You can never be too careful while driving and especially with nearly 30,000 car related accidents per day in the United States. Driving takes all of your concentration, but unfortunately, at least once in your life you will have to face some sort of accident, whether it’s yours or another’s fault. When there are no other cameras in the area and the only witnesses have driven off, it becomes a battle between your words and those of the other party. An all-seeing electronic eye is what’s needed to help win the battle in court and prove your innocence or fight…

Personal computing has advanced considerably when compared to the original Altair 8800 that Bill Gates used in the Seventies to demonstrate Altair BASIC, the first program to be sold by the newly created Microsoft.. One aspect that has changed dramatically is the way we store electronic data. From the old 80 megabyte mainframe hard drives that weighed pounds instead of ounces and were massive in size to today’s tiny drives that store terrabytes of data. Your standard hard disk drive uses internal disks or platters that rotate at set speeds, typically 5400 or 7200 RPM, which are then read from,…
The audio market is filled with different audio manufacturers, styles, sounds, and customers. While this creates a lot of competition to be one of the best, it also makes for some interesting products. One thing that is consistent throughout all audio products is their ability to take an electronic signal and convert it to a wave length for your ears to hear. Virtually any sound from any game, movie, video, or song can be produced on nearly all audio equipment, so what makes one better over the other? Audio manufacturers have all tried to advertise their own special way of…
In my most recent review, I took a look at the Amazon Fire TV Stick, and I said that Americans are now seeking to move away from the cable and satellite TV subscriptions. Well, while I concluded that the Fire TV Stick was an excellent alternative, the more technology advanced of readers may take it a step further and choose to create a multimedia computer designated for the living room. These compact entertainment computers are budget-friendly machines that are connected to a living room home entertainment system. Their advantages are limitless as with a Windows operating system, everything that can…
Since its launch in the mid-1960s, color television has been a staple for American households , and a study from The Nielsen Company showed that in 2011, 96.7% of Americans owned at least one TV. In recent news, you may have heard or seen articles telling consumers how to “cut the cord” to their satellite and cable TV subscriptions. With monopolies like AT&T, Time Warner Cable, Comcast, and Charter slowly increasing the costs of television subscriptions, consumers are seeking out better alternatives to the expensive, and slowly becoming outdated, television subscription/set-top boxes. It was in 2007 when the world took…
Pre-2010, the thought of owning a large screen touch device seemed more like a fad than reality. It was the launch of the iPad (First Generation) that got people to pay closer attention to these plus-sized devices. Five years later and most households in America own or have used a tablet in their life, whether it be a tablet purchased for home entertainment or one provided by a school to their students for educational learning. Another place they are beginning to gain interest is in the business market as their thin profile, but still functional aspects make them ideal for…
We’ve all seen the car commercials that list off their standard features, such as navigation, built-in applications, and Bluetooth. These features can make those who own an older car feel left out. Since its creation, the FM radio has been installed in nearly every single car on the road today. The FM radio allows us to enjoy our favorite tunes, hear today’s weather and traffic conditions, as well as local news stories. While FM radios haven’t changed much, the broadcasts that they send have. Many of today’s radio stations tend to constantly replay the same songs over-and-over again. Furthermore, for…
Before the emergence of computing, the go-to recording device was a mechanical typing machine that punched ink onto a page of paper, allowing somebody to type more quickly than they could write. People began to type so quickly that a new keyboard had to be created, known as the QWERTY keyboard today. Remember the days of smartphones that came with physical keyboards? People began to adore the fact that they could quickly type on a mobile device, but loathed the action of typing on such a small keyboard. Today, people have the ability to type on a digital glass screen…
If you’ve been following my reviews from the past, you’ll know that I’m a fan of the portable battery manufacturer, RAVPower. Since first reviewing their products from nearly a year ago, each and every device has provided me with excellent service and ensures that my mobile devices stay powered. Today is no different as over the past month I’ve been using and reviewing their latest two devices; backup batteries that come with a new style and a bigger battery bank to keep you going longer. Branded under the RAVPower Deluxe Series, the RP-PB07 jam-packs a 10,400 mAh battery into a…
It’s a pleasant afternoon and there you wait behind a few other cars at the fast food drive up lane. You take a slight glance out your driver side window and ponder the day; when all of a sudden you hear a loud bam. What just happened? You look forward and quickly notice how the person in front of you accidently reversed their car into yours. Accidents like those happen every single day; some minor repairs, others that cause death. In civilized areas of the United States accidents are handled without caution and after a police report is filed your…
