Filed under: Accessories , Peripherals , Video We just stayed at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas for a week, and found that the guest rooms are more than Mac friendly. In each room, built right into the wall, is a system from Teledapt that allows you to plug in just about anything and have it show up on the in-room 42″ plasma screen. As long...
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Features , iPhone , Holidays , iPod touch , App Review We’re about to hit the big holiday travel peak, and it’s a great time to survey what we’ve seen this year for iPhone GPS apps.

Now this is a machine that I just had to report about. A company known as Oriental (yes, it is an Asian company) has created a machine that is very appropriate for offices called the White Goat. Yes, I would have gave it a nicer name, but honestly, White Goat is probably the most descriptive name for a machine that can turn shredded paper into...

Hammacher has yet again come out with another way to give you security at home, but in a more subtle and affordable way. It’s probably better suited for a vacation home or to leave out while you’re away on vacation. Either way you choose though, this phone will blend in quite easily. It’d probably blend in far easier in...
Apple and Microsoft are reportedly in discussions to replace Google with Bing as the default search engine on the iPhone and iPod touch. According to unnamed sources close to the negotiations, the two companies have been talking for weeks.

Filed under: iPhone , iPod touch , App Review I am a huge movie fan and have been a customer of Netflix since they opened for business. I would say that I average over 200 movies a year delivered to me in red envelopes, so I was quite excited when ezMoviePick $0.99US [ iTunes Link ] was released. This app, which works with any iPhone or iPod touch...
