I own a Macbook and a Dell Inspiron laptop, both have their issues, number one being the laptop speakers. I do think the internal speakers on my Dell blows the crummy Macbook speakers out of the water, then again, I did select higher end audio hardware for my Dell, something you can’t do with Macbooks, […]

GEAR: Earbud YoYo, Jewelry for your Ipod?
A few months ago at CES I spent a few minutes with Ms. Julie Barkley, a part time dental hygienist-mom and the creator of something called the EarBud YoYo. She’s marketing the Earbud Yo-Yo as similar to a piece of costume jewelry, a wardrobe accessory for iPod users. After patenting the idea and trade marking […]
MOBILE PHONE REVIEW: Verizon’s LG Versa Unboxed and Reviewed
After spending the last few weeks checking out T-Mobile phones, I thought it was time to give Verizon’s latest and “greatest” phone from my friends at LG a go. The LG Versa hit the shelves last week and is a pretty slick little phone. This small touch-screen is somewhere between a “dumb” and “smart” phone. […]
MOBILE PHONE REVIEW: T-Mobile’s Blackberry Pearl Flip
The Blackberry is one of those devices that always perplexed me. It’s the most popular smart phone in the world (yes, even more than the iPhone) and I’ve never had one or really even touched one. Sure my bosses had them but I always took one look at the interface and said, “Ugh, that’s one […]
DIGITAL CAMERA REVIEW: Casio High Speed Exilim
When I was at CES a few months ago, I was genuinely surprised by how much cool gear Casio has. I’m going to have to post those late pictures from my booth tour when I get back from my quick little trip to Disney. A lot of my CES coverage got delayed due to continued […]
MOBILE PHONE REVIEW: Michelle takes T-Mobile’s G1 for a Three Week Spin!
I’m one of those people who really hates paying for a cell-phone since I don’t like talking on the phone and rarely use it. I pay almost $100 a month for my current phone. That’s $2,400 for a two-year contract to use an average of 200 minutes a month (no music, ringtones, texting, internet, nothing) […]
COOL TECH REVIEW: Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements, Michelle’s Take.
I feel incredibly guilty, which is always a bad way to start off a review, I know. But the kind folks at Adobe sent me a copy of Photoshop and Premiere Elements their latest and greatest consumer level photo editing and video editing software last August and I’ve been meaning to write up a review […]
CES REPORT PART 3: Jersey Boys, Michelle’s Review!
So, I’m in Vegas this week for the Consumer Electronics Show and I’m sitting in my room a few days before the festivities kick off and am bored out of my mind. Even though I’ve been to Vegas maybe 10 times, I’ve never been to a show, other than Cirque Du Soleil’s “O” about 10 […]
CES REPORT PART 4: Auto Gear
Ok, Thursday I spent the day being run all over town to various demos, didn’t spend much time on the show floor. I walked the North Hall in the morning and checked out all of the new Auto tech, in the next day or so I’ll post my Gallery of the Cars of CES slideshow. […]
CES REPORT PT 2: Obama Takes away Christmas
In a surprise move that sent shock waves through the CES crowd, Obama announced a delay in the Digital Transition switch. On February 17th, the analog television signal was supposed to be turned off and this date was set in stone. The entire CE Industry was working towards this date, but Obama has put cancelled […]
CES REPORT PART 1: Casio, Netgear and LG
I’m not sure how often I’m going to be able to provide updates for this week’s CES, the internet connection in my hotel room has been pretty much non-existent and I’m paying $12 a day for this “privilege.” I’ll upload a ton of galleries and images when I get back home. I signed up with […]
