Photo courtesy of Cetoncorp.com If you’re like most Americans, I’ll bet you watch TV on occasion. Probably more than occasionally. In my household, we watch TV everyday. We have hours upon hours of shows that we record on the DVR and we don’t want to be tethered to just one TV in the house. If [...]

Accell DisplayPort/Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D Dual-Link Adapter Review
The older I get the more changes happen to laptops over the years. It seems like the 15 pin VGA port has been around forever. That’s why I was surprised that my current laptop does not have a standard VGA port. This makes it difficult for this laptop to work with many projectors in my workplace. That’s [...]
Looking for Last-Minute Cyber Monday Deals?
If you’ve been following our news postings the last few days, you’ll know that we have plenty of Black Friday deals that we’re telling you about. We like to keep you informed of deals. A lot of these deals come with long press releases, though, which sometimes seems to me to be a bit of [...]
Livescribe Sky Smartpen Review: One New Feature Makes a World of Difference
It has been a while since I have written about my Livescribe smartpen, but that doesn’t mean I rely on it any less.(Here’s one of the many posts on the subject.) In fact, my experience has actually the opposite. My Livescribe smartpen is so much a part of my workflow that I simply take it [...]
Epson Expression Premium XP-800 Small-in-One Printer Review
I haven’t been all too interested in printers for the last year and a half or so. The reason for this is quite simple — I have been making a concerted effort to be as “paperless” as possible. Thanks to my iPhone, iPad and the various apps that are now available for them, there is [...]
ThinkTank Photo Street Walker HardDrive Backpack Review
photos by Kevin Stanford We have already looked at a number of offerings from Think Tank Photo. We reviewed the ThinkTank Retrospective 7 Camera Bag. (Read the review.) We also reviewed the ThinkTank Photo StreetWalker Camera Backpack that has now taken up residence with Judie. (Read the review.) And finally we reviewed the Think Tank [...]

Now the company is rolling out a line of backpacks that take the same approach to extreme-protection of all your devices.

Skooba Design Offers New Products for Camera, Laptops and Cables; Pre-Order Now, Reviews Are Coming Soon!
Drawing on the same design cues we’ve seen in recent products, Skooba Design has just announced three new upcoming ways to carry, protect and organize your gear. It will, of course, come as no small surprise that we are looking forward to getting our hands on each. So what HAS Skooba rolled out? There’s the [...]
Tiki USB Noise Cancellation Desktop Microphone Review
I am incredibly lucky in one way, which is that I am able to work at home. Because my group is “distributed”, i.e. spread out all over the country (the world, actually; we have group members in Bangalore), almost everyone works at home rather than “in the office”. (Which is pretty appropriate given that we’re [...]
ioSafe Turns to Indiegogo to Help Fund the “Disaster-Proof Private Cloud”
We’ve long been fans of ioSafe. We’ve spent time with them as they burnt, crushed and soaked hard drives. We’ve seen the drives abused with shocking results. We also taken shotgun shots as their drives. Now ioSafe has taken things even further. They’s turned to Indiegogo to help fund their newest endeavor, the ioSafe N2. [...]
Tom Bihn Cache Sleeve for the MacBook Pro Retina Review
If, like Judie and me, you got a MacBook Pro with retina display, then you know it is a lot of computer and can easily serve as your only computer. It is for Judie and me and, save for the 512GB of storage, there is zero compromise involved. And if you have a MBPr you [...]
Satechi 12 Port USB Hub with Power Adapter and 2 Controls Review
When I was using a desktop, I was able to set things up just the way I liked… and leave them that way. I used one of the USB ports on my iMac for an iOS 30-pin cable, one for a printer, one for a high quality microphone and one for a USB hub. That [...]
BodyGuardz Ultimate Protective Clear Skin for MacBook Pro with Retina Display Review
While I was waiting for my MacBook Pro with Retina display to show up, Dan was kind enough to loan me his 13″ MacBook Air. Once it had arrived, I found his Air inside a protective plastic shell … which I promptly removed. I did wonder for a few moments about whether or not I [...]
Tenba Messenger: Small Photo/Laptop Bag Review
If I had to choose one style of bag as my personal favorite it would have to be the traditional messenger. I love the flexibility, the ability to “dress it up” or “dress it down” and I love the ability to carry “just enough” gear. Oh, and I just tend to like the way they [...]
Skooba Design Laptop Weekender V.3 Review (Spoiler- You Want This!)
Hi, my name is Dan and I am the poster child for Over-packers Anonymous. It’s true. I have a packing problem. When I go anywhere I fill whatever bags I am bringing to overflowing and then I add a bit more. And that holds true for my cloths, my electronics and my incidentals. The result? [...]
