    Don’t want to waste $37 to see Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen at the movie theater? Most critics wouldn’t blame you although a lot of fans are enjoying the summer flick. But anyway, watch the video above and save yourself some cash. It tells the same story and has a proportionate amount of explosions.

    iPhone app review: Flick Fishing

    Posted on June 30, 2009 | 1 Comment
    Flick FishingLet's face it: there are a lot of crappy games available for the iPhone. Even 99 cents -- as cheap as that is -- is more than I'm willing to pay for most games, since I'm unlikely to get even a dollar's worth of enjoyment from them. Not so with Freeverse's Flick Fishing. This 99 cent game offers a lot for that very small price tag. In addition to great graphics, excellent sounds, and decent gameplay, you can purchase expansion content in-game. And there are a variety of clever multiplayer aspects built in, too.

    Video Review: Hillcrest Labs Loop Pointer

    Sure you've seen wireless 3D mice but have you seen one shaped like a loop? No, you haven't. That's why there's the Hillcrest Labs Loop Pointer, a loop-shaped remote control that costs $99 and promises compatibility with Macs, PCs, and the PS3. It's obviously great for presenters but they're also billing this as a media center controller. It was fairly accurate in our limited testing and would work great as a 10-foot interface controller - you just point it at the screen and it divines its current position without complaint. It's a bit inaccurate out of the box - it was always pointing a little to the right - but you can learn to work through that issue. An interesting concept and interesting execution - but $99?

    App Turns iPhone into Star Trek Communicator

    Posted on June 11, 2009 | No Comments
    The Star Trek communicator was arguably the original cellphone, and clearly the model for Motorola’s Startac (even the name was a thinly disguised homage). The iPhone, in turn, is obviously the closest thing us 21st century humans have to the technology of the future. It fits, then, that there should be an application which turns [...]
