I have always loved to see the latest developments in augmented reality, and I believe that this game known as Ingress could change the gaming realm of augmented reality. My Sources says that Ingress is developed by Google, but specifically it is developed by John Hanke and Niantic Labs. The game is designed to be played in real life as you walk the streets in a city or … [Read more...] about Google has an augmented reality game known as Ingress

I think we are all aware that our children live in their own world with their headphones on. As a parent, we should probably be concerned about this. Fortunately, iFrogz has headphones for the occasion. The new iFrogz Animatone Over-Ear Headphones have the over-the-ear look of DJ headphones, but the cool decor for younger users. I am trying them out right now, and I … [Read more...] about Animatone Over-Ear headphones from iFrogz

I just finished reviewing the 5W Mighty Dwarf, and I am now pleased to review the BlueII, a Bluetooth wireless speaker, also from Mighty Dwarf. The BlueII looks very similar to the DBEST DUO Bluetooth speakers, except there is only one of them. Like the 5W, it has a 360 degree listening experience, but this one is wireless. Yes, it is Bluetooth wireless, and it has a … [Read more...] about The Mighty Dwarf BlueII Wireless Speaker

I first saw Outdoor Technology's products at CES last January, and I was very impressed with the Turtle Shell Wireless Boom Box. Apparently, the company thought that the Sasquatch needed a wireless and waterproof speaker. Since I have been connecting to a lot of Bluetooth devices lately, like the Mighty Dwarf BlueII, but you'll hear about that in the next post. I was … [Read more...] about Turtle Shell Wireless Boom Box from Outdoor Technology

I am not certain why in the world I did not stop by Mighty Dwarf's booth at CES last January, but I am glad that I got to try out their products recently. The first that I got to try out is the 5W Mighty Dwarf. This is a small can speaker that reminds me of the Boomz Audio Personal Portable Speaker that I reviewed a while ago. The 5W Mighty Dwarf is a 360-degree speaker, … [Read more...] about Mighty Dwarf 5W Speaker

Now that I got myself the QuNeo, I need to get a pair of Professional DJ Headphones, like the HDJ-1500 headphones from Pioneer. Okay, I'm probably not becoming a DJ, but I will have to admit that the HDJ-1500 are some pretty stylish headphones. There are some high-quality components thrown in it with 50mm drivers, copper-clad aluminum wire (CCAW) voice coils, rare-earth … [Read more...] about The Pioneer HDJ-1500 Professional DJ Headphones

Yesterday, HTC and Verizon announced that they had teamed up to make the DROID DNA. Granted, new smartphones come out every day, and I honestly don't take the time to write about each of them. Let's talk about the thing that makes the DNA different. It is the first to have a 1080p display. I have no idea if this is as clear as the Retina display on the iPhone, but the … [Read more...] about HTC and Wireless introduce the DROID DNA

I realize that there is a whole generation who lives on texting, but that is because they grew up with it. This was the generation slightly before me, as I have had to get used to it. I find that I send text messages only when absolutely necessary, such in cases where my wife goes shopping and needs me to send her a grocery list. If you have a smartphone like mine which … [Read more...] about Txtrng;), why oh why are you not a thing?

I am going to be completely straight with you readers today and just say that I enjoy doing headphone reviews. All I need to do is stick them in my ears and then describe the experience. I can even watch a movie while I am doing it. Hey, I'm living the dream. I have reviewed Beyerdynamic's products before, like the T90 a few weeks ago. You will be pleased to know that … [Read more...] about The Custom One Pro from BeyerDynamic

I think we all know that robots are going to help us do more work in the future, with the exception of Glenn, The Flying Robot. Toyota is planning on creating a "partner robot", and it is designed to help those with limited mobility around the home. The tasks are limited to picking up items on the floor, opening curtains, and getting items from the top shelf. You know, … [Read more...] about Toyota creates a robot to help the elderly

I would imagine that the big thing for the holiday will be the Wii U. I am guessing it will be the item that you can't find, and I'm wondering if Nintendo will make enough of them to meet the demand. I have just heard another thing that could propel the Wii into a new realm of awesome. Apparently, the new Wiimote (for lack of a better name) will allow the user to control … [Read more...] about The Wii U can take control of the TV too

It seems like every day I am covering some sort of iPhone accessory. I think that the best that I have seen are batteries, but the SprayTect is quite unique. The SprayTect has a pepper spray container that is in an iPhone 4/4S case. In case you are wondering, the case has a detachable cartridge and it won't disturb the iPhone's functionality. Also, there is a safety … [Read more...] about SprayTect: A Pepper Spray Canister in an iPhone case

I had a chance to try out the QuNeo from Keith McMillen Instruments, and all I have to say is...oh my gosh! The QuNeo is a pad controller designed to work for DJs, VJs, and anyone else who dreams of making electronic music. It is no surprise to me that one of the QuNeo's backers included Herbie Hancock. The QuNeo is a pad that you see here with "16 square pads for 127 … [Read more...] about Review of the QuNeo from Keith McMillen Instruments

Some of you might remember the scene from Return of the Jedi where the Emperor sprays Luke Skywalker with lightning. The scene is iconic, of course, but in retrospect, I will have to say that the Emperor suddenly having the power of lightning sort of comes out of nowhere in the story. That lightning scene proved that special effects could realistically reproduce lightning. An … [Read more...] about Drop what every you are doing and watch a Tesla Coil Dance!

I always love seeing what strides that technology can make in really truly make our lives easier. I like to report on the gadgets that I think are going to "rock the world" the most. This device created by Bounce Imaging looks like it could save lives. One of the problems with being on the police force or on the fire brigade is that you never know what might be around … [Read more...] about Bounce Imagine is a ball-shaped scanner
