Vista has had a bad rap since it’s release.  I think a lot of it is because of Apple’s great marketing.  We all remember those “I’m a Mac” commercials.  Microsoft launched a new ad compaign called the Mojave Experiment.  They picked people that said they didn’t like Windows Vista and showed them a new OS [...]

I was on the phone this weekend with DirecTV activating my new HR-21.  While I was on the phone I asked when local HD would be available in my area.  She said she had no idea.  So I ordered the AM-21 to go with the HR-21 in the family room.  I told her as soon [...]

The site has been a silent over the past week.  I was on vacation in Las Vegas which was a great time.  I didn’t even take my laptop with me as I had been spending way too much time working before I left.  Between my day job and working hard on this site I had [...]

I was holding off talking about anything Fiji because it was back and forth on when it was coming and what it was offering.  Then when it was time to write about it there was already a very good post up by Brent Evans over at GeekTonic.  He was posting the details about it as [...]

The new iPhone with 3g and GPS makes it a great device to go geocaching with.  The one issues is there is no application that will locate and navigate to caches from geocaching.com.  The folks over at TUAW have a step by step on using the iPhone 3g for geocaching.  The reason this is possible [...]

Dell has the Linksys DMA 2100 for $150 after $100 instant rebate.  $150 is the price the extenders should of been since day one.  I wouldn’t wait too long if you want one, I don’t know how long this will last.  The DMA 2200 is also $100 off which makes the price $249.  The 2200 [...]

Engadget asked what you would change about the Popcorn Hour.  Since I have posted many videos on the Popcorn Hour I thought I would give a little summary of what was said in the comments.  Now most people that I have talked to about the device use it for HD content.  I am not one [...]

Electronic House has a new article about Ed Sweeting building a backyard home theater for $300.  It wasn’t exactly $300 if you had to buy everything but it looks really good and that’s all that he paid for it.  It shows that if you have the willingness to have something and a little tinkering skills [...]

Dell will be releasing a firmware update for multi-touch on the Dell XT.  I’m a little disappointed because I have access to about every Dell laptop but this one.  I’ll have to place a call to the Dell Rep and see if I can’t get one to borrow for awhile.  The video below shows some [...]

I have been playing around with a digital photo keychain from wholesalekeychain.com for a couple of weeks now.  I posted a video review below.  I did want to write out a few things about the digital photo keychain though.  I was surprised how rugged the little screen was.  It didn’t even have a single scratch [...]
