It seems Angry Birds are everywhere these days. This fad/phenomenon definitely has a bit of staying power. Even I have to admit, that I play the game regularly and have gifted the app to several of my friends. Well, they are now available as vinyl laptop decorations/stickers. While cute and appear to be nicely made,

Remember Lynda Carter in the 1970’s television series The New Adventures of Wonder Woman (1975–79)??? She and Lindsay Wagner, as the Bionic Woman, were every school boy’s dream back in the seventies. Well, like the Bionic Woman, NBC has just announced they will be remaking Wonder Woman (at least the pilot) for this Fall (seems

Over the years, I have tried/reviewed many bluetooth headsets designed to free you from the hassle of having to hold your cellphone to your ear. Since they first came on the market, bluetooth headset technology, capabilities, and reliability have come a very long way. BlackBerry has recently introduced three new bluetooth headsets and a visor

This past summer there was a great deal of talk of Wicked Lasers producing an insanely powerful, 1 watt blue laser called the S3 (Spyder III Pro) Arctic. It was all over the web from Gizmodo to Squidoo. They were discussing, not only how extremely cool/dangerous it is but how LucasFilm sent a cease-and-desist letter

I recently reviewed JaDu Industries’ Skadoosh, a well made and uniquely engineered, portable aluminum iPad Stand. Just|Mobile has gone in the opposite direction from a complexity of design point of view with their new iPad stand, the UpStand. While just as well engineered and made similarly from finely machined aircraft aluminum, the UpStand is a simple

Apple creates many very well designed and highly polished devices…..true tech-candy. This is especially true since Apple has gone all glass and aluminum in their products. The iPad is one of their latest (and most desired) products, already selling millions of tablets world-wide. Whenever possible, I like my accessories to match my Apple product’s tech-polish.

Recently I bought one of Apple’s new 13″ MacBook Airs and resolved myself to use it naked (aka without any protection). Using the MBAir without a case definitely goes against my anal-retentive nature. I have used a case with every MacBook I have ever owned. These cases, while doing a great job of protecting my

I am a hardcore Superman fan. Over my life, I have seen (almost) every show, movie, and cartoon Superman has ever been in; from the original shows from the 1950’s to Smallville. This includes nearly every Justice League show as well. When I saw this Justice League sticker for MacBooks on tuaw.com…. I just had

I love the Holidays….the brisk winter weather (or for us here in the Pacific Northwest, the dumping rain), the hustle and bustle, getting together with family and friends, eating too much, buying gifts for everyone, etc. Often I am consulted to assist those same friends and family members in buying tech-gifts for folks on their

When I first saw that Microsoft was putting in a retail store three doors down from one of my local Apple Stores, I was betting it was going to be a ghost town within the first week/month. I was skeptical Microsoft and its partners had anywhere near the draw Apple does. But this monolithic store

When I first read about the Ultio Pro from Mvix, I was extremely hopeful that it would enable me to stream movies from my network attached storage (NAS), record movies to a hard drive (DVR), and stream NetFlix and Hulu to my TV (plus do a boatload of other things as well) like more and

I reviewed OtterBox’s Commuter and Defender cases for the Storm 2 earlier this year. They are rock-solid cases that provide uncompromised protection for my Blackberry. To this day, I use them regularly, switching between the two (and other cases as well) depending on what I am doing and the level of protection I want to

I have reviewed a handful of bags by booq and several checkpoint friendly laptop bags here at The-Gadgeteer. I have been using the booq Boa Flow M Laptop Backpack ever since I did that review earlier this year. I am surprised just how much I like and use their backpack. When booq sent me their Boa Flow

It has been quite a while since I visited our local mall.

The billboard is

I am not much of a gamer at all….never have been, never will be. But I do appreciate the skill and training it takes to master today’s very complex and detailed video games. Let’s face it, HALO is definitely not Space Invaders. That said, I occasionally watch my 9 year old play Wii or my

I have wanted an impact hammer/driver for a long time now….for years, if not decades. Several of my construction buddies have them and I have marveled at how effective they are at driving screws and bolts into very dense materials. I have used a standard cordless drill on MANY projects, fighting/stripping countless screws in the
