Bluetooth headsets, although very practical , still, in my opinion, haven’t received the widespread acceptance they deserve.

iPad Shipping “Update”- Apple’s Got The Power!
Yesterday Judie and I posted our sad tale of woe after speaking to UPS and both being told that there is no Saturday shipping in our areas. I could understand Judie’s situation since she is in a totally rural area but I am in New Jersey! It didn’t make sense that I would not be [...]
Blue Plate Special: Collapse! Chaos Free For iPhone/Touch

Fictionwise Discontinues “Buywise” Program Due To Agency Model
The agency model is making some hardcore waves in the ebook world. First Kobo explained they would be discontinuing coupons, and now Fictionwise has quietly booted their membership program. Buywise offered 15% off books for members, along with special “micropay rebate” offers. It looks like the discount on the books clashed with the new clauses [...]
Same Device + Different Users = Totally Different Perspectives.
One of the new apps that I am most looking forward to on the iPad is the Keynote application. The reason is simple. The app looks amazing, and I have been using Keynote more and more over the last two years. Having it available for both creating and presenting material on the über-mobile iPad will [...]
Verizon *Finally* Updates Motorola Droid to 2.1 … so who cares?
Image courtesy of TalkAndroid Operating System updates are a funny thing – we just got one from Apple the other day (OS X 10.6.3), but how many folks who have applied it really even know what it does? Sometimes it is just the fact that something is known to be coming that builds anticipation – [...]
Classic RPG ‘Betrayal at Krondor’ Available for $5.99 on Good Old Games
There are game franchises whose names are well known to just about every gamer – Doom, Final Fantasy, etc – but there are others whose influence over the industry and standing among older gamers outweighs their familiarity. Betrayal At Krondor is such a game – and now it is available in a Windows XP / [...]
Cool Mashup – ‘What a Wonderful World’ Meets Death Metal
Image courtesy of Wilson-Benesch I have been a huge fan of Louis Armstrong for decades, even having ‘What a Wonderful World’ as the dance I did with my mother at my wedding. The song was a huge hit for Satchmo at the end of his legendary career, and was re-released upon his death in 1972, [...]
Herb Ellis, An Accessible Jazz Guitar Great, Dead at 88
Image courtesy of Wikipedia Think back to the first time you met a ‘big celebrity’ – not a sighting in a massive crowd, or perhaps getting an autograph scrawled on whatever you could grab, but when you had some actual human contact with someone considered a legend in their field; contact in the form of [...]

Well, chicBuds wants you to fight back with their new DJ Sports Headphones, available in two very non-pastel colors: [...]

It’s HERE!. Oh wait, it’s not. OMG the iPhone is coming to Verizon! Uhm, oops, it’s not. Again and again and again this is what we have been hearing since shortly after the iPhone was first introduced. Every few months there is a small rumor about the iPhone coming to Verizon and then BAM! It [...]
GearDeal- HP ENVY 15 Core i5 For Under a Grand!
The people I have talked to who have and use the HP Envy love it. They love the sleek design. They love the power. They love the gorgeous screen. They love the fact that it is the “world’s thinnest quad-core notebook”. And if they did not have one already they would love the fact that [...]
