A Perfect Match: The Aliph Jawbone Review

I admit I love wearing Bluetooth headsets for phone conversations (in the privacy of my car). However to wear them publicly, you have to get past the cyborg ribbing and the crazy look that people give you from looking at you like you’re talking crazy. Truth be told, most Bluetooth headsets are not worth the [...]

They have limited ram, limited CPU and limited on board storage. This limits greatly what can be done with the router software wise. So, eventually, you run up against a wall with what [...]

The Belkin TuneBase FM with ClearScan for iPod Review

One of the complaints that I’ve heard when doing FM transmitter reviews in the past, was that it can be hard to find a clear station to transmit through in larger cities. My biggest complaint has been that even when I’ve found a good station to hijack, the quality of the streaming music is all [...]

Newcomer’s Guide To Upgrading MacBook Pro Memory And Saving $ 620

While ordering a MacBook Pro last month I shook my head at the obscene $700 $400 price that Apple charges for upgrading memory from the basic 2GB to 4GB. The additional 2GB of memory was quoted as a $ 700 upgrade option! Instead of paying Apple to add the memory during the order – I [...]
