    Amazon Has Begun Mailing Printed Copies of Its "Ultimate Wish List for Kids"

    I can also remember waiting on the Sears Wish Book and the JC Penny Christmas catalog to arrive in the mailbox. It was not Christmas time until they got delivered and then every day they would be studied very carefully to see what existed that I did not know I needed or wanted until I saw how...

    I'm glad to see printed materials return since our company supplies coating pigments to the paper markets!

    Samsung Note 9 - expected pricing is utterly ludicrous

    Well I am definitely glad I did the headphones and not the Fortnite V-bucks since my kids were still able to get the Galaxy Fortnite skin for free. It was a win win for everyone. The headphones sound great to me and the kids love the Galaxy skin. The phone is a huge improvement over my Note...

    Cracked my first phone screen

    Whatever you do , I would put a Whitestone Dome glass protector on the new phone. It is definitely worth the money for the protection.

    VZW? others? Note 9 backorder until ....

    Hopefully you will get it before too long. My wife went from the S7 to the Note 9. At first (before we ordered) she was worried about it being too big, but now that she has it she can't imagine going back to the smaller screen. My son is stuck with the smaller screen. :) At first Verizon...

    VZW? others? Note 9 backorder until ....

    I preordered my 512GB Blue and 128GB Blue on August 10 with the BOGO Verizon offer and I received my 512GB on August 23rd and got the 128GB on August 25th. I was previously rocking the dying Note 4 so I am over the moon with my Note 9 and it was worth every penny of the price.

    Samsung Note 9 - expected pricing is utterly ludicrous

    In fiscal year 2017, Apple spent $11.58 billion on research and development activities. That was a nearly $1.6 billion increase from the $10 billion that the company spent during fiscal year 2016. In the year before that, Apple spent just $8.07 billion on research and development. R&D is not...

    Samsung Note 9 - expected pricing is utterly ludicrous

    Just ordered myself the 512GB Blue and my wife the 128 GB blue with the BOGO deal on Verizon. I have still been rocking the note 4 but it is past its last leg. I have the dreaded MMC problem and have to run Wake Lock on my note 4 or it will reboot constantly.

    WiFi Thermostats?

    I ended up getting the Honeywell I listed which was $85 on Amazon. It doesn't send reports but is a cheaper entry into this market. Now that I have one I concur with everyone that if you do not have a WiFi thermostat, I would strongly suggest getting one. With prices ranging from $85 on up...

    WiFi Thermostats?

    I have been looking at new thermostats for the untimely new 5ton HVAC I just wrote a check for right at Christmas time. I have been researching the Honeywells which seem to be a good basic entry for ~ $85, much cheaper than Nests, etc. Anyone have any experience with the Honeywell RTH6580WF...

    looking for a heart rate monitor

    I have used both Polar and Garmin hear rate monitors over the years. I started back in 1993 when marathon training, I purchased a Polar with a chest strap. Polar was the world leader in heart rate monitors and the watches were pretty basic. I used it for many years and then the whole GPS scene...
