Over the last few years I’ve followed and backed my share of Kickstarter programs. Some turned out to be real duds, but other were programs that had some great ideas and turned out to be real winners. I found one I think will be a winner, Zendock from Zenboxx. Zendock is a small, simple, but [...]

Over the years I’ve reviewed the Fujitsu S1100 ScanSnap and the S1300 ScanSnap scanners. I loved them when I reviewed them and I still use them and love them to this day. But for some reason, I’ve never taken the leap and went totally paperless. Even with all the benefits of the S1100, and S1300, [...]

I have found that our Mac Community can sometimes overlook other solid technology in favor of our solid Apple technology. Case in point, the Apple iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy smart phone. We all love our iPhones, but the Samsung Galaxy smartphone made many heads turn of late and with good reason. For that reason, [...]

I love the TiVo Premier that I have on the HDTV in my living room. I can control recording via my iPhone or iPad apps and it has a great interface compared to my local cable company DVR. Owning a TiVo Premier just got a little sweeter. Now you can take your shows anywhere you [...]

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more and more enamored with man bags, or as they are so fondly called, murses. (A cross between man and purse). Why this infatuation of late? All I can tell you is between carrying my iPad and all my fountain pens and paper notebooks around with me, back and [...]

When I purchased my new iPad last week I was wondering if the iPad warranty from Apple was the best choice, or if a third party company such as SquareTrade might be the best route to take. So I contacted Vince Tseng from SquareTrade and asked him a few questions. I’ll let you make your [...]
