Gerber Apocalypse Kit 2

Gerber Apocalypse Kit

Posted on

After watching another episode of the Walking Dead, I found this fantastic tool kit from Gerber which is actually featured on the show.  Capitalizing on the potential Zombie Apocalypse that might come (I love the book World War Z!), this kit gives you, among other things a Machete, Axe, Parang, and knife - all in a cool tool kit that folds up to carry around.  As...

HTC One X

HTC One X

Posted on

HTC has gone very quiet in the past months as its last few handsets have been disappointing.  Samsung has swept all the momentum away and has emerged as the leader in the Android space.  But don't count out HTC yet.  HTC announced the HTC One X at the MWC recently and it looks impressive.  A quad-core engine, Android 4.0 plus a new Sense UI,...

Logitech M600 Touch Mouse

Posted on

After being envious of the Apple Magic Mouse, and quiet honestly, getting used to using it, it's nice to finally see that there is finally a product for the PC world.  The Logitech M600 Touch Mouse follows much of the same functionality that the Magic Mouse offers, namely finger scrolling on its surface.  It also comes in a pretty sweet black finish.  After being...

Sony S Tablet

Sony Tablet S-Series Review

Posted on

When Sony finally announced that they were launching their tablet, I had high hopes.  Although the specs didn’t exactly blow me out of the water, I thought that Sony releasing a tablet had to be a pretty good product.  So I bought one. Form The S tablet (aside: I think Sony could have thought of a better name than just a letter)...

BlackBerry Porsche

Blackberry Porsche P9981

Posted on

I just saw the Blackberry Porsche P9981 in person and I must say it is really good looking. Blackberry’s are actually quite boring devices, but the Porsche design P9981 adds a level of sophistication, coolness and just outright class to the device. Unfortunately, all that good looks comes at a hefty US$2000 price. Many of us get our Blackberry from our work so its...

Sony Digital Binoculars DEV-5

Sony Digital Recording Binoculars DEV-5 (w/ 3D)

Posted on

Sony introduced a pair of digital recording binoculars.  Not only were these digital, but they were capable of recording the image and doing it in 3D.  I love binoculars and even better, these high tech ones sounded like a fantastic marriage of good glass and digital technology.  So I was pretty keen to try one out.  I was by a Sony store recently and...

Nokton 17.5mm 0.95 lens

Posted on

I’m a huge fan of the Micro Four-Thirds format and I’m glad that its getting more widely accepted.  I love my Lumix GX1 and I like having more options for lenses.  I’m super happy that Panasonic has teamed up with Leica and I was really happy to buy the 25mm Lumix-Leica Summilux.  I love large aperture lenses.  Nokton has quite a number of large...

3D

I love 3D!

Posted on

I love 3D! I am obsessed with all things 3D, though I seem to be in the minority in that regard.  I have had a 3D TV and I really enjoy it.  I might be one of the few that does so (no one else I know has one) but 3D is just fun.  3D PS3 games, 3D bluray movies, and best of all, having seen...

Nikon D800

After more than a 3 year wait, we finally have an update from Nikon of the D700 with the newly launched D800.  As part of Team Nikon, I have been waiting for this Full Frame monster.  A 36.3 megapixel, Full Frame, 1080p video, the list goes on – I’m in!  Of course, I couldn’t wait and bought the D7000 just a little over a...

Ainol Novo 7 Elf – Android 4.0 Tablet for under US$100

Posted on

Despite the somewhat dubious name, Ainol is a Chinese company that produces a number of media players.  I bought one a few years ago to use in while travelling before the iPad came along.  Ainol has moved into the tablet world with a bunch of Android tablets built off their media players.  The amazing thing is that one of their newest products, the Novo...
