I first saw the Proximo at CTIA, but I was a little confused about how it works. I managed to get a chance to try it out, and I found it completely needed. Proximo is an App-enabled monitoring system. This means that you can take these fobs and use your iPhone to keep tabs on them. You see the fob with the button? Say you can't find your iPhone, so you can just push a … [Read more...] about Kensington presents the Proximo Starter Kit

Sony and Microsoft put their best foot forward at E3
Now that E3 is about to wrap up soon, depending on when this posts. We should talk about what the big console companies announced at the biggest video game convention of the year. The Wii U is already out, and I suppose there is only a few new games that I look forward to like Super Mario World 3D. But Sony has the PS4 coming out this Christmas, and Xbox One is also … [Read more...] about Sony and Microsoft put their best foot forward at E3
Samsung announces the Galaxy S4 Zoom
Just so I can get the disclaimer out of the way, I received the Galaxy S4 Zoom press release this morning, but the picture is from some other source, so it isn't really official. The Galaxy S4 Zoom is something that I thought I would see eventually, and it is a smartphone that really can be used as a camera. Yes, practically every smartphone has a camera these days, but … [Read more...] about Samsung announces the Galaxy S4 Zoom
Mad Catz unveils M.O.J.O. Android gaming console
Well, there a lot video game announcements at E3, and I personally think that a new console is pretty big news. In this case, this one runs on Android. This is starting to become common, as we have discussed the i.Console.tv recently. Mad Catz, who makes a lot of terrific video game accessories, wants to throw its hat in the console ring with the M.O.J.O. micro console. … [Read more...] about Mad Catz unveils M.O.J.O.

My Review of the Epishock “Music Survival Kit”
One of the problems with reviewing products is that you tend to see the same product over and over. I am not trying to say that Origaudio's Epishock is a product that is as common as say, an iPhone 5 case, but I have seen it before. So what? I watch a lot of television that I have seen before in some form or the other. The Epishock is a tiny speaker that uses some kind … [Read more...] about My Review of the Epishock “Music Survival Kit”
Sony unveils the Playroom for PS4
I remember years ago, I attended a video game conference and saw EyePet for the first time. It was an augmented reality program where you create a pet and play with it on the screen. You can read that one here, back when I was writing for Hubpages. At E3 this year, Sony showed off its augmented reality game made for the upcoming PS4. This is the Playroom, which uses … [Read more...] about Sony unveils the Playroom for PS4
Samsung announces the Galaxy Ace 3
Just to let you know, this has nothing to do with the Galaxy S 3. Yes, that has already been updated. This is the Galaxy Ace 3, and it is a smartphone "that intends to bring a slew of features from the higher end models onto a package that would be easy on your pocket in terms of finances and size". The cost is TBA, but the screen size is a 4-inch WVGA TFT LCD. The … [Read more...] about Samsung announces the Galaxy Ace 3
Livin’ on the M-Edge or Our devices, our cases
I have reported on M-EDGE products before, like the Modular Method Portfolio or others. Right now, M-EDGE puts out so many products now, I have a hard time reviewing them all. The company has done a great job supplying me with them, and I recently saw a lot of their products at CTIA. I might as well be blunt and say that I am writing this article because I like them so … [Read more...] about Livin’ on the M-Edge or Our devices, our cases
WWDC 2013 shows off iOS 7
This is going to be a pretty interesting week. WWDC 2013, Apple's Worldwide Developers' Conference, is getting all Macheads in a great frenzy, and E3, the world's biggest video games conference, should be more than enough for all gamers. WWDC has announced iOS7, and I find it odd that there will not be a new version of the iPhone this year. At least, it doesn't look like … [Read more...] about WWDC 2013 shows off iOS 7
The Dropcam HD gives you an extra eye
I have seen a lot of cameras designed for baby monitoring and other places where you might need a camera. Dropcam HD is designed to just set up quickly so you can monitor from everywhere. I first saw the Dropcam at CES over a year ago, and I was promised a review unit back then. It has only been this week when I finally got one. Well, you can imagine my excitement when … [Read more...] about The Dropcam HD gives you an extra eye
Eagle Trilogy, Part 3: Bluetooth Mini Keyboard with Speakerphone
Okay, I am finishing the Eagle Trilogy, and it is all about the Bluetooth. You can read about the Folding headset here and then those other Bluetooth speakers. So it is appropriate that I end this with Bluetooth Mini Keyboard with Speakerphone. Now, just to let you know, this keyboard is not the size of a regular laptop or computer keyboard. I found that it was about … [Read more...] about Eagle Trilogy, Part 3: Bluetooth Mini Keyboard with Speakerphone
Control a Quadrocopter with your mind
I have been hearing about mind control for years. I'm not talking about some kind of hypnotism or Manchurian Candidate stuff, I am talking about these caps you can put on that allow for some kind of control by thought waves. In the case of this quadrocopter, a project at University of Minnesota led by Bin He allows a man with a skullcap take control of its movement. … [Read more...] about Control a Quadrocopter with your mind
Eagle Trilogy, Part 2: Bluetooth Speaker System
Well, if you missed the first portion of my Eagle Trilogy with the Foldable Bluetooth Headset...tough! No, seriously, you can read it here. Ah, I love Internet reporting. It's just instant gratification! This is another Bluetooth product, and these are bigger than most Bluetooth speakers that I normally review. Most of them are small, designed to just give the MP3 player … [Read more...] about Eagle Trilogy, Part 2: Bluetooth Speaker System
Speculative Fiction Friday: The Cabin in the Woods
Most people would call The Cabin in the Woods a horror film, but there is enough far out elements to classify it as speculative fiction. I realize that is a spoiler, but I would have to say that The Cabin in the Woods is more a parody of horror films. As a Christian, I don't think I can really recommend horror movies. In many cases, I put them on a level a little above … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: The Cabin in the Woods
My Review of the ATC Chameleon by Oregon Scientific
I always like reviewing cameras like the Liquid Image Ego or other cameras like the one Go Pro puts out. The ATC Chameleon from Oregon Scientific does what those cameras do, twice as well. Yes, that is a play-on word, because it is able to film both the front and back. When you play the video back, you will see the two films that you made side-by-side. It's pretty cool, … [Read more...] about My Review of the ATC Chameleon by Oregon Scientific
