Although Dan had previously reviewed the ōlloclip (read it here) when I met the folks from ōlloclip at the LA Times Travel Show, they were kind enough to give me an ōlloclip for iPhone 4/4S to test out for myself. They also showed me a new case they are developing to go with the [...]

Brincatti Easy Fill Travel Bottles Review
While visiting the LA Times Travel Show over the weekend, I didn’t expect to run into too many tech or gadget related items, but to my surprise, there were several gadget travel related booths. While my wife was signing up for every time-share contest in the place, I got a chance to visit with a [...]
Chromebook Pixel – A Bad Idea?
Chromebooks have been a bit of a mixed bag for many people. Some users love the idea of a lightweight, browser-focused operating system, and others feel like a computer that just runs browser apps is a waste of money. When Chromebooks occupied the $199-$300 space, they fit a niche as a lightweight “secondary machine”. Yesterday [...]
Best Buy to Keep Price Matching Policy Permanently
Over the holiday shopping season, Best Buy had announced that they would price match not only to local brick and mortar stores, but also to online retailers including Amazon, NewEgg, TigerDirect and Buy.com (now Rakuten.) However they have now announced that they will retain this price matching policy permanently in an attempt to stop [...]
Windows 8 Upgrade Odyssey – When the Poop Hits the Fan!
I have to give you a disclaimer right up front: So far, BOTH computers I have that run Windows 8 have required a complete re-installation of Windows 8. I do not find the OS to be inherently stable, and if you are buying a new computer or tablet that runs Windows 8, I would encourage [...]
2013, A Windows “Upgrade” Odyssey – Part One Preparation & Installation
When Windows 8 was first coming out, I knew I wouldn’t like the Metro IU very much on a desktop computer and so I never even considered “upgrading” my desktop. A surprising set of circumstances brought me a Windows 8 tablet, and that was my first experience hands-on with the new OS. I can say [...]
Windows 8 Pro $40 Upgrade Sale Ends 1/31/13
Microsoft’s sale of Windows 8 Pro for only $40 ends on Thursday. If you haven’t taken advantage of the sale, time is quickly running out! If you’ve purchased a Windows 8 (Sadly, not Windows RT) tablet, ultrabook or other computer and you attempt to upgrade directly through the “Add Features To Windows” function, you do not get [...]
Cyberlink Ultra FAIL!
I’ve been working to recover from a major hard drive crash. Fortunately, I knew it was coming…those telltale crashes from nowhere and other glitchy warnings. I have what I thought was a pretty safe backup set up, and so I haven’t “lost” anything exactly. I got my backup drive up and running, but decided that [...]
8Gadget Pack Review – Bring Back Sidebar Gadgets to Windows 8
I know not everyone is enamored of the Windows Sidebar and Gadgets, but I use them all the time, on every computer I own. I like the CPU monitoring as well as Hard Disk monitoring, so that I can easily see at a glance if my computer is doing something in the background, or if [...]
Dropbox “Official” app vs. Box File Provider app on Windows 8 (Modern UI)
A couple of days ago, Dropbox added their app to the Windows Store for use in the Modern UI of Windows 8. Before this app became available, I had been using Box File Provider to access my Dropbox files via the Modern UI. If you are using an RT version of Windows, a Modern [...]
Start8 by Stardock for Windows 8 Review
To date, my biggest pet peeve with Windows 8 is the lack of the Start Menu. Having used Windows since the early 90′s, the Start Menu is always the default way to locate files, programs, menus and everything else. It is the base from which everything else is accomplished. Redmond’s desire to encourage users to [...]
Why I love my Samsung ATIV 500T enough to dump the iPad…
When the iPad first came out, I was as stunned and impressed as anyone, and anxious to have one of my own. My wife is largely supportive of my gadget addictions, but regarding the iPad, didn’t understand where it would “fit in” as a necessity when I already had an iPhone, laptop and desktop computer. [...]
Best Buy Tech Service Gone Awry; a GM’s Customer Service Saves the Day
I came home a few weeks ago to find my almost four year old Gateway desktop rig powered completely off. I tried turning it back on, only to find out that it had decided that it didn’t want to at all. That could only mean the power supply, since it had been on and working [...]
