Defiance game combines MMO with television

August 31, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

As I mentioned before, I am at the Penny Arcade Expo here in Seattle, a big video game convention. Sure, I like reporting on video games as much as the next guy, but what Trion Worlds and SyFy are doing is very different. Defiance is a game that is a "multi-platform shooter MMO". For those that aren't familiar with video game terms, it means that you are playing a game … [Read more...] about Defiance game combines MMO with television

Zotac Mini-PC Series

August 31, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Right now, I am at a big video game convention in Seattle known as the Penny Arcade Expo, or PAX. Yes, there are a lot of big video games companies showing off their stuff, and occasionally you will see something that even non-gamers will love. Such is the case for the Zotac ZBox. These are stand-alone computers that come in a box that is quite small, taking up less … [Read more...] about Zotac Mini-PC Series

Smartype keyboard has a little screen for typing

August 30, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

When I was first learning to type, I did so on an electric typewriter that had an LED screen so you could see what you were typing before you hit "Enter". This enabled you to catch mistakes before they were typed. In the same manner, this Smartype keyboard from KeyView displays exactly what you are typing to see exactly what you type without having to move your head, and … [Read more...] about Smartype keyboard has a little screen for typing

Sony HMZ-T2 Personal 3D Viewer

August 30, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Though I did not see this for myself, I am told that Sony had a Personal 3D Viewer at CES in January. This Personal 3D Viewer is essentially a virtual 150-inch display with two 0.7-inch OLED screens. There were many complaints that this 3D Viewer was too heavy, and the Sony HMZ-T2 Personal 3D Viewer is much lighter without ear cups. In its place are ear buds, and it also … [Read more...] about Sony HMZ-T2 Personal 3D Viewer

AppQuiz iPad Accessory

August 30, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I have seen some interesting iPad accessories that look like they can be used on gameshows. For example, the Duo Pop from Discovery Bay Games. The AppQuiz iPad accessory is much like the DuoPop, but the buttons are not wireless. As you can see, this octopus-shaped thing puts the iPad in the center, while up to four contestants hit the buttons to answer questions. … [Read more...] about AppQuiz iPad Accessory

ARCHOS unveils the GamePad for Android gaming

August 29, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

In case you were not thrilled with the ARCHOS 101 XS tablet with Coverboard, you might want to check out their first gaming tablet, the GamePad. The GamePad has a 7-inch capacitive screen, and it has a bonus for those that don't like the touchscreen. It has access to Google Play for Android gaming, and it has physical control buttons as well as analog sticks. In … [Read more...] about ARCHOS unveils the GamePad for Android gaming

CT-S Electric Scooter

August 28, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I don't know if you saw last summer's Men in Black 3, but there was a scene where their car got crushed and they happened to have two scooters that were essentially one-wheeled vehicles. These vehicles served as interesting alternative forms of transportation when the main one is incapacitated. I suppose the CT-S electric scooter could be viewed like that device, or I … [Read more...] about CT-S Electric Scooter

Hasbro takes Twister into Dance Mode

August 28, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I have never been a big fan of Twister before, and I suppose it is about time that it is about time it got technological. I'm sure that you could easily turn the spinner into something electrical, but what about combining the power of Twister with dance? This is exactly what Twister Dance is designed to be. The game that you see here comes with a speaker and spots that you … [Read more...] about Hasbro takes Twister into Dance Mode

OwnFone could be the future of kid’s cell phones

August 27, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I think we all know that our kids are going to have all kinds of cellular phones. If you can't afford a smartphone, you might want to pay a small price so the kids can have a "dumb" phone. This OwnFone is probably a "dumb" phone, but it is unique and it is prepared for the real world. Chances are, you have a kid who wants a cellular phone (like I do). You probably don't … [Read more...] about OwnFone could be the future of kid’s cell phones

EcoXPower lights a bicycle light, charges a cellular phone, with pedal power

August 24, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I remember when I was a kid I rode my bike to school, and it was often before the sun rose. I had a bike light, but it was battery powered, and these batteries tended to drain rather quickly. Here is the thing I don't understand: a bicycle has pedal power, and there is a lot of energy going to waste by just pedaling. Shouldn't this energy be used to power a bike light? How … [Read more...] about EcoXPower lights a bicycle light, charges a cellular phone, with pedal power

Instacube, for Instagram!

August 24, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I suppose that I shouldn't be surprised that someone has developed an Instacube, the issue I have is that this device isn't already available. Yes, this is one of those Kickstarter projects, which means you have to pledge a little, or in some cases a lot of money to get one for your own. Let's just get the price of the pledge out of the way and say that $149 will get you … [Read more...] about Instacube, for Instagram!

ARCHOS announces the 101 XS tablet with Coverboard

August 23, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I always like to see what ARCHOS is up to, and they make some pretty cool Android tablets in the past few years. They recently announced the Gen10 XS tablet line which features the tablet that you see here with the ARCHOS 101 XS. It is a 10.1 inch tablet that is less than a third of an inch thin and weighs 21 ounces. I'm going to get the internal specs out of the way … [Read more...] about ARCHOS announces the 101 XS tablet with Coverboard

Zaphat uses augmented reality to change your friend’s head

August 22, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I totally live to report on products like the Zaphat, and I will tell you why as soon as I make it clear what it is. Imagine living in a world where augmented reality allows you to hold up something like a tablet or smartphone and see another head on your friend's body. Yes, you will need a hat with a special QR code but this is what the Zaphat provides. Go ahead and … [Read more...] about Zaphat uses augmented reality to change your friend’s head

Monopoly Millionaire from Hasbro

August 22, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I suppose that we have all played Monopoly, and there is a version of Monopoly for pretty much any interest you have from Star Wars to The Lord of Rings. I suppose that Monopoly Millionaire could be tailored to a money-lover's interests, but I thought that everyone loves money. Monopoly Millionaire changes the names of the properties to something far more glamorous like … [Read more...] about Monopoly Millionaire from Hasbro

HEX Axis Wallet for the iPhone 4

August 22, 2012 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I have seen HEX products in the past, and they make some very quality iPhone cases. The HEX Axis wallet has a place for stashing three credit cards, as well as a place for stashing cash. HEX says that it "improves protection", but I am not certain how much protection this will give. I honestly don't know any iPhone case that can take a bullet, but I could be wrong. … [Read more...] about HEX Axis Wallet for the iPhone 4
