VillageTronics ViBook DisplayLink USB Video Card Review

Review ViBook 001

I am a master of multiple monitors. At my last job, I wrangled my way into having a total of four LCDs connected to my workstation, which was pretty fantastic for multitasking. The downside was that such a configuration requires more than one video card (usually). Your run-of-the-mill video card has either one or two […]

OtterBox Storm 2 Commuter and Defender Case Reviews

Work has recently replaced my at&t BlackBerry Bold with a Verizon BlackBerry Storm 2. Even before receiving my new device, I began researching which screen protector and cases I wanted to protect my fancy new tech-toy.

Fred 500 XL Giant Earbud Speakers Review

Fred 500Xspeakers review1

When it comes to gadgets, I think product design is a key area to think about.  Some people might argue that build quality is more important and ultimately, I may tend to agree to an extent.   However, when a gadget has an eye-catching design that really turns heads, then it certainly has to be worth a second look!
