Right now, there is a big consumer electronics show known as Computex, and I hope that I will attend it someday. If I was there yesterday, I would have seen Asus unveil four new products. The first is the ZenBook 3, and ultralight ultrabook that weighs 910 grams with a 12.5 inches, and extremely thin bezel. It also has an aluminum alloy and also have an Intel Core i7 … [Read more...] about Asus Unveils ZenBook 3 Ultrabook at Three ZenFones at Computex

Speculative Fiction Saturday: American Hero
I was planning on reviewing a big blockbuster that I will probably review next week, but I found this film on Netflix and I decided to check it out. I'm not certain why I reviewed it, but it must be the month to review mediocre films that have "American" in the title. I honestly don't know what to think of this film. I mean, it is a superhero film, but we really have a … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: American Hero
Our Review of the Lumo Game
I'm going to have to say that I love Lumo. This game is a "classic isometric adventure with a modern twist", which means that it is some kind of puzzle/RPG game. As you can see from the image, there is a room here that looks to be part of a dungeon crawler game, and it is just suspended in space. I guess this is supposed to be an homage to games of the 80's and 90's, and … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Lumo Game
Our Review of the Evoluent VerticalMouse C
I often don't get a chance to review a lot of mice, but this particular one known as the Evoluent VerticalMouse C is most certainly worth writing about. You can see in the image that the thing looks like a shark fin or half the Rocketeer's helmet, but this shape is ergonomically built to hold your wrist. Apparently, using an ordinary mouse will twist your arm, but the … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Evoluent VerticalMouse C
OtterBox Universe Modular Case
I'm sure that you are aware of the name of Otterbox, who put out some of the most high quality of cases. Today, they even out-did themselves with the Universe Modular Case. The Universe is an iPhone case that hopefully will not just be for the iPhone. It gives the user the power to clip on two accessories at the same time. It uses two slots, with one at the bottom and … [Read more...] about OtterBox Universe Modular Case
Chewbacca Mask Lady Keeps the Internet Entertained for Good Reasons
By now, you've probably seen this video from Candace Payne, and it has made her a star overnight. I won't bother describing it, but it involves a woman who made a purchases a Chewbacca mask and tries it on behind the wheel. This woman isn't trying to advertise the product, but it is probably the best advertisement for this toy ever. What makes this work is how she is … [Read more...] about Chewbacca Mask Lady Keeps the Internet Entertained for Good Reasons
I Had to “Unfriend” Someone for the First Time Today
Wow, that title sounds like a song, doesn't it? I guess this is the sign of the times that we live in. I suppose that a lot of us use Facebook as an unofficial method for tracking what our friends from childhood, high school, college, and other bygone times are up to. Heck, I saw a friend of mine today IRL and wished them a happy birthday, so how would I have done that if … [Read more...] about I Had to “Unfriend” Someone for the First Time Today
Speculative Fiction Saturday: American Ultra
American Ultra is simply not a good movie, and I'm not certain whether it ever had the potential to be one. I'll try and explain several things that this film had working against it. First, the film has "American" in the title, this joins a very long list of films like American Beauty, American Psycho, American Pie, and so forth. For some reason, putting the adjective in … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: American Ultra
Everything Announced at Google I/O 2016
In case you haven't been paying attention this week, it would appear that Google had been having a big developers conference this week known as Google I/O. There was a lot of announcements going down, and this is just a few of them. For example, there was a preview of the Android N, the latest version of the operating system. This currently does not have a name of a … [Read more...] about Everything Announced at Google I/O 2016
Black and Decker Electric 3-in-1 Compact Mower
Okay, so all of you probably have lawns, and all of you have to mow them, and if you are like me, then you have some edge that is impossible to mow. This is why I was so glad that Black and Decker sent me that toolkit as well as this 6.5 Amp 12-inch Electric 3-in-1 Compact Mower. I will have to say that I never had any luck with the weed whackers that I have had in the … [Read more...] about Black and Decker Electric 3-in-1 Compact Mower
Active Edge Workout T-Shirt
Okay, I review a lot of products, but this is the first time that I have reviewed a shirt. Okay, there is one exception, like when I reviewed that shirt with the stainproof technology with Threadsmith Hydrophobic Nanotechnology. I was able to obtain one of these shirts, and I am currently wearing it right now. To me, it feels like a shirt, really. Yeah, of course I am … [Read more...] about Active Edge Workout T-Shirt
Our Review of the Beyerdynamic Custom Street Headphones
It's been a while since I reviewed the Beyerdynamic Custom Pro, and I guess I'm reviewing what looks to be a follow-up with the Custom Street. I'm going to start by telling you that I have no idea why it is called the "Custom Street". I suppose that if you were designing a street, you would have a lot of variations. In this case, the Custom Street has a lot of options, … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Beyerdynamic Custom Street Headphones
Our Review of the AfterShokz Bluez 2S
It has been a while since I have reviewed an Aftershokz product with the Bluez, and I am very pleased to try out the Bluez 2S. Today, I am going to talk about the difference. In all honesty, I don't really know, because I'm not a true audiophile, and I'm getting tired of saying that. The truth is that I love bone conduction, and I just can't understand why all … [Read more...] about Our Review of the AfterShokz Bluez 2S
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Ex Machina
It's been a while since I reviewed an actual speculative fiction movie on this site. I have no idea why, but part of it might be related to all of the animated shows that I have been watching lately. Whatever the case, I was pleased that I had a chance to watch Ex Machina. I heard that it was a good film, and it even won an award. Well, it won an Oscar for best visual … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Ex Machina
Our Hands-On Review of the BRAVEN BALANCE
It's been a while since we reviewed a decent BRAVEN product, and man, were we pleased to receive the BALANCE. The company has a reputation for making Bluetooth speakers that are durable and formidable, and this one is no exception. What you are seeing here is the wireless Bluetooth speaker that is pretty flat, which is why I chose this shot here as an image. There is a … [Read more...] about Our Hands-On Review of the BRAVEN BALANCE
