Inateck Adapter 02

My overflowing drawer of semi-obsolete computer parts and cables contains a number of hard drives from old computers.

TYLT VÜ Wireless Charging Car Mount review

tylt vu box2

I truly believe charging your devices without having to plug them in is a great feature and the way of the future, that all cellphone/smart device manufactures should embrace.

allure energy

When I upgraded my old fashioned “dumb” thermostat to a programmable / smartphone controllable thermostat a few years ago, it was a huge leap in convenience because I was able to program it to automatically turn the furnace down while I was at work during the day.

Brazen Plus Variable Temperature Pulse Brew System coffeemaker review

brazen plus coffeemaker 13

It seems that everybody I know has a single-cup coffeemaker these days.  Some have espresso machines, some have coffee machines, but everybody seems to have gone the single cup route.  That’s great when you only drink a cup or two a day, but it’s not so great when you have guests over.  You’ll be standing

When we introduced you to the STM Flip for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, we mentioned that it was like a Smart Case for your iPhone.  Of course, it can’t sleep/wake your iPhone, because they don’t have those functions, but it will provide extra protection for your phone’s screen while it’s in your pocket
