I mentioned in my article about the BlackBerry Priv that I am often surprised that certain tech companies still exists. Today, the Internet was all abuzz that Betamax is now dead. Seriously? I mean, I barely remember Betamax from the early eighties, as an alternative to VHS. This was back when VCRs were beginning to be in everyone's house, and this was essentially a … [Read more...] about Betamax is officially dead; Wait, wasn’t it dead already?

The Helmet from iFamCare
What you are seeing here is not necessarily a helmet, and I am not really certain why it is called that. I guess it kind of looks like one...anyway, the iFamCare is a good way of watching your connected home. The iFamCare Helmet has 360 degree coverage on the horizontal and 70 degrees of vertical. You can install the Wi-Fi to your home network and view anywhere on 3G, … [Read more...] about The Helmet from iFamCare
Squito 360-Degree Throwable Panoramic Camera
This is going to be another time where I'm going to talk about how 360 Degree cameras are just going to take over, and how we are all going to need some Oculus Rifts to view it all. This is a pretty fascinating thing called the Squito, and it isn't a toy ball but a panormaic camera that you can just toss around. There are three separate cameras, which involves video and … [Read more...] about Squito 360-Degree Throwable Panoramic Camera
Just Watch the Nostalgia Critic if you aren’t already.
Yes, that is me in the middle, and the Nostalgia Critic on the right. On the left is Rob Walker, the Nostalgia Critic's brother, and this picture was taken at MomoCon 2015 in Atlanta two weeks ago. Okay, about a few years ago, I remembered hearing of a movie called Delgo, and I had never heard of it. Apparently, it was one of the worst computer-generated films of all … [Read more...] about Just Watch the Nostalgia Critic if you aren’t already.
Bjork’s newest video goes full 360
I have to admit that I might know a few contemporary songs here and there, but I rarely watch videos these days. I also have to admit that I have barely heard of Bjork, but I think I heard that she attended some event in a swan dress. Her newest video is in 360, and I can't seem to understand the lyrics, but it is quite interesting to see what can be done with it. I have … [Read more...] about Bjork’s newest video goes full 360
My Review of the V.360, a 360 Degree Camera
I'm going to be honest with you and say that I have been wanting to review the V.360 from VSN Mobil for a long time. In fact, I may have received it before CES 2015, and I was hoping to take it with me there. My plan was to film events with it, and then do a lot of videos that you could watch by dragging around a 2D video so you can view an event from all angles. This … [Read more...] about My Review of the V.360, a 360 Degree Camera
CJ 4DPlex could create some interesting theater experiences
When Avatar first hit the theaters in 2009, it was a terrific way that 3D got people back into the movie houses. People actually saw that film several times, and I can't remember when that has ever happened. There were a lot of 3D imitations after that, but the fad (which has happened several times in several eras) has passed, honestly. The only thing left to do after 3D … [Read more...] about CJ 4DPlex could create some interesting theater experiences
Google releases YouTube for Kids App for Android Devices
Well, I think we all know that Google owns both Android and YouTube, so it stands to reason that they have created a YouTube app for Android devices, for kids! Oh wait, it also delivered this kid-friendly YouTube app for iOS devices too. Considering that my kids spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos, it stands to reason why they would do this. It is full of … [Read more...] about Google releases YouTube for Kids App for Android Devices
The Avegant Glyph Media Goggles
This is a product that I saw at CES, and I have to admit, just seeing it says something about our society. It's almost as if this is some performance art piece showing how our headphone-wearing society is blinding us. However, these are the Glyph media goggles from Avegant. Just to let you know, the Oculus Rift this is not. However, it does have some DLP display technology … [Read more...] about The Avegant Glyph Media Goggles
AeroMobiil 3.0 Flying Car
From now until Christmas, I am probably going to be writing about whatever products that I can get my hands on. However, I do like to write about a nifty gadget every once in a while, such as the AeroMobil 3.0 flying car. What can I say, it is a flying car! Surely we have to have that by 2015, along with the hoverboard. The Aero Mobil 3.0 has recently been certified by … [Read more...] about AeroMobiil 3.0 Flying Car
Facebook and Oculus Rift could create a new form of film
In case you don't know about the Oculus Rift, but it is a VR headset that definitely has more potential than...Virtual Boy. We reported that Facebook bought the headset company a while ago, but what do they intend to do with it? Well, the answer could lie with last year's Comic-Con. Actually, it was this year, but apparently the Oculus Rift was a part of a lot of exhibits. … [Read more...] about Facebook and Oculus Rift could create a new form of film
The VIZIO 2.1 Sound Stand
VIZIO has certainly made a name for itself in the television business, and they are at home in whatever entertainment center they are in. They have recently announced the 2.1 Sound Stand, which will allow a virtual sound experience with some good bass. I'm not certain how good the sound is, but it is made for places without too much space. It measures only 3 inches in … [Read more...] about The VIZIO 2.1 Sound Stand
The Slingbox M1
One of the biggest problems with having cable television is you spend a lot of money to get quality programing, but you have to be home to watch it. Wouldn't it be terrific to have some way to watch all that TV that you paid for anywhere in the world? This is exactly what the Slingbox M1 can do. It promises "watch anywhere", which includes on your mobile devices or even … [Read more...] about The Slingbox M1
Darbee Darblet DVP-5000 HDMI Video Processor
Every once in a while, I see some device that must be specialty or something. I don't know if you have heard of the Darblet HDMI Video Processor, but I would recommend this to any videophile. The Darblet DVP 5000 is a small box that you can see here, and it increases the resolution on your Blu-ray, video game player, or anything else that takes HDMI. All that is required … [Read more...] about Darbee Darblet DVP-5000 HDMI Video Processor
Microsoft has an All-in-One Media Keyboard
I think we all know that the computer isn't the only screen that we use a keyboard for. I suppose that Microsoft's All-In-One Media Keyboard is made for that screen in the living room. This keyboard has a multi-touch trackpad for clicking, dragging, dropping, zooming, and swiping, just like you would on a laptop. Considering that we all are looking at content on our TVs … [Read more...] about Microsoft has an All-in-One Media Keyboard
