Since many of us are using our phone like we are using cameras, it stands to reason why someone would make a flash for a smartphone. This is exactly what the company Manfrotto has done with the KLYP made for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4. I had a chance to try out the KLYP, and it reminds me of a clip on a rifle. At least the types that you see in films when an assassin snaps … [Read more...] about Manfrotto KLYP iPhone 5 Flash
The Cosmopolitan iPad Cover by idAmerica
As you can imagine, this is going to be one of my product reviews where I state that I have reviewed a lot of products similar to this. Generally, this is where I say that some product (in this case, an iPad case) must be really different to stand out from the competition/imitators. In the case of the Cosmopolitan by idAmerica, it is quite similar to Orion Leather case … [Read more...] about The Cosmopolitan iPad Cover by idAmerica
Google and Motorola announce the Moto X, and this could be big!
It is difficult to announce a big phone without a big event, and the Moto X was no exception. Yesterday, Google's company Motorola announced the Moto X, and it has taken me a day to talk about all the features. This new flagship smartphone has a curved back along with a 4.7-inch screen. The new phone will sport Jelly Bean version 4.2.2. It also has an X8 processing … [Read more...] about Google and Motorola announce the Moto X, and this could be big!
Jar-with-a-Twist solves peanut-butter knuckles and pretty much everything else
It really is the simplest of an idea that can change the world. In case you don't know what peanut butter knuckles are, just think about the last time that you tried to get some peanut butter from the bottom of a near-empty peanut butter jar. I don't know who has created this Jar-with-a-Twist, but they certainly are solving a problem. This device allows the user to twist … [Read more...] about Jar-with-a-Twist solves peanut-butter knuckles and pretty much everything else
Boomerang: One iPad mount to rule them all?
I have seen a lot of iPad mount/stands since the Apple tablet's release, and I will have to say that the Boomerang from XVIDA could be "the total package". The quote about the total package comes from Chris Johnson, the founder of BiteMyApple, a place to buy Kickstarter projects for Apple projects. The reason why the Boomerang could be all that is because it doesn't … [Read more...] about Boomerang: One iPad mount to rule them all?
Paperdude: An Oculus Rift and Kinect tribute to Paperboy
I think this would truly show your age if you remember a game known as Paperboy. There may be a lot of readers who don't know what it is, but it was a mid-eighties stand-up arcade game where you played a paperboy. The game had a bicycle handlebars as a controller, and your character dodged obstacles like cars backing up and more. Who knew that the life of a paperboy was so … [Read more...] about Paperdude: An Oculus Rift and Kinect tribute to Paperboy
EP Trailer is a backup charger for an electrical vehicle
You know how smartphones have a battery accessory? Well, there is a lot of electrical cars that could use a little back-up battery. What you are seeing on the back of this car is an EP Tender, and it is a generator on wheels. It is connected to the car's battery via a cable, and the generator switches on and feed the battery its necessary juice. It is capable of 22kW … [Read more...] about EP Trailer is a backup charger for an electrical vehicle
Mega Man-Pram is the most masculine stroller there ever was
As someone who once had to push his progeny with a stroller, I know how non-masculine it looks. This Mega Man-Pram is designed to really be the most masculine stroller that I know of. This Mega Man-Pram is about 6.5 feet tall, and it comes with hydraulic suspension, 20-inch alloy wheels, all-terrain tires, rear-view mirrors, an anti-stress push-bar grip, high-spec brakes, … [Read more...] about Mega Man-Pram is the most masculine stroller there ever was
LG unveils the G2 QuickWindow Case
I don't know about you, I have a case with a cover that allows me to close up my Galaxy S III. I think that most of us should get something like that just to protect our valuable touchscreen, and LG is prepared for this. The big LG is announcing a QuickWindow Case for their new phone the LG G2. The case essentially has a hole in the case that is a window for the LG G2 in … [Read more...] about LG unveils the G2 QuickWindow Case
Nokia’s new method of augmented reality job searches
As someone who has had to "pound the pavement" a few times in my life, I can tell you that I wish the job market was a little more structured. Considering that getting a job is the most important thing in our lives, you would think we would have some system in place that would insure that we are all employed. Of course, I love all things augmented reality based, so you … [Read more...] about Nokia’s new method of augmented reality job searches
Air Clicker Camera requires no camera or smartphone to work
If you have ever used your fingers to take an imaginary picture of something, then you are getting why the Air Clicker Camera was invented. The Air Clicker is a Bluetooth enabled camera lens that has a motion sensor shutter button on two kinds of bands. All you need to do is just put your fingers in the right positions, and do a click gesture. I have no idea if you will … [Read more...] about Air Clicker Camera requires no camera or smartphone to work
The Brickcase by Smallworks
Well, I am pretty certain that you know that I am a lover of all things LEGO, as I have written two books on it. They are Pratical Lego Technics and Lego Technic Robotics, in case you might want to buy them off Amazon. I once covered a case for a smartphone that was made by Belkin, but this one is from Smallworks. As far as I am concerned, what they are doing is no small … [Read more...] about The Brickcase by Smallworks
Ziphius gets all of its funding on Kickstarter
I have seen a lot of Kickstarter projects come and go, and I found it odd that this particular project, the Ziphius, made its $125,000 funding goals. So what is the Ziphius? It is a drone that you can control while it is in the water, and it has a camera on it, too. I have seen drones like the AR.Drone from parrot that are quadcopters, and they have a camera too. The … [Read more...] about Ziphius gets all of its funding on Kickstarter
Dex Type allows you to type on nothing
Some of you might remember when I covered the Epic from Celluon Store, a laser-projected keyboard that you can type on for a smartphone or tablet. Now the Dex Type wants to take the concept of typing on a tabletop keyboard and remove the keyboard. As you can see in the image, the user is simply moving his or her fingers, and then the proper letters and numbers will … [Read more...] about Dex Type allows you to type on nothing
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Donnie Darko
I know I usually do Speculative Fiction Friday on Friday, but I have changed it so it is Saturday. The reason why I changed it is because less people read my blog on the weekends, so I might as well just do a post that is fun for you and me. Today's sample is a film that has less closure than last week's Blade Runner. Donnie Darko was not a huge hit when it was first … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Donnie Darko
