Very good, few recomendations

Have been using this keyboard for like 2-3 years (heh, my review coming a little too late) and I haven't found a single major drawback, writing in this keyboard feels very good, to the point that now I can't use normal keyboards. But i'm sure that you have read that in every single review of this keyboard so i'm focusing in the things that annoyed me in this full two years using it

First, if you try to remove the space or any "two-space" key like the enter or back you will have a bad time trying to remove and then a even harder time trying to put it back, don't do that if you don't want to change the entire layout or change all the keys or something like that

Second, this thing get really dusty between the keys and it's a nightmare to clean it, it's not this specific keyboard's fault, but I recommend leaving this thing under something where you're no going to use it

And last, be careful with the rubber thigies that keep the keyboard from sliding, when it's hot the glue that keep them from moving became really weak and if you move the keyboard without lifting it they can came off

I've enjoyed this new car navigation system for a week and decided to return it. As you may expected this unit has very good graphical interface. In 2D and 3D mode, the displayed map is always beautiful. In the view of performance, this unit has a kind of reasonable performance. Recalculation of route is fast enough. At least the speed is same as that of its competitors. GPS reception is also good, I think it has the newest SiRF III chipset and it guarantees superb reception performance. Free traffic monitoring is one of the best features of this unit. I think lots of people (including myself) buy this because of the free TMC. It works pretty well. 3D view of freeway interchange point is also helpful.

But, in spite of these superiorities, I decided to give up using Navigon 7100 because,

1) Well known (?) memory issue. Mine has 2GB legacy SD card, instead of 4GB faster SD card. I've never tested the performance difference between the two SD's. But I think they will show difference. Even though I can assume the difference is very small, 2GB memory has too small free space for upgrading or user data. Simply, I don't want to buy 2GB with 4GB price.

2) Although the GPS reception is good, it takes too much time for it to initialize the system. It takes 3~5 minute to get the GPS signal after turning on the device. Even you are in the opened area. (If it gets signal once, it can keep the signal pretty well. That's why I think the reception is good.) This is too painful. I have to spend such a long time to start the navigation. You know, I can drive fair amounts of distance in 3 min. If I drive to wrong direction in this dead time, I have to spend more time to get back. This is very annoying.

3) The awkward routing algorithm. Sometimes, it makes me lot of turns even though there is a straight road connection. If there are several parallel roads, it always designates a specific road to drive, in spite of the efficiency. Because there is no traffic information for the local road, occasionally, it guided me to the most jammed road. if I drive away from the jammed road and take another parallel road, it always keep saying "go back to the jammed road" (even though there's no difference in efficiency between two paths and two paths are parallel) sometimes, it picked up a very weird route regardless of the routing option. It will make your travel time doubled.

4) The awkward rerouting by traffic monitoring. Free TMC is definitely the best feature of this device. But this feature sometimes makes the trip time doubled. Let's say you are at point A. You have to drive to point C, 10 miles away from A, through a freeway. But from point B, 9 miles away from A, there's heavy traffic and totally jammed. Then the fastest way to drive to C is taking the freeway and drive to B, then taking locals to C. -But if Navigon gets this traffic information, it will guide you just local road and avoid entire freeway sections. If the freeway is long enough, maybe it redirects you to freeway. But it guided me to locals from Santa Monica to LA downtown and avoided 10 miles whole i-10 section. That was 9:00PM and there was a slow traffic at very near the downtown. This is nonsense. To avoid this situation, when it notifies you the traffic, you have to check the map very carefully and decide to avoid or ignore. You have to do it, while you are driving, even in 60+ miles. That may kill you.

I think Navigon has tried their best, but still not enough. Definitely, it has some superiority over its competitors. But, also it has very critical bugs that can make you very nervous. I think you'd better wait though it's very attractive. You can buy this after they fix lots of bugs other users and I suffered. Don't be a beta tester of Navigon paying more than $500.

Well writen but doesn't cover much that hasn't been said before

Petrosian's legacy is a very good book, but if you're looking for a more complete study of his games this should not be your first option. It's main appeal comes from the fact that it contains lectures by Petrosian himself, which is not something very common and easy to find.  The chapters are short with brief analyses of specific aspects of chess, instead of being a large collection of annotated games.

I found this at Walmart tonight, and after reading the reviews on Amazon, decided to give it a try.  For such a small speaker, it's surprisingly good, meaning it will actually surprise you with sound quality and quantity.

