At first glance, the Ultimate Ears Blast looks nearly identical to the previous Boom 2 speaker. Large volume controls adorn the front of the speaker, a wire-like mesh wraps around the device, and a power button sits atop the device. External design changes on the Blast are subtle. The edges are sharper, furthering the canister design of the speaker, and the power button has nearly doubled in size. Sporting two 35mm active drivers and two 81mm x 39mm passive radiators, the Ultimate Ears Blast weighs in at 1....

It’s easy to look at a photograph of Elago’s new W Stand ($30) without fully appreciating how large it is. There aren’t many Apple Watch stands that dwarf the device they’re holding — Griffin’s plastic WatchStand is a notable exception — but when you take the 6-inch-tall, 2.4-inch-diameter W Stand out of its package, you quickly get the sense that it’s designed to feel big and solid. Yet it’s also affordable, selling for the same price as WatchStand and $10 less than Just Mobile’s all-metal TimeStand....

Earlier in my reviewing career, I always tried to estimate the likely audience for products I tested: was an accessory likely to be universally appealing, somewhat popular, niche, or poorly received by virtually everyone? Many reviews (and reader comments) later, I learned there was at least a small audience for virtually anything, and conversely, that some people found reasons to dislike even the best-designed and best-reviewed products. I eventually concluded that there is no such thing as “universally appealing” or “universally bad” — just products for different audiences of different sizes....

Japanese blog Macotakara, which often publishes accurate information about unreleased Apple products and company news, today claims to have some reliable information on the yet-to-be-announced, upcoming iPad mini 4. Today’s report claims that the iPad mini 4 will look a lot like a smaller version of the current iPad Air 2. That’s not saying a whole lot considering the current version also looks a lot like a smaller iPad Air 2 in its design, but the report adds that the fourth-gen will adopt the iPad Air 2’s 6....

I’ve reviewed a lot of Lightning thumb drives in the past, which allow you to transfer and stream files from the drive directly to an iPhone or iPad with a built-in Lightning connector and companion app. On the other end is usually a USB-A connector to do the same on your Mac or PC, but this new Lightning drive from PhotoFast also offers USB-C for new MacBook and MacBook Pro users AND micro-USB, making for a complete solution that will let you transfer files between all of your devices....

Yesterday, we managed to grab a pair of Snapchat Spectacles from their only point-of-sale in Venice, CA…...

Ring, the company named after its video doorbell system (review), first announced a home security system back in October. However, sales were quickly halted by a lawsuit from ADT … The Verge explains. The Verge now reports that the system has gone on pre-order today, with shipping scheduled for next month. Part of the settlement appears to have been a rebranding, so what was originally Ring Protect is now Ring Alarm....

The first looks at Robert Pattinson’s batsuit from The Batman bears a number of similarities to the suit from the Batman: Arkham video game series. There is plenty of Dark Knight source material from the upcoming 2021 film to take inspiration from. Countless comics, films and video games exist with Batman at center stage, but one of the most popular forms of modern bat-media is the Arkham video games. So far, the suit is the only obvious similarity, however, there may be more deep-rooted story points that will be shared among the two different forms of media....

The source also calls for improved audio quality from the buds, a black color offering, and an improved design allowing for greater bass response.

The idea was Johnson would write and direct at least the first installment.

An innovator of special effects who has been credited with using said effects better for the purpose of the narrative than a lot of other filmmakers, Oscar-winning director Robert Zemeckis has crafted quite the career over the past 40+ years. Creating a couple of the most iconic movies of all time, Zemeckis has been often criticized but has also been highly acclaimed throughout his career.
