Canon PIXMA MG4120 Approx. 9.9 ipm Black Print Speed 4800 x 1200 dpi Color Print Quality USB / Wi-Fi InkJet MFC / All-In-One Color Printer

Pros: Works great, easy to set up on wireless, even secure wireless. Works with iPhone/iPad Airprint. Scanner App for iPhone

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: Had to update the firmware to get Airprint working. Process was very simple, just connect via usb and run the package download from Canon.

Most Critical Review

Not Exactly

StarTech.com MDP2DVIS Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - 1080p - Single Link - Active - Mini DP (Thunderbolt) to DVI Monitor Adapter
StarTech.com MDP2DVIS Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - 1080p - Single Link - Active - Mini DP (Thunderbolt) to DVI Monitor Adapter

Pros: Well made and reasonably priced.

Cons: The female DVI connection is missing the four holes by the slot which makes it impossible to adapt to VGA. I had thought to kill two birds with one stone by just buying this adapter and using a DVI to VGA adapter since I have two different monitors I connect to with my MacBook Air. I guess I'll be off to buy another adapter.

Overall Review: I really wish companies were not allowed to use the term DVI if it is not complete. There is really no reason to not make this adapter with the four holes next to the slot except they want you to buy a separate adapter for VGA.

Works great

Intel 7260HMW AN IEEE 802.11 Dual Band N600 Mini PCI Express Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter, 2.4GHz 300Mbps/5GHz 300Mbps
Intel 7260HMW AN IEEE 802.11 Dual Band N600 Mini PCI Express Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter, 2.4GHz 300Mbps/5GHz 300Mbps

Pros: Dual Band Great throughput Relatively inexpensive

Cons: Not free?

Overall Review: I bought a relatively high end Dell laptop for work, i7 CPU, 16gb ram, etc., and was thoroughly disappointed that I was getting less than stellar wifi performance on my home N network. Figured out it was because it was not making full use of the bandwidth as it had the single band version of this card installed. I was very happy to find a dual band version of the same card that I could just pop in.

Great product

Lexerd - Fujifilm FinePix XP70 TrueVue Crystal Clear Digital Camera Screen Protector (Dual Pack Bundle)
Lexerd - Fujifilm FinePix XP70 TrueVue Crystal Clear Digital Camera Screen Protector (Dual Pack Bundle)

Pros: Apply very easily and protect the screen. Cheaper than the Zagg protectors I use on my iphone.

Cons: They weren't free? LOL

Overall Review: My Fuji XP70 I just bought went on one float trip before I bought the screen protector and the screen ended up looking completely hosed. What ever coating Fuji uses on the screen is not adequate in the least. Screen was completely cloudy even after a thorough cleaning. I thought I'd be stuck with a cloudy screen forever, but I applied this screen protector and it looks almost new again.

I love these things

Tripp Lite Model P022-001 1 ft. Power Extension Cord, NEMA 5-15P to NEMA 5-15R - 10A, 120V, 18 AWG, 1 ft. Black
Tripp Lite Model P022-001 1 ft. Power Extension Cord, NEMA 5-15P to NEMA 5-15R - 10A, 120V, 18 AWG, 1 ft. Black

Pros: With all the power adapters we use these days, 1-foot extension cords are almost a must. Inexpensive and lifetime warranty. Arrived very quickly.

Cons: 10 amp, states that in the description, but still a con.

Overall Review: With the guage and type of wire used, I am not sure how these are not rated at least 15 amps. Personally, I doubt I'll plug more than about 2-3 amps in any of them, but since most household outlets are 15 amp, you'd think they'd go ahead and rate them for that so they are protected by the circuit breaker.

It's a SanDisk

SanDisk Ultra UHS-I 32GB microSDHC Flash Card Model SDSDQUI-032G-A11
SanDisk Ultra UHS-I 32GB microSDHC Flash Card Model SDSDQUI-032G-A11

Pros: Formatted and loaded NOOBS for Raspbery Pi on it quickly. Arrived super fast. It's a Sandisk, so quality is top notch. Very reasonable price.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I haven't actually gotten my Rasberry PI yet, should be in tomorrow, then I'll know if it is compatible (should be). I think I would have rather had a full sized SD card for this instead of the micro SD and adapter, but wasn't worth the extra cost, so...
