I realize that Amazon has that one-click purchase, but I don't think some users think it is fast enough. Generally, there is a confirmation click after that. Okay, so you saw the headline, and you can see that the microblogging company is interested in making a "Buy" button. They want to do this with a company known as Stripe, a payments startup. This means that if you … [Read more...] about Press “Buy” to purchase on Twitter?
Jokari Soda Bottle Fizz Keeper Pump
Is it just me, or do some of the most delicious foods have a real short lifespan. McDonalds French Fries only last fifteen minutes before they become what I call "cold sticks of death". Soda bottles that you open up and close again are good for about one day before it just turns flat. However, if you had the Jokari Soda Bottle Fizz Keeper Pump, you can keep the bubbles … [Read more...] about Jokari Soda Bottle Fizz Keeper Pump
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Synecdoche, New York
This next film is keeping with the monthly theme of the 4 "I's", which you can read about on the first review of the month, Mr. Nobody. I realize that I took a detour with my review of What Dreams May Come, but I still felt that it fit within my 4 "I's" standards, and it was an interesting representation with the recent death of Robin Williams. Today, I'll be looking at … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Synecdoche, New York
Is Noke really the first Bluetooth padlock?
In case you missed it, I did phrase the title of this post in the form of a question. The reason why is because I was surprised that the FUZ Designs has created the Noke, which is apparently the first Bluetooth padlock. I have seen a lot of Bluetooth products that seem almost counter-intuitive to Bluetooth. I have seen door locks before, but I suppose a padlock is pretty … [Read more...] about Is Noke really the first Bluetooth padlock?
Sharp Aquos new Sprint phone
Sharp Aquos has a new smartphone that they announced today that could start a new standard with smartphones. Why? It has almost no bezel. Seriously, it is a 5-inch 720p edge-to-edge display. My Source seems to compare this science fiction devices, and maybe it is the lack of bezel that does it. This Aquos has Android 4.2.2 KitKat and has a gesture-based screenshot known … [Read more...] about Sharp Aquos new Sprint phone
Skeebloo, an application for Internet addicts
I would imagine that there is some medical term for those who are addicted to the Internet, and I am not certain how many people in my own household would be diagnosed with it. For those that believe they are Net-addicts, there is now Skeebloo. So, what is Skeebloo? Well, it is an application that blocks the Internet. How does it do that? Well, it has LAN/Internet … [Read more...] about Skeebloo, an application for Internet addicts
VidaDoo Part 2: Rechargeable Electric Wine Opener and Tabletop Chiller
It looks like we are in another Part 2, which means that I am reviewing more than one type of product that has been sent to me. In this case, it is the Concord Keystone owned company VidaDoo, and these two products I am reviewing today are wine-related. I'll start with the Rechargeable Electric Wine Opener. This is essentially a wine opener that is electric to bore … [Read more...] about VidaDoo Part 2: Rechargeable Electric Wine Opener and Tabletop Chiller
Night Trap returns, this time for the Nintendo
Well, Kickstarter is often a place to get crowdfunding for games, and I suppose it was only a matter of time before Night Trap was revived. If you aren't familiar with Night Trap, it was a very controversial game of its time due to its violence. Actually, one of the only violent scenes is at the beginning, when a woman is attacked in the shower by blood-sucking zombies. … [Read more...] about Night Trap returns, this time for the Nintendo
VidaDoo Review, Part 1: The Rechargeable Portable LED Work Light
I had a chance to work with Concord Keystone Trading with their VidaDoo products, and I am now reviewing...a flashlight. Okay, its official title is Portable LED Work Light, and even though most would call it a flashlight, it is so much more. This is a flashlight that you charge using the included AC Adaptor. It has a work-light on the side and then a flashlight on the … [Read more...] about VidaDoo Review, Part 1: The Rechargeable Portable LED Work Light
Nike unveils a LED basketball court in China
What you are about to see in this video could be the future of sports. If you think that all the product plugs and advertisements are over-abundant now, you should see a basketball floor that is one big LED screen. This wasn't used on an actual basketball game, but a training in China hosted by the one-and-only Kobe Bryant. You can see that the floor can follow a player, … [Read more...] about Nike unveils a LED basketball court in China
Arkon Product Day: Slim-Grip Ultra Windshield, 12-inch C-Clamp Mount for iPad Air, Sticky Suction Windshield Desk Mount, and Camera or Video Camera Mount
I think it has been a while since I reviewed some Arkon some products, and they make a lot of mounts and accessories for smartphones and tablets. You know, for when you need to put your smartphone or tablet in your car. Today I am going to look at four of them. Let's start with the SM679, the Slim-Grip Ultra Sticky Suction Windshield or Dashboard Car Mount. I've … [Read more...] about Arkon Product Day: Slim-Grip Ultra Windshield, 12-inch C-Clamp Mount for iPad Air, Sticky Suction Windshield Desk Mount, and Camera or Video Camera Mount
Speculative Fiction Saturday: What Dreams May Come
I realize that talking about this film is a departure from my theme this month. That is, the theme of 4 i's (independent, innovative, inconsistent, and in-compassing a lifetime). What Dreams May Come is probably not an independent film, but it is quite innovative, quite inconsistent, and it does encompass a life. And yes, the only reason why I'm reviewing this film now is … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: What Dreams May Come
BioSports Earbuds, a Fitness Tracker that needs no batteries
SMS Audio recently partnered with Intel in order to create the BioSport In-Ear headphones. Why Intel inside? Because these headphones can do what a fitness band can do, but without charging. Somehow these headphones can track the user's heart rate. It can also take this information and pass it through the audio jack and pass it through a smartphone to be used on an app … [Read more...] about BioSports Earbuds, a Fitness Tracker that needs no batteries
Gauge by Neko Entertainement, a game of wits?
I've been reviewing a lot of games on Steam lately, and most of them have been RPG or turn-based games such as Quest for Infamy or Heroes and Legends: Commanders of Kolhar. This game Gauge was not at all what I expected. I've already talked about the simplicity of mobile games in my review of Disney's Tsum Tsum. It's very interesting to see how the mobile revolution has … [Read more...] about Gauge by Neko Entertainement, a game of wits?
Spigen makes iPhone 6 cases readily available
If there is one company that usually knows how to keep secrets before its release, it is Apple. They are going to announce the new version of the iPhone early next month, and generally I'm constantly trying to see if the cases of the predecessor will fit the latest model. A Korean company known as Spigen says that they have the latest version of the iPhone's cover with … [Read more...] about Spigen makes iPhone 6 cases readily available
