After one year of using I would definitely recommend this laptop for anyone looking for reliability, comfort and fed up with all updates, upgrades, SP1′s, SP2′s… Untill December 2009 I was a PC user for almost 15 years whith, apart from listening music from ipod and using Itunes for music upload, no experience with mac world, Mac OS. After my Windows Vista crashed for the 5th time within 2 weeks I decided to make a radical change and went for macbook pro and after one year I can say that it was a very good decision. I use macbook for my personal, home needs, webbrowsing, mail, photos storing and editing, video watching and music storing. For all these purposes it is a perfect and reliable machine.

As for the Smart TV/Samsung App hub, I tried it briefly using the Youtube app under a wired connection(which stalled on the initial install). Videos streamed very quickly and it looked like the the app always plays the highest video quality. Most of the other apps never appealed to me so I found myself quickly deleting them off the TV but this was never a selling point for me anyways, just something to mess around with. As others have mentioned, navigating without a keyboard quickly became a chore. So, hopefully, somewhere along the line, Samsung will separately sell their qwerty remote that’s included with their 7000 and up series of TVs otherwise this feature could fade fast.

In recent years, we’ve had franchises return for a fourth installment. Indiana Jones. Die Hard. Rambo. Scream. All of varying worth. Many critics say that these long running franchises returning for a 4th film never live up to the hype or to the series they are a part of. Well, ‘Pirates 4′ comes along to change all that. It is a sequel, coming 4 years after the last one(which is like 10 years in this generation where last week is old), it is a part 4, and it’s wonderful. Critics say otherwise, but this is one movie where the audience has spoken, and they are loving it.

First, I bought this watch to replace the old Casio “Fishin Time” watch I got for Father’s day in 1981 which just died this June! WOW! 30 years of constant use and wear at work, at social settings, and at constant fishing applications. It never failed me – until it died. I can’t complain about that kind of service!
This “replacement” has much the same attributes as the old one which I have been shopping to replace for a few months now. Just like my old one, this watch comes with Sunrise/Sunset and MOON data coupled with the Solunar Tables – but no TIDE tables. That’ll work. It still has most all of the info you need at your fingertips. It may not be to-the-minute for your locale (nobody else’s is either), but it is close enough to perform well, especially at this price! The alarms and stopwatch are far better on this model too.

Read the reviews of this tv before we bought and didn’t quite know what everyone was talking about when they described the soap opera effect. When you see it, you will know.
The picture is almost 3D and you see the Hollywood tricks. Green screen and special effects work is very apparent.
Personally this destroys my ability to get lost in the scene because the tricks can be detected. I hate the default soap opera mode and I prefer other modes.
My husband says it is like sitting on the stage with the actors. It is a whole new experience to rewatch his favorites. I agree . . . it is a whole new experience but in my opinion NOT a good one. He gets a kick out of seeing things like painted actors in the background of John Wayne movies.
