Command Performance [Blu-ray]
$29.98
It has been a while, and I mean a while, since I've checked out anything that has Dolph Lundgren as the main star. However, there was something about Command Performance that made me want to see it, so I gave it a chance, and it turns out that it actually isn't half bad, and probably one of the best things that Dolph has ever starred in. Dolph (who also directs) stars as Joe, an aging drummer in a band that is opening for a huge American pop princess (Melissa Smith) in Moscow, when out of nowhere terrorists make their presence felt. Before you know it, things basically go into Die Hard mode, but what stops Command Performance from turning into a yawn-fest are some well assembled action sequences and even some surprisingly decent acting. Lundgren is enjoyable as he can be, and former Pussycat Doll contender Melissa Smith is a sight to behold. All in all, you'll certainly see better action flicks than Command Performance, and you'll certainly see worse ones too.

Logitech Performance Mouse MX
$99.99
I've owned countless mice over the years; everything from your basic corded ball mouse, so portable Bluetooth mice, to top of the line cordless optical mice. This particular product obviously falls into the latter category. Of these mice, most are Logitech simply because I prefer their features, comfort, and usability over competing products from Microsoft and other vendors.

The current MX mouse is what of the most fully loaded mouse I've ever used. It has just about every feature and functionality that you'd want from a desktop mouse. Whether you are spending your day surfing the web, typing up e-mails, or playing games, this mouse has you covered.

Starting with normal desktop usage, you have several buttons that work as shortcuts to make life easier. There is a back/forward button, zoom (more on that later), Windows Aero Task switcher, speed sensitivity, and 2-mode scroll wheel. The only feature I've found to be annoying is the zoom button, which is located directly below the back/forward buttons. It took some getting used to as I found I kept zooming instead of going back or forward in my browser. You can also just turn it off.

I have another nearly identical Logitech mouse that doesn't have this button. I wish they'd leave that button off or move it further away. The other feature worth mentioning is the 2-mode scroll wheel. With the simply push of a button you can leave it in the normal clicking mode we are used to, or have that "click" function disabled so the wheel spins freely. Just give it a push and it'll keep spinning until it eventually slows down on its own or you stop it yourself. This is very handy for scrolling through long webpages or documents.

When it comes to gaming, you're covered as well. With another simple push of a button, you can adjust the sensitivity (or DPI) of the optical sensor. This is ideal for scrolling across large maps or sniping from a hidden roof top in your favorite FPS. Users who need precise mouse movement in apps such as Photoshop might also find this useful. The other much advertised feature is the new laser that can track on just about anything, including glass. Bottom line, it works.

The last feature I feel worth mentioning is the micro-USB port in the front of the mouse. I'm not sure why somebody didn't think of this sooner. This is much better than using a dock, cradle, or even replacing battery. When your mouse is dying, just plug in the cable and you can use it as a "normal" corded mouse. Once charged, disconnect, and off you go. Very nice.

Pros:
* Lots of customizable buttons
* Very smooth performance
* Solid feel and construction
* Adjustable DPI
* Best ergonomic mouse out there
* Micro USB recharge port in front of mouse.
* Laser works just about anywhere

Cons:
* Zoom button too close to other buttons.
* Bit pricey

Overall I consider this mouse highly recommended. While it is somewhat pricey, you do get a lot of mouse for your money. It's not for everybody. But if you want the best, this is the one to get.
