Monitor Audio has successfully utilized SKAA in its recently launched WS100 wireless computer speakers.

In any business, the customer always wins when there is competition. But that doesn’t mean monopoly holders are bullying the customer. If Alarm.com believes it’s best for its OWN business to set prices and terms as they do, then…

Alarm.com has bullied their customers for years since they had no competition. Competition is good, it will either make Alarm.com better or it will sink them. Either way it works for me.

Oh, my, that Samsung F8500 series looks like our TV of choice. So long, Panasonic! Reap what you’ve sown from the beginning of YOUR price wars. The Magnolia exclusive is no different than they’ve done with the VT series in the…

I am just glad to see 2GIG looking at more options for the dealer and end-user. Competition drives better products, service, and pricing.
Joseph Azar (Posted on 05/21/13, 08:22 PM)
Sure Julie, by whatever appeals to you, as it is your money. But in audio (and video), true evaluations should be made on accuracy, not taste, when reviewing. You may like TV set that makes black people look like they have a bit of sunburn…
Tom M. (Posted on 05/21/13, 07:38 PM)
I’m glad Alarm.com stood up against those alegidly willing to steal their intellectual property. These “new” entry’s all use that horribly designed icontrol setup that has proven to be just plain bad. Good…
Tom Wells (Posted on 05/21/13, 04:49 PM)
Julie Great article (as usual). Eventually we will all benefit from the thousands of unsuspecting consumers who fall for this stuff and buy something that does meet their expectations. I just hope that they figure it out…
