  In Computers, Technology

  

  Strip down your favorite smartphone and what do you have- A phone with email.

And sure, you may be a wiz on the touchscreen keyboard, but inevitably you will misspell something so why take the chance? So now Elecom has a solution: the One2Touch NFC [...]

   

• Washable Keyboard Helps You Remove….Stuff….

  In Computers, Technology

  

  There are a few problems with keyboards these days.  First off, when you’re….um….when you’re eating, you drop crumbs under the keys, where they often live eternally.  Next, after you’ve…..you’ve ah….touched things……like uh……like shopping carts at the grocery store, you’re hands get very dirty, and I’d be shocked if you told me you wash your hands before touching your computer.  Then when you…….oh man…..when……ok, when you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, your hands get [...]

   

• TP-Link WR1043ND vs D-Link DIR815 review

  In Computers, Reviews, Technology

  

  I’ve recently had a little fun with these two routers, the TP-Link WR1043ND and the D-Link DIR815. Both offer similar specifications except that the D-Link unit sports a Dual Band radio that can use 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz whereas the TP-Link ‘only’ sports the 2.4Ghz band, but the TP-Link has 4 LAN Gigabit ports and the D-Link’s 4 ports are only 10/100 (fast ethernet.) First round: Setup Initial setup is a breeze on both devices, I [...]

   

• The Best Nintendo Emulator You Will See All Day [Ultimate Nintendo Gaming Machine]

  In Computers, Design, DIY, Gaming

  

  If you grew up in the days of the original NES, you probably get a little nostalgic at times – hence the popularity of emulators – but there was more to Nintendo’s early consoles than the clunky old-school graphics. The controllers were an integral part of the experience, but having a separate machine for every type of game isn’t really practical (unless you are this guy). Redditor woolydawg5 came up with a clever solution, he [...]

• MacBook Pro 2012 is Apple’s Least Repairable Laptop To Date

  In Apple, Computers

  

  iFixit’s teardown of the 2012 MacBook Pro revealed some disturbing information about Apple’s flagship laptop – it is Apple’s least repairable laptop to date. In fact, it seems that Apple went out of its way to make it next to impossible for users to repair or modify their machine. Apple has kept things locked down beneath the 15.4-inch Retina Display and the super-svelte .71-inch frame with lots of glue and pentalobe screws. The RAM is [...]

   

• Super WiFi Antenna Allows You to Steal Internet From Far Away

  In Computers, Internet

  

  It was easy to get free internet when you lived in apartment, but now you bought a house and your 84 year old next door neighbor doesn’t do wireless…or computers for that matter.  You’ve got a full-time job, but if you don’t get this blog post up tonight you’ll lose a few of your 112 unique visitors.  But it’s late, Starbucks is closed, and now you’re screwed, right?  WRONG!  Who needs to sit inside a business to [...]

   

• The MacBook Pro Gets an Exciting (But Unsurprising) Upgrade [MacBook Pro 2012]

  In Apple, Breaking News, Computers

  

  Apple lifted the lid on its overdue update to the MacBook Pro line. While there were few surprises, it amounts to a very exciting rebuild. While the MBP has slimmed down, the case design stays true to its roots. It is a unibody, but by scrapping the optical drive Apple managed to trim a tremendous amount of fat. It is thinner and lighter than ever before. By now you have probably already heard that Apple [...]

   

• If You Can Deep-Fry Twinkies, You Can Deep-Fry Gadgets

  In Apple, Computers, Gadgets, iPod, Phones

  

  If you’ve ever been to a carnival, then you know frying pretty much anything in scorching-hot grease makes everything that much better.  If this is true of food, could it be true of gadgets?  Now of course that last sentence was complete horse manure, but something must have inspired New Zealand-born, Brooklyn-residing photog Henry Hargreaves to drop a few thousand dollars worth of modern technology into a deep fat fryer, but if you were ever curious [...]

• Switch to Mac. But Only if You Want to.

  In Apple, Computers, Gadgets

  

  Listen, Gramps, I don’t mean to play favorites, but I was a PC person almost exclusively until a few years ago, and then I came over to the darkside and haven’t looked back since.  I’m in a 2 iPhone, 2 iPod, MacBook Pro, iPad type of marriage, and things couldn’t be better when it comes to our various digital devices.  During my conversion, I found the circumcision to be easy, but the transfer of files [...]

   

• Anyone For a Bullet-riddled MacBook Pro 2011?

  In Computers, Wired Madness

  

  This 13″ 2011 MacBook Pro that is currently on sale on Craigslist might sound like a steal at $200 – until you see the picture. After the seller goes on to boast about its abilities in the fields of business, movie making and Djin [DJing?], he/she goes on to drop this little disclaimer: Speaking of Djin, I was spinning at my home nightclub and a fight brokeout and they started shooting. I hit the deck [...]
