Motorola MotoROKR S9-HD

Checked out my RSS feeds today and to my surprise, here’s a gadget that would certainly, certainly be useful for active folks. Sure does look like a pair of shades when you initially look at it, but careful scrutiny will show that the ends aren’t curved to fit the ear, it’s “spoked” to be inserted. LOL! For about US$130, this better be good sound quality, and I’m sure it is! Kudos to Motorola for thinking about people who are just having a hard time with cables. When you’re in a rushing crowd it does hurt when the earphones are quickly snapped from you! Ouch! Happened to me several times. And Read more »

Acer Aspire One

I had the privilege of using an Acer Aspire One for about a week when my uncle asked me to initialize it for his office use. At first it was a little too awkward for me to use it because it was too small for my fingers. I’ve been used to larger notebooks from the DELL Inspiron 8600 to the Macbook Pros… but I felt I needed a dip into the “other side” to find out how it feels to operate a netbook. Good thing I did, at least now I could say it wasn’t bad at all! It was a little weird at first, but after about an hour Read more »

The iCarta iPod Dock

This is real, no joke at all! Just before I hit the sack I tried pulling up Amazon.com to see what is there I can find interest in. Page after page was all too boring, but when it’s time to hit the final click… viola! The iCarta iPod dock tissue dispenser! LOL. Currently on-sale is one used and one unused unit. Boy, will that used unit stay there forever! This seems to drive my suspicion a little further that they’re making iPod docs out of everything these days… there’s the iLamp, the iChair, the iEverything… now the iI’veseeneverything! The iCartca tissue dispenser for the toilet. Here’s a brush stroke of Read more »

F.E.A.R.2: Project Origin

I’ve been lucky enough recently to play the demo of F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin and I can safely say that it is very, very good. Naturally, the demo is set up to showcase a range of gameplay styles including the gunplay and horror that made the original game so memorable. So, how does it follow on from there? Beginning shortly before the ending of F.E.A.R., a Special Forces squad is on a routine mission when the city of Auburn is rocked by a supernatural explosion. Alma, a girl with immense power and a thirst for revenge, has unleashed her wrath upon the city and thrown it into chaos. Tension builds Read more »

HP Mini 1000

I was viewing my podcasts this morning when from CNet’s gadget review shows I saw the HP Mini 1000 review. Quite impressive piece of engineering here, looks like HP has learned a lot from the early netbook developers and well ironed out some of the “flaws” to birth the HP Mini 1000. Heard from Veronica Belmont over Twitter that she’s currently playing with her HP Mini 1000… ohhhh… so jealous she’s got one! Anyway, the HP Mini 1000 is one of my current faves, I’m putting that in my wishlist! It’s got a wide keyboard that I think fits my big hands, and has got a glossy edge-to-edge screen like Read more »

Verizon Hub… a handsome voip phone

It’s a desktop phone, really! But it sure does look like something from a Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movie, doesn’t it. I think it’s the screen monitor that made this stand out as it works it as the main console to operate everything in the unit. It’s designed to make a family manage their connected life. In addition to the regular voice phone features it adds voice mail, contact list management, text messaging, calendar alerts and several monitors like for temperature, the weather and more. It works with any broadband provider, that’s a plus! It’s a VOIP phone, so it will work wherever an internet wireless spot is around. Verizon Read more »

Samsung's wireless printers

Oh no… I hope my uncle’s not reading this today because I’m sure he’d head on over to the nearest Office Depot to get this wireless printer! I’m not too sure what’s he got with printers that he always need to get the latest ones. I’ve been helping him out all week last week to install 2 fax/printer/copy/scanners by Canon. The first one on a wireless printer server via Net Gear and the other one taking an ethernet cable to his Dell True Mobile router. He’s still to ask me to connect 2 laser printers for him next week, now this new printer comes out. I’m very sure once he Read more »

Uwe Boll to be given a Razzie worst career achievement award

Uber hack Uwe Boll is going to get recognition for his work mangling video games and turning them into unwatchable movies. The wacky German director of such video game adaptations as Postal, BloodRayne and Alone in The Dark will get the Golden Raspberry awards. The awards, better known as the Razzies, is given each year to single out the worst movies and performances of the year. Boll will be given the “distinguished” Worst Career Achievement Award. One of the rare times that the award has been given. He now joins past Career Achievement awardees as Bruce (the rubber shark used in Jaws), Linda Blair, Irwin Allen and Ronald Reagan. If Read more »
