The Aud 5 High-Fidelity Speaker and Lightning Dock for the iPhone 5, from iLuv

July 24, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

iluv aud5a

I think that the day that Apple changed their 30-pin connector killed a lot of business of iPod/iPhone docks. There was a time when the iPod dock was big, but that Lightning connector sort of changed everything. Fortunately, iLuv, who has made some great products like the Mobicup, has the Aud 5. I was fortunate enough to try it out, and I have to say it put out a lot of … [Read more...] about The Aud 5 High-Fidelity Speaker and Lightning Dock for the iPhone 5, from iLuv

DiCAPac Waterproof Case for Smartphones

July 24, 2013 By Techno_Mark 1 Comment

Dicapac

I have reviewed waterproof cases for smartphones, like the Armor case for the Galaxy S III and the iPhone 5. Most of these cases are specialty cases made for a specific phone, but I like DiCAPac's approach. I had a chance to try out the WP-C1, and it is great because it is made for all kinds of phones. It works with a Ziploc top, and then two velcro locks. It was … [Read more...] about DiCAPac Waterproof Case for Smartphones

Volvo’s new crash-free technologies

July 23, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

It is interesting to see how automobile companies are trying to prevent accidents. Those back-up cameras are a good help, but Volvo is putting some very interesting features on their newest models, starting with their 2014 series. You can watch the video and see that it has pedestrian detection in darkness, which will cause the car to slow to a complete stop when a … [Read more...] about Volvo’s new crash-free technologies

renegade 17 pindot 1

I have reported on a lot of backpacks designed for tech before, like the Hercules Laptop Backpack and the Viz Air from Samsonite. I have discovered a new tech backpack company known as Ogio, and I like it a lot. This Renegade RSS 17 Laptop Backpack features a laptop compartment that is good for 15 to 17 inch models. There are also integrated foam panels made to keep … [Read more...] about Ogio Renegade RSS 17 Laptop Backpack

The Braven 855s is a tough Bluetooth Speaker

July 23, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

braven 855s

I have reviewed a lot of cool Bluetooth speakers in my time, and I have always wanted to review something from Braven. Yes, that is a hint to my friends who I know represent Braven. This is the 855s, and it is a 20 watt speaker that is aluminum-based, and it is "the world's most powerful rugged portable wireless speaker". When I say aluminum-based, I mean it has … [Read more...] about The Braven 855s is a tough Bluetooth Speaker

LEGO now has Back to the Future models

lego delorean playset

I don't know if you are familiar with Lego Cuusoo, but it is a site devoted to showing off Lego creations. Some of them get voted on, and become official toys for the number one building block company. Such was the case for the Back To The Future collection, and you can see the iconic time-traveling Delorean from all three movies. It looks like they have three separate … [Read more...] about LEGO now has Back to the Future models

Disney Research’s AIREAL brings tactile feedback to the Kinect

July 22, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

It seems like Disney Research is always working on something interesting, like a robot that can play catch. Now, they have created a device known as AIREAL (pronounce it like Ariel, the Little Mermaid) which brings haptic feedback to the Kinect. You heard me right. All that motion control that Kinect gives will soon have an element of touch to it. I case you are … [Read more...] about Disney Research’s AIREAL brings tactile feedback to the Kinect

Comic Con went down in San Diego, and here’s what went down

July 22, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Every year, geeks descend unto Comic Con in Sand Diego, and this is a pretty big event for comic-book lovers and other lovers of comic-book related media. In fact, Hollywood has realized how much movie-goers love comic-book related movies, and they are always there to promote all the stuff that will be released next summer. I have never been, but I am told they have a lot … [Read more...] about Comic Con went down in San Diego, and here’s what went down

Speculative Fiction Friday: Blade Runner, the classic sci-fi noir which I still don’t get

July 19, 2013 By Techno_Mark 1 Comment

blade runner 2 movie

I started Speculative Fiction Friday to celebrate some of my favorite speculative fiction films, as well as others that I find interesting. I have talked about ones that I didn't like, but I don't include Blade Runner in that category. I consider Blade Runner to be a good film, but not essentially one of my favorites. It is a landmark of a film whose influence can be … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Blade Runner, the classic sci-fi noir which I still don’t get

The Waka Waka Solar Charger plans to change the world

July 19, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

WakaWaka Solar Power Light and Charger

It isn't often that you see technology poised to essentially change the world. I have to admire the WakaWaka Solar Charger as the goal of its creators doesn't seem to be making money on useful technology, but helping out other countries. The WakaWaka Solar Charger isn't an idea that is new, because there are a lot of batteries for mobile devices that you can purchase on … [Read more...] about The Waka Waka Solar Charger plans to change the world

Zyroshell Phone Cradle

July 18, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Zyroshell

After reviewing the TYLT Capio Universal Car Mount, I am seeing a trend with the stands that I review. They seem to have some weird sticky stuff to put a phone on so it can hold it in place. This is the case of the Zyroshell, which is a cradle that can open up to rotate 180 degrees. You can then stick your phone or tablet on the circle of stickiness, and it holds about a … [Read more...] about Zyroshell Phone Cradle

I suppose that a lot of iPhone users want to be free of the tangle of earbuds, and if you don't want to invest in a pair of wireless headphones or earbuds, you might want to just get an amplifier. The Ampjacket from Kubxlab (I have no idea how to pronounce that) and it is a way to get some kickin' sound from your iPhone 5. All that is required is just attaching it to the … [Read more...] about Ampjacket turns up the sound for the iPhone

Litholo Hologram Kit, for making full-color holograms at home!

July 18, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Litholo Hologram Kits

I have always wondered why we haven't become a holographic society, like what we have seen in speculative fiction films like Star Wars and the like. The Litholo Hologram Kit could be a start of a new era. The Litholo Hologram Kit enables a user to create full-color holograms in such a way that is not as expensive as most that you see. I'm pretty certain that the hologram … [Read more...] about Litholo Hologram Kit, for making full-color holograms at home!
