LG Tone Studio: Awesome Surround Sound without All the Speakers

When I was in Barcelona this year at the LG booth, a rep for LG told me he had something he wanted me to see. We walked into a glass room with a racing game playing on a wall-mounted TV and a horseshoe-shaped gadget resting carefully underneath. He told me to put the device around my neck and handed me a controller. I un-paused the game and began to try to drive around in the game. He was right, he needed to show me this. At one point, I looked up at the corner of the room expecting to see a speaker […]

How to Make the Apple Logo on Your iPhone Light Up Like a Macbook (iPhone 7 & 7 Plus) (Video)

Well, thanks to the response from you guys for the iPhone 6/6 Plus light kit and the iPhone 6S/6S Plus kits I put together, here’s how to make the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Apple logo light up like it does on a Macbook. Now, there was a bit of a delay getting the iPhone 7 kit to work and the main reason is the fact that Apple changed the way the screen connects to the motherboard. In the previous versions of this kit, we ended up leeching power from the back of the screen and that essentially allowed the

Razer Blade Stealth Review: A Sleek, Sexy, Black Metal Ultrabook

You know what there needs to be more of? Premium looking & feeling Windows laptops. Seriously, have you been to a BestBuy or other electronics store and wandered into the Windows laptop section? The slight glimmer of metal here but mostly, cheap-looking plastic devices that are either clunky or overpriced. Now that’s not to say there isn’t some that have good internal hardware at least, but if you want something with decent power and yet also looks like it wasn’t styled by a 4 year old with a crayon, you’re pretty limited. (It’s no wonder Macbooks have a such a solid

How to Get an Unlimited WiFi HotSpot for Traveling Overseas (Video)

Traveling is one of my favorite things to do. Meeting interesting people, learning about new cultures/languages, and there’s something about the uncomfortable nature one gets when traveling alone that I thoroughly enjoy. Something I don’t enjoy about the traveling experience is losing my connection to everyone back home or the inability to access pertinent information while traveling because of shoddy wifi access, my phone not working like it does back home, etc. This year, when getting ready for Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, I received something that – I didn’t know at the time – would become something that was

LG G6 Review: Great Dual Cameras, Unique Styling & Screen, Waterproof

LG just launched their LG G6 flagship phone at Mobile World Congress a couple of weeks ago and were kind enough to let me borrow one while I was there. I’ve had a bit of time to use it as my daily phone now and I think it’s time to do the review. Check out the unlocked GSM version here on Amazon. The Design I’ve gotten more compliments on the way this phone looks than any other phone I’ve used in a while. And it’s not really that much of a surprise. Look at it. From the ultra thin bezels,

Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8 Plus Hands-On (Video)

Even though there have been so many leaks about these phones leading up to this event, they are finally official and I got to use them for a bit at the Unpacked 2017 Samsung Launch Event. Here’s the low-down on the new phones and everything you need to know. Design The big stand-out feature you’ll immediately notice is the screen. Like the Edge devices before it it has a screen that wraps over the edges of the device and curve into the body giving the appearance of a bezel-less (at least on two sides) display. At the top and bottom

Video: How to Quickly Create an Online Store (Using Wix)

There’s a lot of ways to easily make an online store nowadays. From sites directly devoted to just online shops, to plugins of all sorts for systems like WordPress, etc. there is no shortage of options. The thing is that each of these systems are usually good at one facet over others, WordPress is super robust with features that can seem overwhelming and complex to some people and has a focus on blogging/content, where as Shopify is very store specific with a limited amount of features but is very good at being an online store first and foremost. Now, in

How to Give Any Laptop a Touchscreen (Video)

I like touchscreens on laptops. So much so that I have caught myself, after a long time with such a laptop, tapping at the screen of another, non-touchscreen, variety in vain. Then quickly remembering that the one I’m using doesn’t have a touchscreen, laughing at myself, and checking to see if anyone else saw me just poke at my Macbook screen. It’s not just mac either, there are plenty of other laptops like Chromebooks and Windows computers that don’t have a touch screen. But what if you could change that? A product called the Neonode Airbar aims to quickly solve that

As part of my series on how to help you stop paying stupid amounts of money for people to repair your iPhone for you, here’s how to repair the screen on the iPhone 6S. So long as you get a kit with all the tools needed, it’s not as difficult as it sounds.

Adobe Premiere vs Final Cut Pro X (Video)

I recently did a video comparing Adobe Premiere render speeds on three of the top laptops out right now: the new Macbook Pro 15″ with Touchbar, Surface Book w/ Performance Base, and a gaming laptop by the company Razer called the Razer Blade 2016. Again, this wasn’t meant to be a laptop comparison, but instead a way of showing how these top performing laptops all handled a task that I, personally, have to do every day. In that video it was pretty apparent that the Razer Blade – the laptop with the most powerful GPU – managed to get the

Sony Xperia Touch: A Projector That Lets You Have a Touchscreen Tablet On Any Surface

Ever since I saw the original Surface (not the tablets, it was a giant table you could use as a touchscreen oh so long time ago), I’ve always wanted a touch screen table, wall, whatever was realistically possible. Now, while that does exist, it isn’t quite what you’d call affordable. The Ideum touch screen table, for example, starts at about $10,000. Now a lot of this price comes from making large enough displays that have touch capabilities, but what if you didn’t need the screen? Sony has finally brought to market their Sony Touch, a projector they’ve been touting around that
