Okay, I decided to write about this because it is not an issue that is affecting us now, but it will. I mean, my Source shows that there will be eight billion connected devices such as smartphones, tablets, smart glasses, and other wearables. So, why have a headline that says "are smartphones dead?" I mean, that's like saying that televisions are on their way out, … [Read more...] about The Smartphone on its way out? A.I. could take its place

MokaCam is a GoPro Killer and Everything that Implies
GoPro is big. Big, period. Big, exclamation point. This is not a GoPro, but the MokaCam is a "GoPro Killer". Oh yeah, they said it. Yeah, this is MokaCam, and it is a 45 x 45 mm with 4K video potential. Yeah, let's see the GoPro Hero do that! Oh, yeah, it does. There is a battery with magnets so you can stick to metallic surfaces. I don't think that the GoPro Hero … [Read more...] about MokaCam is a GoPro Killer and Everything that Implies
Samsung and Skybound Entertainment Presents VR movie Gone
Last January, when I attended CES, Samsung was bragging that it was going to bring Milk VR to their Smart TVs, and I had heard that the people who make the The Walking Dead series would be preparing it. It looks like some of this is happening, as there will be Gone. Gone is an interactive story which is about a daughter who disappears in the daylight. There is a lot of … [Read more...] about Samsung and Skybound Entertainment Presents VR movie Gone
Our Review of Lander’s Neve Charging Cable and Powell Cases
I have reported about Lander products before, very recently, in fact. I got a chance to review the Neve Charging Cable and the Powell Case. I'll start with the Powell Case. It is pretty good with a Slim Fit, with raised bezel, textured edges, and some stylish ridges. As you can see, the case on the iPhone looks like the bottom of a raft. Too bad that it doesn't float. … [Read more...] about Our Review of Lander’s Neve Charging Cable and Powell Cases
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Maze Runner
Okay, this particular film has a particular place in my heart, because I have written a book known as The Labyrinth House that has a...somewhat similar plotline. I've already talked about the similarities on another post, and I just don't think that I want to kill that dead horse all over again. This is based on a book by James Dashner, and I suppose that this successful … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Maze Runner
ROCCAT NYTH MMO Gaming Mouse
I have reviewed ROCCAT's products before, such as the Kone Pure and the Kone [+], and both were gaming mice. The Nyth is a an MMO mouse, and it looks like it is made for the professionals. I first saw it at PAX Prime, and I didn't know why it was called Nyth, and I didn't get an answer. Anyway, the issue with this mouse is it is really interchangeable. There is this … [Read more...] about ROCCAT NYTH MMO Gaming Mouse
The Legacy of Star Wars Cards
I believe that I've done a good job explaining why I am not looking forward to the next Star Wars movie. The issue is that the original trilogy is part of my childhood, and as it turns out, I am not alone. When I was young, I loved having the Star Wars toys, the figures, and the cards. I was in kindergarten when the original 1977 movie came out, and all the other kids … [Read more...] about The Legacy of Star Wars Cards
Black and Decker Auto Flex Vac and Auto Pivot Vac
I'm sure that if you hear the words "Black and Decker" you are going think about power tools. I had the chance to try out two of their products, and they were both vacuum cleaners, both of them are essentially designed for cars. The Black and Decker Auto Flex Vac has a very compact design, and it has a 16 foot long extension cord to fit is designed for the 12 V Cigarette … [Read more...] about Black and Decker Auto Flex Vac and Auto Pivot Vac

Sadly, it sounds like the Hong Kong company has been hacked. In fact, the personal information of about 5 million of its customers and their children may have been stolen by hackers. So far, this database includes the … [Read more...] about VTech has been hacked, like Five Million times!
Monster ClarityHD High Definition In-Ear Headphones
In case you aren't familiar with Monster, it does refer to a place to find an energy drink, find a job, a Charlize Theron movie, and a place to get cables and other tech products. I see this company every year at CES, and I was very impressed with their Head Monster Noel Lee, and sat down with him for an interview. I had the chance to try out their ClarityHD High-Performance … [Read more...] about Monster ClarityHD High Definition In-Ear Headphones
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Maleficent
Most people who see Disney's Maleficent, a prequel/midquel/retelling/reboot, and they don't like it. I can understand where they are coming from, as most people seem to compare it to its source material, that animated Sleeping Beauty. I must confess, it has been a while since I saw Sleeping Beauty, but I don't really remember much about it. Most people who remember the … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Maleficent

Yes, there are a lot of interesting features on the Gripster, and one of them is the grip. It is this elastic strap where two fingers can be placed and the iPad can be held very steady.

The Geek Church’s “Saving Thanksgiving”
I haven't seen Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas, but I did see the Cinema Snob's commentary on it, and I honestly don't really need to see it to know how bad it is. Of course, whenever I see something so bad I have to see the good in it. Considering that this film is considered one of the worst films of all time, and I actually believe has the top spot there, there isn't … [Read more...] about The Geek Church’s “Saving Thanksgiving”

So, now that we have another day to look at some Native Union products, I'm pleased to say that I am quite glad with what I see and have tried out. I'll start with the CLIC 360. I'm not certain why it is called CLIC, but it has the 360 label because it surrounds the case. So yeah, there are a lot of cases, so what makes this one different? Well, the interior has … [Read more...] about Native Union Part 2: CLIC 360 and CLIC Marble for the iPhone 6/6S/6/6S Plus
STM Atlas Wallet Case for the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus
I have reviewed a lot of STM products in the past, like the STM Blazer Small Jacket Sleeve and I have also reviewed many cases for smartphones that are wallets. In fact, it is starting to become a new standard. That being said, the only thing to talk about the STM Atlas wallet case for the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus is what is different.
