iPad Goodness

Now that the iPad is official, there’s some serious debate going on about if this is the right name (sounds like a feminine product) or product people want (no Flash support, built in camera, etc…).

Rinse, Soak, Snap

Waterproof, shockproof and dustproof. Throw in a 12 megapixel sensor and the ability to record HD videos and it’s no wonder the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 is winning praise like “best watertight point and shoot we’ve used” from Wired magazine. A quick check on Cnet’s site and I see that Wired is not alone with their [...]

One Remote To Rule Them All

If you’re tired of the remote shuffle, whereby you grab one remote after the next to control your home electronics, you might want to step up to the Logitech Harmony One Universal remote control.

Get Touchy With Your Computer

After using the iPhone for a while, I start to wonder why all interfaces don’t behave in the same way– especially because I work on my Mac workstation. Being able to gesture with your finger tips to zoom in or scroll an image seems like the only way to work. It seems as if the [...]
