Google Reader and Google Keep are two different services, but when placed side by side they offer a cautionary tale for anyone using the web. There has been a good deal of chat among the Gear Diary team on our backchannel, and Judie, Mike, Carly and I have been further discussing the demise of Reader [...]

Google Keep Review – Neat Freaks Need Not Apply
Yesterday Google launched a new service called Google Keep. After playing around with it a bit last night, I have a much better idea of what it can and can’t do, and what it really is. Will it be good enough to replace Evernote? Is it even close? In a word, no. Google Keep [...]
Google Keep Launches – Google’s Evernote and OneNote Answer
I was just starting to listen to This Week in Google live after work, when right before the show they shouted Google just launched Google Keep! I’ve already got it installed on my phones and my tablet. What IS Google Keep? It’s very similar to services like Evernote or OneNote. It’s designed to take notes, make checklists, and more. [...]
Neil Gaiman’s NeverWhere Radio Drama and Mobile Listening
Cast of BBC4 radio play of Neil Gaiman’s “NeverWhere” (Image courtesy of RadioTimes) I quite literally just took my headphones off after listening to a broadcast–and believe me, the word “broad” is appropriate here–of the first episode of a radio play of Neil Gaiman’s (absolutely wonderful–buy it immediately) book “Neverwhere”. I jumped right on WordPress [...]
Super Stickman Golf 2 for iOS and Android Review – Download it Now and Thank Me Later
Did you download it yet? What are you waiting for? Fine, I’ll tell you a little bit about the game, first. Super Stickman Golf 2 for iOS is the highly anticipated sequel to the extremely popular, award-winning title of the same name from developers Noodlecake Studios. The series, on the surface, plays like a golf [...]
Fate of the Pharaoh for Android Review
Over the past few years working with G5 games as they have grown into one of the more successful casual games publishers on smartphones, I have seen a fairly standard formula: they publish for iOS first, then Android and finally for the Mac (and occasionally PC). But with Fate of the Pharaoh we get a [...]
Withings Smart Devices Now Support Android
Android support for Withings’ Smart Baby Monitor and the Wireless Scale announced at MWC It used to be that the interconnectivity of gadgets in your house was expected Real Soon Now, but it didn’t seem like it would ever arrive. When I went to see the move “The Sixth Day”, for example, the refrigerator that [...]
WeVideo Android Video Editing App Now Available
Android video editing app WeVideo Despite being in high tech for my entire career (aside from a 3-month stint as a security guard back before I got my first tech job–don’t even ask), one of the things that has continued to truly amaze me about the advancements in electronics in the last 5-10 years is [...]
Magellan Debuts SmartGPS Apps at Mobile World Congress
Magellan SmartGPS GPS apps for iOS and Android devices There are a lot of good GPS and mapping apps available out there nowadays. Given the pretty lame debut of Apple’s new non-Google mapping app, it would behoove you to educate yourself on the alternatives and, if you decide the Apple app isn’t for you, go [...]
GolfSense Wearable Mobile Tech Golf Glove Device
One of my favorite scenes from the Kevin Costner/Rene Russo movie “Tin Cup”–not a particularly good movie, I admit, but it has its moments–is when Tin Cup has gotten himself a bad case of the shanks, and is desperately using every golf gadget known to man in an attempt to cure himself of it. And [...]
MoviePass Android App Available
Movie fans get their own golden reward as the Academy Awards (a.k.a. Oscars) quickly approach. A special service called MoviePass has expanded to Android mobile device users. This theatrical movie subscription service, which began as an iOS app, offers unlimited tickets at nationwide movie theaters (2D shows only) beginning at $30 a month. The MoviePass [...]
The Sonos PLAYBAR Soundbar Brings Big Sound to Your Home Theater
As expected, Sonos has just introduced their new Playbar Soundbar and, yes, as a huge Sonos fan I ordered one. You might recall that I first ordered my Sonos system a mere hours after receiving a loaner review sample. I hooked up the Sonos system, downloaded the iOS app, turned it on and was blown [...]
Super Stickman Golf 2 – Gear Diary’s Sneak Preview
What does Super Stickman Golf 2 and The Godfather: Part II have in common? If you guessed that they’re both sequels, well yes, that’s true, but there’s something even better! They are both sequels that are greater than their predecessors. Is it a little too early to call, since SSG2 is only in beta testing? [...]
Get Ready for the Next Chapter with the Star Trek Into Darkness App for iOS or Android
Are you excited for the Star Trek: Into Darkness film opening on May 17th of this year?
