If you are a frequent traveler throughout the year, you’ve probably encountered a number of unpleasant environments where rooms or areas are so dry you might feel like your skin and sinuses decided to vacation in the Mojave Desert. Desiccation might be in order if you are a piece of jerky, but our bodies [...]
Startech Flash Drive Duplicator and Eraser
As we move to a virtually paperless society, sharing digital files becomes an issue. While there are many avenues to exchange files in a large setting, many businesses do not prefer to email or share the files over servers for fear of being stolen or damaged. Giving the files on a flash drive insures control [...]
Targus Touch Pen for Windows 8 Review
Let’s face it, most of us who have become adept at using smartphones and tablets have become quite accustomed to using our fingers as the primary input devices. Microsoft took note of this and enveloped Windows 8 in something of a hybrid interface to permit this on touch-capable devices. Right now I’m running Windows 8 [...]
3-in-1 charger-Battery Pack for iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3
The 3-in-1 charger-battery pack for iPhone 5, Galaxy S3, and other USB gadgets I know it may seem a bit redundant sometimes, but I do like bringing you folks news of power gear. Battery pack-case combos, external power bricks, multi-jack power adapters . . . I do talk about them frequently. But that’s because access [...]
Custom Indoor (Static) Bike Mount for Apple iPad Mini May Make It to the Streets
Now yes, the item in the above picture is, explicitly, for a “stationary” bike (or other piece of exercise equipment one presumes), but you know that some psycho is going to take it and try it out on their regular bike. ”After all,” he would think (and you know it’s going to be a “he”), [...]
USBFever’s Wooden Made Handcrafted Camera Case for iPhone 5 Released
I read somewhere in a science fiction book back when I was a kid (I think it might have been Arthur C. Clarke, or maybe Isaac Asimov) that when technology reaches a certain level of maturity, everything becomes refinements and ornamentation rather innovation. Consider the car, for example; its basic design (I.C. engine, round wheel [...]
Kanex DoubleUp Dual USB Charger Review
Two years ago, I left for CES carrying my iPhone and a Samsung Galaxy Tab. I thought I was packing efficiently because instead of bringing each device’s USB wall charger, I brought a single wall charger that had dual USB ports. So of course it was on that trip, when I needed my gear the [...]
USBFever Releases the JOGPOCKET for iPhone / iPod touch / Galaxy S3 / Smartphones
For a brief time, in a desperate effort to get my weight down (and against my Doctor’s advice), I tried doing the old C25K, the “couch to 5K” running program. I did okay for a while until I was crippled by bad running shoes, horrific shin splints, and my general dislike of running for running’s [...]
ADATA Reveals Tiny, Gem-Like USB Flash Drive
Yes, I know I’ve gone on about it before, and I’m sorry, but it’s still absolutely amazing to me to see how memory technology has progressed. I remember having an argument with a guy on USENET (look it up, kids!) in the late 80s about whether AI was possible and he insisted that we could [...]
USBFever Releases o’ the Week Include Bamboo iPhone 5 Case
Okay yeah, I haven’t bought one for myself yet, but I have to say that I really do like the idea of wood in conjunction with computer gear. For so long, “PC” meant “beige plastic box” that it’s nice to see that we’ve reached the stage in design where that no longer obtains by default [...]
USBFever Releases the AccordFolio PU Leather Carrying Case with Multiple Pockets
Carrying your stuff around used to be a lot simpler, honestly; guys had wallets (and distributed their other stuff in various pockets), and women had purses. Simple, if not entirely effective (especially for the guys). But now, when you may be trucking around laptops, tablets, MP3 players, smart phones, Bluetooth devices, and all their associated [...]
New USBFever Releases Include Fisheye + Wide Angle Telephoto Lens Combo for iPhone 5
I’ve mentioned my love of photographic gear many times before. One unfortunate outcome of the move to digital photography (in my opinion) is that cameras have gotten tinier and tinier, so when you starting hooking up your adaptive gear to them–telephoto lenses, zoom lenses, and the like–it can look pretty silly. Not unlike the new [...]
Official “The Simpsons” USB Flash Drives Launched
I remember reading science fiction stories as a kid where various characters who were designing new tech would hash out the old “form follows function vs. function follows form” argument. And in the main, I tended to side with the “form follows function” folks; why gussy up perfectly good tech with chrome and fancy paint [...]
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 [...]
Spice Up Your Memory With Transformers and G.I. Joe Mimobot Flash Drives
As a child of the 80′s you can guarantee I had a few G.I. Joes and plenty of Transformers. With these two series and Star Wars toys, who needs video games and cartoon channels?!? I remember waiting anxiously every Saturday morning to see how G.I. Joe was going to defeat Cobra or Optimus Prime was [...]
