After saying I would eventually get one, for more years than I care to count, I pulled the trigger tonight and bought my first Mac: the 15″ MacBook Pro. Isn’t it lovely? This is the newly announced version with the Multi-Touch trackpad, an Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor (256MB of video memory), and the [...]

Beware of Dog Walkers
One of my best friends just sent this to me, and I about fell over when I watched. The item in the video starts off looking like a big fat flashlight…and then, as the demonstrator says, this MAGPUL Industries FMG9 concept idea (that they say they have no intention of producing) is very “transformer-ish”, and [...]
What’s the Big Draw for 3G?
I’ve been having this conversation with Chris Gavula on and off for about six months now: what is the huge draw for 3G cellular speeds here in The States? With 3G coverage so sparse here, and all of the cell carriers and device manufacturers and OEM’s barking about how this device or that device does [...]
DYMO DiscPainter Review
CD Printing at home has been around for several years now, negating the need for sticky labels that make the disc so thick that it won’t fit in a laptop drive properly. Dymo, famous for their many label-making solutions, have entered the market with the DiscPainter, a stand-alone CD and DVD label printer that prints [...]
GearChat: Discussing Sprint’s Drastic Decline
Judie: I have alluded in the past to the fact that Gear Diary Team emails can be quite entertaining as well as enlightening. Sometimes we talk about meaningless subjects – like the press release that came through today for NBA Jersey air fresheners. Other times, we talk about things that we aren’t ready to put [...]
VIA Artigo Review
We’ve all seen the mini PCs like Lenovo’s Thinkcenter Desktops and Dell’s small desktops. We’ve also seen other PCs about the size of a external CD rom. Now, we have one that’s about half that size. VIA had brought out the Artigo Builders Kit. The motherboard on the Artigo is about the size of a [...]
My Car PC
When I bought my new car in September 2007 I knew I would be keeping it for a few years, so I decided that I was going to take the plunge, and build a Car PC like those that I had read about on the MP3Car.com forums. The computer would replace the standard audio system, [...]
Review: The Toshiba Qosmio — Better, Stronger, Faster Than Anything You Have Seen Before
[Note: This is the second part of my look at the Toshiba Qosmio. For my unboxing and initial impressions, take a look at Part 1] When I first started looking at the Qosmio laptop, I thought I was going to have a panic attack. There were just so many different features here. How was I [...]
The Targus 17″ Trademark II Overnight Roller Review
When Sarah and I traveled to Amsterdam, I was trying to travel with the lightest gear possible, so I brought along my HP TX1327 which easily fit into a sleeve inside my carry on. But when I went to CES, I wanted to bring the laptop I most enjoy writing on – the Toshiba X205. [...]
The USB Fever iPhone Aluminum Case Review
Perhaps leather cases just aren’t your style – maybe because you want added drop protection without adding too much bulk, or maybe because you just happen to enjoy hard-edged industrial design. Well for whatever reason, when you want tougher than leather and clear cases aren’t going to cut it, the best option is a metal [...]
The iPhone Clear Case SMACKDOWN!
Anyone who watched Chuck last season couldn’t help but see their weekly flashes of Sarah’s iPhone in its clear case, and when I got my iPhone, clear cases had been so firmly (yet subliminally) implanted in my brain that it seemed only natural to want to give one a try. Granted, I have never been [...]
AT&T Palm Centro Review
Introduction Last fall, the Palm Centro was launched upon the U.S. on the Sprint network. Judie did a review of it and covered everything from the unboxing to her impressions of the device. Rather than repeat covering the basics of this device, I’m going to recommend that you take a look at her review here [...]
Nokia N95 8GB: Everything the N95 Should Have Been
I really liked the original N95, but a few things left me with a sour taste in my mouth. For the price, the build quality was absolutely appalling, the battery life was pathetic and it constantly ran out of memory. I reviewed the N95 just under 6mths ago, and in that time they have released [...]
A Perfect Match: The Aliph Jawbone Review
I admit I love wearing Bluetooth headsets for phone conversations (in the privacy of my car). However to wear them publicly, you have to get past the cyborg ribbing and the crazy look that people give you from looking at you like you’re talking crazy. Truth be told, most Bluetooth headsets are not worth the [...]
The Smartphone Experts Screen Protector for Apple iPhone Review
When I first got my iPhone, Vincent said he was going to hook me up with a bunch of cool accessories from the MY iTablet store. I told him no problem, as long as he didn’t mind me writing reviews about the items he sent. I figured he’d send an iPhone case or two, but [...]