With pop vocals I know well (Gordon Lightfoot) it sounds really great, and does fill a large space pretty well.  But I'm mostly a classical music listener; I found the sound a bit thin for that kind of music.  I plan to spend a few more hours with it while visiting Kipnis Studios, where we can give it a much better workout with diverse repertoire and highly trained ears, and will revise this review if I can actually edit it later, or post a followup.  However, I think for classical music I'll be looking for something a bit smoother and a bit richer.  If Logitech delivered a revised version that did those things, even somewhat larger, it would get that elusive fifth star.

This is very well written book. For an beginner in the digital video/audio broadcast field like me, the book provides a good overview of the various video and audio standards as used by broadcasters and telecomms and internet service providers. The writing style used is very clear and the diagrams used also support the text.

The downside of the book is that it is not detailed enough me (my background is in computers/telecomms). For example, RTP, the protocol used at the hard of digital media streaming, merits only three pages. I have the impression that the book's audience is too broad - the book attempts to address users, broadcasters, and telecomms engineers. There is no detailed explanation of how the networking protocols work. The video/audio protocols are explained in some detail, but in the case of the network protocol already mentioned, RTP, no details are given, and no reference for further study is given.

In summary, the book is good as an easy introductory read, computer professionals especially will be want to look elswewhere.

This is an excellent overview of the field and the options on the market, but it is neither comprehensive, nor detailed.  If you want to know what home automation is, and what some of your options are, then this is a good bet.  You'll find out some of the ways you can control your lighting, control the heating, lock the door, etc.  There are whole technologies left out, such as automatic toilet bowl cleaners, automatic shower cleaners, robotic window washers...  With a book like that, the information is guaranteed to go stale fast, but these technologies were on the market well before the book was published.

Some of the things that were left out were some of the more interesting components.  WeMo Maker, for example, lets you add automation to some devices that don't support it.  It's not listed.  No homemade IoT devices are listed.  No Pi.  No Arduino.  Nothing of the sort.  This book is nowhere near that technical.

Various companies like Verizon offer inexpensive solutions that are partly custom and partly do it yourself.  They are a great option for first time automaters, and are not listed.  You can have multiple elements work together, so for a movie night, you can dim the lights and start the popcorn popper with a single button.

For streaming media, you hear about Apple TV, ChromeCast and Roku, but I'd argue the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick are both worth a mention as well, especially as they bring gaming into the mix.  No mention is made of XBMC, which felt like a shortfalling given the nature of the chapter.

It had some good advise early on about securing your network, but again it falls shy of being comprehensive.  If you're going to do as Dwight Spivey suggests and make an inventory of all devices on your network, add mac filtering so that those are the only devices that ever can get on the network.  Why manually monitor what devices are on the network when you can automate that?

It has next to nothing on details on how to set any of this up, nor how to troubleshoot when things go wrong.  It doesn't get anywhere near that level of detail.  If you want to actually set something up, if you want a book that's going to get that deep in the weeds on the topic, you will be disappointed.  If you want to know what the options are, and some of the kinds of things on the market (and again, the options aren't comprehensive) then this is an excellent starting point.

This is a great learning system, but there are a few things missing. I'm giving it 4 stars because I definitely learned the basics of Italian. You're just SOL if you need to say 6 or 7. It teaches you how to say 1-5, and 8-9. THAT'S IT. Also, it teaches you how to order 2 beers, but not 2 wines (the plural form is different than the singular form). Other than those 2 things, and a couple of other very minor discrepancies, I would say that this system definitely teaches you the basics.

The performance is good. The two things that I wished it had, and did not realize until I set it up, are: 1. There is no separate Guest network 2. The USB port is only for power, there is no communication there ( I found that out when trying to access my USB drive from that connection). Other than missing these two features, I am happy with the cable modem.

Very good, very through, but pretty boring.  Its a great place to start , and the tape is very helpful , just a little boring . Otherwise 5 stars

The team is very good, works perfectly, the trouble is that the camera that come with the DVR does not have good night vision, does not have enough LEDs, and the camera can not be rotated to many directions, meaning that when you install the camera you can only rotate up and down in one direction, this is a problem because if you want to move the angle direction to another you would have to remove it and install it again.
The camera quality is very good, the settings for the mobile application is very simple, with the P2P option.
For the problem of night vision I give it a 4, I think it would be better to buy the cameras separately, the amcrest 720p cost $ 33 separately come with more LED lights improve night vision and are better designed to turn several angles .
The lens of the camera is 3.2mm.

