Can anyone tell me how many satellites are floating in space above the earth now? I have no idea if our planet looks like a space garbage dump as shown in the opening of WALL-E. I have no idea how these satellites keep from hitting each other, or what happens when they give out. Titan Aerospace has proposed this particular method of telecommunication. These are … [Read more...] about Titan Aerospace shows drones that can replace satellites
Armadillo-T is one great Turtle Car
Yes, you heard my title correctly, this is about a turtle car. That sounds like something from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the 80's version. This is Armadillo-T, developed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), and it is fully electric. It has a 13.6 kWh battery, able to travel to 37 miles per hour with a 60 mile range on a single charge. … [Read more...] about Armadillo-T is one great Turtle Car
Introducing theQ, the “World’s First Fashion-Foward Social Camera”
It really isn't all that often that I review a stand-alone camera here on this site. I guess I just don't get the memos from Polaroid, Nikon, Olympus, and Kodak. (By the way, Kodak doesn't make cameras anymore.) Considering that everyone has cameras on their phones, most people don't really do the whole stand-alone camera thing. Not only can you take a photo with a camera … [Read more...] about Introducing theQ, the “World’s First Fashion-Foward Social Camera”
All-in-One Mouse and Camera from Genius
Just to let you know, the "Genius" that the headline is referring to, is a company with that particular title. I have seen them at conventions, but I would have to say that this All-in-One Mouse and Camera is genius. I don't know if you might need a mouse that is a camera, but I don't see why not. After all, if you ever have take pictures of items by your desk, it is a lot … [Read more...] about All-in-One Mouse and Camera from Genius
LG Announes the First Quad HD LCD Panel for Smartphones
Okay, now that you read the headline, but what does it mean? Well, if you have tried to do something that you normally do on your computer from a smartphone, this is important. This first Quad HD AH-IPS LCD panel is 2560 x 1440 at 538 ppi, and measures at 5.5 inch Quad HD panel. This is the highest resolution and ppi (pixel per inch) mobile panel to date, which means you … [Read more...] about LG Announes the First Quad HD LCD Panel for Smartphones
Solar Porter 12 from Digital Foci
I found myself reviewing Digital Foci chargers this week, and I reviewed the two Battery Porters, the 5200 and 8000. This particular one is the Solar Porter 12, which relies on the power of the sun. Solar Chargers are kind of hit or miss, because I have heard that solar power isn't really efficient. I am assuming it isn't based on the fact there aren't more solar plants. … [Read more...] about Solar Porter 12 from Digital Foci
Welcome to an age of KeMice!
I mentioned in my recent report on the Haptix that the mouse is an interface that probably needs some kind of update, and I found another one today with KeMice. The KeMice (which I assume is pronounced Key-mice) is unique as it is a keyboard that can split down the middle. You can see a video after the jump of how handy it is when you want to type with a huge gap between … [Read more...] about Welcome to an age of KeMice!
Our interview with Kkat, writer/creator of Fallout Equestria!
I am not certain where you would have to be living to know that My Little Pony made a comeback in a serious way with My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Unlike other shows that are targeted for pre-teen girls, this new My Little Pony has gained a following amongst older men. I’m not certain who came up with the term “Bronies”, but it is probably the best description of this … [Read more...] about Our interview with Kkat, writer/creator of Fallout Equestria!
Our Review of the Battery Porter 5200 and 8000, from Digital Foci
We are definitely no stranger to portable batteries here at TheGeekChurch.com. It seems like we get one every week, the last one being the ET-NP056K, fourth in our Eagle Trilogy. At this point, I am going to go with the usual anecdote of how we have had our mobile devices run out of power at an inopportune moment, and we all need that extra bit of juice, and we all need a … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Battery Porter 5200 and 8000, from Digital Foci
Haptix is set to change the way we interface with computers
Every once in a while, I see some sort of technology that has the potential to change just about everything. I really think that we have a weird way of interfacing with our tablets and smartphones via touchscreen, but most people interface with PCs and laptops with mice or that touchpad that I never use. The Haptix is a Kickstarter project created by Darren Lim and Reactiv … [Read more...] about Haptix is set to change the way we interface with computers
The Business of Android Apps Development, 2nd Edition, is out!
Well, since this is my fifth book, I need to do my job to promote it. Actually, this would be the 2nd Edition of my first book, so can I count it as a new book? This was the first time I have worked with another author, and I will have to say that Roy Sandberg was very good at what he does. I will be honest and say that I knew little about marketing Android apps when I … [Read more...] about The Business of Android Apps Development, 2nd Edition, is out!
Leap Frog presents the LeapReader Reading and Writing System
If you are familiar with Leap Frog, then you probably know it as a company that makes education electronic toys, usually with a green and white color scheme. I recently had a chance to try out the LeapReader, which isn't really made for my age group, but for those learning to read. The LeapReader would best be referred to as a smartpen. This isn't one of those pens that … [Read more...] about Leap Frog presents the LeapReader Reading and Writing System
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Jack the Giant Slayer
I mentioned the other week when I reviewed Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas that I usually don't review fantasy movies. Generally, I like to focus on films that deal with the consequences of technology, such as last week's Demolition Man. As I had a free Redbox movie rental available to me, I decided to give Jack the Giant Slayer a chance. I had been wanting to see it … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Jack the Giant Slayer
A Post about Mommy Bloggers
What you are seeing here is the front page from The Sweet Life of Mommy and Me. Type that in without spaces and put a .com after it, and you will get a mommy blog. What is a Mommy Blog? Well, any mother of at least one child in their household who has read or contributed to a blog in the last 30 days. Yeah, I took that definition off a Mashable article that you can read … [Read more...] about A Post about Mommy Bloggers
Keep yourself undisturbed with the Off Pocket
This device is very interesting as we live in an era where we just don't want ourselves to be tracked via WiFi, cellular, and GPS signals. Imagine if there was just a pouch that would allow you to put a phone in, and it would be immune to all those aforementioned signals. This is exactly the OFF Pocket's purpose, as it is made up of metalized fibers to block all those … [Read more...] about Keep yourself undisturbed with the Off Pocket
