Retrofones

by Bea April 30th, 2010 | Cell Phones
I recently saw an iRetrofone priced around $200 and could not help but think that the "phone" was not too appealing. It looks like an old rotary-styled phone, but instead of where the dial is, your iPhone is docked there. It syncs and docks via the same USB cord that you already have and just looks so modern, even though it is supposed to look like it is from last century's technology. To me it seems a little useless because it is so obvious that it is trying to look retro while looking modern-- which just does not

Droid Game Apps

by Joe Lawrence April 21st, 2010 | Cell Phones
Let's face it, what is the point in having a smart phone if you can't have fun?  I have found three games for my Droid ERIS that have kept me very entertained.  Without further delay: The Sims 3, Spades and Frozen Bubble.

The Sims 3 is a fun way to kill some time.  For those not familiar with the Sims, you create a character and live their lives for them.  You get them a job, spouse, and control all aspects of their day.  You tell them when to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, clean up and everything else.  It

No Adobe Flash on the iPad?!

by Jacob P. April 12th, 2010 | Computers, Cyber Culture, Software
Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's official.  It has been known that Apple wouldn't be including Flash on the iPad for a little while, but now we have a better knowledge of why...

In my opinion, the whole mess is a rather complicated 'he said, she said" mess.  Is either company truly correct?  NO!  Both companies are doing the classic "blame someone else and cover my %@$!"  So, here is what I have collected on the situation.

Adobe's Flash isn't on the iPad because, Steve Jobs apparently told employees that Flash would soon be made obsolete by HTML5, and that it’s too buggy,

Alright Red Sox fans, here is the latest Red Sox paraphernalia that you must own. Well, okay, you really do not have to own a pair of these, but if you are all about the Sox and are determined to own all that is Red Sox, then here is a gadget you can parade around with.

For about the same price as a ticket, two hot dogs, and a beer, here is something a diehard fan could go for-- Red Sox Headphones. They look like your typical full-sized big headphones, except they have Red Sox plastered all over them. Officially licensed as

TVs Go 3D

by Joe Lawrence April 2nd, 2010 | Television
I remember when flat screen televisions (not flat panel) came out.  I thought there would be nothing any better, ever.  Then there was HDTV, and nothing could ever top that.  Until now. . . there is 3D TV.

I keep seeing commercials for a Samsung 3D TV, so I wanted to look into them.  The area I am at temporarily, doesn't have any of these TVs available for me to personally play with, but the Internet is full of reviews.

Everything I have read has been positive about the picture quality of the new technology.  There has been no real criticism
