Laaaaaadies, I know you think you don’t care about cars, but Honda is forcing the subject by making one just for you! Yes, ma’am, you girls (and the most stereotypically effeminate gay boys and poor unfortunate dudes who get handed the keys by Hurtz) finally get the car of your dreams. Honda has made the […]
Many years ago, I was challenged by a coworker to come up with a way to open a garage door with a cellular phone. My proposed solution involved a computer, an internet connection and an X10 home automation device. A simple phone app could send a signal to the computer’s IP that would tell the […]
I was at Pepcom recently and as I walked through the conference looking at all the different kinds of tech being presented there, it occurred to me that while there is a lot of tech for tech’s sake and tech geared towards specific jobs, there was little tech that targets what I do most of […]
Canon’s iconic EOS 7D offers a lot that other DSLRs from Canon don’t, such as a weatherproof body, some of the fastest autofocus in the industry, and full HD monitoring while recording video to name a few. One thing other cameras from Canon have that the 7D doesn’t is support for Magic Lantern. But all that […]
In my last article about how technology is bringing bicycling into the 21st century, I stated that much of that forward push is from accessories. A big part of smart phone accessories is cases to protect your smart phone from everyday bumps and drops, but also from the elements and from hardcore, physical activities. I spent this […]

Back in 2004, CEO Jeff Lawrence developed the idea for PlayOn, a service that allows internet video to be viewed in an optimized way by streaming it to devices that allow you to watch it where you like, such as using a networked Wii […]
Roku users got a big surprise late last week when the company provided an unexpected update to its official iOS and Android applications. Previously, the free apps were mainly a secondary remote control for the streaming media player. With this update, announced on the official Roku blog, Roku has added the ability to stream music […]
Panasonic’s GH2 got quite a popularity boost recently after the Zacuto Shootout of 2012. Despite being a consumer-grade alternative to a DSLR, the shootout showed the world that video from the little camera can actually compete and sometimes even win against bigger and more expensive professional-grade video cameras. While this hasn’t really been a secret to […]
Last year, Toshiba introduced the Excite line at IFA. This year, however, I’m not finding much chatter. The company introduced a personal storage device called the STOR.E CLOUD that looks kind-of sort-of interesting. Is the general consumer really building personal clouds though? This is a device that appeals to me, but I don’t see a […]
I’ll get to the Galaxy Note II in a minute, I promise. However, I have to focus on what is, for me, the biggest story about Samsung at IFA: Samsung announced a Windows Phone 8 device one week before Microsoft was expected to. Wow, the folks at Nokia have to be more than a little […]
