It's been a while since I reviewed some good Native Union products, and I was pleased to try out several new products that I am going to review during Black Friday week, and I will recommend them for holiday gifts. I'll start with the POWERLink, a charging cable that looks like it is in the shape of a woman with a long dress. Okay, I hope that no one thinks it's weird … [Read more...] about Native Union Part 1: POWERLink and Switch Bluetooth Speaker
Tech Reviews
Man Enters Apple Store with Samurai Sword
This is an interesting time that we live in after the Paris attacks. I actually was going to publish an article about those, but my editor at the other website that I write for thought it would bring too much fear. I decided not to publish the op-ed piece, and I recently heard that this story happened as a man with a samurai sword entered the 5th Avenue Apple Store. He … [Read more...] about Man Enters Apple Store with Samurai Sword
Lander Neve Charge and Sync Cable, Powell Phone Cases, and Carriers
BGZ Brands has recently unveiled a new brand known as Lander, and it is one of those tech accessories made for outdoor enthusiasts, kind of like EKUSA products. I'm hoping to get some hands-on review products of these, but this is what I've seen from them, and it's pretty impressive. For example, there is a Neve cable that is flat and made for Apple, USB to Micro USB, … [Read more...] about Lander Neve Charge and Sync Cable, Powell Phone Cases, and Carriers
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Fantastic Four
Some of you might remember when I did my review of CHAPPiE that I tried to say something positive about it, even though that on the whole, I didn't like the film. The issue with Fantastic Four is I have never seen any film that is so thoroughly disengaging. It's pretty clear why Marvel wanted to do a Fantastic Four movie, and yes, money is one of the reasons. The … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Fantastic Four
Kidz Gear Unplugged Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headphones
I was fortunate enough to review the Kidz Gear headphones after CES, and you can read my wife's review about that. I guess that since they made some wired ones, it just makes sense for them to make some Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headphones, called Unplugged. If you know anything about Kidz Gear, it is precisely what the name implies, if it was spelled properly, you know, … [Read more...] about Kidz Gear Unplugged Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headphones
Hasbro has created this robotic cat, for senior citizens!
I'm sure you're all familiar with Hasbro, as they own the rights to Transformers, My Little Pony, and they make all the Star Wars and Marvel toys, too. Yeah, they rule when it comes to making products for little kids, and now there is a "toy" for seniors. Yeah, you know how senior citizens are like loving cats, but the cats get all bad about their litter box? Well, why … [Read more...] about Hasbro has created this robotic cat, for senior citizens!
Samsung Gear VR available on T-Mobile November 27th
As I have stated before, I love virtual reality, and the Gear VR is the only one that I haven't really tested yet. Actually, it is powered by Oculus, and I tried out the Oculus Rift, and the Gear VR is powered by Oculus. I was actually surprised that the Gear VR is out pretty much practically now, as most of the other virtual reality headsets won't be out until 2016. At … [Read more...] about Samsung Gear VR available on T-Mobile November 27th
Our Review of the Nomad Wallet for the iPhone, and it’s a good one!
I always love reviewing Nomad products, such as the NomadKey, NomadClip, and NomadPlus. This company always has a way of putting chargers in places where they are most convenient, and the Nomad Wallet is no exception. In fact, it really excels the charger into a whole new realm. Most of us, when we leave the house, we take our keys, phone, wallet, and mobile … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Nomad Wallet for the iPhone, and it’s a good one!
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The CBS Supergirl Show
When I first heard that they were making a Supergirl series, my first thought was "why". Supergirl is one of those characters that has been reworked many times over the years, but this isn't uncommon among superheroes. However, Superman, Batman, and Spider-man have very consistent origin stories, but Supergirl has changed a number of times. It is interesting to see that … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The CBS Supergirl Show
Our Review of the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 640 3LCD Projector
I have reviewed an Epson Projector before with the PowerLite Home Cinema 3000, and I was pleased to review the Home Cinema 640. I was pleased that the Home Cinema 640 was very easy to set up, and it can produce images of up to 300 inches. I wish that I had a wall in my house that could support a 25 foot diagonal. The Home Cinema 640 has 3 LCD Projects with up to 3x … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 640 3LCD Projector
Our Review of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Final Cut
You can see by the unnecessarily drawn-out title of this game that it is just so full of awesome. At least, it is trying to be, but I will have to be the judge of whether or not it succeeds with this review. The issue is that The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Final Cut is actually a trilogy of 10 hour campaigns with various multiplayer modes, and it has sold over 1 … [Read more...] about Our Review of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Final Cut
Betamax is officially dead; Wait, wasn’t it dead already?
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 Priv: Can this Android Phone Save BlackBerry
There are certain companies that seem like they shouldn't be around like Nintendo and now BlackBerry. It looks like BlackBerry Priv is an Android phone that could change that. Apparently, BlackBerry has to sell 5 million of these in order to stay in the consumer handset business. It has a screen that slides up to reveal a keyboard, which is kind of passe when it comes to … [Read more...] about The Priv: Can this Android Phone Save BlackBerry
Is James Bond Relevant Today?
Now that Spectre is out in theaters now, this has left people with mixed reviews about James Bond. Normally, I talk about movies over the weekend, but these are speculative fiction films. I will have to say that I like James Bond, sometimes, and James Bond can be pretty speculative sometimes. I think the question we have to ask ourselves is why James Bond has last over … [Read more...] about Is James Bond Relevant Today?
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Top 9 Best and Worst Star Trek DS9 Episodes
Well, what can I say about Star Trek? This was the fourth series, and it was meant to spin off from Star Trek: The Next Generation, with one minor crew member joining the cast, and a major crew member joining later on. This was Star Trek's effort at doing something new. The idea was that the action would take place in a space station and not a spaceship. In this case, … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Top 9 Best and Worst Star Trek DS9 Episodes
