Today’s announcement by Facebook, that they’ve decided to enable sound along with their existing autoplay videos in my home stream, has me praying for Google Chrome to step up to the plate with a native feature to auto mute sounds from tabs.
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…

TwelveSouth’s BookBook Makes My iPad Pro Look More Aesthetic
If you are a fan of TwelveSouth’s products, and happen to have an iPad Pro, you really need to check out the BookBook Hardback Leather Case for Apple’s iPad Pro tablet. They sent us over a unit to check out, so let’s dive right into it.

What’s special about the BookBook that makes the brand such a fan favorite is the ability to stand out, without being overly gaudy. This…
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. There’s always one hand missing, or none at all. So I searched for a pair of gloves that not only would keep my hands warm to fight the temperatures outside, but will still give me the ability to use my phone as I see fit. Then Moshi’s Digit Touchscreen Gloves arrived at my…

Chevy Teams Up with Lego Batman!
So, who’s excited for Lego Batman? Apparently, Chevy is, since for a cool $48,000,000, they’re listing the all-new Lego Batmobile on their site. The whole landing site is really an excellent marriage of car and movie marketing, with lots of winks to the movies but also played as a deadpan legitimate site. My favorite is the car comparison chart, but the whole site is great! Now all we need is the release of Lego Batman…
