I think it is interesting that most of us have cellular phones so we can be reached anywhere, but somehow, I miss most of my phone calls. Part of it is my fault, as I often mute my phone during an event and then forget to unmute it later. Imagine if your cellular phone gave you a more visual cue that it was ringing. I am not talking about something on the screen that … [Read more...] about Enter Morephone, the smartphone of the future!

Speculative Fiction Friday: Speed Racer
Lately, I have been watching these videos from the Nostalgia Critic. If you aren't familiar with him, you can find him on over 300 videos on YouTube, and he really gives bad movies a roast that most of them richly deserve. I really admire Doug Walker's very animated style that reminds me of "Weird-Al" Yankovic. I have decided to sort of do the opposite this time, as I want … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Speed Racer
Kia Forte’s new ad campaign is quite disturbing
I'm just going to assume that you watched the video here for the Kia Forte 2013, and you can watch another video after the jump for the Kia Forte 2014. Both of them feature a robot girl that I find to be...incredibly creepy. I guess it is a robot. Perhaps it is some sort of cyborg. I mean, you see metal on the shoulders and in other places. I suppose the flesh is there … [Read more...] about Kia Forte’s new ad campaign is quite disturbing
Microsoft planning to unveil the next generation of Xbox on May 21st
The one thing that you can count on when it comes to big tech companies is that there is always an announcement before a big announcement. Case in point, Microsoft, who has apparently stated that the next version of the Xbox is coming. This announcement is set for May 21st, at the company's corporate headquarters in Redmond. I don't know what the new features will be, as … [Read more...] about Microsoft planning to unveil the next generation of Xbox on May 21st
Bluetooth Breathalyzer made for the iPhone
I have seen a lot of iPhone accessories of all types, but this is the first time that I have seen a Breathalyzer. The BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer is designed to fit on an iPhone, and a special app can track your Blood Alcohol Level. I believe that most Breathalyzers just tell you how drunk you are, but the application tells you when it is actually safe to get behind the … [Read more...] about Bluetooth Breathalyzer made for the iPhone
PLAiR wirelessly beams video content to the television
If you are like me, you are addicted to video content, but I don't really have it where I want it...on my TV. PLAiR is a micro-computer that allows the user to wirelessly transmit HD video to any HDMI-equipped display or projector. According to my Source, this is platform agnostic, which means it is good to go for Windows or Mac content. My Source also says that it … [Read more...] about PLAiR wirelessly beams video content to the television
Pizza Hut is now available on the X-Box 360
I still remember when I was watching that Sandra Bullock movie The Net and thought it was odd that she was ordering a pizza on the Internet. I'm sure that this tech was available at least a year before that 1995 film, and I was really surprised that Pizza Hut has just created an application made for the Xbox 360. Seriously, we didn't have this tech already? I mean, … [Read more...] about Pizza Hut is now available on the X-Box 360
Go!Scan 3D scanner could really begin a new era of 3D printing
I really think that we are in for an era of 3D printers. I really think that brick-and-mortar stores, as well as online stores, are going to face a decrease in profits after every household has a 3D printer. Think about it. Just imagine an era where you don't need to go to a hardware store to get a screw, but you can print off the part from the Internet. And, if you … [Read more...] about Go!Scan 3D scanner could really begin a new era of 3D printing
FabricSkin keyboard folio for the iPad, from Logitech
I have never been disappointed with a Logitech product, even if they are producing accessories that have been done to death. Their most recent contribution is the FabricSkin keyboard folio. I think we all know that these folios work with tablets. I'm not certain how the one on the Surface works, but usually it teams up via Bluetooth. That is the case here, but the … [Read more...] about FabricSkin keyboard folio for the iPad, from Logitech
Acer’s new laptop is apparently worthy of the Federation of Planets
I can't remember where I heard this, but I was watching some video the other day that said that "we have already seen the future with Star Trek, so now we are just waiting to catch up to it". I will have to admit that our cell-phone culture with early flip-up clamshell phones are similar to the communicator Kirk used to contact the Enterprise. Star Trek fans are probably … [Read more...] about Acer’s new laptop is apparently worthy of the Federation of Planets
The iPad Telephoto lens by Photojojo
I think we all know that the cameras on our tablets just are not that good sometimes, especially if we are trying to focus on something. Generally, it usually takes a somewhat blurry photo and make it even blurrier. Also, is the tablet really made for taking photos? It really is quite big to point and click, but the iPad telephoto lens from Photojojo (not to be confused … [Read more...] about The iPad Telephoto lens by Photojojo
Flip Alarm Clock is your wake-up service
Do you remember that episode of Seinfeld where Elaine has a champion runner friend who misses his biggest races because he can't wake up on time? His problem always has to do with alarm clock trouble. I honestly believe that we have all had alarm clock trouble. I remember a few weeks in my life where I just couldn't get my alarm clock to work, for some odd reason. In … [Read more...] about Flip Alarm Clock is your wake-up service
Amazon puts out 14 Original Series and lets users decide what’s good
I'm sure most of you know that I spend way too much time movies and television. I never really understand who in the world picks out TV shows and why some that are enjoyed by people, like Firefly, get their plugged pulled prematurely. Amazon has recently launched 14 pilot episodes, and there is going to be a "showdown" to see, I don't know, which one will last. It looks … [Read more...] about Amazon puts out 14 Original Series and lets users decide what’s good
Samsung working on mind-control tablet technology
Just to let you know, what you are seeing here is not available now. However, you didn't need me to tell you that. After all, if Samsung could develop some tech where a tablet that can interact with your brain, don't you think your next Tab would have it? Well, I suppose that if you want to wear a skull cap filled with wires, you could use this. However, you are going … [Read more...] about Samsung working on mind-control tablet technology
Speculative Fiction Friday: Pi
One of the reasons why I like watching speculative fiction films is that they are often not afraid to be different. I wouldn't say that Pi is speculative fiction, but it is certainly one of the most unique films that I have seen. The film is by Darren Aronofsky, who has made a lot interesting films over the years. I have not seen Requiem for a Dream, which I believe is a … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Pi
