While trying to establish my contacts before the holidays, I decided to check in at someone at RCA. As it turns out, RCA has been defunct for years, but the brand name is still being used. I missed this announcement at CES last January, and I find this odd, because I just registered for CES 2014 today. Coincidentally enough, RCA is planning on launching their RCA Mobile … [Read more...] about RCA Mobile TV Tablet
The iPhone 5 Hydra Series Case from Ballistic
I believe that I have recommended Going Ballistic on your mobile device before, or Otterbox, or Lifeproof, or Incipio. Yeah, I have said this a lot, and I'm not even going to put in hyperlinks. So much so, I kind of know the drill for these products. They are required to face the four trials of life like dust, dirt, water, and shock. Usually, it is a matter of how long they … [Read more...] about The iPhone 5 Hydra Series Case from Ballistic
DualPro SHINE for the iPhone 5C by Incipio
I'm going to be reviewing a few more Incipio products this week, and the DualPro SHINE is for the iPhone 5C. I'm sure I'll be reviewing other iPhone 5C products before the holidays are over. The DualPro Shine is a sequel to the DualPro, which I reviewed around CES. The DualPro SHINE is a protective case with this Plextonium outer shell as well as a dLAST interior. … [Read more...] about DualPro SHINE for the iPhone 5C by Incipio
MusicInk allows you to play a piece of paper
What you are seeing in this video is the MusicInk, an it is quite interesting. I highly suggest watching it so you can see something that is difficult to describe. This is how it works. You can use the MusicInk to paint something, and then connect it to an Arduino Duemilanove board and Sparkfun MPR121 controller. After the MusicInk has dried, you can play it like notes. … [Read more...] about MusicInk allows you to play a piece of paper
Incipio Watson Wallet for the Samsung Galaxy S4
I have said before when I reviewed the Incipio Stashback that I have seen many cases for smartphones that are designed to hold credit cards and cash. I suppose it shows that the wallet is on its way out, and the Watson by Incipio is the best evidence of this. The Watson Wallet Folio for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Case is practically a hybrid of a wallet and smartphone case. It … [Read more...] about Incipio Watson Wallet for the Samsung Galaxy S4
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Minority Report, one of my personal favorities
When I first saw the Steven Spielberg/Tom Cruise film in 2002, I felt rather indifferent about it. I remember purchasing it for Christmas in 2002, and I have discovered that I love watching it, and can learn more from it with every watch. Most films are not this good, and I would have to say it is Spielberg's finest since his golden run in the eighties. The film is based … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Minority Report, one of my personal favorities
Disney Research working on 3-D Tactile Feedback on a touchscreen
Whoa. I just finished writing about some cool new technology that involves holographic digital signage, and now I am talking about some touchscreen that allows you to do some touch, and it's from Disney Research! I honestly don't know how this tech works. I have seen some flexible tech that will hopefully be available from LG and other mobile phone companies before, but the … [Read more...] about Disney Research working on 3-D Tactile Feedback on a touchscreen
LG unveils the G Pro Lite
I believe that I talked about the G Pro before, especially with the VuTalk feature. Now, the LG G Pro Lite has just been announced, and I am not certain how missed this one. The LG G Pro Lite has a 5.5 inch screen with 960 x 540 resolution. It has a processor of MT6577 1.0 GHz Dual Core, and a memory of 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM, and the microSD. The camera is a 1.3 Megapixel on … [Read more...] about LG unveils the G Pro Lite
Asukanet’s holograms could start a new age
Some of you might remember when I reported Casio's little Digital Signage project, and how it could revolutionize the service industry. That particular tech used projected images on glass, and this Asukanet tech uses some 3D action. I'm sure that you can't really see that with the 2D image, but the cute anime girl is actually following the user's finger. There is a video … [Read more...] about Asukanet’s holograms could start a new age
Avegant Virtual Retinal Display
I have seen a lot of visors that are set to provide a 3D experience. Go ahead and look up the Myvu (currently out of business) and the Vuzix viewer. Those aforementioned technologies used two screens to create a 3D effect and a private watching experience. I suppose that Google Glass could change that market, but the Avegant could change everything. The Avegant … [Read more...] about Avegant Virtual Retinal Display
Archos Unveils the GamePad 2
Some of you might remember when we covered the Archos GamePad, as it was only last August. Apparently, it was a hit, because the second version has already been made. The GamePad 2 has a 7-inch HD screen with a resolution 1200 x 800 pixels. It has a A9 generation quad-core processor with 1.6GHz with some Quad-Core action, which works well for 3D games. It also has some … [Read more...] about Archos Unveils the GamePad 2
Jimmy Kimmel’s comments reveal everything wrong with Fox News’ tech
I've always like Jimmy Kimmel, and honestly think he is funnier than Jay Leno, Jimmy Fallon, but probably not Conan O'Brien. Jimmy was able to point out a terrible flaw with Fox News and their new technology. Apparently, Fox News has coated its newsroom with giant, 55-inch tablets. I have to admit, I would love it if I had a tablet that big. Yeah, it would be nice, and you … [Read more...] about Jimmy Kimmel’s comments reveal everything wrong with Fox News’ tech
Samsung unveils the GALAXY ROUND with a curved display
Some of you might remember yesterday when we discussed LG and their flexible screens, and here is another historical moment, this time for Samsung. The GALAXY ROUND is the first curved display, and it has a 5.7 inch super AMOLED curved display. Now, I don't know why one might need a curved display, but there is some interesting features like Roll Effect to check on … [Read more...] about Samsung unveils the GALAXY ROUND with a curved display
Google to have the cheapest laptop, ever?
I'm sure that a lot of us want to have a cheap laptop, as most of us are set back several hundred dollars if we buy a new one. Google might have a solution for you, but you need to use Chrome on this notebook that only runs $279. This laptop which is HP Chromebook 11 and it is made by HP. It relies heavily on always having a continuous Internet connection for Gmail, … [Read more...] about Google to have the cheapest laptop, ever?
Hashtag, I’m sick of this joke!
It seems like I am seeing a lot of comedy bits with "hashtag" in them. I see no point in figuring out who started it. Recently, Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake did a sketch where they were constantly saying "hashtag" after everything, as if their life was nothing but a series of tweets. It is pretty clear that these hashtag comedy bits are trying to satirize that. I … [Read more...] about Hashtag, I’m sick of this joke!
