Airport Wi-Fi users tend to be well-off, rich folk
Posted on November 17, 2009 | No Comments
It's a good time to be an airport Wi-Fi advertiser. According to a study just released by JiWire, the folks behind a lot of airport Wi-Fi, most people that use airport W-iFi are loaded and spend a good amount of time online while waiting for their flight. This means, of course, that Mr. Money Bags has plenty of time to click on the flashing banner ads that airport Wi-Fi generally sports. But check out these stats, I'm in the wrong game. I should be selling airport Wi-Fi ads.

Case-mod: Stargate Pyramid HTPC
Posted on September 16, 2009 | No Comments
There's an interesting correlation between computer hobbyists and science fiction fans. That's never more obvious then when you see some of the custom case mods that people produce. Case in point, today we have a Stargate Pyramid ship inspired modification. Whomever built this thing obviously spent an enormous amount of time on it, and it really shows.

U.S. Soccer looks to EA Sports to help develop next generation of pros
Posted on August 19, 2009 | No CommentsYou would think that with a population of 300 million the U.S. would be a little better at soccer than it currently is. Not that the US Mens National Team is terrible—its victory against Spain in the Confederations Cup in June was all kinds of great—but we're (yup, Royal We time) not exactly known as a “world power,” mentioned in the same breath with Italy, Germany, Spain, Brazil, and Argentina. In steps... EA? Yup, we just got word that EA Sports, makers of FIFA 10, has teamed up with US Soccer to develop and promote a series of training videos that young players can use to improve their game. Is is enough to to give some future USMT the World Cup one day? US Soccer certainly has high hopes.

Review: Vibram Five Fingers Classic
Posted on August 10, 2009 | No CommentsI swore I’d never wear them. We called them the Five Fingers of Suck a few years ago and I was sure they were crazy. Friends, I’m here to tell you I was wrong. And I’m sorry. Here’s my story: I ran a marathon a few years ago. I got plantar fasciitis and couldn’t run after [...] -
Take a virtual trip on a Russian sub
Posted on August 6, 2009 | No CommentsEnglishRussia has a fantastic photo set showing the inards of a Russian sub. I burned a good amount of time pursuing the set. The sub is a B-413 that once was part of the Soviet Northern Fleet, but is now hosting tourists at the Museum of World Ocean in Kalinigrad. Supposably, the interior is just as it [...] -
Review: BlackBerry Curve 8520 (T-Mobile)
Posted on August 6, 2009 | No Comments
John already gave you his “quick look” on the 8520, but a second look never hurt. Take into account the fact that my main phone is the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and you can see why I’m anxious to give you my thoughts on the latest Curve to hit the streets.
It’s a budget BlackBerry that skimps on aesthetics, but manages to offer a lot of “must have” features that BlackBerry users have become accustomed to from other devices. Compared to the 8900, the 8520 is sans GPS and the 3.2-megapixel AF camera that’s on the 8900 is now a 2-megapixel variant on the baby Curve. Here are a few sample images taken side-by-side with the 8900. Video quality is somewhat similar, but the 8900 does a better job with color than the 8520. Check out the screengrab after the sample photos.

Solar pool cleaner works all day long, won’t come between you and your wife
Posted on July 24, 2009 | No Comments
Apparently this whole "solar power" thing really works. Case in point, this Solar-Breeze apparatus uses solar power to clean your pool all day long and, aside from keeping your pool clean, it cuts down on the amount of time your pool's pump has to be running since it grabs gunk and leaves before they get sink to the bottom and get sucked into the grate.

Review: Viliv X70 UMPC
Posted on July 6, 2009 | No CommentsThe Viliv X70 isn’t the first UMPC, nor is it the most feature-filled. It’s isn’t the most expensive or cheapest. But I’m willing to bet that it’s one of the most important devices in its class. The X70, and it’s little brother the S5, offer a lot of mobile goodness for a relatively low [...] -
Review: Dymo LabelWriter 450 Turbo
Posted on July 2, 2009 | No Comments
Label makers are a dime a dozen nowadays, so why would I bother reviewing one? Because the 450 Turbo from Dymo is fast. How fast? Just watch the video.
Aside from its blazing speeds, the 450 Turbo is easy to use and setup. The bundled software works on both Windows and Mac machines with a clean and intuitive UI. Replacing the label spool is also an cinch and accommodates all sizes for address labels, shipping labels, file folder labels, name badges, etc. Total setup time was less than five minutes. And it’s relatively small.

New iPhone Knockoffs Are Nearly Indistinguishable From Original

Panasonic’s iPod merge: In-flight entertainment for Very Important People
Posted on June 17, 2009 | No CommentsNow, the smart thing to do when faced with the prospect of a long aeroplane flight is to load up on Benadryl (or Ambien, if you have money and a cooperative doctor) right before boarding. That way you sleep for the duration of the flight—no having to worry about crying babies for you! But, for the sake of this here post, let's say you want to, or have to, stay awake for a certain amount of time. You know who's got your back in this instance? Panasonic, of all people, what with its “iPod merge” in-flight thingamabob

Is the Internet destroying families? (Probably not, no.)
Posted on June 16, 2009 | No CommentsHonk if you like spending time with your family! Not too many honks, eh? Maybe that's because you spend all of your time online, on Twitter, on 4Chan, on PerezHilton, on YouTube! There's a new report coming out of USC that says that Internet use has increased, and the amount of time spent with one's family has decreased. Is there a direct correlation? Maybe not, but it's worth exploring for a minute.

Review: DirectFix’s iPhone LCD Repair Kit
Posted on June 7, 2009 | No CommentsBy Brian Bray John Biggs graciously gave his sister, my wife, an unlocked 3G iPhone for Christmas. My son, just over a year at the time, quickly realized this new piece of tech was competition for his Mom’s attention, so he sent it sailing off of our kitchen countertops onto a hard tile floor.
