In case you are wondering, I believe that the proper pronunciation of this film's title, is "Simone", like the name. This isn't the name of the film's main character, because the Simone character in this film isn't real. Besides, Al Pacino is over the title, so you know he's the main character. Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me get to the plotline of this film. … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: S1m0ne
The ChargeKey by Nomad
I am pretty familiar with the Chargecard. I first saw it at CES 2013, and I believe it was nothing more than a Kickstarter project then. I am pleased to see that it has now developed into the ChargeKey, which works for the iPhone 5/5S/5C, Lightning iPad, and iPad Mini. The ChargeKey, as its name suggests, is about the size of a key. It is a charging cord, and it is not … [Read more...] about The ChargeKey by Nomad
LG and Sony planning to unveil smartwatches?
Even though I was against smartwatches before, I am now starting to like them since my review of the Galaxy Gear. I have been hearing for a while that Apple is working on it own version of the smartwatch, and here is a another surprise, LG and Sony are apparently working on smartwatches as well. The one that LG is working on could be the G Arch, and it could be related to … [Read more...] about LG and Sony planning to unveil smartwatches?
Cubli robot cube can “jump, balance, and walk”
Okay, the Cubli is definitely the Christmas gift that you didn't get yesterday, but you probably can't buy it now. I put a video of the Cubli here because it is just very cool. Developed by researchers at ETH Zurich's Institute Systems and Control, it has three spinning motors that will spin in order to gain some kind of angular momentum for balance. I believe that there … [Read more...] about Cubli robot cube can “jump, balance, and walk”
Grippity Android tablet allows double-sided control
Grippity Doo-Dah, Grippity Ay! My oh my, what a way to input your...okay, this intro isn't working. However, I like the Grippity, which is an Android tablet which stands out from all the other Android tablets out there. Considering all the other Android tablets out there, that is saying a lot. You see, the Grippity has double control thanks to a back control. The … [Read more...] about Grippity Android tablet allows double-sided control
Holiday list for Christmas 2013
Today's post, and only post for the holidays, will be simply a summary of things you can buy for the holiday. It is made for those last-minute shoppers, or for those who did their shopping too late. They are in the order of when I reviewed. For those that want a new phone, Galaxy S Note 3! I like that Galaxy S IV, too. You might want to hold it with an Armpocket … [Read more...] about Holiday list for Christmas 2013
Up comes alive with No More Woof
Okay, lately the Disney channel has been showing Up, and I highly recommend watching this surreal flick if you haven't seen it yet. The film has just enough unbelievability, but not so much that it alienates the viewer. I know that the main character's house could probably not be held aloft by that number of balloons, but I'm willing to pardon that. What I enjoy is when the … [Read more...] about Up comes alive with No More Woof
Optimus Popularis Keyboard: A keyboard of screens
If you have never heard of Art Lebedev, then you really should have. His company, or studio, has put out a lot of cool stuff, and this includes the Optimus Maximus. I first saw the Maximus years ago, and it is essentially a keyboard where each key is a programmable screen. That's right, I am talking about a keyboard full of screens. There are about 77 keys that are … [Read more...] about Optimus Popularis Keyboard: A keyboard of screens
BMW creates a new Key Fob standard
BMW is putting out a hybrid car known as the i8, and it plans to be quite a car. So what better for a better-than-average car than a way-better-than-average key fob? The Key Fob for this car has a hug resemblance to a smartphone. Not only it will enable the user to open the doors, trunk, and everything else key fobs do, but this has an LCD display. This display will … [Read more...] about BMW creates a new Key Fob standard
Samsung to unveil the largest curved screen at CES 2014
For some reason, there appears to be some odd trend towards curved screens. In smartphones, LG has the Flex, and Samsung has the GALAXY ROUND. I suppose that it just makes sense to have televisions with curved screens, and Samsung has them. At least, they will have one at CES 2014. If you aren't familiar with CES, it is a big electronics trade show that happens every … [Read more...] about Samsung to unveil the largest curved screen at CES 2014
Speculative Fiction Saturday, Holiday Edition: Rise of the Guardians
Last year, I reviewed The Fifth Element at Christmas-time, and this year, I am going to focus on a film that is more traditionally holiday themed. After all, Rise of the Guardians has Santa Claus in it. I first saw Rise of the Guardians last summer, and it is a film that I believe surpasses the seasons. If you don't know the premise, it is that Santa Claus, the Sandman, … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday, Holiday Edition: Rise of the Guardians
Galaxy Note 3 Review
Okay, you might remember when I discussed the Armpocket i-35 armband, and how it can hold the Galaxy Note 3. This was important to me because I wanted to try it out for myself. Let me start by saying that the Galaxy Note 3 is so feature-rich that I can't possibly describe them all. I will try to summarize the features by saying that it is really helpful to have a … [Read more...] about Galaxy Note 3 Review
On second thought, I do want a Galaxy Gear!
I know that I have been very negative about smartwatches in the past. Yeah, I had that message/post to Samsung a while ago, but I had a chance to finally try out the Galaxy Gear for myself. I am not certain whether I like the idea of talking into my watch, but it really is about time that we got on it, after decades of science-fiction depictions. Now, talking to the … [Read more...] about On second thought, I do want a Galaxy Gear!
Samsung Galaxy GamePad
It really is odd to see this GamePad, when I have actually written about two products with that name. One by ARCHOS and another by ibenX. Apparently, there was this product unveiled at the Galaxy S4 unveiling, but I don't remember seeing it. This is the Galaxy GamePad from Samsung, and it can handle devices that run Jellybean, which includes smartphones and tablets. … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy GamePad
Bric+ Case gives a battery and lens to the iPhone
I have seen a lot of cases for the iPhone which give the user to double his or her battery life, and the Bric+ Case is another to add to the mix. This particular one is a Kickstarter project, and it has a lot of cool stuff going for it. The Bric+ Case allows for 2.5 times more than the original battery, and it has an Li-on battery built into this protective case. This is … [Read more...] about Bric+ Case gives a battery and lens to the iPhone
