Apple (like Google) has big plans in the "take over the world" department. The latest Apple patent aims it sights at your "personal area network"… basically they want to use RF modules on everything you own and relay that information to the internet. That would include devices with both short…
The folks at Victory Motorcycles (owned by Polaris) are making some sweet bikes. I have to say that Polaris/Victory are one of the few American companies turning out a good product with a motor. It is a pretty sad time when I won’t/can’t justify buying any American cars because they…
Tired of trying to impress folks with your fake Rolex… try using a $2,000 status symbol of a cell phone… the Motorola Aura. The Motorola Aura sports a 16-Million color display (that is round), a 62-carat sapphire crystal lens, a stainless steel housing (which takes about two weeks to manufacture),…

Still can’t bring myself to wear a Bluetooth headset like Craig. Even better,…

There are two models available today, the PCG1 (personal device charger… hand held style) and the PCG2 (charging station wall…
