One of the things it’s important to remember is the fact that wireless networking connections (especially public WiFi) are inherently insecure, which means it’s pretty easy for people with a bit of tech skill to tap into your connection and spy on your stuff. The golden rule is never do anything on public WiFi that’s super sensitive (like banking etc), just in case. But there are ways to reduced the risks. There are tools out there [...]

The internet is currently in love with a goofy horror short of a giant spider [warning: not for very young eyes] that traps people in its web. Spoiler alert, it's not a spider. Or even bad CGI. It's a dog in a spider costume. Up close it's adorable but I suppose if you saw it running at you in the middle of the night in an empty subway you would probably freak [...]

This always happens. I look at my phone and it's at some ridiculously low battery level. Then I look at the clock and realize I don't have time to charge it before I have to run off and do some highly important task. I either leave with a dying phone or see what I can get from five minutes plugged in. The Legion Meter plans to put a stop to this. The Legion [...]

Isn't it nice to wake up on Sunday morning? Sunlight flittering through your shades. Maybe a little bird song playing outside the window, and the little elves cleaning your ball gown. A nice gentle welcome to the day ahead. Unfortunately, most of us wake up to beeping, buzzing, or a song picked for its abrasive qualities. The Philips HF3500/60 Wake-Up Light is a better way to greet the day. The Wake-Up Light is [...]

The format has changed in the intervening period, no longer a round ball, now the new Ollie is more like a rectangular roller shape, with some interesting twists.

To say that trying to divert an open standard to a [...]

Oh it may not look like much right now, but pretty soon you’re going to start seeing properly clothed versions of these…ahem…puppies scooting around town behind their owners, no question.

Shaped uncannily like a big cat, this critter [...]
