The WowWee Roboscooper Wants Wall-E’s Job
Show me a person who could watch the Pixar movie Wall-E without getting a little bit misty, and I’ll show you a person with a heart of stone.

UpStand iPad Stand Looks OutStanding
The iPad is a runaway hit. We all know that. We use it at our desks. We use it in the kitchen. We use it in the living room. We use it everywhere. And it’s lack of a built-in stand is, at times, a pain. Let’s face it, you don’t want, or can’t, always hold [...]
Giveaway Winner- The Speck PixelSkin for iPhone 4
Speck’s PixelSkin for iPhone 4 may add a bit of bulk to the iPhone 4’s sleek thin design, but in the process it offers great protection to the back, sides, top and bottom of the phone. It offers such good protection that it is the case I am using when I do my C25K runs. [...]
iPhone 4 Accessory Video Review: SGP Skin Guard
Many of us like to keep our iPhones as sleek as possible. I personally prefer to use my iPhone 4 naked. But I also know that it’s just not practical to do so. I want to keep my iPhone looking as new as possible not only because I enjoy looking at “minty-fresh” gadgets but I [...]
Review: Barnes and Noble Nook Wifi Edition
Barnes and Noble’s nook has been out for some time, but it hasn’t stopped making waves since its debut!

iPad Accessory Review- The Padster Original for iPad
My iPad is with me pretty much all the time these days. It’s rare for me to carry my MacBook Pro out and about anymore since I can accomplish pretty much everything that I need to on a device that weighs a pound and a half and runs for up to 10 hours or so [...]
Looking for a Combat-Centric Dragon Age DLC? “The Golems of Amgarrak” is for YOU!
In my review of Leliana’s Song I noted that the focus was on story and characters and that the combat wasn’t overly challenging. Or even particularly memorable. As though anticipating that very reaction, Bioware has announced that their next DLC will be combat-centric, meant for higher-level players and brutally difficult. The folks over at the [...]
PC/XBOX360 Game Review: Dragon Age: Origins Leliana’s Song DLC
Last month I reviewed the Darkspawn Chronicles DLC, saying that even at “$5 in Microsoft Points … it has questionable value.” I found it “a single-minded module that lasts about an hour, adds a single new item to the main game, and offers little replayability” … and was really just an average add-on in general. [...]
