If you’re like me, then you like cars. At the same time, you like the tech that goes into cars (go to cars.cnet.com for a good lesson). For years, I have been looking for a good way to integrate my iPod/iPhone with our minivan (2002 Mazda). I looked at FM modulators, but they just plain…
Update: Still lovin’ this mouse. Leaving the USB receiver in the slot has proven to be quite handy since I take my laptop several different locations per week. Tracking is spot on . . . even took my laptop to work before sleep and it tracked great on my mattress. Battery has been adequate. I’ve…
Back in November, I wrote about Netflix streaming and the new (at that time) Roku box. Well, Alison took my hints and I recieved my shine (tiny) Roku box for Christmas this past December. Yeah, it’s all I wanted it to be. After 8 months with the device, I can say (IMHO) that it’s all it’s…
I recently had some issues with my Etymotic HF2 Earphones for my iPhone (LOVE them). I lost audio connection and ruled out my phone, so I sent them back to Etymotic for repair. No receipt, no questions, I have a shiney new pair righ here a week later (they replaced them). Just wanted to give…
My plan after upgrading my laptop was to let Alison use my old faithful gateway. Well, after minutes (looong minutes) of boot up time, that option fell by the way. I had heard about “Netbooks” becoming really popular for secondary systems and thought she might like one. I searched far and wide and did my…
Update: OK, looks like there’s no camera! Still a good idea though. I’m reading that yet another version will be out first half of next year, so I’ll hold out hope! I know there’s alot of chatter about the new iPhone’s possible release next week, but I think it’s merited. One thing I really think…
So, you’ll be able to mount a plasma on your wall . . . with nothing but a power cord? Now we’re talking. Samsung plans on unveiling plasma televisions that are wirelessly connected to your components (DVD, cable box, TiVo, etc.). It uses the not-yet-ratified 802.11n (Wi-Fi) standard, but just the thought of it makes…
Here’s a quick take on a cool little device. If you have a digital camera that uses an SD card (Canon SD line comes to mind), then here is a cool little device. It is a memory card (2 GB) that has built in Wi-Fi. When I first heard about this device a year or…
So, I was checking Reuters today . . . looks like the much rumored Google phone will become a reality next year. From skimming the article, I gathered that they’re going to make surfing on your phone as easy (or close) as surfing from your computer. I say, bring it on, Google. I just hope…
So, I’ve already mentioned my Nokia E61i phone. I still love it . . . I found a $20 data plan that will let me access Mobile Google Maps. Bottom line: If you have a Smart Phone and a data plan, get this application. Not just because it’s free, but because it is the most…
