forget about dog-earring the corners to keep you place. Not to mention I;'d hate to own a bookmarker manufacturing plant right now! who honestly sits there and reads the whole dan g book at a time, brother? Not I, no Not I!!! I think this product is strictly trying to appease to the television fans out there who have a limited interest in aliens now that "X-Files" has been cancelled.
Life changing!
I've only had my Kindle a little under 24 hours and already I can see this will be lifechanging for me. Yup, couple things irritate me about it, like the right hand page forward, but since I read the manual (does anyone do this any more?) I found that if you keep it in the holder with it folded back while you read it that you quickly adjust to holding the leather pad and not the Kindle itself and just flick a finger up to turn a page. Problem solved for me!
Author not listed? Hmm, seems Amazon is working on that and I found that plenty I didn't think would be listed are. My guess is by the time I finish reading what I have so far they will be as well. Plenty to keep me busy until then! And what with everyone putting things on their favorites lists, I've found some new books to try out. And you just can't beat the sample! That by far has been the thing I've liked best. I hope that the samples will continue to be representive of the book not just a 'trailer' to get us to buy. But with the reviews it might keep the authors 'honest.'
I really like the get it now feature. There are just times you want a new book and don't want to go out or can't go out. This makes it very nice and the price point seems to be pretty good. I do hope there will be some bargins and buying incentives put in place.
But for now I'm loving it. Don't find any faults. Customer support was very helpful, registering was easy as pie. As for the experimental section.. well that kinda says it all. I'm not depending on it. I'm here for the books. It's nice they have that as a feature but I honestly didn't even know about it until I was given the Kindle as a gift. I've got my iPhone if I need to do any web surfing while I'm out and about!
electronic reading device
Unit doesn't stay in cover very well when opened. Clip on inside of cover doesn't stay up.
Takes getting used to in handling so you don't skip pages.
Downloads work as advertised. All in all, should provide an easier way to have reading material on the road or about town without carrying a heavier book or books.

Bananagrams is bunches of fun!
My friends and I love this game, my mom and sister do, and I'm sure anyone else I played it with would love it too!
In Bananagrams, you use letter tiles to form words in your own personal crossword while other players do the same. The first to incorporate all letters (you gradually take more) wins.
This game is awesome because the emphasis is not on competition. It is fun just to create words with your letters and being excited over spelling a particularly long word. Of course, spelling can improve and vocabulary - you often stop in conversations and think "oxen - that's a really good bananagrams word!"
Small + easy to carry, lots and lots of fun, buy it!!
fun for adults and kids
I bought this game while our baby was in the hospital for surgery. It turned out to be really fun for myself and my hubby. My 7 year old nephew really enjoyed it too. We helped him to recognize some of the words he could create with his tiles. We also taught him the definitions when he put together a series of tiles and asked if it was a word (such as 'roe'). He is smart for his age and it was cool to see him learn as he played. I will be getting it for my nephew for his birthday.
Love this game!
This is an awesome game for anyone who enjoys scrabble, but also enjoys a game with a quicker pace. Bananagrams can go pretty fast. We had the most fun playing it when on vacation with friends and family and found ourselves with a little downtime.
