Well, hello there, Safari!

I’ve never really looked at my web browser as a sexy woman (probably because I’m too busy using my web browser to look AT sexy women) but photo artist Mike Roshuk has, and he’s posted some of his “Girls as Browsers” concepts. I particularly like the clueless Internet Explorer and her Blue Screen of death. However I am saddened by the omission of FireFox,... Read More

Review: RAVPower Deluxe 14000mAh External Battery Charger – Portable Power for Everything you own

I get a lot of e-mails this time of year from PR companies asking if I plan to put together a year-end holiday gift guide, and if so can they please get some of their client’s stuff on it. Traditionally this stuff ranges from crap to semi-crap, but here’s an item that turned out to not only be NOT crap, but should really be on both your and your friend’s holiday... Read More

Review: iPin adds freakin’ lasers to your iPhone!

Well, the must have holiday gift for both you are your pet is clearly the iPin ($86 at Amazon).

Review: Bravo Case for iPhone 5

Statistically speaking, if your iPhone is going to die an accidental death, it will likely be either from a fall or drowning in the toilet. Just like people. And if you have small kids, the odds of both of those events happening increases 10 fold. But is the fear of an impact or submersion worth having your iPhone encased in some bulky, unstylish rubber and plastic monstrosity... Read More

Check out these sweet Apple TV decals from Killer Duck Decals. At $10 a piece, how can you go wrong?! (well, unless they cause it to overheat or not work of course…) But... Read More

Review: PocketPlug case for iPhone – Never feel powerless again!

I’ve always been interested in portable charging solutions for my iPhone, which is odd since I am never more than 2 feet from my computer or a USB charging cable. Still, I am a sucker for having a constant charge, which is why Prong’s PocketPlug ($69.95) caught my eye. I’ve always been a big fan of portable battery cases, but the PocketPlug is something different.... Read More

Games That Don’t Suck: Samurai Siege

I’ve been putting off writing about Samurai Siege (free) for a few weeks now, primarily because it so closely resembles one of my favorite games (and previous “Games That Don’t Suck” nominee) Clash of Clans. I’m not a fan of games that rip-off other successful game formulas, but I cannot deny that I have been playing the game nearly non-stop and enjoying... Read More
