Whenever you have a little bit of free time, you might find yourself playing a mobile game. There’s nothing wrong with this of course (assuming you’re getting all of your other work done), but there is a very specific way to play these type of games. Most of the time, you have to have at least two fingers on the screen to control a characters movements, and be able to attack.

Turning on and off the lights in your house is not an exciting ordeal. One direction gives you light, the other takes it away. Oftentimes we view it as an annoyance as it is far away from the spot we have nested in before drifting off to sleep, or is located in an odd part of the room.

Having had some experience with the making and drinking of coffee, I can assure you that there are several ways to prepare this kind of drink. Each method has its own rhyme and reason, and is utilized based on the user’s preferences. We’ve taken a look at some fancy espresso machines in the past, but regular coffee is a whole other ordeal.

There are few things more frustrating than arriving home after a long and tiring flight, only to open your suitcase and discover that you picked up the wrong one at the baggage reclaim. It is not just the hassle of schlepping back to the airport to effect a changeover, but the fact that someone’s also been rooting through your dirty undies without permission.
Read MoreThere’s been a fair amount of technology thrown at the problem of how to watch content on sites like Hulu.com from outside the US over the years (and vice versa re UK shows from the US). So far the solutions have tended to be VPN style, where you install some software, fire it up and then ‘tunnel’ your way into the North American continent like some digital mole. The advantage of these fixes are they’re quick and easy, the disadvantage is you’re going…
Read MoreThere have been a myriad of iPhone cases that have a sort of wallet attached to the back of it. While those are all quite handy, it makes you really pare down which cards you have on hand. This could mean leaving behind a card you end up needing later on, which makes you wish you were still carrying a wallet around.

Over the summer, it is common to have cook outs, campfires, and general outdoor gatherings. While you love having friends over, it always seems as though an unwanted guest shows up, and then won’t leave your home for days. Hopefully you’ve gathered that I’m talking about bugs.

Playing fetch with your pooch can be a bit tiring sometimes. You want to haul back and throw it as hard as possible, as you don’t want your pup to come back in less than two seconds, but you also don’t want to put your shoulder out of socket. Dogs have quite a bit more energy than we do most of the time, so do you overexert yourself trying to wear out your furry friend, or find an alternative way…

You’ve got to admit one thing, transportation is really going through some big changes right now. The high price of gas, the crowded streets and the proliferation of new technologies is driving a really innovative period in our ability to move from place to place effortlessly. Some of the most interesting stuff we find comes from personal devices like Honda’s UNI-CUB, but there are other examples which are just as interesting.
Read MoreThere’s a bunch of live wallpaper apps out there for Android, which typically come with a variety of different features and formats. Some are little more than animated slide-shows, others deliver pitifully low resolution video or stutter badly in operation. But to date there’s been no real ‘practical’ video wallpaper product which didn’t suck up all your phone’s processing power or battery life.
Read MoreWikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has set up an online petition to stop the extradition of British student Richard O’Dwyer to the US, and it’s something all Internet users really should be aware of. Richard was the founder of the web search engine TVShack.net, which let people search for their favourite television programmes and movies online. He did not directly host any copyrighted material at all. So in this regard his site was doing nothing more than Google does every day! However, a…
Read MoreSome of us are blessed with ability to fall asleep quickly, and sleep like a log. Others are woken up by every little noise, and have difficulty falling back asleep if the noise continues. Turning on the TV or listening to music are viable ways to drown out exterior sounds, but they are also somewhat distracting. You may end up staying awake because you want to listen to or watch whatever is playing, which defeats the purpose.

Last year, we saw that Wacom was giving their bamboo tablets a bit of an update. They were the Bamboo Connect, Create, and Capture. While they were all nice pieces of hardware, they might not have had exactly what you were looking for. Many times, these bamboo tablets are used for artistic purposes, and thankfully, Wacom has recently released a newer version that will be all the rage for up and coming artists.

To preface this little oddity, let us just say that I have a borderline obsession for toast with butter and honey. Those of you who also enjoy this breakfast time favorite will know that using real butter rather than a spread can be quite a pain. You have to have it at the perfect temperature so when your toast pops, you can spread it over the whole piece.
