Hard Drive, Review 0

The G-Drive Slim is designed for the MacBook Air, but is compatible with any Mac running Mac OS 10.5 or higher. The matte aluminum finish looks stylish and keeps fingerprints away. A very nice feature of the G-Drive Slim is that it’s already formatted for Time Machine; one less thing to do when preparing for backup.

Jacket for iPad – Review

iPad, Laptop Case, Review 1

The one thing that everyone immediately notices is that you cannot just stick your iPad in your pocket as you can with your iPhone or cellphone and go. You either need to place your iPad in a case or into a bag to transport it around. Besides, why offer you and your iPad up as possible targets for those who would love to get their hands on your iPad… free of charge, of course.

I decided to go with the Commuter series case for the iPad, wanting to protect my iPad but I didn’t really want to totally encase it. The Commuter is designed to be stylish yet protect your iPad from the everyday clumsiness that befall all of us.

Eco-Envi + for iPad – Review

Cases, iPad, Review 0

The design of the Eco-Envi + is simple yet extremely stylish and professional in appearance. As you can see by the photos, the case looks exactly like a portfolio previously used to carry paper and pen to a business meeting. However, the look on people’s faces when you open up the case and take out an iPad is interesting in that they weren’t expecting to see that happen.

Apps, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Review 3

I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the electric guitar. So, two years ago at the young age of thirty eight I finally decided to give it a try. Mid-life crisis you ask? Maybe, but I’m having a blast! Anyone else who’s worked hard at learning one of their favorite tunes knows the thrill felt when you finally hit that power chord riff or solo perfectly.

iPhone, Review 1

Just in case you live somewhere in the US where the law concerning the use of cell phones while operating a motor vehicle hasn’t been changed yet, you can expect that the days of holding your cell phone while you’re driving are probably going to be coming to an end soon. Between the push of concerned groups and the studies documenting the incidences of serious injuries and death because the driver was busy on the phone and not really paying attention to what they were doing, mainly driving a car, states and localities are requiring the use of hands-free devices for use when driving a car.
