When I was working on my review of the HP mini 1000 netbook, I remember testing the webcam and thinking how dark and grainy the picture was. Rob and I talked about it and after some research, he found some forums where people found a solution. That solution involved doing a bit of surgery though.

It’s hard to imagine that 10 years have passed since I reviewed the Palm V. It was the latest and greatest Palm OS device on the market and was released back in the day when Palm was the king of PDA makers. The Palm V was a real change from Palm’s previous chunky plastic PDAs.

Until now, all of the apps have been free. But now US and UK developers will be able to submit priced apps. These priced apps will start showing

A few minutes ago, Judie asked me what my Gmail account name was so that she could add me to her Google Latitude setup. I figured I’d do the same for her so that we could stalk each other like all best friends do. 😉 So the idea is that you install an app on

I’m always on the looking for new geek / gadget related TV shows. There have been several over the years that have come and gone and I miss them all. Remember Screensavers on TechTV with Leo Laport? Or I Want That on HGTV? I can even vaguely remember a CNet show that would have cool

Some of you may have noticed the two buttons that I recently added to the bottom of each review here on The Gadgeteer. Instead of assuming that you all know what they can be used for, I thought I would be proactive and explain them.

I received an email the other day asking me to check out a video site called VideoJug. They claim to be the world’s most popular, free to use, video learning site, with over 43,000 bite-sized, professionally produced films on a wide range of topics – including gadgets. They have some fun do-it-yourself type videos that

At least once a year I clean out the shelves and drawers at Gadgeteer head quarters (otherwise known as my basement office). I sack up all the items that I’ve reviewed but haven’t continued to use and bring them to my day job at Cummins. I stack everything up on a table behind my desk
