If I ever had to sit in front of a computer, constantly, I would probably play point and click video games all day. If you never have played them, then you should. I had a chance to play a recent one called Cognition. Cognition puts the player into the role of a hard-boiled detective named Erica Reed. The point and click works really well for this venue, as the player … [Read more...] about Cognition, Episode 1, an Erica Reed Thriller

I have said it before, and I am certain that I will say it again, but the best inventions are the ones that I wish I had thought of. I mean, this S2 Lighting tape really solves a daily (or nightly) dilemma. I realize that this is cliche, as I will begin with "how many times does this happen to you"? Seriously, have your ever turned out your lights for the night, and then … [Read more...] about S2 Liner strips help you really see in the dark

A few days ago, I had a chance to review the Mophie Outride, and I mentioned how there is a market for cameras for those that live active lifestyles. The Liquid Image EGO is designed to be a mountable HD action camera, and for those who want to make "extreme" videos for YouTube or other video-sharing sites, this is your device for that. Liquid Image is very good at many … [Read more...] about Liquid Image Ego Mountable Action Camera

I know I have reported on Epic Mickey Two twice already. The first time was its initial announcement, and the second time was when I got a chance to play it at PAX last summer and even rub shoulders with Warren Spector, the game's creator. If you aren't familiar with Epic Mickey, it is a new game franchise with Mickey as the hero, but the setting is very intriguing. … [Read more...] about My Review of Epic Mickey Two

I have to admit that I don't really review many watches on this site. I'm actually surprised that people use them, because most carry around a cellular phone that has the time. The Sprout watch is proud to use eco-friendly materials like organic cotton, natural bamboo, mercury-free batteris, and all of that. I had a chance to try out this watch, and I will admit that it … [Read more...] about Sprout’s economic and eco-friendly watches

I know that I have said this before, but the only difference between a smartphone and a laptop is a bigger screen and a clickity-click keyboard. You could get yourself something like a SOLO from ZAGG, or you could just get yourself a Qii. The Qii is different because all the keys, including the numeric keypad, are able to roll up and fit right in your pocket. … [Read more...] about Qii roll-up concept keyboard for mobile devices

I always love testing out Plantronics products, and this time it was the Voyager Legend, wait for it, oh wait, there isn't a "dary" here.

I'll start by saying that I like the one button that will tell you the battery life and connection status when you press it. … [Read more...] about Voyager Legend Bluetooth Headset from Plantronics

It seems like a lot of companies are making some interesting Bluetooth streamers that really transmit sound just a few feet. I am talking about devices like the BlueAnt Ribbon, and now there is the Jabra Clipper. In addition to streaming music remotely via Bluetooth, it allows for playing, pausing and skipping tracks. I believe that the company website says that it can do … [Read more...] about Jabra Clipper Bluetooth Streamer

Okay, this is pretty interesting, and I guess I am reporting on it because it is so darn cute. In case you are wondering, the headline is true. Just to let you know, it doesn't look like this is part of some scientific experiment to teach dogs how to drive or anything. This is a promotion from the New Zealand SPCA, to show how smart shelter dogs are. You can watch a … [Read more...] about Dogs can drive now thanks to SPCA promotion

It … [Read more...] about Sneaker Speaker are Bluetooth Enabled Shoes

It seems like with every Bluetooth product that comes out, some new spin has to be put on it. The Bluebuds X seems targeted to exercise/sports enthusiasts, and it certainly has what it takes to please them. Jaybird says that their Bluebuds X is good for eight hours worth on a single charge, so for jocks, that is good for "a week's worth of workouts". In case you are … [Read more...] about Jaybird Bluebuds X wireless earbuds

I think that DVD and Blu-ray have given us the power to make our films quite interactive. I still remember seeing DVDs in the early part of the last decade that had some weird thing appear on the screen during the film which led to some special feature. Sony Pictures have allowed Men in Black 3 to have a special interactive edition known as Movie Touch. Movie Touch is an … [Read more...] about Movie Touch introduces Men in Black 3 as an interactive movie experience

It is really interesting to see what kind of Information Age that we are living in. The person that you see in the photo is Hannah Sabata, who lives in Stromsburg, Nebraska. She stole a Pontiac Grand Am and then robbed a bank in Waco. She used a gun, a pillow case, and a note, and then went right home and posted her crime on YouTube, flashing the cash proudly.
