iPazzport Fly/Air Mouse Keyboard – Review
Despite its unconventional name and odd concept, this Air Mouse actually works. Plug the included USB dongle into your Mac (or Windows, Android, Linux machine), turn it on, and your cursor moves around the screen following the movement of your hand courtesy of the built-in “3 axial Gyro-sensor.”

You’re not Nuts – MyMac Podcast #405
More (and I promise the last) talk about the VW Bug and how it indirectly made Guy sick. The GMen start a little later than usual because of the meeting from heck that Gaz had to attend to first, and his monitors are driving him crazy. Some great feedback from our listeners and someone who was supposed to be here wasn’t. Gaz thinks it’s his fault though. He makes up for it with some great new Finder tips including one that floats that Guy thinks is cool and makes him think of Tim Curry for some odd reason.

Portable Stereo Gaming Speakers – Review
This little pair of rechargeable speakers produces reasonable sound quality considering their diminutive size. The pair of 40mm neodymium driver speakers (about an inch and a half across) are in cases that are a little less than 3 inches in diameter. You can’t really expect room-filling, quality sound from speakers of this size.

Traveling with Toddlers in the Back Seat This Summer? You Want This App!
Recently, my family and I took a road trip to an area amusement park that is about 90 minutes away from our house. My son was in the backseat with my iPad connected to the headrest in front of him. This setup worked great until the show he was watching ended. Then came the blind tapping to figure out how to get a new show playing for him. He can’t reach the headrest from his carseat and can’t read to find what he wants.We figured it out, but wouldn’t it be great if the iPad video player could be controlled from the front seat with an iPhone or iPod Touch? Even better,is this possible without jailbreaking?

Old School Tech
When we talk about tech on this site it’s usually of a relatively recent vintage. Certainly few people want to read about computers from 30 to 50 years ago and that’s understandable. Life is short and we want our tech to be sleek and fast and able to slice through a Photoshopped image with 20 filters in less time than it took for me to write this sentence. There is one kind of tech that many of us will stop and admire no matter how much out of date it is. Even more than the space program, techies love old cars.

Wacom Bamboo Stylus Duo – Review
The Wacom Bamboo Stylus Duo combines two products in one and is such a simple concept that you wonder why more companies aren’t doing it. It is just as the name implies. One side is a rubber stylus for the iPad and the other side is a ball point pen. Why carry a stylus and a pen when you can just carry both in one tool?
