Many of us like to keep our iPhones as sleek as possible.  I personally prefer to use my iPhone 4 naked.  But I also know that it’s just not practical to do so.  I want to keep my iPhone looking as new as possible not only because I enjoy lo...

Barnes and Noble’s nook has been out for some time, but it hasn’t stopped making waves since its debut! After the initial successful release, B&N released a WiFi-only version, which also kicked off a price war against Amazon’s Kindle. The n...

Today’s Gear Deal isn’t one item. It isn’t two items. No, today’s deal is actually today’s DEALS… a 4-day sale on select video games and accessories. One of them… the first ever discounted XBOX 360 Elite Slim...

Original Image courtesy of Google The Nexus One was the first of many dubbed Android Superphones. Even though relatively low sales eventually may have been the demise of the device, it now holds a place in the hearts of Android fanboys and developers...

My iPad is with me pretty much all the time these days. It’s rare for me to carry my MacBook Pro out and about anymore since I can accomplish pretty much everything that I need to on a device that weighs a pound and a half and runs for up to 10...

In my review of Leliana’s Song I noted that the focus was on story and characters and that the combat wasn’t overly challenging. Or even particularly memorable. As though anticipating that very reaction, Bioware has announced that their...

Last month I reviewed the Darkspawn Chronicles DLC, saying that even at “$5 in Microsoft Points … it has questionable value.” I found it “a single-minded module that lasts about an hour, adds a single new item to the main gam...

I rely on my iMac’s “clipboard” a ton.  Between Twitter, the Internet, e-mail etc. it seems I’m constantly copying and pasting links and other information between one client to another.  Often times I copy more than one item...

It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Poynt, the free location based do-all search application that’s been available for BlackBerry and recently for Apple iOS devices.    It’s one of those go-to applications I always add wheneve...

We have nine of iWave’s music products to give away. Among them are headphones, speaker systems and more. And we’ll give away one each day for the next week. (That means two a day a few times so watch Twitter and Facebook too!) Today̵...

A survey just out shows that 73 percent of adults plan to use a computer or Wi-Fi-connected device while traveling this summer. No surprise there. It goes on to note that nearly half of those vacationers plan to access the Internet through their host...

The AViiQ: Portable Laptop Stand is described as “World’s thinnest stylish laptop stand”. And it just might be since it folds down to ¼” for easy storage and portability. The AViiQ offers… An optimal ergonomic angle that red...

Okay, I’ll be honest:  I think this is cool. Vadique has released an iPhone app that turns your iPhone into a lighted mirror.  I don’t need this app; I’m not even sure that it’s even a good idea; but this is just the kind of...

Today’s Gear Deal is all about fun. I love my Wii and am enjoying the many ways the gaming console has gotten better and better since I first got it a year and a half ago. (Can you say Netflix streaming???) This bundle lets you get a complete W...

Voice-recognition on the Mac has gotten far better since MacSpeech Dictate began using Dragon NaturallySpeaking as the engine for the transcription process. Still, MacSpeech lags behind Dragon with regard to both features and transcription accuracy....

In a (not at all) shocking turn of events, Amazon has released two new Kindles! When the Kindle 2 went out of stock earlier in the week, everyone raised an eyebrow. In fact, I was fully intending to lay out some predictions on what we might see in a...

There won’t be any leaving you in suspense during this review. I’m just going to come right out and say. I love the OtterBox Defender for the iPhone 4. I’ve been a diehard Defender user for sometime now. Almost all the firefight...

We are all feeling the financial pinch!  Blue Plate Special is a weekly review of bargain apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Nothing over $.99. It is no secret that I am a sports nut.  It is how I make a living and sports have been a daily part o...

I think by now I’ve made it known that I am frothingly anti-piracy, so the new ruling in the UK that bans the R4 Revolution and similar devices thrills me. The high court set a new precedent by adjusting that it is illegal for the R4 card to ci...

Just check out that image, called ‘Solargraph’. It is from the UK, taken of Bristol’s Clifton Suspension Bridge. The lines are the travel of the sun over time, showing the motion of the earth relative to the sun, as well as periods whe...

Vulkano is positioning itself as “the next-generation live TV place shifting, time shifting and streaming device for smartphones and other devices”. The system makes it possible to take the home TV experience anywhere and by anywhere they...

… and also the most hated by golfers! I remember when it came out my Uncle who was an avid golfer saw it right away, as did my cousin who was visiting with family from Georgia. Two very different opinions, one from a middle-aged golfer who th...

When I was away on vacation LogicBUY had a great deal on a large LCD monitor. The deal was so good that I immediately ordered one. It was waiting for me when I got home and I am now using it as an extension of my iMac. I love it! Well today’s G...

Last Friday night my family went to a nice downtown Corning pub, and noticed printed signs all around stating that a new policy would permit only one free soda refill, after which guests would have to pay for another full-priced drink. I really didn&...

I fly Southwest most of the time these days, and one of the things I use a lot when I travel is Southwest’s iPhone app, which can give me flight times, delay notices, allow me to book tickets, and so on. Well, now American has seen Southwest an...

Just today I was chatting with a friend at work about how useless card-keys are at work sites when folks just leave purses, wallets, laptops, and other valuables sitting out.  At a previous company an industrious group of thieves once “tailgat...

Every year I take one of my daughters on a weekend trip to NYC.  This past weekend on our annual excursion we stumbled across ECOWRIST at a street fair in the Soho section of Manhattan.  ECOWRIST was founded by husband and wife team David Gandy and...

When you look at the classic genre-defining franchises in gaming, most have fallen by the wayside. The ‘Gold Box’ RPG’s don’t even evoke a reaction from most modern gamers; Fallout has been transformed into a story-lite conso...

Solar power has been a promise since I was my son’s age.  In the future. we were all supposed to have roofs covered in solar cells and not having to use ugly power lines to power our lives.  We were barely able to get to the point of powering...
