Okay, with Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2015 going on in Barcelona, there are a lot of announcements going on, and we have some confirmation on some, but not on others. First of all, Samsung did announce the Galaxy S6 as well as the Galaxy S6 Edge. The Edge is the first phone with a curved touchscreen, but it is not as advanced as the Galaxy Note Edge. By the way, the … [Read more...] about Mobile World Congress 2015: What we know so far

Our Lego Batman 3 Review!
Well, after my review of Lego The Hobbit last week, I figured that I should finally review Lego Batman 3. I will have to say that I was pretty pleased with Lego Batman 2, but it has been a while since I played it. One of the things that Lego Batman was able to do was somehow capture the campy spirit of the original Batman 1966 series and mix it with the more darker … [Read more...] about Our Lego Batman 3 Review!
Introducing the Valve’s Virtual Reality Headset with the HTC Vive
As we mentioned last week, Mobile World Congress 2015 is happening this week, and there are a lot of new mobile devices that will be unveiled this week.

That's right, there is going to … [Read more...] about Introducing the Valve’s Virtual Reality Headset with the HTC Vive
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Transformers, Age of Extinction
Okay, this is the last time I'll be reviewing a Transformers movie, at least this month. Personally, I still think this franchise has at least one good movie left in it, but they'll probably make one good one, plus three bad cash-ins. When that happens, a decade from now, perhaps we will do Transformers month once again. Okay, I honestly don't think there was supposed to … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Transformers, Age of Extinction

Jakks Pacific RC Hulk Smash
As we go into May, there will be more and more hype for Avengers: Age of Ultron. I have no idea if this toy from Jakks Pacific is supposed to represent some scene from the new movie, but it certainly is a very cool toy. Seriously, not only is it remotely controlled, but it has the Hulk sitting on a Hummer for some wheels. There are stunts like wheelies and spins. In … [Read more...] about Jakks Pacific RC Hulk Smash

CastAR is picking up steam for Virtual Reality
It was about a year ago, we reported on the CastAR, a virtual reality system that had very high aspirations. As you can see by the above video, they are still hoping to get in on this new age of VR. We are not yet living in the age of the Oculus Rift, but these glasses have a projection screen and use two teeny 720p projectors mounted on top of the glasses to send out the … [Read more...] about CastAR is picking up steam for Virtual Reality
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

Weego Rechargeable Battery Pack Compact
Okay, we are reviewing another mobile battery with the Weego Rechargeable Battery Pack! I'm beginning to think that we should change the name of this tech and gadget blog just to talk about it. So by now you know the drill, I talk about how inconvenient it is to have your smartphone and tablet run out of power, and how you need some juice at a critical moment. So it is … [Read more...] about Weego Rechargeable Battery Pack Compact
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Transformers Month, Part 3, Dark of the Moon
I keep calling this film "Dark Side of the Moon", but it is actually "Dark of the Moon". I guess Pink Floyd has the trademark on the former. I would have to say that this is my second favorite of the Transformers series, and I think that it is just because of the action. I remember seeing it in some dollar theater and wishing that I had paid full price to see it in 3D. … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Transformers Month, Part 3, Dark of the Moon
Juicer lets you charge a smartphone with a smartphone
Man, you know I love reporting on crowdfunded projects, and they often come up with some tech that really should be out right now, but just isn't. The Juicer is one of those products. All it is a double ended microUSB cable and you plug one end into one smartphone and then plug one end into the other. One gets juiced, and the other presumably gets drained. Apparently … [Read more...] about Juicer lets you charge a smartphone with a smartphone
