If you own a non-Unibody MacBook Pro then your machine is probably getting pretty long in the tooth. One component that is probably not pulling its weight anymore is the battery. Unlike the iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air the battery on these machines is user replaceable. Recently the battery on my 2007 17” MacBook Pro decided …

So the long awaited patch 1.4 for Skyrim on the PlayStation 3 has come. Yes I installed it and really didn’t get the chance to play it until late last night. I followed the tips, you need to install the patch, then launch the game, create a manual save and then restart your …

I like cases with lots of room in them, I used to like small cases but I’ve since changed my mind on them as I like the room to move and route wires to keep them out of the way. Today for review I’ve got the Thermaltake Overseer RX-I PC case which is a full …

Skylanders are hot, I know my kids love them, but it seems everywhere you go they’re out of stock. Our friends at Mobile Fun just dropped me a line letting me know so I can let you know that they’ve got a lot in stock, including adventures packs and lots more!  Get them while you …

Apparently Intel has just released a new SSD as I’ve got a ton off reviews that came in today. Apparently I’m not in the know about these things as we didn’t get one, come to think of it I don’t think I’ve ever gotten anything from Intel for review?! There’s a …

Here’s something unexpected, Idolian has just announced that they’re $99 Android tablet will be getting an upgrade to Android 4.0. I have to wonder how they’re doing it if the big companies out there like Samsung and others are saying that they’re expensive tablet can’t get ICS ? How the heck can a little $99 …

Over the past year the SSD market has exploded with more companies producing these drives almost on a daily basis. In the past only a few names, which included Intel, Kingston and OCZ, were the only game in town if you wanted an SSD. Well times have changed and there are numerous brand choices. …

I don ‘t think this product needs much of an introduction, unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year or so then I think you know what Angry Birds are. They’ve become extremely successful and have spawned several lines of accessories and today I have one of the more useful ones, at …

Who the heck is Marc Newson? Well reading the PR I see he’s a well known designer of pretty much everything. The Pentax K-01 features a 16mp sensor with a 3” LCD and it can do 1080P at 30FPS. Obviously it’s rather bright in color so it might not be for everyone, the price is …

Genius is into the gaming peripheral game it seems and they’ve just announced a rather cool sounding mouse called the DeathTaker that’s made for MMO and RTS games. The game let’s you use macros and it has up to 5700 DPI.     …

I’m on a new sleep schedule and I don’t like it, I have to get up about two hours earlier than I did before and I just can’t get accustomed to it. At least not yet, by the time it’s bed time for my kids I’m ready to go to bed …

Ok, I’m back.. it’s been a rough last few days. Yesterday my furnace died and it was 28F outside, I wasn’t very happy at all. I like Epson printers, they work very well. It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed any of their wide format printers though, the last one I got I actually donated …

Did you ever just have one of those weeks where you didn’t feel like doing anything? That’s the kind of week I had this past week, that’s one of the dangers of working from home and not really having a boss. You can just sit back, relax and say “I’ll do …

Now this I think is rather cool and best of all it’s free, well sort of. The Go Payment credit card reader attached to most any phone and allows you to swipe and accept cards right through your phone. It attaches via the audio port and and you just swipe to get paid. It’s small …

How about covering your iPad 2 in a case that will cost more than you paid for that iPad 2? Well at least I think it will cost more than an iPad 2. MeeMojo is about to introduce a titanium case, but there’s no price listed in the press releases. I’ve seen their aluminum billet …

Depending on the type of computer you use, a USB hub may not be a luxury but a necessity. For laptop and Apple Mac users USB ports can become full rather quickly. A well-designed USB hub can provide additional ports while only occupying one USB port on the host machine. For instance most iMacs have …

Now this looks like a fun game for me and my kids. In Saving Yello you have to help save Yello the goldfish from his 7 yr old owner who likes to take him out of his bowl to paly with him?! I’m not sure about the taking him our of his bowl thing, but …

I’ve never heard of Silverlicious, but I’m guessing there’s a reason for that as I don’t think it’s my type of game or thing. Apparently is based on the Pinkalicious children’s book series and in the DS game you get to play as Pinkalicious who has lost her ability to taste anything sweet. …

And by inexpensive I mean under $10, $9.99 to be exact but that is under $10 right? The NotePal D-Lite is part of the NotePal series obviously but it’s made to keep your laptop cool and yet be budget friendly. It will probably cost more to ship than it does it buy it..   …

It’s time for the news once again, once I get this posted I’ve got to get back to writing up some reviews. Inside you’ll find the usual stuff, and then a lot more CES stuff, a lot of sites are wrapping it up now with their final looks at what they …

I’m a tinkerer, or someone that likes to do things myself, and I also like to take things apart and see what makes them tick. Many times doing this I accidentally damage things sadly, especially things with thin seams on them. Today I’ve got a quick review of a what I consider a must-have product …

I’ve never reviewed a label maker before. I honestly never thought I’d need one. I never wanted one. I’ve since changed my mind on all of that, I’ve got a label maker now, a nice one actually and that’s what I’ve got for you right now. Today for review I’ve got the Epson LabelWorks LW-400 …

Apple has gone into the education textbook business apparently with the launch of iTunes U App, the ‘U’ meaning university I would assume, or maybe it’s ‘U’ as in ‘you’?! The iTunes U app gives iOS users access to the world’s largest catalog of free educational content from top universities including Cambridge, Duke, Harvard, Oxford …

Now here’s a case I could see my system in. The new Shinobi XL has got plenty of room for everything I’m sure, it looks great and it’s got tons of features. One of the new things they’ve added is called a SuperCharge port which is a UBS port for charging your devices only that …

Another game deal for you, the recently released Nano Assault for 3DS has gone on sale for $19.99. The game has gotten very good reviews overall and I think it might be worth grabbing especially at this price now. Nano Assault is a 3D shooter in which you’re fighting a virus to stop it from …

It looks like AT&T has come up with new pricing for their data plans, but it looks like it’s the same as Verizon now, at least that’s what I’ve heard. Anyway, I’m still grandfathered in with my unlimited data so I won’t be changing anytime soon, at least I hope they won’t force me to. …

The USB charged device has permeated into almost everyone’s life; if you own even one single digital device then most likely it includes a USB-based charging system. If you don’t use a universal charging station then your AC wall outlet can become overwhelmed with plugs and adapters to charge your electronics. Some households might even …

I’m sure by now you’ve noticed plenty of sites have gone dark. All of my personally owned sites have, from 8am until 8pm EST as I don’t think these bills or laws are in the best interest of the internet as a whole. I run or manage this site, but I don’t own it so …

I’ve been hearing about this case for quite some time but this is the first time I’ve got to actually see pictures of it and it’s a decent looking case. It’s a bit plain, but that’s not a bad thing as not everyone like flashy, me included there. When I was young yes a flashy …

Friday the 13th is a good day to launch a spooky game isn’t it?  For some reason I want this game, I know the reason actually, I like horror and especially spooky or scary games and it seems Spirit Camera might provide some thrills and chills.          Hand-held gaming fans with a taste for scary stories and …
