What you are seeing here is the Combimouse, which is essentially a way of making the keyboard and mouse all into one thing. The Combimouse is one of those Indiegogo projects, which means it needs your funding to make it real. Now, what you are seeing in the photo is what the Combimouse looked like a few years ago. You can watch a video the Combimouse on the Indiegogo … [Read more...] about Combimouse puts a mouse and keyboard in both hands
Turn your Samsung Galaxy phone into a tablet with PhonePad+
I believe that the purpose of this particular device, the PhonePad+, is to put your smartphone content on a tablet. Personally, I think something like this is a long time coming, but I would rather have it on my laptop. The PhonePad+ is quite interesting as it can take what is on an Android phone and put it on a 10.1 inch touchscreen. Granted, it is only designed to work … [Read more...] about Turn your Samsung Galaxy phone into a tablet with PhonePad+
Two new videos to show how cool the Oculus Rift is
I'm not certain how familiar you are with the Oculus Rift, but it is essentially a wearable headset that good for all the VR games that we were promised in the nineties. Yeah, it is a Virtual Boy without all the monochromatic red and black. The Oculus Rift was a Kickstarter project, and I heard that it was on display at CES, but I never did get a chance to see it in … [Read more...] about Two new videos to show how cool the Oculus Rift is

Tarot is the world’s smallest smartphone battery charger
I have seen some pretty small mobile phone battery chargers before, and the smallest has been the one by Devotec which is a little larger than a quarter. I believe the Devotec one is a Kickstarter project, but the Tarot is available now. The Tarot, which I can only assume is named after the cards, is about the size of a credit card. It is somewhat thick at 0.28, which is … [Read more...] about Tarot is the world’s smallest smartphone battery charger
ibenX GamePad is Android powered
I'm pretty certain that the Nintendo DS and the Playstation Vita dominate the portable console market, and let's not forget about how tablets and smartphones have started their own touchscreen gaming revolution. It would appear that another portable gaming console has entered the mix with the ibenX GamePad. The ibenX GamePad is designed for Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), which … [Read more...] about ibenX GamePad is Android powered
Speculative Fiction Friday: Big Fish, and why we need to be more open-minded
Just to be clear, calling the film Big Fish science-fiction, fantasy, or any type of speculative fiction is an insult. The problem is, we always have to put some genre label on a film. I personally know people who won't watch anything with a Sci-Fi/Fantasy label, and they would be sadly missing out on Big Fish. Big Fish is sort of a departure for director Tim Burton, who … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Big Fish, and why we need to be more open-minded
Sonic Alert Sonic-connect 2 is another method of notification
Some of you might remember when I reported on that EMBRACE+ Kickstarter project with those bracelets that flash when receiving an e-mail. I had a chance to try out the Sonic-Connect 2, which takes the concept of flashing notification on a less portable level. Simply put, the Sonic-Connect 2 plugs into a USB port on your computer and will inform you if you receive e-mails, … [Read more...] about Sonic Alert Sonic-connect 2 is another method of notification
Turns out, you can hack an airplane with an Android phone
Yeah, that is Alec Baldwin dressed as an airplane pilot, and that was an SNL sketch back when he was kicked off a plane for not quitting his "Words with Friends" game. He had a good line during that SNL news parody, as he said: "Come on, if you think that a 747 could be downed by an iPod Touch that they would even let it near a plane?" Apparently, it is possible to screw … [Read more...] about Turns out, you can hack an airplane with an Android phone
Samsung has another win for smartphones with the Win
In addition to the Galaxy Mega, Samsung has also announced the Galaxy Win. I believe it is called the Win because it is a win for users.

As for the other features, it has a 1.2GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB of internal memory, … [Read more...] about Samsung has another win for smartphones with the Win

Samsung’s New Galaxy Mega has a 6.3 inch screen, or 5.8 inch
Even though that Samsung Galaxy IV is not out yet, Samsung is still unveiling all kinds of phones. I'll discuss the Win later, but for now, I want to bring up the subject of the Mega. I suppose the huge selling point of the Mega is the large screen, available in 5.8 and 6.3 inch versions. Clearly, someone is thinking that bigger is better as far as Phablets are … [Read more...] about Samsung’s New Galaxy Mega has a 6.3 inch screen, or 5.8 inch
