When iPads were first introduced by Apple I bought an original iPad and then later moved to an iPad 2. At the time, the thought of using an external keyboard to enter information into an iPad, was a novel idea. Back then, I got my hands on a pre-release keyboard case from a company called Kensington. It was a wonderful concept at the time and since that first case the good folks at Kensington have continued to refine their Folio line of keyboard cases for iPads.

I don’t know who came up with the idea that basic health requires eight hours of sleep. The only time I slept that many hours in recent years I was recovering from surgery in a hospital and taking prescription opiates. But on a recent morning, after using Sound+Sleep Mini, I woke up and realized I’d been asleep for over ten hours. I was so surprised I wanted to get on the phone and call everybody I know.

Gaz is more than happy to let Guy be the guinea pig for the new AppleTV but as it turns out Guy really likes it. Not as much as SOME people (ahem Karl ahem), but it does a lot of what was expected and then some. Is it perfect? Nope, lot’s of room for improvement, but after some updates this could be the device that most people would want. Guy also gets a new cat and is still waiting impatiently for the iPad Pro.

I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, when the album, or LP, was the physical musical format. During those years, and beyond, I accumulated hundreds of albums and 45s, which are smaller versions of albums, usually containing one song on either side and played at a faster speed.

It’s ALL about the AppleTV and where content viewership is heading. The GMen don’t really agree and it probably stems from having two very different viewpoints on just what TV really means being Gaz is from the UK and Guy is from the US.

The Audio-Technica ATH-CKR10 are, as claimed by Audio-Technica, the first dual phase push-pull drivers. Push-pull dual drivers are a common used speaker configuration to achieve reduction in harmonic distortion. This reduction in distortion helps provide a more accurate, pure sound as the drivers are “self-correcting” each other. Prior to writing this review I was unaware of push-pull drivers and their intended effect, and now I agree that ATH-CKR10 do achieve this effect very well.

All mice are not created equal. Some are flimsy, some don’t track very well, and others require a dongle in one of your USB ports. Then there are those made of such cheap plastic that one swat of your cat’s tail and mousey commits suicide on your office floor. The hinge on my last mouse’s battery compartment fell apart and I got tired of holding the batteries in place with tape.
