It really is great to see where we are with gaming. I think it is pretty awesome that I can walk Link through a three-dimensional world, but I am always craving more. It looks like a game known as X Rebrith is made for that. I have seen a lot of games that have wonderful backgrounds of exotic cities, but these are usually just paintings or pixels, with no way a character … [Read more...] about X-Rebirth seeks to change video games
Hands-on with the iLuv MobiOut
I realize my saying "iLuv MobiOut", it sounds like I am saying I love MobiOut. In this case, it is quite true. I definitely like to review iLuv products, like the Aud5. This MobiOut looks like the Braven 570 that we reviewed last week, and it has very similar features. It is a Bluetooth speaker with controls on top, but an added bonus is Jump-Start technology, which means … [Read more...] about Hands-on with the iLuv MobiOut
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Demolition Man
I think this is the first time that I reviewed a film with Sylvester Stallone. Stallone has a reputation of doing ultra-violent action films, dumb comedies, and then there are the boxing and over the top films. I am not talking about Expendables 2, but the one where he was arm-wrestling. This film, Demolition Man, is an intelligent film, and is often confused with Judge … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Demolition Man
Eliminate e-waste and recycle old devices with uSell
I really think that it is great that we live in an era where mobile phone technology, but there is a dark side to this. After all, we are putting out a new iPhone every year, not to mention all the other phones that are becoming obsolete within a matter of months. Don't you think we are going to increase our waste if this keeps up? Fortunately, there is a way to recycle … [Read more...] about Eliminate e-waste and recycle old devices with uSell
eleMount is made to stick to the phone, and anyplace else
For some reason, I have been reviewing a lot of smartphone stands which involve sticking them there. I have no idea who makes this sticky stuff, but I have seen it in so many places. Recent examples include the Zyroshell Phone Cradle and the TYLT Capio with NFC. The eleMount is unique as it has stick parts on both ends. These elePads can stick to any flat surface, and … [Read more...] about eleMount is made to stick to the phone, and anyplace else
GoCuff could be the new way of smartphones
I always get excited when I see devices from science fiction become reality. This is probably why I see a need to report on any device that looks like it came from out of Minority Report. In the case of the GoCuff, it is a holder that fits on the sleeve designed for a smartphone. What science fiction book or film is this from? Why, my own, of course. All right, this is a … [Read more...] about GoCuff could be the new way of smartphones
zBoost Metro Cell Booster
It really is all about the bars these days, and if you don't have them, it sort of defeats the purpose of having a cell phone, doesn't it? Fortunately, a company known as zBoost has come to the rescue. I had a chance to try out the the zBoost Metro, which is made for consumers in single story urban settings. It is designed for people who live in 1,500 square feet areas like … [Read more...] about zBoost Metro Cell Booster
Lifeproof nüüd for the Galaxy S III
I have recently done a lot of reviews of Lifeproof products lately, such as the fre for the iPad. I have also reviewed the nüüd for iPad and I have now tried out the Galaxy S III. One of the things about the nüüd is that it is nude. Even though it is made to be waterproof and dustproof, there is nothing really protecting the touchscreen. Seriously, I thought I had mis-read … [Read more...] about Lifeproof nüüd for the Galaxy S III
LG announces the G2
The other day I covered a story about the G2 Quickwindow case. I'm going to be honest and admit that I probably should have covered the G2 first. Well, the G2 was officially announced today, and it is the big news for the day. Now, the real big news is that this phone has no buttons on the side, seriously. Somehow, all the controls are on the back, which allows for a lot … [Read more...] about LG announces the G2
Our Hands-on Review of the SimpleScan SP Simplex
I did a recent review of an item where I liked the product, but the PR person who gave it to me seemed to think that I didn't. I went ahead and changed any wording on the review so it was more positive, but the PR person was not satisfied, even going so far as to ask me to remove the review entirely. For the sake of anonymity, I won't say what the product was, and this is why … [Read more...] about Our Hands-on Review of the SimpleScan SP Simplex

ROCCAT Kone Pure Gaming Mouse
I have tried out Roccat products before, such as the Kone [+] Gaming Mouse. Now that I have had a chance to try out the Kone Pure, I can't help but compare the two. First of all, it is 91 percent of the Kone [+], in size. It has the cool cord but instead of having a 6000dpi Pro-Aim Laser Sensor, this has a 8200dpi Pro-Aim R3 laser sensor. The Kone [+] has an integrated … [Read more...] about ROCCAT Kone Pure Gaming Mouse
Hands on with the Lego Mindstorms EV3
I first covered the Lego Mindstorms version 3, or EV3, at CES last January.

The set comes with the EV3 Intelligent Brick, which is a small computer with about 8 ports, not to mention a USB port an SD … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Lego Mindstorms EV3

The purpose is to track one's workout with the appropriate app, like the Body Media band.

Blue-Wi Nighthawk Bluetooth Lapel Microphone
I have reviewed a lot of Bluetooth headsets on this site before, and I thought that the Nighthawk from Blue-Wi was just another one. I first encountered it at CES, then again at CTIA, and I have finally received the Nighthawk to try out on my own. Let me start by telling you that the Nighthawk is one of the best Bluetooth devices that I have ever heard. You know how a lot … [Read more...] about Blue-Wi Nighthawk Bluetooth Lapel Microphone
