If I were to ask you which two major technology companies were back at the courts, what would be your answer? If you guessed Samsung and Apple, you would be right. This upcoming Tuesday will begin a follow up trail of the Apple vs. Samsung case. Apple is demanding an extra $380 million for damages that Samsung allegedly caused. On the contrary, Samsung states that they only owe a remaining $52 million for using the Apple trademark of “pinch-to-zoom” on Samsung products 13 years of age or older. Unlike the $1 billion lawsuit between the companies, this trail will be…

I have done reviews in the past of the RAVPower KnightRider and HooToo HT-TM01 , and while they both made good external battery packs for long term travelers, each one lacked a key element; the ease of portability. Over the past few weeks, I have been reviewing the newest edition to RAVPower’s lineup, the RAVPower Luster power bank (Model number: RP-PB08). Throughout the review I will be talking about unboxing it, its build quality and design, features and specifications, and finally, my overall thoughts. A special thank you goes out to RAVPower for providing this product. Figure 1 – The…
Following the release of Apple’s brand new iPhone 5s with the world’s first 64bit processor for smartphones, Samsung is following their competitor’s example by creating their own 64bit CPU. Defined to work as a “2-step approach” Samsung has stated that their 64bit CPU’s design will be based on the ARM architecture. As Apple gathered an audience with the release of a 64bit processor, many reviewers stated that even with such a powerful processor, the iPhone could not even come close to the processor’s full potential. As Samsung did not state to the press which devices a 64bit processor is being…
As technology advances, we gain the ability to pack high capacity storage into smaller and smaller devices. With desktop hard drives reaching an outstanding 3TB of storage space, it’s hard to remember the days of worrying whether or not you could fill up a 500GB hard drive. One thing that almost every computer user has is a flash drive. The ability to share a PowerPoint work presentation or bring home a computer based school assignment is essential. Today, I will be reviewing the Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G3 (Model: DTU30G3/128GB) USB flash drive. I will be discussing the unboxing, build…
Dish Network, the parent company of Blockbuster, has announced that they will be shutting down the remaining 300 retail Blockbuster stores by January 2014. Dish also told customers that the Blockbuster by Mail service will also be cut by December. With Blockbuster failing over the years as the advancement of technology slowly ruins their franchise, in-home video services like Netflix, Xbox, and TV Providers took over the majority of the movie market. Even with such a big name, it would be enough to completely remove Blockbuster from the world. Dish stated that Blockbuster on Demand will stay around, as it…

Monday, LG officially unveiled their newest flagship smartphone, the LG G Flex. Following the unveiling of Samsung’s Galaxy Round two weeks ago, the G Flex is a curved smartphone that has the opposite design from the Galaxy Round, curving from top to bottom instead of from the side to side. As CEO of LG, Jong-Seok Park said “[this] is the best representation yet of how a smartphone should be curved.” Taking major design cues from the LG G2, the G Flex has the power and volume buttons located on the rear of the phone along with the phone’s 13 megapixel…
As a long time eBay member, I can honestly say that I am quite happy with the direction in which eBay is headed. Its newly re-designed website, and allowing most sellers to list for free, has helped grow the user base and bring more items to market. A little over a year ago, eBay announced the new eBay Now, allowing users located in San Francisco and New York City to receive same-day delivery for any item bought on eBay. With this service, eBay teamed up with a large variety of major retailers, such as Best Buy, Finish Line, GNC, Home Depot, Macy’s,…
