The new iPad HD was released this afternoon by Apple and I am not on board with the bandwagon that seems to be marveled by the newest Cupertino based offering.
The iPad boasts a new higher resolution, a faster processor and…well, that’s mainly about it.? The name hasn’t even been confirmed! Is it the iPad3, the iPad HD? It should be called the iPad2s, but Apple just has it as the ‘iPad’ on their website.? If I call into Apple support, do I get support for the newest generation of iPad even if I have the original iPad?

Every Black Friday and Cyber Monday has crazy deals on electronics.? While most will splurge for a new laptop or a new TV to boast their advancement in the technological era, they forget to look at accessories or peripherals that accent those products and take them to a higher level of performance and enjoyment.
TVs, computers, iPhones and gaming console all produce sound. The built in speakers are terrible choices to reproduce that sound for maximum enjoyment, especially when utilizing any surround sound feature. The Logitech Z506 was recently sent to us to test out, and I was pleasantly surprised at the performance for price this product sits at.

LCD screens are everywhere. The most sensitive ones are probably on your HDTV, computer monitor or notebook. However, many smart phones, tablets and e-readers have non-glare or oleophobic (grease resistant) coatings on their LCD screens. While you may be tempted to grab a bottle of window cleaner, chances are the ammonia in it will eventually remove the coatings, or even cloud the plastic screen. Here are 5 alternatives to glass cleaner:
- Hands down the best choice, whether it’s finger prints or dust, is a microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquid if you can. Clean in a circular motion. To avoid permanent damage use a light touch. TIP: Washing your microfiber cloths with liquid or sheet fabric softeners will reduce their effectiveness. Read the rest of this entry »

Years ago, the two biggest factors when building a new desktop computer are price and performance.? Today, there is a new added component to consider when putting together a machine, which is energy efficiency.
Modern computers must be powerful, cheap and equally importantly, they must be green!? Computers that use less power promote green initiatives within small to large corporations and also provide financial relief from costly power bills at the end of the month.? We went out in search of a good compromise of power and energy efficiency which led us to pursue the new AMD Fusion E-350 processor APU which supports faster performance than an Intel Atom chip while only consuming the same amount of juice.

Over the past couple months, we’ve done two posts on how to create a cheap home server and a much more powerful server that can serve an entire network (home or small business).

Earlier this year, we did a post on how to build a cheap and inexpensive home server, using an Intel Atom which is a low power consumption processor.? The one problem with that build is that it lacks some real processing power you need to transcode and stream media on the fly or if you are looking for a server that will be accessed outside of your own home network for hosting media websites or other content.
I decided to build a server that had some real processing power, but was not one of those CPU’s that commanded tons of power (wattage) or would be a noisy space heater in what ever room I kept it in.? I discovered its very easy to build a server that is powerful, cheap and uses very little juice to save on energy costs.

Well the wait is finally over it seems…Verizon is expected/should announce the iPhone 4 tomorrow at a press conference in New York.
While this has been the most anticipated partnership in current modern tech history, I’m a bit surprised at the hype over the technology they are releasing.? Don’t be mistaken, as a Verizon customer, I will absolutely be making the switch over to the new iPhone, but I’m a bit disappointed at the release I’m getting details about.
The iPhone 4 on Verizon is going to be great, but it could have been made a whole lot better…
