So did you hear about the March Apple event? No? Probably because nothing has been announced yet. That didn’t stop the GMen from talking about it though with talk about Apple Watches, Mini iPad Pros, and a 4-inch iPhone that will most definitely be called…something.

About a year ago I decided I was done with in-ear headphones. I’d tried at least 20 products in recent years and was never fully satisfied until I plugged a pair of these remarkable 1More headphones into my ears. I listened to pop, classical, ragtime. opera, folk. You name it, I added it to the mix. I was so impressed I found it hard to believe the company is selling them for $80 for two. It’s a great value.

My first impressions of the sound of the 1More Over-Ear MK801 headphone (MK801 hereafter) are based on direct comparisons to other headphones, particularly those that resemble its design (portables mostly), but also to a few premium headphones for reference. I’ll describe how I relate to the MK801 (i.e., my personal tastes and how I use the headphone) after covering all of the objective issues.

So Apple is in a bit of a pickle these days. Seems everyone from the UK to New York to California wants them to create a way to break into iOS devices without the owner’s password. They want it SO bad they’re actually willing to quote an obscure 200+ year old law to do so. Because you know, the founding fathers were TOTALLY into smart phones.

Back in 2011 I reviewed the Wacom Inkling. The Inkling was a pen and a clip which when used together digitized anything you wrote with the pen. To transfer the images to your computer you would sync the device with an app on said computer. Recently, Wacom released a very similar product called the Bamboo Spark. The Spark, like the Inkling, works with a specialized pen, that when used with the Spark portfolio, will digitize your drawings or writing. However, this time it uses an iOS or Android app for the transfer. How does it work? Read on.

Are there more stupid people these days? It seems the choices are:
1. Yes
2. The internet is better at finding them
3. Some people are so driven to be famous that they’ll do stupid things to be noticed.
And yes, the irony is not lost on the GMen. What isn’t stupid is signing for the Macstock Conference and Expo. So do that.

When I first opened the box with the Tenba Cooper 13 DSLR inside, I knew I was in for something special. The bag itself came wrapped inside another bag! Very classy. Once I removed the Cooper and felt its fabric between my fingers, my first thought was this is going to be a great case to carry around. It’s a handsome slate grey on the outside, lined with a nylon interior. I’d consider the Cooper a messenger-style bag, and it also looks like a typical day-to-day bag.

I chose to review the white non unibody 13″ MacBook battery, because I had a suitable MacBook, now used by my daughter, in need of a replacement battery. I am confident that what applies to the battery I reviewed will apply across the board to all of their other batteries. I admit that I have, in the past, purchased a cheap, no brand, pattern part, battery for a similar MacBook on the basis of price. That turned out to not be a great investment. I will make occasional comparisons along the way between my experience with this NuPower battery and the cheap copy where I think it seems appropriate.

This is actually my second attempt at writing this review. I usually don’t have a problem writing any review, especially for a product like the Kindle Fire that I think is a good product at a good price. The problem with this review, however, extends beyond the product itself. But first, let’s talk about the product up for review.
