Pico projectors — video projectors small enough to fit in pockets or bags — are handy if you need to carry a tool that can display videos on a surface much larger than your iPhone’s screen. And if you’re willing to step up from an iPhone 6 Plus-sized footprint to a projector that’s still smaller (in two dimensions) than an iPad mini, there are benefits: larger projectors can hold more powerful lightbulbs, better speakers, and bigger batteries, amongst other features....

Belkin’s three latest products in its Wemo line of Wi-Fi connected, smartphone-controlled products for the home include a white bulb starter kit, a versatile strip light, and garden lights for outdoor use. The last two are both tunable to thousands of colors and all three connect to Belkin’s Wemo ecosystem and companion app for remote control from your iPhone. All three of the products are through a partnership with OSRAM SYLVANIA, who provided the lightning products that Belkin has integrated into its Wemo platform....

This case has been around for a while, and frankly, I’ve always been a no-case kind of guy. But when I found myself not being as careful with my now almost two-year old iPhone 5, I thought that maybe I should just go all the way. Maybe I should get ahold of one of the more protective cases out there, without going off the deep end and getting something would provide more protection than I need....

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8jEi-g9hHI] In all of the hoopla over the new iPhone 6/Plus, T-Mobile in the US and EE in the UK got themselves a pretty big exclusive (for now). T-Mobile has been offering Wifi calling for years but it’s recently come to the iPhone – and with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, gets even better with cell/wifi handover. (T-Mobile partnered with Gogo to enable texting and voicemails on participating airline journeys as well)....

DigiTimes is claiming that Apple will cease production of the non-Retina version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro this year as it prepares to launch refreshed Retina models toward the end of the year. DigiTimes doesn’t have the best of track records, to put it politely, but this particular rumor doesn’t seem too unlikely: Apple discontinued the 15-inch version of the classic MBP last October, and there is only $100 difference between the Retina and non-Retina 13-inch models, making the decision an easy one for most people....

Apple’s true wireless earbuds called AirPods release later next month, but that hasn’t stopped me from testing what you can buy on the market today. Today we’ll take a deep-dive into what has become my daily driver in the true wireless earbud world. Earin M-1 true wireless earbuds really feel like the perfect package, if only they had included two more things… Design | Charging Capsule The first time I saw the Earin’s charging case for its true wireless earbuds, I immediately thought, “This is how Apple might have designed wireless earbuds back in the PowerBook G4 and Power Mac G5 days....

When I deployed the 2020 MacBook Air to the teachers at my school earlier this year, it became immediately apparent that everything was better on this computer versus our previous ones except for one thing: the camera. For whatever reason, the 2020 MacBook Air webcam is considerably worse than the webcam on our old ones from 2017. Because our teachers were doing so much with virtual learning, I got several complaints, and I wanted a cheap option for teachers to upgrade their camera....

I had never heard of quantum dot display technology until Philips announced their new E6 monitor. Touting to be the world’s first quantum dot display monitor and the only one to reach 99% AdobeRGB color, I definitely became interested. I was already on the hunt for a high-quality monitor, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity. The annoyance I had in monitor shopping was looking for one that was both large and featured an overall great color profile....

Rick and Morty is just about to kick off its fourth season, so now is a good a time as any to rewatch the first three seasons! One of the things that make the show so rewatchable, aside from the fact it is absolutely hysterical, is the amount of detail that is packed into each episode. So much so, you might miss something even on your second or third go around....

Rocket almost carried pieces of Groot with him throughout Avengers: Endgame in the form of a bracelet. As unlikely as it seemed several years ago, the talking raccoon and anthropomorphic tree from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise have become two of the most beloved characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Initially, Groot was the muscle for Rocket as they went on adventures, but that dynamic changed after Groot sacrificed himself....

Rosario Dawson has given an “amazing” response to an online campaign to get her to play the live-action version of Ahsoka Tano in a future Star Wars movie. Dawson, of course, has built quite a reputation for herself in the sci-fi and comic book movie culture in the past 15 years with roles in such hit films as Men in Black II, Sin City and its sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For; and most recently, on TV and film with Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The LEGO Batman Movie....

Last week, we rounded up all of the rumors and speculation about the iPhone X Plus, which Apple is expected to introduce later this year. In addition to that model, the company is also said to have a 6.1-inch LCD iPhone in the works, priced at the opposite end of the spectrum. Read along as we walk through the latest rumors and speculation about the 6.1-inch iPhone… Design & Size The LCD iPhone is expected to fall right in the middle of the iPhone lineup in terms of size, with the 5....

This year’s iPhone launch week is over, so the earliest 13 million or so adopters are already playing with and forming opinions on the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Past history suggests that Apple will sell over 100 million of these phones over the next year or so, which means that there are a lot of people still deciding on which model to buy. If you’re still on the fence about buying one of Apple’s latest and greatest smartphones, there are a few important things you need to know....

Several months after the iPad Air 2 hit shelves, form-fitting cases still remain few and far between, and even our favorite case makers have been rushing out “quick fix” options reusing most of earlier, thicker iPad Air 1 designs. Moshi’s VersaCover for iPad Air 2 ($60) is different. While the “origami cover” front lid is identical to one that was used in the same-named iPad Air 1 case, the rear shell has been redesigned to precisely fit the more slender iPad Air 2’s form....

Regular readers will know that I’m a sucker for wooden products. I’ll take hardwood flooring over any other surface, a real wood desk over glass, metal or anything else you can offer me. Decking over a lawn. And so on. Over the years, I’ve tested quite a few wooden products, including a Mac dock, a number of iPhone cases, Watch charger, Airplay speaker, USB charger and even an iPad sleeve. So when I was offered the chance to try out a wooden keyboard and trackpad, no surprise that I accepted …...

Capturing images and videos on a Smartphone is pretty common these days. Many people need to capture the best moment of their life in camera and they even invest for some of the very expensive smart phones for this. It is not always necessary that having a best-in-class camera assures quality pictures and videos. Sometime even after having the best smart phones with best cameras, one cannot assure the same. If you are an Android user, you must check out MOCR....

Both will feature 4K Ultra HD and HDR picture quality. While they both provide the same high-level picture quality, the Premiere+ adds a voice remote with TV power and volume buttons.

Kelly Marie Tran has talked about the difficulties of filming her scenes with Leia (via old footage of Carrie Fisher) for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Many critics and everyday viewers alike have criticized The Rise of Skywalker for sidelining Tran’s character, Rose Tico, limiting her to a mere 76 seconds of screen time after The Last Jedi set her up to play a lead role in the film. Co-writer Chris Terrio has since come out and explained that Tran shot a number of additional scenes where Rose worked alongside Leia for the Resistance....

Rockstar Games released a new digital games launcher earlier today on PC, and is offering Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for free to people who download the new client for a limited time. Digital game launchers and digital distribution services have become a talking point in the industry ever since the Epic Games Store began accumulating high-profile timed exclusives, forcing consumers to add the distribution platform’s client to their downloaded programs in order to access more content....
