Clearly, there isn't enough original science fiction to make as not only was V remade, but now The Prisoner. If you have never seen the original version of The Prisoner, then I highly recommend that you watch it. The original show was part of this weird British sci-fi spirit that was popular in the sixties. If you watch shows like The Avengers, then you know what I mean. … [Read more...] about The Prisoner on AMC

Considering all the hype that iPhone and all Droid-related mobiles are getting, we are often forgetting the simplest phone can still be pretty decent. I definitely feel that way about the Motorola i9, also known as the Stature. This is your typical clamshell phone, but what makes it unique is it is just as interesting closed as it is open. Once closed, it can become a … [Read more...] about Motorola Stature i9 Clamshell Phone

For 40 years, Ohio Art has been marketing a well-known product known as Etch A Sketch. This is one toy that has withstood the test of time, even though most computers have a Paint program that is more advanced and far easier to use. After all, having two knobs was just a real pain! One goes left and right, and the other goes up and down. If you wanted curvy lines, then … [Read more...] about Etch a Sketch Freestyle loses the knobs

Sure, most of us use iPods and iPhones, and they do run out of power at terrible times, don't they? Griffin has a solution to this dilemma with two products, the Power Duo Reserve and the iTrip Auto. The Power Duo Reserve is just a back-up battery that can connect to an outlet of a car's dash lighter. Once you charge it up, you can connect it to your iPod and iPhone … [Read more...] about Hands on with two Griffin Technology products for the iPod/iPhone

This product is probably best used in the summer, but I will have to admit that I have never really seen anything like it before. The Aquapod has the amazing ability to launch a 2-liter bottle about 100 feet in the air. All you need to do is fill it up about one-third full, put it on the orange stand, pump the stand full of air, and launch! Nothing like a product … [Read more...] about Aquapod Bottle Launcher

Yes, there are a lot of MP3 players out there, and you don't have to buy the ones with an "i" in front of them. Take the Sandisk Sansa Clip Plus, for example. I had a chance to try out this tiny MP3 Player with a SD card slot, FM tuner, and voice recorder, and it is pretty decent. Check out my full review here. … [Read more...] about The Sansa Clip Plus MP3 Player from Sandisk

I don't know if you have heard of Project Natal, but it debuted at the big E3 gaming convention at LA last year. It is a something that could easily kick the Wii's Motion-controlling butt out the door. There is a video of it after the jump, but it essentially is a motion sensor that can make the entire body one big controller. It also uses vocal recognition and scanning for … [Read more...] about Project Natal not due to next year, but already priced at $80

I like air hockey as much as the next guy, but I just don't have the space in my place for one of those gargantuan air hockey tables. I suppose that all the space is necessary for all the air to rush up and reduce the coefficient of friction, but all that really needs to slide is the puck. This Portable Air Hockey kit from urban outfitters is just the thing I am looking … [Read more...] about Portable Air Hockey

I've recently had the chance to try out three phones from Motorola, and the Clutch, or i465, is the first. This messaging phone has a full QWERTY keyboard and some other features, but it by no means, a smartphone. It isn't a dumb phone, either. Check out my full review here. … [Read more...] about My Review of the Motorola Clutch i465

I'm sure most of you know that I get most of my news from other sources. Some I look for, and some come to me. Yesterday, I received an email that informed me that the Vanguard news show was doing a news special called "Porn 2.0". I'm not certain how I got on this person's email recommendation list, but I decided to watch the news special. This would probably the first time … [Read more...] about Vanguard news show looks at the Porn Industry with a special report

Remember how Kip had the bumpers on when he was bowling in Napoleon Dynamite? If he had this remote controlled bowling ball from 900 Global, then he wouldn't have needed them. Yes, I'm certain that we all have wanted a remote control bowling ball, but not because we wanted to cheat. No, this is for the good of science. I'm actually surprised that someone could create a … [Read more...] about Remote Controlled Bowling Ball

The show V finally got around to starting very late in the fall season, but it is worth the wait. I'm sure this shows my age, but I actually remember watching the original mini-series back in 1983. I was in sixth grade at the time, and back then, no one had ever attempted a science-fiction mini-series like it. The premise was an alien invasion, which has been done to … [Read more...] about My Review of the new V Series on ABC

I had a chance to try out two of Belkin's products this weekend, the CushDesk and the Universal Media Reader. The Cushdesk is essentially a laptop rest for your lap, and it is about as technical as a crowbar. It says on the package Ease, Comfort, and Cool, and as Stan Lee would say: "'Nuff Said". As for the Universal Media Reader, I had a little bit of a harder time … [Read more...] about Belkin Universal Media Reader and CushDesk

I've been reviewing a lot of Sharper Image products of late, and several of them have been designed for the iPod or MP3 Player. This one is designed to be used in the bathroom. Actually, it comes in two parts. The dock for the MP3 player stays in one room and transmits to the mirror speaker in another room. The mirror is waterproof, so it keeps the user's MP3 Player safe. I … [Read more...] about Review of Sharper Image’s MP3 Wireless Speaker Fog Free Shower Mirror

Take a gander at this home projector. It is a little different than most projectors that you see, because it isn't horrendously expensive. Granted, it is only set up to connect with a DVD player or video game system with it, but it is quite easy to use. It even has a nice remote control for volume, contrast, and color. Supposedly, it is designed to work from six feet … [Read more...] about The Sharper Image Entertainment Projector could be a low-budget home theater alternative
