First of all, I reviewed some great tech from Able Planet. Check out the Sound Clarity Infrared Wireless Headphones. Got a video review of it, too. You know you like those! Remember that Rubik's Cube puzzle? That was pretty tough. However, it was nothing compared to Brando's Twelve-sided IQ Pentagon Puzzle. Griffin has just released the very first iPhone controlled … [Read more...] about Tech News for the Day, Wednesday, Sept 23

Asus to release full-color reader with two touchscreens
Asus is not only putting out those awesome Eee books, but it would appear they are doing their own version of the reader. Putting the Kindle in its place, this guy could have two full-color touchscreens. That second display could be used as a virtual keyboard for web browsing, which could easily make it another netbook. Not only does it have all this, but it could be sold at … [Read more...] about Asus to release full-color reader with two touchscreens
Kymera Magic Wand controls TV with a wave
So what are we looking at in this picture? This is Harry Potter after the Epilogue of the last book. As you can see, Harry has found a steady job and has long since given up a life of adventure so he can afford to send his kids to Hogwarts. His couch potato boring life makes him long for Voldemort to be resurrected yet again. Just kidding. This is the Kymera wand, which … [Read more...] about Kymera Magic Wand controls TV with a wave

Today, I have some interesting gaming news. These have nothing to do with the Wii, which I've been overdosing a bit these days. These are games that have to be played standing up at a table, and look like a lot of fun. For example, the MaruBot Football League, which allows the players to work a robot with a joystick in order to play soccer. It's big in Korea, and I'd … [Read more...] about Tech News for the Day, Tuesday, September 22
Logitech makes a laptop board with pull-out mouse surface
Every once in a while, some company comes out with a product that we really should have had a long time ago. Case in point, this new laptop board from Logitech. I have used laptop boards before, and I enjoy that they take the heat off my (ahem). However, I like using my mouse, but using it with my mouse doesn't really work. If only someone made some retractable mouse … [Read more...] about Logitech makes a laptop board with pull-out mouse surface
iTwinge turns an iPhone into a BlackBerry
I don't have an iPhone, but I have used one in the past. I never liked how the touchscreen keyboard has no haptic feedback, and so I don't "feel" if I've hit the right key. This is why I like the Blackberry Storm. For those of you who are fans of BlackBerry's keyboard might like the iTwinge. Simply put, it is a handy slide-on keyboard for your iPhone so you can "feel" … [Read more...] about iTwinge turns an iPhone into a BlackBerry
USB Windows Icebox tells your computer to “freeze”
The USB Windows Icebox is a device that looks like a flash drive, but it can do a lot more. It has a unique ability to plug into your computer, and it will immediately "freeze" any changes on the hard disk. So another user can jump on to your laptop or PC, but after you turn it off, your computer will return to the state it was in before you stuck in the Icebox. This is … [Read more...] about USB Windows Icebox tells your computer to “freeze”

Nintendo Wii on its way out, Wii HD rumored to arrive in 2011
There comes a time when you see the signs of the times, and you know things are coming to an end. I'm not really talking about the Second Coming, because I don't think I can read those signs too well. Of course, that is another story. The story that I would talk about is the Nintendo Wii. It had a great opening with too little supply to meet the incoming holiday demand, … [Read more...] about Nintendo Wii on its way out, Wii HD rumored to arrive in 2011
In which I get preachy on M-rated video games, but not like you would think
I've recently talked a lot about video games lately, and I have been a little concerned about what my audience may think of me. After all, I probably shouldn't be wasting my time on video games anyway, and should concentrate my efforts on doing more Christian things like taking care of orphans and widows. I certainly don't want anyone to do anything wrong because they are … [Read more...] about In which I get preachy on M-rated video games, but not like you would think

ClearPlay and do you need it?
ClearPlay is billed as "a revolutionary way for your family to enjoy movies". As you can see from the video, it allows users the power to remove objectionable content from movies that they watch on a DVD player. You have to get their DVD player in order to do this, but you can use DVDs that you rent or own. Then you have to insert the FilterStik into the USB port. … [Read more...] about ClearPlay and do you need it?
