MyMac Podcast 629: Distinctly Disappointed

#Podcasts, MyMac Podcast 0

What if they had an Apple event and nobody liked it? Well that’s not fair as there were claps aplenty during the event and even the Men are split over whether or not it was a decent event. Gaz thought it was fine, but Guy was not a happy bunny. Somehow or another even Steve Jobs chimes in…sure he did.

Audio, Battery, Bluetooth, Earphones, Headphones, Headset, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Macintosh, Microphone, Music, Review, Speakers, Wireless 0

Optima NuForce BE6i arrived with a boat-load of earpieces including two with sound deadening memory foam and two small wings that help hold the earphones in place. As with most in-ear headphones, a key factor in comfort and sound quality is the earpiece fit, and these have seven styles to chose from.

MyMac Podcast 628: Completely Unannounced Car Cancelled

#Podcasts, MyMac Podcast 0

What do you call rumors of a project never announced or confirmed being unofficially cancelled? A funny topic to be thoroughly explored (revoked and denied) by the GMen.

However it isn’t confirmed and the GMen hate rumors…usually

Lifecharge Lighthouse External Backup Power Pack – Review

Battery, Battery Packs, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Review 0

The Lifecharge Lighthouse is a portable power supply that can recharge two devices at once. Its 13000 mAh battery can completely recharge an iPad that is down to zero, or an iPhone several times. I recently used it in a cabin in an isolated mountain range. My iPad went from zero to fully charged in roughly six hours and the battery pack still had power left over.

Micflip Fully Reversible Micro USB Cable – Review

Adapter, Review 0

I no longer carry an iPhone. After working with one of the creators of Android, I was convinced to try an Xperia Z3, an amazing phone by Sony. Yes, it is Android, but it has so many advanced features (like a 21 Megapixel camera), I couldn’t say no. But there are still things about the iPhone I miss, and one thing especially is the power cable with Lightning connector. There is something to be said for a connector that can be easily and quickly plugged into the phone without having to look and rotate the connector to the proper orientation. This is especially nice in low light or while driving.
