Every once in a while, I see a review of a product that I may never get a chance to try myself, and today it is the Sprout PC. It is a one-piece PC that could easily create a standard. Sprout is a 23-inch touchscreen that has Windows 8.1, 8 gigabytes of memory, and a terabyte hard drive. In addition to the wireless mouse and keyboard, it has a 20-inch mat. The mat locks … [Read more...] about HP’s Sprout PC is loaded with features

Cygnett ChargeUp 11000 mAh Pro Powerbank
Yes, I have reviewed Cygnett products before, and I have reviewed mobile batteries before. I suppose what I am going to have to say that the more mAh, the better, and so the ChargeUp Pro Powerbank has them. However, there is more to a mobile battery than just a micro USB input and two USB ports. The ports are 1 A and 2.1 A USB ports. Oh, then there is the indicator … [Read more...] about Cygnett ChargeUp 11000 mAh Pro Powerbank
Plan V can use a 9 Volt Battery to charge your phone
You know what is funny? Power used to be synonymous with batteries, but I'm guessing that the battery business went down since smartphones came about. After all, with an app for that, all you need is to charge your phone. Hence the rise of the mobile battery business. I'm going to discuss a new type of mobile battery later this week, but for now, I'm going to discuss the … [Read more...] about Plan V can use a 9 Volt Battery to charge your phone
Stelle Audio Mini-Clutch Speaker
I have to admit that I am not the audience for the Stelle Audio Mini-Clutch speaker. This is because I am male, and I don't use a clutch, or a purse for that matter. I think it is funny that women have purses and men are apparently supposed to have wallets. Of course, I usually have to lug my laptop around, so have a laptop. Of course, I have reviewed a lot of Bluetooth … [Read more...] about Stelle Audio Mini-Clutch Speaker

They offer full body and screen protectors for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. For those who are not familiar with this protection, it uses thin-film protection technology to keep your device scratch-proof.

The iGrill Mini from iDevices
I've reviewed iDevice products before, and I am referring to a company known as iDevices Inc, not the generic term used for devices compatible with Apple products. The last product I reviewed was the iShower, and it was quite a cool Bluetooth speaker. Today, I'm going to talk about the iGrill mini, a Bluetooth thermometer. It is designed for grilling, which will let you … [Read more...] about The iGrill Mini from iDevices
Speculative Ficiton Saturday, Miyazaki Month: Princess Mononoke
I'll go ahead and end this Miyazaki's month with Princess Mononoke, which some argue is Hayao's masterpiece. Personally, I have already stated that Castle In the Sky is my favorite of all his works, but I will say that most of his films are just fantastic. I also realize that there are some films that I left out, and I'll cover just a few at the end of this review, kind of … [Read more...] about Speculative Ficiton Saturday, Miyazaki Month: Princess Mononoke
Hard Rubber for the iPhone 6 by SKECH
I was pleased to see some more SKECH products come in the mail, because I reviewed some of their other products like the Polo Book for the Galaxy S5 and the Crystal iPhone 6 case. Today, I got a little early Christmas present with the Hard Rubber for the iPhone 6. The Hard Rubber has a hard shell exterior, and on the inside is a soft touch surface. It definitely has some … [Read more...] about Hard Rubber for the iPhone 6 by SKECH
Jstyle Leather Wallet Case for the iPhone 6 Plus from iLuv
Okay, I'm just going to just begin this review by saying this. If you have an iPhone 6 Plus, just go out and buy yourself an iLuv Jstyle. Yeah, I can't think of any product that I began a review like this. The Jstyle is made of genuine leather with a Saffiano finish, and it is a premium wallet and case for the iPhone 6 Plus. In fact, it is essentially a place for your … [Read more...] about Jstyle Leather Wallet Case for the iPhone 6 Plus from iLuv
HiFiMAN RE300a InLine Control Earphones
It's been a while since I reported on any HiFiMAN products. They have some pretty quality goods, and I had a chance to try out the RE300a InLine Control Earphones. HiFiMAN's logo is "Innovating the Art of Listening", and I think that means they are one of those companies that really take their audio seriously, not just out to make a quick buck. On the box, it says that … [Read more...] about HiFiMAN RE300a InLine Control Earphones
ZAGG Slim Book Ultra-Slim Tablet Keyboard and Detachable Case
I have reviewed a lot of keyboards in the past with ZAGG, and I can honestly say that if you have reviewed one, you haven't reviewed them all. ZAGG makes a lot of keyboards, and I was glad to review the ZAGG Slim Book for the iPad Air. So what makes this one different? Well, it has a case that you can lock onto the iPad Air, and then you lock it on the side of the … [Read more...] about ZAGG Slim Book Ultra-Slim Tablet Keyboard and Detachable Case
Amazon is ready for the holiday with their Kiva robots
What you are going to see in the video above is some robots at work. As far as I know, and what my Source reveals, this video pretty much shows what looks like at Amazon. Amazon bought Kiva Systems, presumably so the world's biggest bookstore could have a way to move all of its merchandise around into packages. These robots go about the floor and then they lift stacks … [Read more...] about Amazon is ready for the holiday with their Kiva robots
The Philips Norelco Click&Style
It isn't often that I get to review electronic razors, but I did leap at the chance to review the Philips Norelco Click&Style, and I believe that it is just one word. I suppose that the biggest feature of the Click&Style is the fact that you can just quickly click on and off the razor, beard trimmer, or bodygroom. Since this is a product made for men, then you know how … [Read more...] about The Philips Norelco Click&Style
Speculative Fiction Saturday, Miyazaki Month: Spirited Away
Okay, today's film could be considered Miyazaki's best, as it did win an Oscar. It actually beat out several others like Monsters, Inc. and was the first anime to receive this award. Spirited Away is really one of the most mysterious films of Miyazaki, and I'll do my best to try and interpret what it means. Let's start from the beginning. Chihiro is an ordinary girl who … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday, Miyazaki Month: Spirited Away
Flic Button gives your smartphone one-button possibilities
Clearly, our world has changed since Apple told us "there's an app for that". As the video above explains, sometimes you just want to push a button and do something, instead of, I don't know, unlocking your phone and doing it. I have to admire Flic button for doing that. A single press will do one thing, and a double press do another. The things that you can do with … [Read more...] about Flic Button gives your smartphone one-button possibilities
