I still remember when I was watching that Sandra Bullock movie The Net and thought it was odd that she was ordering a pizza on the Internet. I'm sure that this tech was available at least a year before that 1995 film, and I was really surprised that Pizza Hut has just created an application made for the Xbox 360. Seriously, we didn't have this tech already? I mean, … [Read more...] about Pizza Hut is now available on the X-Box 360
Go!Scan 3D scanner could really begin a new era of 3D printing
I really think that we are in for an era of 3D printers. I really think that brick-and-mortar stores, as well as online stores, are going to face a decrease in profits after every household has a 3D printer. Think about it. Just imagine an era where you don't need to go to a hardware store to get a screw, but you can print off the part from the Internet. And, if you … [Read more...] about Go!Scan 3D scanner could really begin a new era of 3D printing
FabricSkin keyboard folio for the iPad, from Logitech
I have never been disappointed with a Logitech product, even if they are producing accessories that have been done to death. Their most recent contribution is the FabricSkin keyboard folio. I think we all know that these folios work with tablets. I'm not certain how the one on the Surface works, but usually it teams up via Bluetooth. That is the case here, but the … [Read more...] about FabricSkin keyboard folio for the iPad, from Logitech
Acer’s new laptop is apparently worthy of the Federation of Planets
I can't remember where I heard this, but I was watching some video the other day that said that "we have already seen the future with Star Trek, so now we are just waiting to catch up to it". I will have to admit that our cell-phone culture with early flip-up clamshell phones are similar to the communicator Kirk used to contact the Enterprise. Star Trek fans are probably … [Read more...] about Acer’s new laptop is apparently worthy of the Federation of Planets
The iPad Telephoto lens by Photojojo
I think we all know that the cameras on our tablets just are not that good sometimes, especially if we are trying to focus on something. Generally, it usually takes a somewhat blurry photo and make it even blurrier. Also, is the tablet really made for taking photos? It really is quite big to point and click, but the iPad telephoto lens from Photojojo (not to be confused … [Read more...] about The iPad Telephoto lens by Photojojo
Flip Alarm Clock is your wake-up service
Do you remember that episode of Seinfeld where Elaine has a champion runner friend who misses his biggest races because he can't wake up on time? His problem always has to do with alarm clock trouble. I honestly believe that we have all had alarm clock trouble. I remember a few weeks in my life where I just couldn't get my alarm clock to work, for some odd reason. In … [Read more...] about Flip Alarm Clock is your wake-up service
Amazon puts out 14 Original Series and lets users decide what’s good
I'm sure most of you know that I spend way too much time movies and television. I never really understand who in the world picks out TV shows and why some that are enjoyed by people, like Firefly, get their plugged pulled prematurely. Amazon has recently launched 14 pilot episodes, and there is going to be a "showdown" to see, I don't know, which one will last. It looks … [Read more...] about Amazon puts out 14 Original Series and lets users decide what’s good
Samsung working on mind-control tablet technology
Just to let you know, what you are seeing here is not available now. However, you didn't need me to tell you that. After all, if Samsung could develop some tech where a tablet that can interact with your brain, don't you think your next Tab would have it? Well, I suppose that if you want to wear a skull cap filled with wires, you could use this. However, you are going … [Read more...] about Samsung working on mind-control tablet technology
Speculative Fiction Friday: Pi
One of the reasons why I like watching speculative fiction films is that they are often not afraid to be different. I wouldn't say that Pi is speculative fiction, but it is certainly one of the most unique films that I have seen. The film is by Darren Aronofsky, who has made a lot interesting films over the years. I have not seen Requiem for a Dream, which I believe is a … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Pi
ARCHOS gets into the smartphone business with the 35 Carbon, 50 Platinum, and 53 Platinum
I have seen Archos come out with some interesting products, and some of their memorable ones are Android tablets which I have tired out. I believe that this is the first time for Archos, but they are going into the smartphone market. You can see the labels for what they are, but there are some similarities of unlocked 7.2Mbps HSPA 3G, dual SIM slots, Android, and 4GB of … [Read more...] about ARCHOS gets into the smartphone business with the 35 Carbon, 50 Platinum, and 53 Platinum
Acase Citta Slide-In Protective Case for the iPhone 5
Clearly there is a huge market for iPhone 5 covers and cases, and I usually try and report on the ones that are different. I have reported on the Lifeproof, Otterbox, and other iPhone 5 cases like the ones from SEIDO. Most of these cases are pretty ordinary, and snap on in two places. What makes the Acase Citta different is that it is the iPhone slides right in … [Read more...] about Acase Citta Slide-In Protective Case for the iPhone 5
Nanoblocks allow you to take control with an iPhone
I don't know if you are into Nanoblocks, but I believe that they are a small version of Lego blocks. I personally think that Lego needs to get in on some of this action. The Nanoblock method of control of Nanoblocks involves an iPhone. You will, of course, need an accompanying application on the iPhone application. You will need some nanoblocks and about $60 each … [Read more...] about Nanoblocks allow you to take control with an iPhone
Microsoft also working on a Smart Watch, and the Xbox team is handling it!
I think we all know that smart watches are probably going to be a new way of getting our notifications, and we have reported on the SmartFitty watch and how Apple is working on something. I have recently learned that Microsoft is under development of its own smart watch. To add fire to this rumor, Microsoft has apparently ordered many 1.5 inch displays. I have heard that … [Read more...] about Microsoft also working on a Smart Watch, and the Xbox team is handling it!
Check out this awesome BASE jumping stunt by Alexander Polli
Does anyone want to live a life like Alexander Polli? Man, this guy does some pretty interesting things like this BASE jumping stunt that you can see after the video. This stunt was at the Roca Foradada Mountains, and they have an arch there that this guy managed to "fly" through with his special suit. He jumped from a helicopter to start the flight, but I cannot imagine … [Read more...] about Check out this awesome BASE jumping stunt by Alexander Polli
A USB plug that can be done both ways
A few years ago at CES, I met someone who said that he had a USB plug that could be used both ways. Considering that I fail every time I plug in the USB cord into my computer, I think something like this is needed. The sad part is that I couldn't find out where to purchase this double-sided USB port, because it wasn't like I was stopping by a booth at CES. This guy was … [Read more...] about A USB plug that can be done both ways
