Kensington Computer Products Group is one of the old-timers in the computerperipheral business having launched their first product (Apple II System Saver) back in 1981.

When Julie and I recently reviewed the newest, cheapest Amazon Kindle e-Reader, I mentioned that I had ordered the lighted cover for it. The Kindle readers use eInk screens, which don’t have any backlighting. A lot of people say the more paper-like nature of eInk screens is easier on the eyes, but apparently their eyes

I’m sure I wasn’t the only person who was disappointed a month ago when Apple failed to announce the iPhone 5 after many months of rumors and speculation. Instead, we were offered the iPhone 4S – an evolutionary instead of revolutionary update to the one year old iPhone 4. Even though I wasn’t eligible for an upgrade,

“The pen is mightier than the finger” -Ian 2011 (Apologies to Edward Bulwer-Lytton) Let me start this article by saying that if you’re looking for a technical review of the new Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet then this is not the article for you.

Being the case hound that I am, I’ve scoured the web and found zillions of cases, but I’d never heard of Trident Case. My first thought was that, although the basic design appears similar to many other cases out there, their cases have a subtly cool style and some interestingly executed features. I asked my

Recently, photography has been picking up popularity in both the amateur and professional sectors. As an amateur photographer, I always love to carry my Sony NEX-5 DSLR around with me when I go out exploring NYC or traveling.

A few days ago I was given the opportunity to review a 2011 KIA Optima SX Turbo. This is undoubtedly the biggest and most expensive “gadget” that I’ve ever been offered to review and you all know that I didn’t even have to think about it for more than a second before agreeing to a

I for one vastly prefer listening to speakers than headphones and I am always on the search for both the perfect personal portable speaker for general use, and amplified travel speakers to use in class. It would be great to get both in one package! The Muse Mini Portable Bluetooth Speaker is certainly small at

I love my iPad 2 and I use it for everything – surfing, reading, email, apps, you name it. The one thing I don’t like to do with the iPad 2 is enter large amounts of text. I’m a true touch-typist, and the virtual keyboard turns me into a slow, inaccurate, two-finger typist. I have

The iTwin, “two ends of a cable, no cable”. The idea for iTwin came about with the belief that remote access to a second computer was found to often be too complicated for most users. USB drives, on the other hand, are pretty simple to use for almost all users. They do have the pitfalls of not enough storage to share an

I truly dislike cable clutter in all facets of my life…..work, office, garage, etc. I collect and reuse packing ties, rubber bands, micro-bungie cords and the like, continually doing my best to lessen the mess.
