I’m not sure if you remember the motivation behind my SpyCamera (SpyFinder?) story. Anyway, I recommended that same company to a friend of mine who was convinced that her boyfriend was cheating on her and wanted confirmation. They ended up recommending quite a few products to her and she chose a combination of them. I figured I’d post my favorites as a sort of guide  …

Love Google’s Desktop Gadgets? If you haven’t tried them out, you should! Their kind of like Google’s alternative to Yahoo’s Widgets. Anyway, how about getting paid $5,000 to design one of your own? That is right, create a submission for their contest and you can win big. Can there be a better way to spend your summer than with Google?
The contest runs until July 31st, …

This is totally our kind of arts and crafts project.

and pull publicly shared images from your Flickr account into your presentation.
Zoho Show is also compatible with our favorite browser, Firefox. It almost seems to
good to be true… (Thanks, …

A while
back we posted about the hip AEVOE’s PockiT digital camera cases. AEVOE sent us
over a few samples and we’re totally loving these cases. I’m currently using a
Sony DSC-T9 camera, and while it’s a great ultracompact camera, its large LCD
screen can be prone to scruffs and scratches.
Fortunately the PockiT case has
come to the rescue. The case is made out of combination of a leather and …

Practically everytime I sit down at someone’s computer I notice how bloated their system is from Spyware. The average consumer assumes that anti-virus protection is enough to keep them safe, but it’s not. Using 1 or even 2 good spyware programs to routinely scan your system is the ideal way to keep your system clean and running fast. It’s also important to be savvy enough …

With all the current security hype, all types of security
that is: computer, homeland, home and etc., I’m continuingly gravitating
towards security type gadgets. Ugh, I hate when I buy into media hype. Anyway,
a couple of weeks ago I came across a reliable looking security site, found here, and contemplated buying the SpyFinder Hidden Camera
Detector. Why? Well, before you ship me off to the loony bin, let …

There is no questioning the fact that the Mac Mini has a superior design
compared to the Hi-Grade MicroDMS P60. But for such a tiny PC, this one isn’t
too shabby looking. The P60 sports a Core duo processor, 512mb of ram, an 80GB
hard drive, a DVD burner, integrated graphics, Wi-Fi, and Windows Media Center
comes pre-installed. Sounds very familiar right? So is there a chance of it
one-upping …

The Xacti vpc-c6 is about the size of an average cell phone, comes in three colors including red, gold, and black, and it actually captures decent footage for something so diminiutively …
