I admit that I saw the Jibo a few weeks ago, and I just ignored it. Then I saw from my Source article what Jibo actually was, and I couldn't help but be impressed by it. Jibo is essentially a Siri or Google Voice with a head. Granted, its head is some weird triple jointed thing that is nothing but an eye. I have a difficult time describing it, so I just recommend going … [Read more...] about Jibo, the robot we have all been waiting for
Holy Grail Screen Protector is the Holy Grail of Screen Protectors
I honestly don't know how I could avoid writing a headline like that. The term "Holy Grail" really gets overused, but it is the perfect name for any product from a company known as Sir Lancelot's Armor. I'm sure that most of you have a screen protector on your smartphone, but if you don't, you should look into the Holy Grail. According to their website, this is one of … [Read more...] about Holy Grail Screen Protector is the Holy Grail of Screen Protectors
New iPhone and BlackBerry Strategies
We all want to see what the big smartphone companies are up to. Well, at least I want to see what Apple and BlackBerry is up to. As far as Apple goes, I have heard that we know when the new iPhone 6 will be unveiled. If you're willing to wait until September 9th, you will get to see the new features. This isn't a surprise, considering the new iPhone generally gets … [Read more...] about New iPhone and BlackBerry Strategies
Navdy is an interesting Heads-up Display for your car
Remember those days when people had stand-alone GPS devices in their cars? That all changed when people could get map apps on their smartphones. Unfortunately, these types of apps led to all kinds of distracted driving accidents, which leads to the now-obvious solution of the Navdy. The Navdy is a heads-up with a tiny projector on a 5.1 inch transparent screen. You can … [Read more...] about Navdy is an interesting Heads-up Display for your car
The VIZIO 2.1 Sound Stand
VIZIO has certainly made a name for itself in the television business, and they are at home in whatever entertainment center they are in. They have recently announced the 2.1 Sound Stand, which will allow a virtual sound experience with some good bass. I'm not certain how good the sound is, but it is made for places without too much space. It measures only 3 inches in … [Read more...] about The VIZIO 2.1 Sound Stand
My Review of the Samsung Galaxy S5
I've been with the Samsung Galaxy S3 for about a year and a half, and I had a brief fling with the Galaxy S4. I finally have upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S5, and I can honestly say that it is a worthy successor to the S5. This is not to say that the S4 was not good, but it was only a small step up from the S3. Of course, it is unusual for a new version of a phone to be a … [Read more...] about My Review of the Samsung Galaxy S5
Disney Tsum Tsum Game: A fad is made
I will tell you that as a parent, my kids probably watch way too much Disney channel. With some exceptions, I cannot stand the dumbed-down programming on this station. At least it doesn't have too many toy commercials. Anyway, I passed by one night, I saw an ad for a gaming app known as Tsum Tsum. Tsum Tsum (pronounced soom soom) is a very simple match-three game. I … [Read more...] about Disney Tsum Tsum Game: A fad is made
The Slingbox M1
One of the biggest problems with having cable television is you spend a lot of money to get quality programing, but you have to be home to watch it. Wouldn't it be terrific to have some way to watch all that TV that you paid for anywhere in the world? This is exactly what the Slingbox M1 can do. It promises "watch anywhere", which includes on your mobile devices or even … [Read more...] about The Slingbox M1
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Mr. Nobody
It seems that my Speculative Fiction Saturday has been doing "theme" months. One month, it was the films of Pixar, then the next month, it was the films of Terry Gilliam. I'm not certain what to call this month, I'm going to call it the 4 "I's" films. These films are independent (not backed by a major studio), innovative (not like films from a major studio), and inconsistent … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Mr. Nobody
iRig Voice from IK Multimedia
I have reviewed plenty of IK Multimedia products before, like the iRig PRO and the iRig HD Guitar Interface. I will have to say that I wasn't the audience for these products, but the iRig Voice is a microphone for a smartphone or tablet. Who wouldn't want an actual microphone for an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or other Android device? I believe that the iRig Voice is … [Read more...] about iRig Voice from IK Multimedia
The Jam Rewind Wireless Pocket Speaker
Normally, I don't show the packaging for the products that I review, but I couldn't resist this one. I realize that I am a day late for Throwback Thursday, but this packaging for this Jam Rewind Wireless Pocket Speaker looks just like an old-school cassette. Yes, we have come a long way since cassette tape was the way to listen to our tunes. That sound was, in … [Read more...] about The Jam Rewind Wireless Pocket Speaker
Check out LG’s Flexible 18-inch Display
Well, this is one time where words fail me, which is why I often just put a video here and just let the readers love it. This is exactly what you thinking it is: a bendable screen. This footage comes to us from LG, and it is an 18-inch OLED display. It has a resolution of 1200 x 910, and someone can just roll it up. Is this the way of televisions? Considering those … [Read more...] about Check out LG’s Flexible 18-inch Display
Review of Heroes and Legends: Conquerors of Kolhar
It seems like I am doing a lot of reviews of Steam Games, and this one from Phoenix Online is a lot better than I thought. Heroes and Legends: Conquerors of Kolhar might not be tied with any franchise that you have heard of, but I will be danged if the gameplay didn't draw me in. I'm not certain how to describe it, but it is mostly a Role-Playing Game, but with more … [Read more...] about Review of Heroes and Legends: Conquerors of Kolhar
Vision Protective Shield from Konnet Care
I will have to say that I like my job of testing out products, but there are times where I try them out and cannot see the effects. The Vision Protective Shield from Konnet Care is one of these products. The Vision Protective Shield stops a problem that you probably didn't know that you had. According to the official site: "numerous neuron research had evidently … [Read more...] about Vision Protective Shield from Konnet Care
Simplehuman Part 2: The Sensor Mirror
Now that I wrote about the Rechargeable Sensor Pump yesterday, I figure that I can cover another home accessory from Simplehuman, the Sensor Mirror. The Sensor Mirror is made of stainless steel, and it feels at home in any type of room. In front of the mirror is a sensor that will turn the ring of light on if you step in front of it, and yet somehow knows when to shut … [Read more...] about Simplehuman Part 2: The Sensor Mirror
