Buy one. That’s the review. Just buy this UPS. This device will save your computer’s butt. I know from personal experience. On Monday morning, May 10 about 4 am, another typical Indiana spring storm blew through my small Mayberry-esque town. A dead branch from my neighbor’s 200 year old white oak sheared off and hit …

If you remember, a few months back, I broke the “big tech” story on The Gadgeteer with Mattel’s new offering of Software Engineer Barbie. She had all the nerdly accouterments and stylish outfit to boot. Mattel’s intention (?!) was to “empower” young girls and motivate them towards exciting careers in computer technology. However, I will …
With the advent of computer e Readers, Kindle and Nook, it would seem as though the book in audio form would be obsolete. I’ve never been a big fan of audio books. I like the idea a lot because it makes literature in all forms available to the visually impaired, it’s an interesting way to …
There are backpacks and then there are BACKPACKS. I love backpacks, always have. I’m the ultimate Bag Lady in that I just love all kinds of bags. I’m not “fashionista” in that I carry around a Coach bag with all the Cs all over it or a Louis Vuitton with the tapestry logo. No. Seriously, …
While real estate investments around the country are tanking, take heart that in the technical world, it’s never been a better time to buy. Remember the old days before multi-line telephones?

Ok. Anyone who has read the Gadgeteer knows that I love laptop bags. I have no idea why…some people collect stamps… I collect laptop bags. I have two sizes of computers… my large Dell and my 10.2 inch Acer Aspire One Netbook. I’m a writer so I lug my laptops around with me everywhere and …
I’ve seen fashion designers get their fingers into every kind of pie imaginable: clothes, handbags, shoes, fragrances, even automobiles (Coach, Eddie Bauer). But now, designers are putting their stamp or rather their label on the tech world. Pierre Cardin has partnered with China’s Shenzhen Vogue Industries to brand a touchscreen device. On the outside, the …
With everything that is out there on the market for laptop protection, you almost can’t beat SLAPPA laptop sleeves. I’m a serious laptop bag/laptop sleeve person. It’s not that I can’t get enough protection for my devices, I just dig sleeves and bags. The protection from scratches, bumps, chips, dirt and spilled things doesn’t hurt …
The Averatec N1200 is the latest and (touted as) thinnest netbook out there. It’s thin but it’s not the lightest. At 2.2lbs, it matches the weight of Acer’s Aspire netbook. But it is thin. I measures at less than 1 inch thick and you can get up to six hours of battery life using the …
Wouldn’t It Be Nice? To start with, I’m not a big cell phone fan. In fact, I have a reproduction of a turn of the century candlestick phone…you know.. the kind where you hold the earpiece to your ear but speak into a mouthpiece mounted on a slender structure? It works just fine for me. …

For $40.00, TV TrickleSaver shuts off the flow of power to your gaming …
