Apple Watch Review: Judgement = it's awesome!

Yep, Milanese - geek magnetics.

Dude, this watch is awesome and I am so lucky the the love of my life bought this for me! She presented to me after my graduation commencement from WGU (BS in Business IT Management). Its slick. Why? Because:

• It looks classy yet highly tech and geeky.
• The activity app is my dream being a fitness junkie. Everything I do is considered movement wise and I look every few hours to see if I have completed my fitness goals. Needs those abbbbssss!

Better start doing some jumping jacks!

• Talking to it seems to be much better than Siri directly on the phone, it hasn't made one mistake yet. I imagine they use a 'different Siri' but what do I know?
• The band is awesome but it scratched up my case a little bit when it went all the way back to its bracket. ;(
• I like the faces and there is probably a face out there for someone. I chose modular.

Not busy today?

• Game's aren't very good on it so far, let's see if someone (or maybe me) will create a better watch game.
• I like the remote control camera for those spy missions I have. 

Apple, thank you, and to my Love, thank you more. If you have an iPhone get and Apple Watch now!  Once you have one, its a necessity.

N300 Wifi Range Extender

Been having a problem with getting wifi in my living as my wireless router is in my bedroom. We have a two bedroom apartment but we constantly get drops while streaming video on any device in the living. This NetGear N300 Wi-Fi Extender was on sale yesterday for only $49.99 and it worked like a dream.

Easy setup.
Affordable.
Strong signal.

I highly recommend it and...its cute and tiny like a little robot.

Short but sweet

Woohooo first sale of the year. Now must find more things to sell.  :)

It's coming!!!! But it was so depressing before...

I finally procured a Space Grey iPhone 6 Plus via work in early November but the AT&T estimate was 'delivered between Dec 18 and Dec 30' which was going to take it dangerously into my vacation time where I couldn't get my prize. But I received a message that it was due to arrive tomorrow by 4:30pm. Yes! This time, the inaccuracy was to my favor but wow the stock of iPhone 6 is so great and chaotic that they are unable to give exact dates.

This time, that's ok.

Where's my iPhone 6?

I want my iPhone 6 :(

Why oh why are the lines so long at all the Apple stores I try buy an iPhone 6? It's ridiculous, really. Sometimes the lines are 3-4 hours long or more for the day (no way - that's a waster of time) and sometimes the lines are for the next fricking day. My girlfriend and I are trying to get iPhones together, one of us will get a regular and the other will get the Plus. See the size lineup below:

5 - 6 - 6 Plus

We'll switch back and forth trying them buuuuut there's no where to get them! Now this is not completely true as we could go to the AT&T store but the trade-in value is so much smaller than at Apple. My 32gb iPhone 5 (not 5s) is wroth $205 in its good condition. My Love has the iPhone 5 also but 16GB buuuuut the sleep wake button is broken (there is currently a program to get that fixed at Apple but the process will take two weeks roughly). AT&T gave her phone $27 trade in worth. That's ballssssssss. Apple was still going to give her phone a $205 trade-in (or $250 or so if the button is fixed) and mine is roughly $280 worth. But the lines...THE LINES!!! We are at an impasse here because we could go hardcore and spend the extra hundreds of dollars at AT&T or wait for the lines to simmer down and get better trade in value but the value might go down 10-20% for our phones.

Choices choices...but then again the Plus is out of stock globally and there is no availability until December. Good work Apple, good work frustrating us, wasting time on lines, and oh yeah good work frustrating us. Maybe the new stock coming out will bend in your butt pocket less anyway.

In low light conditions without a flash, Fire phone uses optical image stabilization to keep the shutter open up to four times longer to reduce noise and blur.

Capture even the widest scene with the panorama setting, hold down the shutter button to capture a burst of shots in a fast-moving scene, or combine multiple images in lenticular mode.

Intelligent HDR

You also get Amazon Prime membership for a year! If you are into unlimited streaming of movies and videos, songs, books, and free two day shipping on millions of items... :)

New Large iPhone 6?

Gizmodo posted an article that Apple will be developing large iphones to compete with the likes of Samsung and etc. Though most large smartphones make you look like you are a baby holding daddy's phone, this doesn't look overly dwarfing. Yehey bigger movie viewing anywhere :).
