Just when you thought there wasn’t much left that hasn’t already been gadgetized, along comes the Bluetooth pillow … Dreampad is a modern take on a very old idea: a speaker designed to be heard through a pillow, so you can listen without disturbing your partner. But it’s not just a Bluetooth speaker embedded in a pillow – it uses a form of direct-transmission sound known as intrasound. This is the technology used by bone-conduction devices sometimes used to allow profoundly deaf people to hear....

When it comes to HomeKit devices, our own Zac Hall is the resident expert around these parts, but I’m doing my best to come up to speed with the plethora of options available. I recently took my first stab at installing a smart lock, the 3rd gen August Smart Lock, only to later find out that it wasn’t HomeKit compatible. It’s primarily my fault, because I wasn’t diligent enough with my research, but August, with its somewhat confusing nomenclature should take a portion of the blame as well....

Fans of the RHONJ have compared Jennifer Aydin to Veruca Salt after her over the top pizza party tantrum that she threw in the Hamptons. The other women sat silently as Jennifer raged about how she threw the biggest parties. The Turkish housewife has not been on the show very long, but the rookie is already causing massive tidal waves with her impressions of co-star Jackie Goldschneider and drunk truths that spilled out of her after a shot or two of tequila....

Robert Zemeckis is one of the greatest filmmakers of our time. He has brought us timeless classics like Back to the Future and Forrest Gump, and childhood favorites like The Polar Express and Monster House. Many recognizable titles are listed upon his resumé. They’re the kind of films that spawn memorable quotes, teach us a lesson, make us laugh and make us cry–or perhaps all of the above. Whatever the case, Zemeckis has long made his mark on the entertainment industry and upon audiences alike every time we watch one of his movies....

While most ultra wide monitors on the market with Thunderbolt 3 go for well over a thousand dollars, Samsung offers an interesting option with a 34-inch curved display, Thunderbolt 3, and a more affordable price. The CJ791 doesn’t bring a 4K resolution to the table, but it does come in at $800 with a compelling overall package. Read on for our full review of this ultra wide Thunderbolt 3 monitor that works well with the MacBook Pro and other MacBooks....

We covered the release of the LXORY Dual Wireless Charging Pad back in January. The new charger offers three input options — including USB-C and Lightning — and an affordable price tag. Now, we’ve had a chance to use the new wireless charger for several weeks, read on for our full review. LXORY’s new offering seems to be the first wireless charger to offer three input options for powering the device....

Apple’s iOS game controller design guidelines were clearly inspired by Microsoft’s Xbox controllers, but Mad Catz has taken the concept a step further: its new C.T.R.L.i ($60) and Micro C.T.R.L.i ($50, available for $46) for iOS look so much like Xbox One game controllers that you might struggle to tell them apart in a dark room. While the full-sized C.T.R.L.i is very close to the Xbox One controller in footprint and weight, Micro C....

As the grand finale, The Rise of Skywalker makes some big decisions about the Star Wars universe, both in regards to the past, present, and future of the franchise. Not only will upcoming works be radically different, but watching the older films with the knowledge of what comes after also changes the viewing experience. To drive this point home, the following list will detail ten ways the new movie completely changes Star Wars....

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker has realized fans’ worst fears that Disney purchasing Lucasfilm would lead to generic committee-led movies with no heart and no direction. When Disney purchased Lucasfilm in late 2012, the news was met with trepidation. On the one hand, Disney is a major corporation that could provide new movies with greater reach and financial backing. On the other, Disney is a major corporation with regulations about its content and a vested interest in selling merchandise worldwide....

There is a ton of bad blood and history between all of the main character’s parents which is only just starting to come to light.

To make this possible, Samsung used Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G processor. On this page, we will guide you on how to root the Samsung Galaxy M42 5G (model supported SM-M426B) without the TWRP Recovery.

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuDa0pzmMP0] No sooner did we get Touch ID on our iPhones than it started to feel horribly old-fashioned and tedious to have to login to our Macs by typing in a password. Apple will no doubt add Touch ID sensors to Macs soon I imagine, but if you can’t wait that long–or don’t want to have to lay out the cash on a new Mac–there’s an app for that. MacID is a $4 app allowing your iPhone to unlock your Mac via Bluetooth LE....

Roseanne Barr is still quite angry about about being fired from her show, and now specifically blames former co-star Sara Gilbert for her downfall. Regardless of one’s opinion concerning Barr herself, there’s no doubt that Roseanne is a deservedly iconic sitcom, and worthy of inclusion in any hypothetical TV show hall of fame. Running for nearly a decade, Roseanne was one of the defining comedies of the 1990s, and cast a welcome focus on a family of working class people that struggled with everyday issues....

If you have ever dreamt of being a rover engineer, Rover Mechanic Simulator is what you should try. Further, Rover Mechanic Simulator is a simulation game in which you take on the role of a mechanic on one of the first Martian settlements. Your primary responsibilities will be the repair and maintenance of Mars rovers, which will allow the remaining crew to collect detailed information about the structure of the planet while using the rovers....

Here’s a guide to the cast and characters of Revenge Of The Nerds. Directed by Jeff Kanew, Revenge Of The Nerds was released in 1984. Set at the fictional Adams College, the movie’s plot follows a group of nerds and their harassment at the hands of a fraternity of football jocks called the Alpha Betas. As Revenge Of The Nerds’ title suggests, the nerds eventually exact their vengeance on Alpha Beta via joining a fraternity themselves – the (previously) all-black Lambda Lambda Lambda....

If there’s one thing almost as certain as death and taxes, it’s the gastronomic over-indulgences during the holidays and the consequent new year diet needed to undo the damage. In my particular case, a temporary drop in my main form of regular exercise–cycling–didn’t help matters. But if there’s anything that can provide that added incentive to lose the holiday pounds, it’s an excuse to involve some gadgets. Two new connected scales from Escali seemed tailor-made for the job, automatically logging both weight and calorie-intake to an iPhone app, so I decided to put them to the test … You may recall that I reviewed the Drop kitchen scale in December....

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyOuqQ4zJCM] I had a chance this week to demo a iPhone 4 and 4S case from a company called LifeProof that purports to offer 100% waterproof and military graded shockproof protection to iPhone 4 and 4S. There are other cases that offer this type of protection, but this one is relatively thin and also allows you to hear the speakers and use the mic thanks to micro-holed that are so small that water can’t get through but sound can....

Lightning cables and battery packs are often so similar that I rarely have a strong preference for “nicer” alternatives over basic ones. But Nomad has been working to change that by creating practical charging accessories that you’ll actually want to carry around everywhere. Last year, it debuted the NomadKey ($25), which places a Lightning to USB cable on your keychain, as well as NomadPlus ($40), an iPhone battery pack that combines with Apple’s 5W USB Power Adapter to become an 1800mAh “anywhere” recharger....
