I know that Google is a huge company, and they probably buy up a lot of small companies daily. Man, I don't know if I will ever understand this kind of living. I have recently heard that the big G has purchased Boston Dynamics. If you haven't heard of Boston Dynamics, they make robots. I often report on them because their robots look very cool, like the Wildcat. … [Read more...] about Google acquires Boston Dynamics
US Largest E-Waste Polluter, and we should not be surprised
I think that we all have seen the ad for Virgin Mobile's iPhone availability, and I can't stand it. Not only is it not funny, it just encourages people to be wasteful. Even though there is a disclaimer on the ad saying not to do this, it feels like we should just laugh at a huge problem of e-waste. Okay, I have just learned that the United States leads the world in … [Read more...] about US Largest E-Waste Polluter, and we should not be surprised
Drumpants allow you play drums anywhere
I have a daughter who loves to do that whole hambone thing where she just slaps her legs to get a tune. I'm sure that she isn't the only one, so this is why I am glad there is the Drumpants. The Drumpants are Bluetooth-enabled pair of sensor strips that give the user the ability to use 100 different musical sounds. All that is required is to slap the strip in the right … [Read more...] about Drumpants allow you play drums anywhere
Nomad Mini 2 Paintbrush/Stylus
I have reviewed a lot of styluses, or whatever the plural of that word is. Most recently was that Virtuoso by Kensington. I was pretty excited to review the Nomad Mini 2, which is both a stylus and a paintbrush. I have seen paintbrushes for the touchscreens before, and I like how it is retractable. Yeah, all you need to do is just twist it, and those bristles are the … [Read more...] about Nomad Mini 2 Paintbrush/Stylus
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Tuxedo, pretty much one of the worst movies ever
I have reviewed films here that I just don't like, but I would have to say that The Tuxedo is interesting, because it is easily one of the worst films that I paid to see in the theater. Yes, it is a stretch to say that anything is one of the worst movies ever, but I won't say it is the worst movie ever. I should have saw it coming when the film opens with a shot of a … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Tuxedo, pretty much one of the worst movies ever
Willie Bus could be the transportation of the future
This is what is called the Willie Bus, and I am not certain why in the world it is called that, but it really is the bus of the future. Apparently, this is a bus that has a frame that can be specifically contorted shapes, which is apparently turning that bus into one giant screen. Now in all honesty, I wonder why buses don't do this already. I don't know if it is because … [Read more...] about Willie Bus could be the transportation of the future
Blynk Camera from Lyfeshot
What you are seeing here is the Blynk, a very special camera from Lyfeshot. If you haven't heard of it, then perhaps you will hear of it as people are beginning to realize that all life is precious and it must be preserved with the power of technology. The Blynk is a camera that you can clip on your your clothes and it takes time-lapse pictures. It shoots only certain … [Read more...] about Blynk Camera from Lyfeshot
WiTrack is the ultimate in smarthomes
I have to admit that this particular WiTrack, a 3D motion sensor for tracking a person inside a house. I suppose it can describe as a Kinect for a whole house, and I like that. The WiTrack uses a 3D motion sensor that uses radio waves instead of Wi-Fi, and the tracking has a lower latency that can track the motions in 3D from all over the house. This allows it to see … [Read more...] about WiTrack is the ultimate in smarthomes
Divoom Bluetune Bean
I have reviewed a lot of Bluetooth Speakers, and I remember there was a while where I was reviewing one either every day or week. I have reviewed the Bluetune Solo before from Divoom, and I admire the Bluetune Bean. The Bean is a pocket sized speaker that has a clip on design thanks to the metal carabineer belt loop, that is presumably for a belt buckle. It can connect … [Read more...] about Divoom Bluetune Bean
Prepare for the Valkyrie robot!
It really is hard to believe that we have a robot in space, the Robonaut. I have no idea how well this robot is doing its job, but this particular robot, a product of DARPA Robotics Challenge, has created the Valkyrie. Now I have to say that the Valkyrie is the super robot, as the video above introduces. It does feel like a robot pulled from a science fiction book or … [Read more...] about Prepare for the Valkyrie robot!
Armpocket i-35 Armband
I have reviewed Armpocket products before, like when I reviewed the Nighthawk. They are designed to fit on the arm with a strap. I finally got a chance to try out the i-35, and this is because I finally had a chance to try out the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. (More on that later.) The i-35 is designed for the larger phones, like the amazing popular Galaxy S4. The reason why I … [Read more...] about Armpocket i-35 Armband
Swann Quad Starship
Well, I seem to have two things that attract me to this subject matter. First, it is from Swann, and I have had the opportunity to review two of their products very recent. The first was the SwannEye HD and the Doorphone Video Intercom. Then there was announcement that Amazon made the other day that drones could be delivering your stuff. Swann has made this Quad Starship … [Read more...] about Swann Quad Starship
Olloclip Macro 3-in-1 Photo Lens for the iPhone 5/5S
I have been reviewing a lot of Olloclip, and when I heard about the 3-IN-1 Photo Lens for the iPhone 5/5S, I thought I had reviewed it before. Nope, it was the 4-in-1 Lens. This Macro 3-IN-1 is one of those the clip on the corner of the camera lens type of accessories for the iPhone 5, and thus the iPhone 5/S. Like most of their products, it is made by anodized aircraft … [Read more...] about Olloclip Macro 3-in-1 Photo Lens for the iPhone 5/5S
Knightscope robots are the first generation of robot crime-busters
There is a company known as Knightscope which is doing something that no one has ever done before, at least in science-fiction. Yes, they are working on autonomous data machines that will be robot watchmen, apparently. These K5 and K10 robots have sensor suites that can see in the dark, recognize weapons and faces, and they can record audio. That sounds pretty simple, … [Read more...] about Knightscope robots are the first generation of robot crime-busters
Able Planet NC550BC Sound Clarity Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones
I have to say that I am pretty familiar with Able Planet's products, and I enjoy their headphones. They have this thing called LINX AUDIO technology, and I honestly don't know what that is, but I am assuming that it makes them sound so good. Yeah, I enjoy Able Planet products and I really hope they get the sales they deserve. I don't know who leads the headphone market, … [Read more...] about Able Planet NC550BC Sound Clarity Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones
