With the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2016 finished, hundreds of manufacturers unveiled some neat and exciting new technology. Everything from new TVs, Cars, Phones and headphones, to small Bluetooth tracking devices were announced and all of these devices give us a glimpse of what 2016 has to hold. Something that caught my attention at CES this year was the fact that everything is going mobile. Battery technology has allowed us to travel further, for longer, without the worry that our device is going to lose power. My Galaxy Note 4 smartphone goes an entire two days before I even consider…

Before I even open Microsoft Word to begin writing one of these articles, I grab my favorite headphones and make my way to my desired music streaming website. From the first word to the last, two hours of music helps make these reviews fly by. My music listening isn’t just when I type though. It’s when I walk around in the kitchen, work outside in the garage, enjoying the summer sun by the pool, go to sleep, or have a few people over for an afternoon gathering and chances are you too enjoy some tunes when doing on something. Music…
Anybody can drive out to Walmart and pick up the average black Xbox One or PlayStation 4. The same goes for buying controllers, cell phones, computers, and practically any device. Imagine that you stand in line to meet Harrison Ford after watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens. There are hundreds of people in line that have a Sharpie in one hand, a photograph in the other. Why bother standing in line for hours to meet someone for approximately two minutes? It’s the opportunity to have a personalized photo that nobody else could have. No matter what, that photo will always…
For those living in the northern lands of their home country, you may know by now that fall has ended and the brutal cold and ice storms are on their way; we call this winter, something that forces us indoors and makes it feel like time has slowed down. While the summer pool events have ended, that doesn’t mean the events will stop and while we are trapped behind the warmth of our home’s exterior walls, it certainly doesn’t mean the music has to stop either. With Thanksgiving over, American radio stations will begin playing their Christmas tunes alongside their…
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…
