Why I am not buying an iPad…yet
Well, the metaphorical dust has finally settled on Apple’s announcement of an iPad device and I think I want to comment on why it was a general disappointment to me. Being the Apple fanboy that I am, you’d think the next logical step for me would be to purchase the new iPad. Here are several [...]
Tablets released at CES 2010 do not thrill – will Apple’s?
Ok, so Apple is conspicuously absent from CES once again but this time they may have a reason. Leading up to Apple’s event on January 27th where an Apple tablet (the “iSlate”, I don’t think that will be the name) is rumored to be released, why show up at CES when all they will do [...]
Loop Pointer in-air mouse review
As we all know, sometimes looks can be deceiving. When I received the Loop Pointer from Hillcrest Labs, the plastic, molded packaging was nondescript, more akin to something off the rack at a big box retailer. Once opened, the Loop Pointer remote began to strut its own stuff and displayed the qualities which made it [...]
GlideTV Navigator review

Such was my motivation for obtaining the fairly new GlideTV Navigator remote for review [...]
Boxee Beta revealed and the software looks impressive
..but unfortunately I can’t say the same thing about the Hardware device (see photo 1 below). Boxee inked a deal with D-Link and they will produce the device which is due to be released in the 1st Quarter of 2010. Can you say “ugly”? How do they intend for it to fit into a normal [...]
Reviews forthcoming for two remote control solutions
I hope everybody had a wonderful holiday (here in the U.S. at least) for Thanksgiving and were able to snag a few items during the Black Friday sales rush. I did not do much shopping but I did receive a nice surprise when a GlideTV Navigator landed on my doorstep this week. In fact, [...]
Apple to feature Black Friday online shopping event
It appears Apple’s online store will join the Thanksgiving Holiday shopping frenzy by having a sale on Black Friday, November 27th. I am guessing that the deals will not be super-stellar but it might be worth checking out if you are in the market for an iPod or a new MacBook. You can find additional [...]
HT Guys interview with Plex Lead Developer Elan Feingold
In addition to their normal bi-weekly podcast, Ara of the HT Guys podcast interviews the Lead Developer of Plex, Elan Feingold, for all you Plex fans out there (myself included). In the 20 minute interview, Ara and Elan discuss such Plex-related items as the slick Fan Art which accompanies movies as backgrounds, the fact that [...]
Plex 0.8.3 release fixes many Snow Leopard issues
As noted by some commenters on my site, the upgrade to Snow Leopard on mac mini has affected the performance of the Plex media center software. Yesterday, the Plex developers released a new version which attempts to correct many of those issues and offers some of the following new features (pulled from the Plex site):
Three [...]
Why the Mac mini server makes sense for small businesses
With Tuesday’s announcement of a new Mac mini with upgraded specs and pre-installed Snow Leopard Server operating system, Apple has acknowledged what we all know – good things come in small packages! Furthermore, the “little box that could” becomes a prime server choice for small businesses everywhere because of the following reasons:
1) Their size is [...]
