You love your pet fish, but you can only tolerate so much time hanging around their bowl. Spending more time than a few minutes watching their mouths gape open and shut and feeding them is about all the interaction they get. Quite honestly, it’s about all the time you should spend there, lest people think you are starting to go mad.

If you’re looking for a good way to stream your music to a nice pair of speakers, Griffin might have just what you’re looking for.

How long does your phone stay charged? Depending on how I use it, I can get through a couple of days without having to plug mine in. Even if I just leave it on standby and don’t make calls or check emails, it’s likely not going to last more than a week. This isn’t an issue when you have access to power outlets on a regular basis, however, you run into problems if you don’t have this luxury. Wouldn’t it…

If you head to NoiseTrade,…

Getting up in the morning isn’t always an easy thing to do. It’s even worse if you sleep with someone else who has to be up several hours before you, as you get woken up by their alarm, and have to waste time trying to get back to sleep. Well a project over at Quirky might be just the solution you need. Chirp is an alarm clock that was designed to only wake a single person. This is done using…

Modern technology is great, as we’re now able to store larger amounts of data on smaller chips. looking back at the floppy disks I used to use, amazes me how little they hold in comparison to modern flash drives and memory cards. Unfortunately there is another issue that arises when you keep shrinking down memory cards. Take microSD cards, for example. These little guys measure just 15mm x 11mm, which is about the size of a fingernail. While it’s great…

With the year 2015 growing steadily closer, many important questions are being asked. Some of my favorites include �where are my flying cars?� and �where is my hoverboard?� I’d like to know the answers to these as well, and part of me is hoping that these technologies are being worked on in secret laboratories, and that they’ll be sprung on us sometime in the next few years. However, as it stands, there are few ways that you’re going to acquire…

When you’re giving an important presentation, you want to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. One of the keys to doing this is to ensure that no one is paying attention to the technology that you’re using, and instead focusing on the content. If you’re constantly having to fumble with a laptop to change slides, then you’ll lose your momentum, and things won’t go quite as smooth as you’d hoped. Logitech thinks that they have exactly what you…

When you’re uploading a picture to your website, or sending it to someone via email, you generally want the file to be as small as possible. After all, the larger it is, the longer it takes to load. What’s interesting is that reducing the size of a picture won’t necessarily reduce the quality. And when I say �reduce the size� I don’t mean that you’re changing the dimensions of an image, but rather how much space it’s taking up on…

How many times have you looked at your car and thought �man, I wish I could put it inside a bubble.�? Odds are that this doesn’t come to mind very often. However, if you have a very old and rare car that you’ve restored, you might want to do everything you can to protect it from the elements, especially if you live in an area that’s more prone to making a car rust. Well if your dream has been to…

Read MoreSmartphones, laptops and tablets have helped cut back on the use of paper – for reminder notes (unless you’re addicted to those sticky Post It’s), lists and even newspapers and magazines.
