1 Comment / Audio/Video, Home Theater, Computers, Gizmo of the Day / By /

Elegato’s EyeTV for Mac allows you to watch and record TV broadcast via standard signals onto your Mac. The signal accepted by the adaptors varies as there are a few different types to meet your needs. While the devices are priced between $100 and $200 depending on the version, it does mean that you don’t have to buy a separate TV for that room and so you can save yourself some dollars.

We’ll have a brief look at the different versions here.

We take the top ones including the Amazon.com Kindle (and Kindle DX), Barnes & Noble NOOK (and NOOKcolor), Sony Readers, Borders’ Kobo and of course the Apple iPad, and compare them head-to-head. …

Bits Limited Charging Station LPG3

Review: Bits Limited’ Charging Station automatically shuts off when devices are fully charged

Computers, Gizmo of the Day, Home Automation, Reviews / By /

Bits Limited Charging Station LPG3A few years ago, we featured the SmartStrip LCG3 from Bits Limited, a 10 outlet unit that detects whether or not you have something plugged is on or off and stops drawing power accordingly, thus reducing the ‘vampire load’.

Fast-forward to today. Bits Ltd sent us one of their latest products – the 10-outlet Charging Station (model LPG3E), which as the name suggests is geared to plugging in chargers. As we’re suckers for green, eco-conscious, power-saving gadgets, we had to accept.
I took this unit for a spin and found a lot to like.

Setup

There is some minor setup that involves calibrating the device based on the chargers that you have plugged in, but that took less than 5 minutes.

AirStash Wireless Flash Drive makes File Sharing easy

Gizmo of the Day, Networking & Internet, Portable / By /

AirStash Wireless Flash DriveThought you’d just about got USB flash drives all worked out? Sorry guys, they were so0o last year.

The new standard for portable media transfer will soon become wireless, with AirStash leading the way. However, this isn’t just a device to take files around on and distribute between computers, it’s so much more.

The AirStash is a mini media server and Wi-Fi access point meaning that any device with Wi-Fi capabilities can access the files on it through a Wi-Fi connection that it creates (that’s right, you don’t even need to be on a network to use it!).

Deck the Halls with Cell Phones and iPods?

1 Comment / Holidays, Miscellaneous / By /

iPod Christmas Ornament Walking through my local Target the other day, my husband, my daughter and I decided to meander through the Christmas area that is tucked away in the back corner of the store. It is seriously hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that Christmas is less than two months away.

My daughter and I slowly looked through the rows of sparkling glass ornaments. She is four years old and completely giddy with excitement that Santa’s visit is just weeks away. There were the typical snowmen, reindeer and Santa Clauses lining the walls. Then we looked through the assortment of Doras, Spongebobs and Disney princesses. And then out of the corner of my eye, I spotted some cell phone and iPod glass ornaments. I let out a little chuckle because this certainly demonstrates how tech-focused our society really is today.

Cellphone Christmas Ornament I didn’t purchase the cell phone or iPod ornament for my tree that day. Though, I think I will go back and buy them now. Every year, my tree is filled with ornaments that reflect the personalities, hobbies and memories of my family. And I live in a house of gizmo nuts. My husband and my daughter argue over who gets to use the one iPad. So, I think my tree should reflect that gizmo-mania. Don’t you?

So, deck the halls with cell phones and iPods? Sure. Why not? I’ll just stick the cellphone ornament next to the one of Princess Leia in the gold bikini. And let me just tell you, the Princess Leia one doesn’t belong to my daughter.

VHS to DVD 5.0 DeluxeHonestech has recently released version 5 of their VHS to DVD conversion solution. We reviewed v3.0 and found a high quality product. Version 5 improves on it in a number of ways.
