Perhaps you might be feeling a little like the old-school Rockwell/Michael Jackson hit about "I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me" after you read this. As if I didn't have enough to fear with North Korea threatening the United States with nukes, I now have something new to horrify me with the hackers using Remote Administration Tools to hack into my webcam. Yes, it … [Read more...] about Webcam Hacking: Is someone watching me?

Walhub makes it possible to store stuff on the wall
You really have to think outside of the box when it comes to creating a new product. Sometimes, all you have to do is just think about what someone actually needs and what they have to spare. In the case of the Walhub, it takes the space that is normally unused around the light switch and changes it into something that you need. You can see in the image that there are … [Read more...] about Walhub makes it possible to store stuff on the wall
Hercules Laptop Backpack K7102
I have reported on products from ECBC before, like the cool rolling luggage that is also a power supply, coming this summer. Fortunately, you can get the Hercules Laptop Backpack K7102 right now.

Jabra Vox Earbuds
I always like Jabra's products, and this company is usually known for its Bluetooth headsets. The Jabra Vox is a pair of wired earbuds, which might seem rather pedestrian and ordinary, but it is not. The Jabra Vox has, on its box, a subtitle of "Massive Sound". I generally don't try to blow my ears off with earbuds, but the company has worked with Dolby to bring some … [Read more...] about Jabra Vox Earbuds
Speculative Fiction Friday: Looper
I've seen a lot of time travel movies before, and they usually boil down to "we have to stop some bad event that happened in the past so we can save our future, which is actually the present". You have to suspend your disbelief a lot to believe in time travel, and you had to do it even more in Looper. Looper is based on the belief that time travel is here, but it won't be … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Looper
Samsung Galaxy S IV unveiled
Okay, I think we all knew that this was happening, but Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S IV today. The Samsung head JK Shin introduced it with a huge amount of drama. I am in the process of listening to the Live blog, but here is what I know so far. It weighs at 130 grams and is 7.9 mm thick, and it looks a lot like the Galaxy S III. This one has a 5.0 inch display HD super … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy S IV unveiled
Try not to worry about these biometric sensors directly on the skin
Several of you know that my site recently has had technical problems, and this is the reason why I currently can't make a link to an article that is more than a few days old. I was able to look at my old works, and I believe one of my first articles was Why Christians are Afraid of Technology, which I can't seem to get back on the site. On that post, I was talking about … [Read more...] about Try not to worry about these biometric sensors directly on the skin
LG Optimus G Pro gets Eye Tracking before the Samsung Galaxy S IV
Today is the day that Samsung is unveiling the Samsung Galaxy S IV, and I have heard a rumor about it that I am just going to assume is true. I'll probably know in a few hours, but LG is also planning on having this feature on the Optimus G Pro. The feature in question is eye-tracking, and LG beat Samsung to the punch, a day early. I had heard that Samsung's eye-tracking … [Read more...] about LG Optimus G Pro gets Eye Tracking before the Samsung Galaxy S IV
Billboard in Lima gives fresh water
I remember back in the first Star Wars movie, where we find out that Luke Skywalker lived in a moisture farm? I have not idea if moisture farms are real, but his farm on Tatooine can somehow pull water out of the air. When I was a kid, I thought that was just creative science fiction, and maybe we didn't have that technology back in 1977. This particular billboard … [Read more...] about Billboard in Lima gives fresh water
Roli Seaboard takes synthesized music to the next level
I think most of us have one of those synthesizer keyboards in our home, and maybe we use it often, even if it is just for fun. The Roli Seaboard, that's right, Seaboard, is ready to take it to the next level. You know how most synthesizers need to have knobs turned and such just to produce interesting sound? The Seaboard has a rubberized surface so you essentially bend … [Read more...] about Roli Seaboard takes synthesized music to the next level
SPARK allows kids to play with Lego-type vehicles that they can ride
I don't know if you are familiar with Quirky.com, but they have a site where users vote on which inventions should come into the market. They have recently spotlighted a construction set known as SPARK, and it is a construction set like LEGO, but better. You see, SPARK is giant sized, so not only can kids create vehicles out of the construction kit, but they can ride … [Read more...] about SPARK allows kids to play with Lego-type vehicles that they can ride
Review of the Sprint Force
Man, it was difficult to title this review "Use the Sprint Force". I guess I don't realize how many non-Star Wars related jokes there are associated with the word "force". I had a chance to try out the Sprint Force, and I will have to say that it is now currently an entry-level phone. I remember when entry-level phones were clamshells that just had cameras, if you were … [Read more...] about Review of the Sprint Force
My Review of the Lumia 920 and Windows 8
I have been wanting to try out Nokia's Lumia 920 for a while, as I have been wanting to try out a Windows 8 phone. I suppose that I like all those Windows 8 ads with Gwen Stefani and Jessica Alba, and want to see how well it can work for me. Let me talk about the phone first. It has a 4.5 inch screen, and on the inside it has a Snapdragon S4 processor with dual-core 1.5 … [Read more...] about My Review of the Lumia 920 and Windows 8
SmartFitty Advanced Smartwatch
I can't help but wonder if we are heading into some era of the smartwatch, as there have been a lot of news from the big Apple about how they are developing a smartwatch of some kind. Right now, the smartwatch market isn't too big. I know that I recently reported on the Mio Alpha watch, which links to a phone via Bluetooth for fitness apps. The SmartFitty smartwatch is … [Read more...] about SmartFitty Advanced Smartwatch
We are experiencing some technical difficulties at The Geek Church!
In case you haven't noticed, you will notice that most of the articles after this one are old. We are talking 2009 old. In tech terms, that is like thirty years ago. Trust me, this is not on purpose, and I'm not going for some month-early April Fool's Joke. So what happened? Well, I had me a problem with some of my WordPress plug-ins. It has to do with all these cool … [Read more...] about We are experiencing some technical difficulties at The Geek Church!
