Ever wanted to be a spy? Now you can get some of that action without the constant name changes, ever-changing life stories to tell commoners, never living in a single place for more than a month (and so on and so forth) thanks to the HD PenCam by Swann.

In the meantime, if you just can’t wait, $99 will get you a tiny pen/HD camera (720p) that will store up to 16...
Google I/O 2013 kicked off today in glorious San Fran. And while there was a ton of new stuff thrown out, a lot of it was dev focused. While highly important in its own regard, we know you want to know the most forward facing Google products and services you’re going to see as a consumer. That said, that is what we’re focusing on here. So let’s get to it… Google Play Games On iOS, users have Game Center and iCloud which if the developer makes use of,...
We took a look at Quickres and Quicklock late last year and noted that while small in utility, then specific utilities they catered too made our lives a lot easier. First off, Quickres is a handy utility that allows superb fast toggling of screen resolutions without having to jump deep into the system settings panel. Even cooler, though is that you can select multiple resolutions as “favorites” and set up keyboard shortcuts to toggle between your chosen...
They say lightning doesn’t strike twice, but for Bowers and Wilkins, the hits keep coming. Following in the footsteps of the Zeppelin Air and the A2 and A7, B&W’s latest Airplay speaker dock follows with a sleek, minimal design, and big sound for its small size. While the A7 comes in at $800, the Z2 features a much smaller $400 price tag. It’s still steep for a speaker dock, but even in this more affordble package, Bowers & Wilkin’s...
You may not know it but BlackBerry kicked off their BlackBerry Live event today. And so far, the biggest announcement revolves around BlackBerry Messenger. It’s finally going cross-platform. Starting this summer, Android and iOS users will have access to BBM Chat, with voice, video and BBM Channels to follow throughout the year. Price: Free. We can’t help but not care, really. Cross-platform BBM is 5 years late too the game. In a market where WhatsApp, Kik...
iPad stands are like iPhone cases – a dime a dozen. There are good ones, “ok” ones and “don’t even bother” ones. CoolerMaster’s Cube stand looks to cater to the former. But visual appeal is but one small piece of the puzzle. Does the Cube actually work? Design & Construction True to CoolerMaster’s recent iPad specific accessories, aluminum is used heavily again. It makes for a nice and sturdy (but not too heavy) stand that...

The Nexus 4 is still the top of the heap as far as “pure” Android handsets go. It’s the only place you’ll find an unadulterated Android experience free from carrier and manufacturer bloat. It also helps that the hardware is plenty powerful for pretty much anything the modern smartphone enthusiast can throw at it with some nice lines (design wise) to boot. That said, the glass back did cause some controversy at first. For two years Android junkies...
T-Mobile has long been the 4th place underdog in the wireless world, With a subscriber count that trails (by a long ways) the two biggest carriers, AT&T and Verizon, T-Mobile only has one thing to really compete on – price and unique service offerings. But even the various service options they’ve offered over the last several years haven’t turned into anything meaningful, specifically, actual subscriber growth. It hasn’t happened since 2009. But...
