BK – British Knights

Right away, you either recognize this tennis shoe brand from the 80’s… or you don’t.  The BK or British Knights shoes were the rage when hip hop and rap was coming up.  I never owned a pair, guess I was more of a K-Swiss type of guy. If you want…

Convergence Gone Wrong, Mouse + Phone = Dumb

Dear Sony, I used to love your products.  They were cutting edge and high quality (and expensive, but typically worth it).  But then you started doing really stupid things.  Without going into too many details/products, let’s just point out one of your latest “stupid things”… the Sony VAIO Mouse Talk…

Apple No Longer Selling The iPhone At UK Apple Store

  Not sure what to think of this one, but Apple rarely tends to make mistakes. The UK Apple Store no longer has the “add to cart” button on just the iPhone’s. I am just speculating here… but if they are stopping the direct sales of iPhone’s then they may…

Iomega Goes Camouflage

In an effort to differentiate a storage commodity, Iomega has released a new line of external hard drives labeled “eGo”.  The camouflage version comes with a black “iomega power grip”. Someone in marketing is smoking the good stuff, my favorite quote, “adding a style of adventure and intrigue to the…

Are New SmartPhones Taking Notes From Old PDA’s?

It seems like many of the new smartphones are making a full circle back to the old ways of the PDA units. Back when Palm, Inc. was starting on it’s great PDA revolution with touch screens and gray scale PDA units one of the big things that set them apart…

The folks at Computer Choppers who are crazy about blinging out your Mac gear, have been busy coating iPhone bits in yellow gold, platinum, and satin rose gold.  Perfect for the "gotta be different" types with money to burn.
