We’re not sure why you’d want to do this, but apparently there are folk out there who wish to transform their Android cell phones into Apple iPhones. Of course one of the interesting things is the fact that you can do that quite simply, whereas the Apple theme is locked into place tighter than a hippo wedged in a spin dryer.

While most of us don’t have the newest gadget or gizmo of the age, we have the luxury of a smartphone and tablet combo, and possibly a computer that clocks a decent pace. While it’s probably difficult to imagine working or living in a place that just hands out tablets during the work day, it does happen. If you are a manager at one of these facilities, then you likely need a way to keep everything safe when they’re not…

Your bedside table is home to many an item. This is where your current read, glasses, lamp, and phone reside. These aren’t exactly meant to be giant tables, so everything is normally in a pile, and all of your gadgetry that needs to charge overnight is vying for an outlet. While you appreciate your lamp, it normally gets unplugged at night to make way for more important items. If you don’t want to put an entire power strip next to…

When it’s dreadful and chilly outside, all you want to do is hunker down and be warm. Doing this will likely include a multitude of blankets, a fireplace (or space heater), and a warm beverage. Hot chocolate is a tried and true drink of choice for this season, and there are a variety of ways to go about making it. Mixes for hot chocolate are great and all, but they always end up grainy at the bottom of the cup.

Read MoreIt may seem a little strange, but not everyone wants or needs a portable mobile phone. For some people, it’s more important to have a nice steady and comfortable headpiece on which to conduct their very important conversations. And they like big buttons and the solid heft of a proper landline desk phone.

For those who love snazzy sports cars but need more space or options, Xelestine has come up with a really cool concept. It’s transformable sportscar, intended for a front-engine vehicle, can transform from a hatchback to a family-style wagon to a pick-up, all through the use of its rear window. Two side triangular panels retract into the C-pillars in the fastback mode to create a sportscar form with improved aerodynamics for better fuel economy. The panels can be raised to…

It’s rather unfortunate that modern laptops tend to emit rather more heat than is strictly necessary for running the Solitaire card game, but emit it they do. Not only that but they also can distribute generous amounts of EMF radiation, which we suspect is not something the designers originally intended, but is clearly a part of the price we pay for all that glorious high performance and wireless networking crammed into a pizza box.

Love it or hate it, crowdfunding seems here to stay, along with all the controversy as well as applause. Sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo are the major players in the sector, but smaller services such as Quirky, AppsFunder and RocketHub are also adding to the mix. But where do you go to try and keep track of these projects?

Whenever you see someone playing a game of chess in a TV show or movie, there’s always a very iconic moment of one of the pieces being knocked over. It’s always so dramatic, and adds emphasis to whatever the situation is. However, can you imagine what things would be like if they tried to knock it over, multiple time, and failed miserably because it kept springing upright?

When it comes to purchasing a new car, you know that you’re going to drop a good hunk of money. Of course, that’s just the beginning as you’ll have to keep putting in gas, oil, and keep up with general maintenance. If you like to make your mode of transportation a bit more manual, then you’ll want space to store whatever you’re carrying, as you won’t have a trunk in the back.

Do you like skiing and rollerblading? Have you ever thought of combining the two? No? Well that’s probably because it would over-complicate a very simple mode of transportation. That being said, it hasn’t stopped someone from inventing this weird combo.

Smartphone phooey, who needs ’em? Let’s face it, all we want to do most of the time is make calls, send text messages and keep track of the time. Wristwatches, what are they? All this RAM, ROM, apps and Internet stuff is for the birds, especially since it usually gives you a battery life of less than 3 minutes and a severe case of touchscreen RSI. Nope, these fancy doo-dads are all right for the kids, but a real man…

What is there not to like about the turtle? According to Wikipedia (which is always correct) turtles are “reptiles of the order Chelonii or Testudines characterised by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs that acts as a shield.” Also, according to legend, a select group of the specie has formed an elite four turtle, martial arts trained, vigilante group that live in the sewers of New York. But I digress.

It comes once a year, every year. We all resolve do make things better and brighter in our lives through a New Year’s resolution. If you chose to lose a few pounds this year, it seems only right that your cat should do the same (they are layabouts that could do with a higher heart rate every now and then).