I think the dual use for this type of device is very useful. I love having a small computer that can turn into a tablet, specially with the addition of a 500g Hard drive. Sadly, the device has so many limitations that it takes away from its usability.

Pros:
Asus uses good quality materials in its devices. The tablet feels sturdy, screen has good color and overall, it looks nice and feels solid.
I have since updated it to Windows 10, and it works great in general. I really wasn't expecting so much versatility to the programs that it can use. If you use a memory card, you can install many programs, which is great.
Its main Solid state drive is ultra fast when starting the booting the system. It is even faster than my desktop and laptop.
Battery lasts for a very long time, considering that it is a windows device. I wasn't expecting that, and of course, if you have the dock connected, the hard drive consumes a little more, but nothing relevant.
Putting the device on the dock and taking it off is extremely smooth, and I love that.

Cons:
Sadly, Windows store really doesn't have a good variety of apps, which detracts from the experience. I know this is not Asus' fault, but being a windows device, you definitively won't get the same experience as an android of apple experience, both of which have amazing variety of apps. Many games and apps you may want to try out are simply not available. Try finding a good ebook reader that acoomodates to the whole screen, and you will know what I mean.
Speakers have a very low sound. You can have your windows volume maxed out and still not hear things on youtube videos. My iphone has better sound.
Bluetooth is very bad. I am no expert at Bluetooth versions, but I can definitively notice a difference when I use any of my bluetooth devices with my iOS or android devices. Not only quality of data transfer is bad, range is also very limited.
Also, screen brightness changes randomly. I can be reading something on the tablet ion the dark before going to bed with great brightness and open up a new page and find that the brightness goes away wthout me doing anything more than just clicking on a link on my browser.
But for me, my biggest disappointment is the touch controls on the screen. I think this might be more related to Windows than to the hardware, but it has happened both in Windows 8 and now in Windows 10. It is extremely recurrent that when you leave your device to sleep (for example, close the lid of your protecting case or sleeve, the device turns the screen off and goes to sleep mode) and you come back to turn it on, the touch controls will simply not work. The screen is on, and of course you can see the login screen, but it is unresponsive. This is corrected by turning off and on the device, but this has never happened with any of the other tablets I have at home. I can understand this happening a few times randomly, but no, this is consistent bvehavior. You are better turning off your tablet every time than hoping that it will work next time.

My last 2 issues are, more than likely related to Windows and how it manages power consumption and maybe these problems are not Asus fault, but that still makes me think that I can truly give this device more stars hoping that Microsoft corrects his stuff. I expect to have with a Windows device the same experience I have had with other tablets. Of particular annoyance for me are the speaker sound volume and the annoying turning off of the touch screen controls. If it weren't for these 2 thing, I could probably give this device 4 stars.

Sadly, while Asus is a very solid manufacturer, this device is marred with very annoying limitations, some intrinsic to the hardware, some intrinsic to the operating system it uses.

My general opinion for this product are: "Very good product, you can buy it without fear"
General Opinions:
-Good effects
-Available varied effects
-Electromechanical parts "seems" to be weak o low quality but it's just my opinion
-1 Hour with auto-off it's very helpful
-Speaker included but don't expect too much, don't have enough volume.

Very good isights based on experience, but it lacks in the area of God's soveriegnty & misunderstands Calvinism.
It is however useful, despite being a little off the mark in places.

It is a very good book, BUT, kind of unpractical in some ways. Although I really like all the good explanation about crying and the stress mechanism the crying real eases, there are some situations described in the book, especially in the 'baby part' that just do not apply to the daily reality at all. She says, for example, to "never leave a baby cry by himself all alone" . Well, what would you do when you have a 3 years toddler and a 4 months old and you are all alone (when husband is at work or out of town) and the toddler has pooped and you need to change him but the baby wants you in the same time and starts crying once you put him in his crib, or when you try to give them a bath etc. Also, I didn't quite understand how that part with holding your baby while he's crying for half an hour in your arms works. I mean, instinctually, every Mother wants to soothe her baby, what Mother in the world can just sit there calmly and watching him cry. I know for sure not me.
Overall, as I said, it's a researched, maybe sometimes too researched for the tiring brain of a Momma, kind of book but with not too much practical advice. I still recommend the dr. Sears books, as well as dr. Karp's ones.
