Twelve south makes some really innovative products designed specifically for Mac users, and the BookBook and PlugBug World are two that I will always have in my travel bag. When I, like most business people, travel, I want to have the most useful technology that I can have with me, but I want to keep [...]
I can still remember the first iMac I ever saw. It was commonly referred to as the Revision “A” and the Bondi blue computer was introduced on May 6, 1998. As the saying goes “you’ve come a long way baby!” The original featured a 4 GB hard drive, 32 MB of RAM, a 15” screen [...]
I’ve been an iPhone and iPad user for years and like a lot of users who use their smartphones a lot, I usually either run the battery down every day or come very close to it. Ditto with my iPad, so I’ve been trying to find a single solution to keep both of the device [...]

Wow! That pretty much sums up my experience with V-MODA’s new Crossfade M-100 Headphones. These headphones are only available via Headphone Bar and Amazon in Canada, or the V-MODA online store – they ship to Canada. The M-100 headphones aren’t cheap, with a retail price of $310USD, but truly, if you’re in the market [...]

We’ve got a central vac. in our house that’s considered a pretty good one by all accounts, so when I received my test version of the new Dyson DC51 Animal upright vacuum I thought that it would be reasonable to see how well it worked by vacuuming first with our central vac., and then with [...]
I’ve used notebooks for so many years now that when I sit down at my desktop system and have to use a mouse, I’m constantly wishing for a touchpad instead of the mouse. While there are many options available for add-on touchpads or trackpads, I wanted to try out the Logitech Rechargeable Trackpad for [...]
