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.

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,…

It’s no surprise that Google collects every user’s data only to make a profit from it. Becoming one of the top five wealthiest companies in the world doesn’t just happen from creating a free search engine; Google’s AdWords was estimated to bring the company a total of $33.3 billion in 2011 which is 97% of Google’s total revenue. Google has been doing this for years, scanning and understanding what you search for at Google.com in order to to provide targeted ads. The search engine giant is moving to the next level by incorporating your Google+’s profile pictures into Google AdWords,…
With LG in talks about creating a curved Smartphone for November, Samsung has taken it to the next step by unveiling the 5.7inch display Galaxy Round. Far from a circular design, the new smartphone has rounded sides and takes advantage of Samsung’s new Full HD Super Flexible AMOLD display that they showed off last year. When set on a flat table, the curved design allows it to rock back and forth giving a notifications update, sort of how the New Moto X has their active display. This will be known as the Roll Effect: Currently the Galaxy Round will debut…
