The Nokia 3310 Goes Back to the Basics
The Nokia 3310 was a phone with an iconic look that was as striking as it was simple. Now Nokia has brought it back- at least from an anesthetic perspective. As they put it, the 2017 Nokia 3310 is “A modern classic reimagined.” If you love retro gear you are going to love this phone.
Porsche Design Elevates the Surface Book Design to a New Level
Microsoft is intent on proving Windows 10 runs on hardware that looks as good as the software, and their latest partnership with Porsche Design is a big step in that direction. Porsche Design’s laptop looks like the Surface Book and Macbook Pro realized their rivalry was due to a deep and forbidden love. Basically, it’s shiny, metallic, with a huge touchpad, but it also has a removable touchscreen AND a 360 degree hinge. Now, this isn’t a cheap laptop, clocking in at over $2500, but it sure looks good! We’ll have to wait and see, but if the insides match…

The Circle Is Watching You in the Latest Trailer
If you haven’t yet read Dave Egger’s “The Circle“, I highly recommend it. It’s fantastic, building a world around a company that is part Facebook, part Google, where your privacy is an obstacle to their success. When I heard there was a movie being made, I was partially excited and partially concerned. Based on the trailer, the movie will have even more bite than the book! Yes, that was Emma Watson, Tom Hanks, Karen Gillan, Patton Oswalt, and John Boyega, among many others. It’s coming out this April, and I am beyond excited. We already live in a world where…

Stop Taking Off Your Gloves to Type This Winter with Moshi’s Digits
Moshi’s Digit Touchscreen Gloves are the best way to keep warm while using your smartphone this winter. While it hasn’t been a lot of snow this season, there have been a few really chilly days outside. And like clockwork every year, I can never find my gloves.
