I can’t lie to you all- just because I write for a techy site doesn’t mean I’m somehow ahead of the curve when it comes to technological advances. Sure, my wife and I have all but tattooed the Apple logo on our respective faces, but when it comes to the “Cloud” party, we’re running fashionably late. You see, I’m Jewish, meaning I’m genetically prone to worrying, meaning I am physically incapable of not thinking “Yeah, [...]
We’ve all seen the self-portraits snapped (mostly) by teenage girls, of themselves either taken by holding the camera at arms length, or my personal favorite, in front of a mirror showing the camera itself, which is usually a smartphone, and sporting duck-lips. However seeing Mars robotic probe Curiosity do the same did take me a bit by surprise. Essentially, at first I was all like, “Why would NASA spend valuable time by taking photos of [...]
The bladeless Exhale fan uses inspiration from the one and only Nikola Tesla to provide a smooth, steady stream of air from the ceiling. The Exhale is a bladeless laminar vortex cyclonic homogenizing ceiling fan – it works very differently to a standard bladed ceiling fan. The Exhale uses a principle called laminar flow it is able to evenly mix the air throughout an entire room. In contrast, a conventional ceiling fan buffets the area [...]
I tried snowboarding once, and I swear the frustration had me so angry that I strongly considered burning down the ski lodge. Good thing nobody heard me- good thing I wasn’t wearing these. The Voice Chat Ski Goggles work with Bluetooth to allow for you and your snow buddies to chat it up while whizzing down the K12. The bone conduction microphone transmits your shrieks of horror, while your choice of earphone lets you hear [...]
It’s unknown if the software they use in the advert to speak with dolphin actually works or if, more likely, it’s a Hollywood trick. However the video shows off the new Acer Ultrabook that boasts a tactile screen and Windows 8 operating system. That S7 Ultrabook also has an Intel Core i7 CPU and looks really sweet too! Almost entirely too much like a Macbook Air! And boys, let’s face it, the lady in the [...]
![Electronic Countermeasure Defeats Traffic Cameras [NoPhoto]](http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/themes/morning/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/BEfore_large.jpg&w=300&h=150&zc=1&a=c)
NoPhoto is an electronic countermeasure for traffic cameras that is currently up for funding on Indiegogo. On detecting a traffic camera via its onboard sensors, NoPhoto floods the number plate with light to disrupt the camera’s photo – thereby saving you from a hefty fine. There are some people who would suggest that such a device is irresponsible. The developer, Jonathan Dandrow believes otherwise. He explained his motivation for building the device, which he says [...]
Today I’ll start a short series of reviews that will take a look at the least known anti-virus software available. Stuff with strange names and that you’ve not heard of before. Initially I was going to write a string of reviews on the worst anti-viruses but after testing the first two, I realized that they weren’t all that bad and that the caption “worst” wasn’t warranted at this time. Test PC The test PC is [...]
Whatever happens at night, it’s fair to say you always know who or what is the culprit. Whether it’s the neighbor’s stupid cat, the stupid teenager from up the street, or that weirdo around the corner with all of the old newspapers in his car. But what’s an accusation with no proof? And furthermore, how can you get proof if night vision technology costs so damn much to purchase. Well now all your troubles are [...]
Autographer is a wearable camera that wants to take intelligent random photos of your everyday life. The company, claims that the camera, “…has been custom built to enable spontaneous, hands-free image capture. Its world leading technology includes a custom 136° eye view lens, an ultra small GPS unit and 5 in-built sensors. These sensors are fused by a sophisticated algorithm to tell the camera exactly the right moments to take photos.” The point of all this [...]
My wife has never left her hair-straightening iron on once, yet she’s pretty paranoid that she did every single time she leaves the house and I’m not exactly sure why. But she does have an iPhone, and I have a penchant for finding cool things online and at least $50 in my bank account. What that means is that it’s time to solve this little quandary with Belkin’s WeMo Switch. This app-controlled device works with [...]
When was the last time you checked the air pressure of your tires? It is something that we are supposed to do pretty regularly – unfortunately most of us don’t. I remember looking at my tires the other day thinking that they could probably do with a little air – that was three weeks ago and I live in a country where most of the gas stations are still full-service. I wouldn’t need to lift [...]
Music is my first love and as someone who grew up in the 80′s, much of my childhood music memories existed on cheaply made, cheaply sold, and always handy cassette tapes. But if you’re anything like me, you don’t have as much as a CD player in your house, let alone a cassette deck, so what happens to all those songs you recorded off the radio in 2nd grade? Well now your problem is solved with the [...]
