I have talked about smartwatches before, and how they are really made for just notifications that are in sync with your smartphone. The problem is that one's finger is almost as big as the screen, so you can't really use apps in the same way you can on a smartphone or tablet. According to researchers from Carnegie Mellon, the solution is to make the smartwatch controller … [Read more...] about Smartwatches could get a new way of interface with this technology

Lunecase: A protective case powered by electromagnetic radiation
It seems like I keep hearing stuff about how cell phones emit electromagnetic radiation, and can't help but wonder if it will really be harmful. This is one of those issues like climate change, where one side thinks there is a definite connection, while the other isn't certain whether there is enough scientific evidence. Whatever the answer is, apparently this particular … [Read more...] about Lunecase: A protective case powered by electromagnetic radiation
If you are interested, they have assembled the cast of Star Wars Episode VII
Yesterday, I mentioned that I was trying to be a bit more serious on my technology reporting, but I couldn't help reporting on the finding of E.T. Atari 2600 games. I guess I have too much of a personal connection to them, just like I have with Star Wars. In case you haven't heard, Disney bought Star Wars for about 4 billion. The first thing that they want to do is make … [Read more...] about If you are interested, they have assembled the cast of Star Wars Episode VII
Acer unveils the Iconia One 7, Tab 7 Tablets, and the Switch 10
In New York today, Acer made a big announcement about three particular tablets. I won't go into detail about some other announcements like the smartphone, but here's the info about the tablets. I'll start with the Iconia One 7 tablet, with a 7-inch LED backlit IPS display with 1,280 x 800 pixle resolution. It features Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with promises to update to Kit … [Read more...] about Acer unveils the Iconia One 7, Tab 7 Tablets, and the Switch 10
E.T. Atari 2600 game found
In this next week, I am going to be changing gears on this blog and will devote my time writing on it to more serious technological comics. Sure, it will still be geeky, and who knows, I might report on stuff like this in the future. I will have to say that I have a kind of personal connection to this. As a kid, I loved the Atari 2600, and I also liked E.T.. When the … [Read more...] about E.T. Atari 2600 game found
Xapo: A Debit Card for Bitcoin
I actually think this is the first time I have ever mentioned Bitcoin on this particular blog. If you are not familiar with it, it is a type of digital currency that is made for P2P (peer to peer) that works for worldwide payments with zero or low processing fees. I guess it was about time that someone invented the Xapo Debit Card, which works on a similar method to other … [Read more...] about Xapo: A Debit Card for Bitcoin
The Rollick by iLuv
I believe that Dr. Dre's Beats has created this pill-shaped speaker, and it looks like iLuv have come out with their own version. I'm going to look at this as coincidental design. The Rollick, which I will have to say sounds a lot like my last name, has dual speakers for producing awesome sound. This is a wireless speaker with Bluetooth, or aux-in wired possibility as … [Read more...] about The Rollick by iLuv
Jabra Rox Wireless
Yeah, at this point, there is no way I am going to give a negative review of a Jabra product. Their Bluetooth wireless products occupy my ear every day, and they have been in the business for a long time. I'm not going to bother trying to describe the sound of the new Rox Wireless, because how am I supposed to do that in written form? I'll just tell you that it has the … [Read more...] about Jabra Rox Wireless
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Coneheads, and it isn’t good
Well, I hesitate to call this speculative fiction, as The Coneheads has always been more comedy than it has been speculative. In case you are not familiar with The Coneheads, it was originally a sketch from Saturday Night Live. I have seen a few of The Coneheads sketches from the 1970's, and they are pretty funny. The premise was that two aliens, Beldar (Dan Aykroyd) and … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Coneheads, and it isn’t good
Al Fayah Park will be a stunning addition to Abu Dhabi
I don't know if you are familiar with the city of Abu Dhabi, but it is quite a city of the future in the midst of the desert. It is the home to Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. Now there is this plan for Al Fayah Park, which is an artificially created oasis in the midst of an ersatz desert. In the Park are "cafés, community gardens, a public library, … [Read more...] about Al Fayah Park will be a stunning addition to Abu Dhabi
@7PM by Looq System
As I mentioned before in my review for the Blumoo, people are using their smartphones for all kinds of controllers. The product known as @7PM by Looq system is meant to change the smartphone into a master Universal remote. The @7PM, which I will have to admit has an odd name, and I can't turn off the automatic link to this one guy's Twitter site. This product is … [Read more...] about @7PM by Looq System
Logitech Ultrathin Bluetooth keyboard for all iPad models
I have reviewed a lot of iPad keyboards in my time, and I have to admit that the Logitech Ultrathin looks similar to other types of products that I have reviewed. What makes the Ultrathin different is that it is ultra-thinner and lighter than products before it. You should be able to use it for protection as you can use it to cover the vulnerable or touchscreen side. As … [Read more...] about Logitech Ultrathin Bluetooth keyboard for all iPad models
Kittyo is an Internet cat lovers dream
I think we all know that the Internet is ruled by cat videos and other types of videos that I won't mention, so this Kittyo is just a gift for all cat lovers on the Internet everywhere. What is this, you say? Well, you're probably not saying that, but this is quite a device for those who want to take care of cats from a distance. Okay, you probably don't want to do that … [Read more...] about Kittyo is an Internet cat lovers dream
Amazon’s new phone is promising a lot of nifty features
Lately, I have been hearing a lot of cool stuff, but nothing really confirmed, about a new smartphone from Amazon. I wish that I would just get the press release, but they just haven't done anything big since the Fire TV announcement a few weeks ago. The latest news about Amazon's smartphone is this feature that involves certain things to be revealed when the user tilts … [Read more...] about Amazon’s new phone is promising a lot of nifty features
Apple to Samsung: Copy this, please!
I think we all know that Apple and Samsung are kind of like Frememies. I believe that Apple is always suing Samsung for stealing their ideas, and I can't honestly give an unbiased view here. After all, practically every smartphone (not just the ones that Samsung makes) looks just like the iPhone since its release in 2007. As you can see in this image here, Apple took out … [Read more...] about Apple to Samsung: Copy this, please!
