I have been reviewing a lot of wireless Bluetooth headphones lately, and I was disappointed that the Zoro Fashion Hi-Fi Headphone or Cellairis Zoro High-Def Stereo Headset was wired, but I am not disappointed that I have to 'wear a wire" with these guys. I found that the Zoro Stereo Headphone made a lot more noise than I thought it would. It is slightly smaller than the … [Read more...] about Zoro Fashion Hi-Fi headphone

The Best New Smartphones at MWC 2013
In all fairness, Mobile World Congress is still going on in Barcelona, but I thought I would take some time to review some of the cool phones that were unveiled there. I'll start with Sprint's Kyocera Torque, and it is a smartphone made for outdoor trips. It is an ultra-rugged 4G LTE Android-powered smartphones with Sprint Direct Connect and Smart Sonic Receiver Audio … [Read more...] about The Best New Smartphones at MWC 2013
Outbox could be the end of snail mail as we know it
I suppose that we all know that the post office isn't really a dying industry, but so many other services (UPS, FedEx) and technologies (e-mail and IM) can replace it completely. Of course, there is nothing that can replace getting physical mail, but a company would like your snail mail as electronic as possible. Their technology actually puts physical mail on your … [Read more...] about Outbox could be the end of snail mail as we know it
My Heart will go on with the new Titanic II in 2016
I am not certain how long this one has been in the making, but I have heard rumors that a sequel to Titanic was coming. I'm not talking about the famous James Cameron movie, but the ship. An Australian billionaire named Clive Palmer wants to re-create the original magic of the White Star ship, only without the tragic maiden voyage. The Titanic II will be a replica of the … [Read more...] about My Heart will go on with the new Titanic II in 2016

Alarm Clock Gun wakes you up on the wrong side of the bed
If you have any fantasy about living in such a way that you need to keep a gun under your pillow like James Bond, then you might like this alarm clock gun. This kit has a vibrating alarm clock to buzz under the pillow to wake you up. I am not certain where the projection is, but it looks like you stop the buzzing by "shooting" it off. In case you are worried about … [Read more...] about Alarm Clock Gun wakes you up on the wrong side of the bed
Skyflash jetpack plans to take off and land on the ground
Some of you might remember a man called Jetman, who loves to jump on a plane and fly this his own private jetpack. This man, Fritz Unger, is working on a Skyflash jetpack that has the unique ability to take off right from land. He hasn't quite succeeded in this venture, but it has lifted him off the ground for an instant as he went along at 34 mph. The jetpack can go at … [Read more...] about Skyflash jetpack plans to take off and land on the ground
MasterCard MasterPass allows you to check out without a register
Mastercard has unveiled a new program at Mobile World Congress called MasterPass, which allows for mobile payments. Here is how it works. All you need to do is find your item, and then scan the bar code with your mobile phone. The application handles the purchase, and so you can walk into a store, scan, and walk out with the item.

Myo Gesture-Control Armband could usher in an era of true motion-control
It seems like the future is going to give us motion capture on everything, and the Myo from Thalmic Labs is ready to embrace it. The Myo uses muscle activity and motion sensors in order to translate a movement. In case you don't believe that it could work, just move your fingers around, and you'll see muscles in your arm working too. The Myo is designed to read these … [Read more...] about Myo Gesture-Control Armband could usher in an era of true motion-control
My Review of the Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1 inch)
I realize that Samsung just unveiled their new Galaxy Note 8.0 and plan on unveiling the Galaxy S IV later next month. I figure that I might as well get around to reviewing the Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1 inches), as it was provided for me. I know that my youngest son thought he was looking at an iPad, and I have to admit that the charging cord looks like the 30-in connector that … [Read more...] about My Review of the Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1 inch)
Throne headphones from I-MEGO
I had a good encounter with I-MEGO back at CES, and I will have to say that they have some quality headphones. I was privileged to try out the Throne Gold. As you can see, the Throne has that gold look to it, and you have to admire how the cans resemble radio microphones from days past. That alone makes these pair of headphones very classy, and so does the real leather … [Read more...] about Throne headphones from I-MEGO
No Galaxy S IV announced at MWC, but there was an announcement of an announcement
Yeah, that Mobile World Congress thing is still going on, and, unless you're close to Barcelona (like me), you're probably missing it. There was a big talk about Samsung announcing the successor to Galaxy S III, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. As the confusing headline says, there is going to be an announcement on March 14th in New York. I'm not certain … [Read more...] about No Galaxy S IV announced at MWC, but there was an announcement of an announcement
Speck has cool covers for Samsung products
Some of you might remember when I covered Speck's MagFolio Luxe for the iPad, and I thought I would take some time to focus on other products from Speck, specifically from Samsung. I'll go ahead and start with the CandyShell for the Samsung Galaxy S III, which is my current favorite phone. It it advertised as a dual-layer, one-piece design. At first I wondered what this … [Read more...] about Speck has cool covers for Samsung products
LifeProof nüüd Case & Cover/Stand for the iPad
Since I reviewed the LifeProof fre case for the iPhone 5, I figured that I might as well write about the LifeProof nüüd Case & Cover/Stand for the iPad. Unlike the fre, I don't think I have any problem pronouncing this case. I am assuming that it is pronounced "nude", but there is nothing naked about your iPad when this is on. The construction is definitely minimal, as … [Read more...] about LifeProof nüüd Case & Cover/Stand for the iPad
