He operates the VGo … [Read more...] about VGo Telepresence robot enables student to attend school

One of the things that is so prevalent in speculative fiction is the creation of future worlds that can be summarized in a sentence. In the case of Equilibrium, it is gives us a world devoid of all emotion. Think about the Vulcan on Star Trek, but on Earth. Before you get to saying: "oh, come on", then you should know that Equilibrium makes this premise actually quite … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Equilibrium

Of course, everyone should know that I am big on all things LEGO, and I found not one, but two products that will take the brick. The first is an iPhone accessory that is essentially a case that you can build on. Now, I'm not certain what you would use all those bricks for, as that could turn your iPhone bulky. I believe that there is already a case like this for … [Read more...] about Two Lego products let you really customize

I realize that the EAS is a necessary part of our society of mass-communication. It is something that I never want to see, especially when it reports that "the bodies of the dead are rising from their graves and attacking the living". At KRTV channel 3, the EAS sent out a warning, and it was the premise of the popular comic book and TV series, The Walking Dead. The … [Read more...] about Local Montana TV station reports a zombie outbreak on EAS

Don't we want our displays to give us privacy when we … [Read more...] about Transparent Cell Phone from Polytron Technologies

Considering the almost gratuitous amount of Bluetooth speakers that I have reviewed in the past week, I think we all know that Bluetooth is just a standard feature on just about anything.

I'm not certain how many more Bluetooth speakers I can review, but I liked this small one, the Bluetune Solo from Divoom. The speaker is about the size of half a can of soda, but it produces some deep booming X-bass sound. I found that the PO-Bass Technology was terrific when the sound goes "boom", and that happens in most new songs nowadays. It was easy to pair, and … [Read more...] about Bluetune Solo Bluetooth Speaker
