• Remote Control Inflatable Flying Zombie Shark

  In Gear, Uncategorized / 1 November 2012 / 0 comments

  

  This shark is scarier than a regular shark because it’s a ZOMBIE and is on the hunt of blood… and brains! The Air Swimmers RC Zombie Shark stalks through the air with incredibly smooth and life-like motion. Fill your shark with helium at the nearest party store, florist shop, or grocery store that carries balloons. (Or use the helium tank in your friendly mad scientist’s lab.) The shark’s body is made from a high-quality, durable nylon material that will stay inflated for weeks and can be refilled over and over again. Grab the infra-red remote and you can guide the shark up, down, and 360 degrees around.

  Earlier this week we were in San Francisco covering the release of the new, critically acclaimed Windows Phone 8.  At the launch event we got to see Jessica Alba up-close and personal, got to talk with some of the developers and got our hands on the Windows Phone 8X weeks before the mid-November release. To cap things off our crew took a catamaran trip around San Francisco Bay to see the sights. We stopped by the Golden Gate Bridge then made our way over to Sausalito.

  Windows Phone 8 is hot off the presses and with that comes the release of a nice bevy of phones from HTC and Nokia. The HTC 8X is their top line phone that caters to the user that wants power, but doesn’t want to look like hes just happy to see you. The 8X packs a punch with out the battle of the bulge in your front pocket. The Qualcomm S4 dual core processor is quick, very quick, which makes the new live tiles seamless to navigate. Apps open without hesitation and putting up multiples against each other doesn’t have much slowdown at all. The screen is a crystal clear 1280×720 (341ppi) display, and has sharp colors that flow well with the new found dynamic of crisp color scheme of the “new” Windows. No black turtlenecks here.

• Windows 8 Has the Hype, but Can it take a Bite out of Apple?

  In Gear, Technology / 25 October 2012 / 0 comments

  

  “A new era for Microsoft and our customers,” Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said at a press event in New York today. Coming from a guy who has dabbled with 8 first hand, I can say it’s definitely a new innovative UI unmatched by any other platform. The live tile system will be the Windows’ bread and butter in the near to distant future. If you’re open minded enough to leave behind the simple world of Apple and the blue screen world of the “old” Microsoft, the tiles are worth a shot. Once customized to the user, the tiles serve as an easy access point to every facet of digital life. Microsoft is taking a leap of faith, playing with the loyalty of its declining but dedicated followers, but this could be just what it needs to catapult it back in to the running in 2013.
