In the last year or so, 20% of all damaged iPhones in the world have FAILED due to the cracking of its screens. Even Nintendo has added a protective silicon cover for their Wiimotes since they have been crackin’ up HDTVs like it’s no big thang. Well, Apple better do something and put some protective iPhone covers as default otherwise they may be cheating the consumers. (t ...

Samsung releases their new HD camcorder SMX-C14 and SMX-C10, both HD camcorders come with 16GB of internal memory plus SD card slots for expansion. I’ve seen a big array of great HD cameras lately, but I don’t think none of them are as great as far as price and function are concerned. These HD cams are only available in South Korea right now, I might have to fly over th ...

Everytime I goto the Apple Store in San Francisco, I am amazed at how quickly you can check out without a receipt, the receipt actually can be sent to my e-mail box, which I can confirm in real-time using my Blackberry GMail app. Apart from the Apple Store, I don’t see that many other retailers using paperless receipts, perhaps it’s ahead of its time.

We’ve seen a slew of solar-powered lamps in the last couple years but this is the very first time “dirt”, (yes, the stuff that’s on your ground) has been used to power a lamp. We wonder how long this will go, specifically when it will be available to the consumers. The soil lamp uses the chemical reaction between copper, zinc, and slightly moistened mud to crea ...

Are you kidding me? I just did a complete review of the new Apple In-ear Headphones and how they do NOT work on most iPods and Apple wants to make money off other companies making volume/mic function for their headphones. I know it’s a recession, but this is going WAY too far, knock it off Apple, you need to do the opposite in these hard financial times. Oh god, please no, App ...

I have never been a fan of bluetooth headsets (yet) due to the undiscovered side effects (that most consumers don’t know about) but if you must, I highly suggest reading up on how to make a Steampunk bluetooth headset. Last halloween I dressed up in an old fashioned manor with my cell phone in a pocket keychain. The chain was too short for the phone to reach my ear. This left me w ...

Finally! There’s some rumors that the iPhone might be coming to Verizon, or CDMA networks that is. As good as the iPhone is, AT&T has reached too far into consumers’ wallets, knowing their network sucks. Anyways, this is good news as Verizon and Sprint have proved that their broadband connection is 2-5 times faster than their GSM competitors. I will definitely get ...

(Image Credit) Yey, my favorite Firefox browser hits record market share of 20%! Although still far aways from taking over IE, it’s far better than 4-5% couple years ago when Firefox started becoming more and more popular among U.S. users. (Btw, Asian users still rely on IE mostly, due to the fact that most of their online credit card systems work exclusively with IE’s e ...
