I’m always on the lookout for a decent set of headphones for my iPhone – but honestly, while I’m not an audiophile even I can tell how substandard the audio quality is on iPods. Especially when you compare it to CDs, Zunes and other .MP3 Players. I hope they sound better than they look. JVC […]

TELEVISION TECHNOLOGY: Five Ways to Improve Tivo’s Service
Believe it or not, I don’t think I’ve ever complained about my crummy Verizon Fios service. I absolutely love their blazing fast Internets but their television service basically sucks, specifically their HD. I’m a subscriber to their “Extreme HD” package that includes all their HD Channels. Only problem is there HD-DVR is so crummy that […]
COOL TECH: Amazon Kindle DX Reviewed!
My love of the first Amazon Kindle didn’t come right away, it was a slow build that took a month or so for me to really appreciate its simple elegance. When I first got it, my initial reaction was this thing cost me $359?! I thought it was a cheaply made device with really big, […]
APPLE NEWS: Sirius Playing Games with iPhone App Pricing!
I have Sirius in my car and I’ll admit at first I didn’t like most of the original music stations (at least their “hits” stuff), they always had pretty esoteric playlist, I am enjoying it more now that they use XM for their 80s, hits, and 90s stations. But what the heck, no more all […]

Rumor has it that at some point today, Apple will release OS 3.0 into the wild. I’m going to try and wait to upgrade because I have a technical black cloud hanging over me this week where everything I touch has been breaking – including my iTunes being completely borked. Current iPhone owners can download […]
COOL TECH REVIEW: Gigatribe an Easy P2P Networking Tool
I feel really bad about this review; the fine folks at Gigatribe sent me a code months ago to review their new secured file sharing system. The fact that it’s not Mac compatible and is Windows only doesn’t help matters. Basically what happens is you go to gigatribe.com and download an application that essentially is […]

Our new buds over at Microsoft have given us something really cool to giveaway – An Exclusive Battlestar Galactica branded 16 Gig Zune! This Zune is a pretty sweet little device.

Last year Microsoft launched the first version of its wannabe iPod killer, the Zune last year to a big fat yawn from the public and tech critics alike. The original device was pretty fugly from a hardware standpoint, its colors muted and drab, and the software itself pretty lame. There was just no compelling reason […]
