Posted: 12 Nov 2013 01:57 AM PST Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: Even with reduced power, the 2013 BMW 320i sedan has a fantastic engine that offers good torque and efficiency thanks to a number of fuel-saving technologies. The eight-speed automatic transmission keeps the power coming. An optional sport suspension package makes this a proper driver's car. Bad: Bluetooth audio streaming isn't standard, and neither is keyless entry. The iDrive system seems like control overkill for the limited number of functions. Almost no driver aid technologies are available at this trim level. Bottom Line: The 2013 BMW 320i is a more accessible 3 Series, with driving dynamics similar to its more powerful siblings. However, techies will want to look further up the line for gadgets. [Read more] |
Posted: 12 Nov 2013 12:19 AM PST Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: Square Cash was designed to be usable by anyone. In fact, it's designed so you don't even need to use the app. There are no service fees to send money, unlike PayPal. Bad: The security risk for Square Cash users is high for those who don't keep secure passwords or use two-step authentication. There currently isn't a way to access Square Cash account settings in the app. Bottom Line: The Square Cash app makes sending and receiving money free and easy, but make sure your e-mail account is truly secure before using it.

Bissell PowerGlide Deluxe Pet Vacuum Posted: 11 Nov 2013 07:40 PM PST Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The Bissell PowerGlide Deluxe Pet Vacuum is a reasonably priced, versatile vacuum that excelled in cleaning fine particulates on both carpet and hard floors. Bad: It failed to pick up pet hair on hard surfaces, and cleaning the rollerbrush is less convenient than with other models. Bottom Line: If you want a vacuum that performs on par with, if not better than, luxury vacuums without paying a luxury price, the Bissell is a great option. [Read more] |
Posted: 11 Nov 2013 05:37 PM PST Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The MyFord Touch system in the 2014 Ford Fiesta makes a good interface for music and the hands-free phone system, while its voice command system is one of the best in the business. Average fuel economy hits the mid-30s. Bad: The navigation system renders maps slowly and doesn't compensate for GPS signal loss. MyFord Touch and Sync AppLink are mutually exclusive features. Bottom Line: With its 1.6-liter engine, the 2014 Ford Fiesta makes for a mild-mannered urban runabout, but Sync and MyFord Touch add some compelling tech features. [Read more] |
Logitech Zone Touch Mouse T400 for Windows 8 (Black) Posted: 07 Nov 2013 11:34 PM PST Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The Logitech Zone Touch Mouse T400 has a touch-compatible strip to take advantage of Windows 8 shortcuts, ambidextrous design, a Unifying Receiver which lets you use one USB dongle for up to six Logitech peripherals, and an 18-month battery life with a three-year warranty. Bad: The imprecise touch strip makes scrolling an exercise in patience, its low-profile contour can be uncomfortable for bigger hands. Bottom Line: The Zone Touch Mouse works as a traditional three-button mouse with the added benefit of the glass touch strip for select Windows 8 gestures. We just wish the touch features were a little more precise. [Read more] |
