I reviewed an iPad 2 case from Zero Chroma yesterday, and here’s a companion case for your iPhone. The Teatro-S for iPhone 4/4S case incorporates the rotating theater stand used in the Vario-SC case for the iPad 2. How does it stack up against its big brother?

How do you add a little flash to brushing your teeth? Why, with a Firefly Toothbrush, that’s how! Getting kids to brush for the dentist-recommended two minutes has always been a challenge.

Last month I did a review of the Crimson Frame Case for the iPhone 4. While I thought their aluminum case was too boxy and utilitarian, I loved the iPhone 4 screen protectors that Crimson included with the case. So much so, I wanted to see if their screen protectors for the MacBook Air

An e-reader should be pretty simple to review, one like the Kindle Touch that has only two buttons even more so. Amazon‘s ebook reader has one primary task: displaying the pages of the reader’s books. Sure, there are other features of importance like availability of content, size and weight, and overall usability issues. But in

One of my friends had her email account hijacked recently. The hijackers had obviously got hold of her password somehow and were sending out emails to her address book claiming she was stuck overseas and needed money sent to her. I’d read about this sort of thing but never had it happen to myself or

It seems there is a desk stand for every cell phone, tablet, and gadget on the market today. Some are functional and inexpensive, while others are just good looks and costly.

Over the past few years, I have had no less than three custom monitors created for me. All of which involved a separate trip to the audiologist to have specially-made molds of my ears created for the monitors to be made from. These visits had to be scheduled and involved a commute to have pink
