NETGEAR FS116 16 Port Fast Ethernet Switch with Auto Uplink (10/100) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had been looking at the FS116 for some time, hoping for the prices to come down.Recently, I was able to get one at a good price from Amazon so I jumped on it.
This switch, unlike many of the Linksys products, is made of *metal*.It is VERY solidly built and quite small - not much taller than the network jacks themselves.It does not have any fans and runs only slightly warm to the touch.
...EVERY port on this device is now uplink capable, not just one port "with a button" as the heading indicates.For me, this was a pleasant surprise as I have several ethernet cables that are designed for uplinking and with this switch, I can use them whenever I need to due to the auto-detection on all 16 ports.
I really like that the LEDs and cables come-out of the front.The trend in consumer level devices is to put the cables on the rear.This does not work for me as I have my "network center" in the basement and all of the cables approach from the front (note, front-connect is how professional-level equipment is built and the fact that the Netgear uses that also harkens to their power-user-level equipment).
Anyway, I have been using this switch transparently for a couple of months now.It functions just as a switch should:without a thought.It just works.

iHome IH70 Computer Stereo Speaker System with Dock for iPod (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I absolutely love it!! I wasn't sure if it'd work with my iphone to play music off of but it works great. The sound is wonderful. I also hook it up to my comp if I'm watching a movie on it for a surround sound kind of experience and it's super nice. The remote is very very handy too. It's worth the price. I'd recommend to anyone. =)

10ft Hi Resolution monitor cable (Male to Male) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to connect a laptop to my Samsung LN40A650 LCD TV, but the Samsung does not like the way the pins are wired in this cable.It is definitely the cable, because after trying 2 other laptops without success, I used another VGA cable that was previously on a desktop PC system.That one did the trick.With the 10ft cable I bought, the TV didn't recognize the PC input was connected.The VGA cable from the desktop PC worked, though I can only get up to 1300x768 resolution, not up to 1920x1080.

This 10ft cable still works, because it is now being used for the desktop PC instead.Just don't expect it to work with LN40A650.You may be taking a risk with any Samsung TV from 2008/9.

I also searched online about this problem, and it is a common.Apparently not all VGA cables are made the same way.This one just isn't made the way Samsung needs it to be.It will probably work with most other devices.
