I have to admit that I never really heard of SKROSS before, but this device is more than useful. What you are seeing here is some interesting slots so you can create a plug for pretty much every country. Okay, maybe not every country, but darn it, it is set up for Euro, UK, USA, Australia/China, and Japan. That is just the input side, and I am not even going to discuss … [Read more...] about SKROSS World Adapter MUV USB
RooCase Glacier Tough iPhone 6/6S Plus
While I was at CES 2016, I was able to try out multiple products, and one of them was the Roocase. I can tell you what attracted me to this product was that the person at the booth wore a kangaroo costume. The Roocase is crafted with military grade design, and the version that I tried was for the iPhone 6 Plus and it was Glacier Tough, meaning it was clear, possibly. … [Read more...] about RooCase Glacier Tough iPhone 6/6S Plus
Ditto from Simple Matters makes Notifications a Simple Matter
You see that title, I realize how unprofessional this sounds, but I really like it. And honestly, I hope that it conveys how great a device Ditto from Simple Matters is. The Ditto is a small tiny...thing (yeah, I don't really know how to describe it) that is made for silent notifications. It doesn't give you a tone or anything, because it does vibration and stuff. So it … [Read more...] about Ditto from Simple Matters makes Notifications a Simple Matter
Kanex GoBuddy+ with Micro USB
I have reviewed a lot of Kanex product in the past, like the simpleDock and Multi-Sync Keyboard, and I had a chance to take the GoBuddy+ with Micro USB and Bottle Opener as I took it home from CES 2016. I will have to say that I don't think this product is yet available on the Kanex website, as I could only find the one with Lightning Cable. Since I have an Android phone, … [Read more...] about Kanex GoBuddy+ with Micro USB
Yubico YubiKey Gives Serious Protection
It is interesting to see Yubikey at a recent conference (CES 2016, in case you didn't figure that out). Developed by Yubico, it looks to be some serious kind of authentication key, in the highest degree. Basically, it plugs right into the USB port and it can get your password in instantly. So if you are at a computer that you don't know, have trouble remembering your … [Read more...] about Yubico YubiKey Gives Serious Protection
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Tomorrowland: What is this film about?
Tomorrowland is one of those films that looks like it should have worked. I mean, it's named after an attraction at Disneyland, and it worked with Pirates of the Caribbean, but not with The Haunted Mansion. The previews made it look like it would be filled with imagination, and that part didn't lie. Hey, you know what they didn't show on the preview? What the movie was … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Tomorrowland: What is this film about?
iblazr 2 from Concepter
It seems hard to believe that we just reviewed the iblazr a few months ago, and we first wrote about it a few years ago on iblazr back when it was a Kickstarter project. And now we got a chance to review the iblazr 2. The purpose of this device, in case you don't know, is to be an external light source for mobile devices. The iblazr 2 doesn't have that port can plug into … [Read more...] about iblazr 2 from Concepter
Reach Case R79X for the iPhone 6 and 6S
I have to admit that I've never really had any trouble with reception on my phone, but I get the feeling that I should make phone calls away from my own town. If I wanted to make a phone call, I would definitely use the Reach Case. The Reach Case R79X is designed to snap into the iPhone 6/6S (or the iPhone 6/6S Plus, depending on the model),and the automatically starts … [Read more...] about Reach Case R79X for the iPhone 6 and 6S
Catalyst Case for the iPhone 6/6S
I will have to admit that it has been a while since I reviewed one of those cases that really protects your phone. There was a time when I reviewed products from Lifeproof, which is now owned by Otterbox, and yes, Otterbox makes those products now. Anyway, this is a case from Catalyst, a company that I really should have heard of, honestly. This particular Catalyst case … [Read more...] about Catalyst Case for the iPhone 6/6S
Speck CandyShell Clear Case
It has been a while since I reviewed a product from Speck, and I have reviewed the Candyshell before. This particular Candyshell is a Clear and military-grade impact protection for the iPhone 6 Plus (or iPhone 6S Plus). The Candyshell is one of those cases where you just snap the phone in, and it has some raised bezel screen protection. As said before, it has … [Read more...] about Speck CandyShell Clear Case
Go Puck 5X and Active Mount Review
Here is another product that I found at CES 2016, and it isn't exactly one that I haven't reviewed before. Yeah, the Go Puck (please resist the urge to say "yourself" after this product) is a mobile battery, and I just reviewed the MyCharge HubPlus. The 5X version is about the size of your palm, which is about the size of the 3X model as well. It has about 6600 mAh which … [Read more...] about Go Puck 5X and Active Mount Review
MiLi iData Flash Drive
So, now that I have been back from CES, I can finally write about all of the cool stuff that I saw there. It is going to take all year to write about, honestly. This is the iData Flash Drive from MiLi,and I have been wanting to review it for a while. Simply put, the MiLi iData is essentially a thumb drive for an iDevice. As you can see, it has a Lightning connector and it … [Read more...] about MiLi iData Flash Drive
Speculative Fiction Friday: Darkman, and how did I miss this one?
Yes, you read right, this is Darkman. I realize that this film is 26 years old, but I have no idea how I missed it. I remember seeing a preview for it while I was waiting for Back to the Future III to start, and I realized that makes me old, because this was the summer after I graduated high school. I actually think that I was starting college when this film came out, so … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Darkman, and how did I miss this one?
CES 2016: The Future is Mesh
Every year, I come to CES as a media representative, and the show is kind enough to provide the media or press with a bag. Needless to say, my family and I got a lot of use from these bags over the years, and these backbags or handbags can usually carry a laptop. Below is an example of a bag that CES used to give out, but to the right is a picture of me with this year's … [Read more...] about CES 2016: The Future is Mesh
Yeah, we are here at CES!
In case you are not aware, Kris and I are at CES 2016. If you don't know what CES is, it is a big tech convention held annually every year at Las Vegas. We went through a lot of travel to get here and we are definitely going to be hitting the showfloor, attending parties, and attempting to see the best on display as far as technology is concerned. We'll be covering … [Read more...] about Yeah, we are here at CES!
