I guess if I was the head of a big tech company, I would probably enjoy building structures to do more than just get attention. After all, Amazon is creating that Bio-dome in Seattle, and now I hear that Google is building something in the San Francisco Bay. I find it very odd that Google is building this thing, and according to my sources, it is being built for the … [Read more...] about Google trying to build a Google Glass store on a San Francisco Bay Barge?
i-Air adds touch to Heads-Up Displays
It seems like I have been seeing a lot about Google Glass, and I haven't really seen many people try and imitate this tech, as yet. This particular tech from ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute) could make the Glass invisible. By invisible, I am talking about never to be seen again. As far as I know, most of Google Glass had its controls based on the voice, … [Read more...] about i-Air adds touch to Heads-Up Displays
iPin Laser pointer fits right on your phone’s headphone jack
Personally, I think that smartphones like the iPhone need to have more hardware attachments to them. I picture a day where a phone can have more features on it than a Swiss Army Knife, so if you want a screwdriver, there is an app for that. Of course, you will have to redesign the smartphone for that, and you can even create some sort of case to hold it, maybe. So we … [Read more...] about iPin Laser pointer fits right on your phone’s headphone jack
Amazon building their own private jungle in the Seattle area
Being from the Seattle area, it is always interesting to see what the big tech companies are doing. For example, Amazon wants to build a jungle, in the Seattle area. Yes, they want to make their own Bio-Dome, and the Pauly Shore movie is of no relation, hopefully. Actually they want to build three bio-domes, as part of their new massive headquarters which includes three … [Read more...] about Amazon building their own private jungle in the Seattle area
LG Flex oddly announced
Some of you might be questioning that headline, and yeah, I will admit that it is quite skeptical in its coverage. Did LG announce the Flex or not? The truth is that LG's press release briefly appeared online, and then, bam, it was gone. I have received an email about it, so I will simply assume that it is okay to report on it. So in case, you haven't heard, LG has … [Read more...] about LG Flex oddly announced
Speculative Fiction Saturday: R.I.P.D. It would have been better without Men In Black
I have to admit that when I first saw R.I.P.D. for the first time, I was under-whelmed. The biggest problem with the film is that it is exactly like the 1997 landmark Men In Black. If you were to write out the characters and plot elements of both films, they would be almost the same. In fact, you could draw lines and play a matching game. Jeff Bridges is very similar to … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: R.I.P.D. It would have been better without Men In Black
Pocket Watch Flip Phone is not for this era, but should be
I think we all know that the age of the flip phone is essentially gone, as someone decided that the new chic was a touchscreen and that is all. Thanks, Apple. This particular phone is hidden within a pocket watch, which is something that I never really see anymore. You can see how it opens up to reveal a number pad and 1.8 display. In addition to being a phone, it also … [Read more...] about Pocket Watch Flip Phone is not for this era, but should be
Hiku Grocery Scanner
I am always looking for ways to technologically update things that we have been doing for a long time. Grocery shopping is as old as grocery stores, and most of us still use the same system to shop. Granted, some of us can text a grocery list, and this is about the only update from pen and paper. Still, I would much rather have an easy to make grocery list that I just … [Read more...] about Hiku Grocery Scanner
My Review of the iLaunch Thunder by Dream Cheeky
If you are not familiar with Dream Cheeky, then you should check out what they have on their site. It makes you think: "just when I thought I had seen every iPhone/iPad accessory, I never thought I would see this". The iLaunch Thunder is a Missile Launcher for iDevices, and it has to be linked wirelessly via Bluetooth. Don't worry, these missiles are soft, and they won't … [Read more...] about My Review of the iLaunch Thunder by Dream Cheeky
X-Doria iPhone 5C cases, Take 2: The Defense 720º and Scene Plus
Well, I have been lovin' these X-Doria cases for the iPhone 5C, and now, I would like to introduce the Defense 720º and the Scene Plus. The 720º is an upgrade for the very popular (in fact, most popular) product, the Defense 360º. The 720º has the same har plastic protective front shield that I can barely see. I believe that this front shield is the closest that I may … [Read more...] about X-Doria iPhone 5C cases, Take 2: The Defense 720º and Scene Plus
Black and Decker Platinum 20V Max Drill/Driver
I am almost ready to declare this Power Tools Week with the Snakelight I reviewed yesterday from Black and Decker. I also had another chance to review another Black and Decker product with the Platinum 20V MAX Drill/Driver. The 20V MAX Drill/Driver has an 11 position clutch, but I will have to say that only the discerning can tell the difference. I am told that this can … [Read more...] about Black and Decker Platinum 20V Max Drill/Driver
X-Doria iPhone 5C cases, Take 1: The Rapt and Spots
Okay, I have been wanting to try out the X-Doria iPhone 5C cases for a while, and I was pleased to try a few from X-Doria, makers of the Kick. Now, I am pleased to try out two of them, the Rapt an Spots. I'll start with the Rapt. I am not certain how to describe the pattern, so look at the image to the left and make your own judgment. I am thinking "wrapped up ribbons". … [Read more...] about X-Doria iPhone 5C cases, Take 1: The Rapt and Spots
Nokia’s two 6-inch phablets confirm a different future for Windows phones
Not only has Nokia tried to outwit Apple with new products with their 2520 tablet, but they also have two new phablets, the 1320 and 1520. These both have 6-inch screens, which is enough to make all the tiles for their Windows operating system fill up well. The 1520 has a 20 Megapixel lens and a dual LED flash, and is capable of 1080p video at 30fps. It also has that 2.2 … [Read more...] about Nokia’s two 6-inch phablets confirm a different future for Windows phones
Black and Decker Max Lithium Rechargeable Snakelight
I'm pretty certain that most of you are aware are the Snakelight from Black and Decker. I remember when they introduced it in the early nineties, and consumers loved the idea of wrapping a light around something to keep it in place. I seem to remember the first model being green, and I am not certain what version this particular one is. It also used to be that you had to … [Read more...] about Black and Decker Max Lithium Rechargeable Snakelight
Nokia Lumia 2520 Tablet
In case you thought that the iPad Air was the biggest announcement for tablets yesterday, that is only the half of it. Nokia actually unveiled a lot of interesting things just before the big Apple announcement, but they have been eclipsed by the big Apple. Nokia's 2520 tablet is definitely something to give both iPad and Surface users an alternative with its 10 inch … [Read more...] about Nokia Lumia 2520 Tablet
