I have reviewed Divoom products before, like the Solo Bluetooth speaker and the Bean. The Voombox Travel is a pretty interesting piece to add to Divoom's collection, and I had a chance to see how awesome it was for myself. I had an easy time connecting this Bluetooth 4.0 product to my smartphone, and the sound had a passive radiator with 2 inch driver and 2 inch passive … [Read more...] about Divoom Voombox, travel-sized!
Control this Game with just your voice
I have talked about that perhaps we are hitting a creative barrier with video games. I mean, video games are all about what can happen with current controllers, unless they can see how you feel. I remember that when the Kinect came out, the big advertising campaign said: "You are the controller". Imagine a game that involves just your voice as a controller. This is what … [Read more...] about Control this Game with just your voice
The simpleDock from Kanex
When it comes to making devices simple, Kanex is very good at it. Recently, I just reviewed the Multi-Sync keyboard that allows a quick transition between iPad, iPhone, and Mac. Now I have had a chance to review the simpleDock, which is a 3-Port USB 3.0 Hub, Gigabit Ethernet, and Charging Valet. I might not have some of the commas right in that last sentence, but this … [Read more...] about The simpleDock from Kanex
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Guild
I know that I usually spend this time talking about things that are basically speculative fiction, but if you think about it, isn't everything speculative in some way? After all, most stories that you read never happened, or are embellished enough so they are not accurate? The Guild is one those shows that I thought was gong to go one way, but completely went in a more … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Guild
Micro M3D 3-D printer is so far the cheapest
Okay, I know that this headline promises a cheap 3D printer, and the Micro M3D is one. The problem is, you can't buy it for it's original $199 price right now. You see, the M3D was put on Kickstarter and made its $50,000 goal in less than 15 minutes. I don't know if that is a Kickstarter record, but that is really frickin' fast. I guess people liked the idea of $199 … [Read more...] about Micro M3D 3-D printer is so far the cheapest
iRig HD Guitar Interface from IK Multimedia
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
