What you are seeing here is the LoopPay Card, and it is virtually payment system that is accepted at over 10 million stores and restaurants.

Range-R knows when you are home
I'm not a big fan of USA Today, but I see their headlines on my way to work, and I saw that they had on the front cover a device that can see through walls. This is not technically true, as the Range-R motion detector can only detect whether you are moving or breathing. It reminds me of the movement detectors held by the doomed soldiers in the film Aliens, and it doesn't … [Read more...] about Range-R knows when you are home
A summary of the Windows 10 event
In case you haven't heard, there was a big announcement today as far as Windows 10 was concerned. Microsoft even had themselves a conference up in Washington and everything. The first is that Windows 10 will cost you nothing. That's right, zip. You will have opportunity to get a free upgrade in the first year for all users of Windows 7, Windows 8.1, or Windows Phone … [Read more...] about A summary of the Windows 10 event
I can’t stand this stupid Target ad!
Okay, I watch a lot of videos, and I keep seeing the same ads over and over. Target has these ads for their mobile programs that are just annoying, and this one just doesn't make any sense at all. I'm just going to pretend that you took the fourteen seconds to watch it. You would not believe how long it took me to find it on YouTube. I tried "Target ad and variations of … [Read more...] about I can’t stand this stupid Target ad!
Product Shout Out: Phiaton BT 220 NC earbuds, as well as Chord MS 530 and Bride MS 500 headphones
Welcome to a new category on this show that I would like to call, Product Shout Out. I've been seeing Phiaton for years at CES, and I think it is time that I take the time to put a spotlight on their products. I'm going to focus today on three particular nice looking ones with the BT 220 NC earphones, the and the. The BT 220 NC are earbuds that are wireless thanks to the … [Read more...] about Product Shout Out: Phiaton BT 220 NC earbuds, as well as Chord MS 530 and Bride MS 500 headphones
The Clio Invisible Bluetooth Speaker from Clearview Audio
While I was at CES 2015, I had a chance to see the Clio, an invisible 2.1 Bluetooth speaker that you can see here. I couldn't help but think that I had seen it before, but I just couldn't place where. I suppose that the Clio Invisible Bluetooth Speaker is made to fit in within to any room. It isn't like a regular speaker, which is usually ebony black, but as you can see, … [Read more...] about The Clio Invisible Bluetooth Speaker from Clearview Audio
Tech21 Technology’s Classic Trio, Classic Shell, and Impact Mesh
I have had a chance to try out Tech21 technology products before, and they make some very quality products. The color orange is a huge factor, as it is on their packaging and their products. The Orange is some D30 impact material that is that type of putty you can put on your finger, strike with a hammer, and you won't feel it. The first item that I will review is the … [Read more...] about Tech21 Technology’s Classic Trio, Classic Shell, and Impact Mesh
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
Skydrop Sprinkler Controller
These days, it seems like everything is connected to your smartphone these days. I suppose that it is only a matter of time before sprinklers had this type of control. I have no idea if the Skydrop is the first to do this, but it won't be the last. You might think that the purpose of the Skydrop is to time a way to start and stop your sprinklers. Yes, it can do that, … [Read more...] about Skydrop Sprinkler Controller
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Mockingjay, Part 1
Okay, let's talk about trilogies. Ever since the Star Wars original, they have been box office gold. If the trilogy is good, then that third one is worth the wait. If that second movie isn't so good, the third one still gets money because people think: "this probably won't be good, so let's just get this over with". So what do I think about the third film of the Hunger … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Mockingjay, Part 1
My review of the eTAPE 16
While I was at CES 2015, I had a cool chance to see many great gadgets, including the eTAPE 16. I am not certain if I have ever seen a technological tape measure before, but I would like to see more advances in it. It has a Large Digital Display on top, which means that you don't even have to look at the tape to get your measurement. So what good is that? Well, you can … [Read more...] about My review of the eTAPE 16
Stelle Audio PIllar Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
I recently just discovered Stelle Audio, and they really make some classy products like the Clutch Mini-Speaker that I reviewed a while ago. Their products look like they would be at home in the house of a millionaire. Many tech products are really designed to be practical, but very few are made to be fashionable. Stelle Audio crosses that line that really needs to be … [Read more...] about Stelle Audio PIllar Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
Beyerdynamic MMX 102 iE and iDX 120 iE Earbuds
It is been a while since I reviewed a beyerdynamic product before, and the last time was one of the T 51 headphones. This time, I got to review two pairs of earbuds with the iDX 120 iE and the MMX 102 iE. Yes, they are very similar in name, and slightly similar in design as well. I'll go ahead and start with the MMX 102 iE. Of course I am going to tell you that it has … [Read more...] about Beyerdynamic MMX 102 iE and iDX 120 iE Earbuds
BluBed Headset Holster
This device I discovered at CES, and I had a chance to try it out as well. It is a device that really needs to be tried out. Simply put, the BluBed is a holster for your Bluetooth headset. You might ask why you might need one. Ask yourself this question then: where is your Bluetooth headset now? If you are like me, you keep a Bluetooth headset in your pocket. Since … [Read more...] about BluBed Headset Holster
Amzer CRUSTA Case and Kristal Screen Protector
I have reviewed Amzer products before, and I have always been pleased with them. I had a chance to review two after CES, and they include the Crusta and Kristal, both for the Samsung Galaxy S5. I'll start with the Crusta, which is a four-layered case that is somewhat stylish as well. Let's talk about the layers: The first is a tempered glass screen protector, which … [Read more...] about Amzer CRUSTA Case and Kristal Screen Protector
