Some of you might remember the iRig PRO that I reviewed two weeks ago, and I had an opportunity to review what is probably the predecessor, the iRig HD. Well, it is the least expensive model, but we'll get to price later. I hate to say something that I have said before, but I will have to say that I am not the best person to review this product. This is not because I'm … [Read more...] about iRig HD Guitar Interface from IK Multimedia

NuGuard KX Kinetic Energy X-orbing Case and Screen Armor from NewerTech
Yes, I have reviewed a lot of iPhone 5/5S cases, and it is often difficult to say something new about them. NewerTech, a company that you may not have heard of, has also created one with the NuGuard Kinetic Energy X-orbing case and Screen Armor. The Kinetic Energy X-orbing case isn't like one of those harder iPhone 5 cases, and in my hand, it feels soft all around. The … [Read more...] about NuGuard KX Kinetic Energy X-orbing Case and Screen Armor from NewerTech
The Outdoor HD Wireless Network Cloud Camera from D-Link
Fresh off my review of the Wi-Fi Baby Camera from D-Link, today I'm going to talk about the Outdoor HD Wireless Network Cloud Camera. This is another product from D-Link which is similar. The Outdoor HD Wireless Network Cloud Camera is not made for the baby's room, but it is, in fact, made for the outdoors. It is made for a lucky thirteen, which means it is good for -13 … [Read more...] about The Outdoor HD Wireless Network Cloud Camera from D-Link
Stanford University has a video game controller that knows how the user feels
I think we all know that controllers like the Kinect can "see" you and allow you to manipulate them via gesture controls. Is it any wonder that Stanford University is developing controllers to sense the user's...feelings? Seriously, that is what is happening. Apparently, these controllers can sense how fast the heart is beating, as well as how much oxygen is in the … [Read more...] about Stanford University has a video game controller that knows how the user feels
Say goodbye to Windows XP
Did you know that 75 percent of ATM machines still use Windows XP? Speaking of Windows XP, Microsoft will no longer support this 13-year-old operating system, even though it is the No. 2 operating system. Okay, that is enough surprising statistics. Microsoft will not be providing any patches or updates against viruses. Many fear that this will make Windows XP machines … [Read more...] about Say goodbye to Windows XP
My Spiroo is a mobile device to help asthmatics
I am not someone who has asthma, but I can imagine that it is not good to have. Those afflicted with it must use a tool known as a flow meter in order to see how much air is passing through the lungs. My Spiroo has figured out a way to make this mobile with a peak flow meter that can connect to a smartphone's headphone jack. With this device, you can get measurements on … [Read more...] about My Spiroo is a mobile device to help asthmatics
Yahoo and Microsoft coming up with their own shows
Remember when it was just the three networks giving you your favorite shows? Yeah, that was before Fox, and I still remember that time. Now, two major companies are planning to give us content. I'm not talking about Hulu, Amazon, and Netflix. I'm sure you already know about awesome shows over there, but now Yahoo and Microsoft is getting in on the act. Yahoo is … [Read more...] about Yahoo and Microsoft coming up with their own shows
Will.i.am working on a new smartwatch
One of the things that I like about will.i.am is not only is he one of the Black-Eyed Peas, but he's really into tech. I remember a while ago that he was creating a case for the iPhone, one that would make Apple's phone would look like a camera. Now, will.i.am is working on a smartwatch. It is true that almost every company is working on a smartwatch, but his is … [Read more...] about Will.i.am working on a new smartwatch
Brazucam is a camera in a soccer ball
With the FIFA World Cup coming up, I would imagine that there are going to be a lot interesting products associated with that. This is what is called the Brazucam, and it involves six cameras put into one soccer ball. This is a 360-degree view of all the action on the soccer field, and I honestly don't really see a reason for it. Seriously, there is a video at my Source, … [Read more...] about Brazucam is a camera in a soccer ball
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Starship Troopers
I got to admit that I may be running out of speculative fiction films to review, and I am surprised that I haven't got around to this one. So let's start this review with an analysis of the title. What do you honestly think a film about Starship Troopers would be about? If you think this is some escapist thing that is a cross between G.I. Joe and Star Trek, you would be dead … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Starship Troopers
The D-Link Wi-Fi Baby Camera (DCS-825L)
I haven't been a new parent for over 10 years, but I believe that it practically a requirement to have a baby monitor with video now. The D-Link Wi-Fi Baby Camera is certainly all that, and more. I've reviewed D-Link products before, and they are the ones that you want when you have anything Internet related. I had a chance to try out their AC-1750 Router, twice. The … [Read more...] about The D-Link Wi-Fi Baby Camera (DCS-825L)
Volkswagen shows off futurisitc concept car on viral video
I always like seeing where the future of automobiles is headed, especially when the concept car looks nothing like a car. This is especially true of this viral video from Volkswagen, by a student by Wang Jia. This particular concept car requires levitation, which means that this video used a lot of special effects. There is from Chengdu, which has a lot of natural … [Read more...] about Volkswagen shows off futurisitc concept car on viral video

Every year I go to CES and see a company known as Kicker. They are usually in the place where the automotive accessories are located, because they are best known for their automotive stereo kickers. Okay, they don't really have a product called the Kicker, but I had a chance to try out the Cypher. The Cypher are some great earbuds that have 7mm drivers for deep bass and … [Read more...] about It’s the Cypher, from Kicker!
