Siri: The Holiday Horror Movie
Not since “Santa’s Slay” and “Christmas Evil” has there been a more chillingly wonderful combination of Christmas and Horror. Except maybe for Gremlins. Enjoy. Really looking forward to a Friday the 13th Part 15 – Jason vs Siri. Read More
Review: Phone to Mac 4 – The best tool you’ll hopefully never need
Readers of my reviews are familiar with my love for Elgato’s Eye TV HD, which I have explained has allowed me to amass quite the library of TV shows over the years. But let me explain the exact process I use in full, just so you can have a little empathy (or a good laugh) at my recent misfortune. In order to create that wonderful library of “free” TV Shows for... Read More

Looking for a great last minute gift for that iPad 2-owning guy or girl in your life who’s always talking about how they wish their 64 GB iPad 2 looked like a 128k Macintosh? Well, look no further than the oddly priced $36.99 Retro Cover for iPad 2 from USBFever! Features: – Ultra thin 2.0mm casig [sic], made from strong ABS to protect, and yet thin enough to go unnoticed. –... Read More
Yet another case of technology stealing jobs from humans
With the job market in the toilet, this video of an iPad 2 being dipped in a stream of molten Hawaiian lava breaks my heart. No, it’s not because the poor iPad 2 lets out a plaintiff temperature warning before bursting into flame. It’s because I remember the good old days when it was busty, flesh and blood VIRGINS that were thrown into volcanoes, NOT cold, flat technology.... Read More
Review: EyeTV HD – All you want for Christmas
Turn your Mac into a full-featured DVR with EyeTV Many of us Apple Fanboys swore our oath of allegiance to Apple in our teens and 20’s, and now that we’re in our 30’s we have begun spawning our own new generation of little Fanboys and Girls. Once you, and your family, have committed to the Apple way of life, things can quickly get expensive – you and the wife... Read More
This looks cool: The Gaming Skin for iPhone and iPod touch
Easier than actually reviewing something, I have decided to create a new feature called “This looks cool”, where I showcase things that… look cool. And this looks cool. It’s the Gaming Skin by iSkin, a combination battery pack and speaker/rumble pack which aims to make your iPhone/iPod gaming experience a little more immersive by adding vibration and (hopefully)...

Games That Don’t Suck: Russian Dancing Men
Today’s game that doesn’t suck is the amazingly awesome (and hilariously bizarre) Russian Dancing Men (iTunes: 99¢ – Universal) , from SmashMouth Games. At its heart it’s basically a rhythm game where you need to tap one (or two) buttons at the appropriate time to help your character (a Russian Dance troupe leader) get his group safely over the various obstacles...

How To: Combine multiple PDFs in Preview
When someone at work recently asked me if there was a way to combine 6 separate PDFs into 1 PDF for emailing a proposal to a client, I realized two things. The first is, sometimes when you do something every day you take for granted that everyone knows you can do this quite easily with the Mac OS X Preview app. And second, I realized that I’m awesome. Actually, I already... Read More
Kindle Fire outselling iPads at Best Buy – Amazon is a big baby
With the news today that Amazon’s Kindle Fire is outselling the iPad 2 at Best Buy, I thought it wise to revisit this little Kindle Fire mention by Seth Meyers on SNL a few months back (about 40 seconds in). Giving we are now well into the holiday shopping season, I think Seth’s warning to parents bares repeating. Now, this news should not be cause for we fanboys to... Read More
