I always like to see what BRAVEN is up to, and their latest announcement of the 710 has a lot of hype with the slogan of "the Ultimate Portable HD Wireless Stereo Speaker". I haven't reviewed this one, but I will speak highly of BRAVEN's product with the 570. This has "the perfect blend of heart pumping bass, crystal clear highs and ease of use". The 710 has that … [Read more...] about The Braven 710, the Ultimate Portable HD Wireless Stereo Speaker
You can use your Mobile Phone during Takeoff and Landing
I think we all know that we can't use a cell phone on a plane, but thanks to the FAA, you can now use it during a takeoff and landing. Now, the only problem you may have is that you will have to prove that your electronic is safe. This means that you might have to check it from gate to gate. I can see that there could be a lot of confusion with some of the newer models … [Read more...] about You can use your Mobile Phone during Takeoff and Landing
Driverless Podcars coming to England?
For a while, Heathrow Airport in London has been using these ULTra PRT transport pod in order to take travelers from place to place. I have never been there, but it seems rather futuristic. The next step is clearly driverless cars on the road. Apparently, the city of Milton Keynes wants to create a lot of these podcars to transport the 200,000 citizens around. It may be … [Read more...] about Driverless Podcars coming to England?
Special glasses create a personal monitor that only you can see
There's nothing that I like more than a few DIY projects, and this particular one is pretty fantastic. Personally, I think this a project for those who can't afford Google Glass. Basically, it is a way of taking off the polarizing light filter, which gives you a blank and white screen. All you need to do is put this filter on a pair of glasses, and you essentially have a … [Read more...] about Special glasses create a personal monitor that only you can see
HUDWAY turns an iPhone into a heads-up display
I have been doing a lot of reports about heads-up displays lately, and I'm very certain I did three articles on one day that was related with them. I guess with the dawn of Google Glass, we are going to just love heads-up displays like we love touchscreens. This particular application known as the HUDWAY is right up my alley. Unlike that Google Glass or other HUDs, no … [Read more...] about HUDWAY turns an iPhone into a heads-up display

Ultra-Slim Power Case Designed for iPad, from Justin Case
I think most iPad owners know that the battery runs out on their favorite tablet all the time. Even Ashton Kutcher talked about needing to carry around an extra battery that must be charged just so the iPad can have daily use. I have reported on many of them, like the ones from Digital Foci. This is the Ultra-Slim Power Case from Justin Case, part of the Justin Power … [Read more...] about Ultra-Slim Power Case Designed for iPad, from Justin Case
Speculative Fiction Saturday: After Earth…and it isn’t that good
Well, today's flick is from M. Night Shyamalan, and I'm sure you've probably heard about it already. M. Night's films have been progressively bad since his landmark film The Sixth Sense from 1999, and After Earth is his worst film since The Last Airbender (which was his last movie if you don't count Devil). Of course, I knew that when I watched it would not be good, and it … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: After Earth…and it isn’t that good
Norwegian town of Rjukan gets a chance to see the sun during winter
I've always wondered what it was like to live in an area where there is no day or night. I remember that Al Pacino had a hard time adjusting to it in the Christopher Nolan film Insomnia, and there was an episode of Star Trek: Voyager where the crew has a hard time adjusting to an area of space that is utterly black without any stars. Okay, that is enough with the … [Read more...] about Norwegian town of Rjukan gets a chance to see the sun during winter
Sphero 2.0 rolls out the fun
Sphero by Orbotix is one of those products that you really should have heard about by now, because it is so awesomely cool. If you haven't, here is a general idea: imagine a ball that you can control its rolling with the use of an iPad, iPhone, or other Android smartphone. I have seen the Sphero at conventions for years, and I finally got a chance to try one out. This is … [Read more...] about Sphero 2.0 rolls out the fun
Eton Clipray Crank-powered flashlight
I have reviewed Eton's products before, and they are more than just good, but they encourage their users to save energy. This particular product is known as the the Clipray, and it is a flashlight that is both solar powered and crank powered. In case you are wondering, cranking it for one minute is good enough to produce 10 minutes of light. By the way, it does have a … [Read more...] about Eton Clipray Crank-powered flashlight

Precisely when does the holiday season begin again?
Okay, today is Halloween, and I believe that this has got me wondering: when does Christmas shopping season begin? I walked into a store today and they were putting up Christmas decorations, and Halloween hasn't even began yet. I remember as a kid not being able to wait until Christmas, and not seeing any commercials related to it until Thanksgiving. Now, I see them … [Read more...] about Precisely when does the holiday season begin again?
Motorola Ara could start a new era in smartphones
What you are seeing here is a disassembled smartphone, but it is for a good reason. You know how a lot of phones like the iPhone or the Samsung Galaxy S have to be upgraded, like every year? Imagine if you could just update certain things when needed. This is the concept behind Phonebloks, and it really is something that could simplify smartphones as we know it. This is … [Read more...] about Motorola Ara could start a new era in smartphones
Lenovo announces their Yoga Tablet, with Ashton Kutcher
Last night, Lenovo had a live YouTube broadcast with the one-and-only Ashton Kutcher to show off the new Yoga Tablet. Ashton hit the stage to say that he is apparently on Lenovo's team, and they even had a comedy sketch to show him at the company HQ. Yeah, it wasn't very funny, but who cares, let's talk about the Tablet! This is a step up from the IdeaPad Yoga 11S … [Read more...] about Lenovo announces their Yoga Tablet, with Ashton Kutcher
