Moshi Symbus Q Laptop Hub and Qi Charger: Replace what your laptop lost…

It’s a bit of a bummer that our laptops are so thin now, they’re losing useful ports. USB-C and Thunderbolt will be the future, but we’re not there yet, and using multiple dongles and adapters is a pain. If your main computer is a thinner laptop, and you want a nice home work space, with the ability to charge your phone, this hub will be right up your alley.

Bokeh is NOT Pronounced “Boca”! Limited run T-Shirts and Hoodies for April!

It’s a joke for April, but NOT an April Fools joke!

There’s much debate over how to pronounce the word “bokeh”, a Japanese term used to describe the artistic quality of lens blur. While we photo-geeks squabble about “ke” versus “kay”, or what region of Japan has a slight upward inflection, or blah blah blah…

The one thing we should all be able to agree on is that the recent Apple commercial is completely wrong. Where one woman turns to another and says:

“Did you just BOCA my child?”

Boca. As in Boca Raton. That’s completely wrong. All I can hear is one woman ask another:

“Did you just MOUTH my child?”

Which is kind of dirty for an Apple ad.

I’ve drawn a line in the sand, and if you want to stand with me on the correct side of that line, I’ve put up a collection of t-shirts and hoodies to help you support the good and righteous cause of language preservation. We’ll probably lose this fight against the juggernaut of Apple marketing, but we won’t go down without a fight!

Men and Women cut premium t-shirts, and super soft premium hoodies, only available through the month of April!

BenQ Screenbar Lite Review: Office Lamp for Your Laptop!

BenQ Screenbar Lite review! Get it? LITE? It’s smaller AND it’s a lamp? Get it? I know office equipment isn’t the sexiest kit to review, but I have a lot of fun with office tech. We spend so much time working, at desks, looking at monitors. We should look at how to do that healthier. A good office lamp will help reduce eyestrain, and this option from BenQ is pretty nice…

What do we really get from “more powerful” smartphone processors?

When a new phone is announced, manufacturers often point to improvements like new processors and GPUs as things consumers desire. We want more powerful gadgets, but what does that really mean? What do we actually get with these generational improvements?

More gratifying benchmark scores don’t correlate with performance improvements for your favorite services.
