The giant tank that has been holding your own personal ocean of fish is getting kind of old, and you were hoping to get something new. It’s always hard to find that perfect tank, and especially to find one that is going to give your fishies enough space to swim around without taking up an entire counter. If you want something newer and stylish, why not go for one that can also double as a coffee table? The Coffee Table…

Read MoreWhen you set out to buy a new printer, you really have two options: Inkjet and laser. Or at least that used to be the case, anyway.

We covered this new technology in the past, but it’s always been something that’s �coming soon.� Well no more, Memjet printers are finally starting to hit store shelves, and they’re going to change the world of printers forever.

At some point, the computer you’re using will become outdated, and you’ll find it necessary to upgrade it to a newer, faster one. Such is the way of life in the PC world. When you do get that shiny new desktop, you may decide to give away or sell your retired machine. If so, there is something that you should always do: Reformat the hard drive. However, if you have sensitive information, such as tax records and bank statements stored…

When in the kitchen, your two main functions are to eat and cook food. If you want to eat the food, you must first cook it, which requires a lot of random ingredients. Oftentimes you may want to pull out your iPad to check the recipie for said food items. The only problem with this is that your fancy technology may quickly become covered in your ingredients as well. Instead of buying a stand, or putting it in a Ziploc…

Living in the world today with a terrible economy, it only makes sense that we would try to cut down on costs at every turn we can find. Electricity is a big money drain, and solar-power is seeing a pretty big rise because of it. The Electree Solar Bonsai is a good way to charge your electronics, and look good in doing so. Bonsai trees are beautiful, but require a heaping amount of time to be cared for properly. That’s…

I love my Google Voice number, as it gives me a lot more control over who can reach me on the phone. Unfortunately there are instances where I hate even giving that out, as I don’t want some people being able to contact me in the future. For those instances, there is an awesome free app called RingShuffle. Install RingShuffle on your iPhone (sorry, no Android version right now) and create an account. This consists of entering your phone number,…

Riding a bicycle is a fun way to spend an afternoon. However, if you rely on your bicycle to transport you around town, you know the trials and tribulations that come with it. Keeping up with traffic, watching out for cars that seem to appear out of nowhere, and the ever-annoying twisting around to see what’s behind you if you’re trying to turn. Cars have rear view mirrors, and all of us poor cyclists have to hope that we don’t…

How many watches have you seen whose face used to be part of a circuit board? Well now you can at least say that you’ve seen two. The Click Watch has all the glory and honor of a 1980s circuit board. Its time is shown digitally, surrounded by an engraved faceplate with color options such as black, blue, green, and red. The two aforementioned models are the DIP Switch and the Turn Switch, each named after the types of switches…

Have you ever wondered just how much bandwidth you use on a monthly basis? If you don’t do a lot of downloading or streaming, then it really shouldn’t be much of a concern. However, if you’ve got two devices in the house that seem to be always streaming Netflix to them, along with downloading games from Steam to different computers, you might get concerned about it. If your ISP doesn’t offer some sort of way to check your monthly bandwidth…

There are some items we buy on a whim just because we think they look cool. If you need extra USB ports, and have a love for robots, then the Roboto USB Hub is the one for you. It costs $24, which is a little expensive for a hub, but it does look like a really cool robot that is ready to take over the world (or a dance party). It’s almost too bad that he doesn’t make noise when…

There are all sorts of different charging stations out there. The only problem being that there never seems to be a station that can charge all of your devices at once. Seeing that we all seem to want to collect every piece of technology we come by, it only makes sense that we buy a charging station that will accommodate them all. The Fuse PowerSlice has a pie design that is an excellent way to cater to a lover of…

If you own a laptop, the day will inevitably come when it stops holding a charge. This is always disappointing, because you then have to decide whether you want to dump the money into a new battery, or simply be content to keep it plugged into the wall all the time. Whichever you decide, you generally won’t be needing that old battery again, but don’t throw it out. What you may not know is that some of the cells may…

When we were kids, there were a lot of ways to keep ourselves entertained. Sure, video games were great, but if your parents were anything like mine, they didn’t want you spending endless hours in front of the TV. Thus, it meant a lot of time was spent using our imagination to create our own fun. LEGOs were cool for building things, but on the occasion when large cardboard boxes were in the house, great fun was always had. Well…
