Why a Privacy Filter on Your Gadgets is a Brilliant Idea

Ever catch someone looking at your screen? You know, when you feel someone’s eyeballs looking over your shoulder, turn and catch the last moment of them quickly turning away? It’s interesting to think about, really. I mean, I know I’ve done it myself to others without even meaning to. Maybe on the subway standing over someone who I quickly figure out is playing Candy Crush (people still play that?), is reading an article about “Your Cat Food Might […]

Wix Shop

Video: How to Quickly Create an Online Store (Using Wix)

There’s a lot of ways to easily make an online store nowadays. From sites directly devoted to just online shops, to plugins of all sorts for systems like WordPress, etc. there is no shortage of options. The thing is that each of these systems are usually good at one facet over others, WordPress is super robust with features that can seem overwhelming and complex to some people and has a focus on blogging/content, where as

Touchscreen on Mac

How to Give Any Laptop a Touchscreen (Video)

I like touchscreens on laptops. So much so that I have caught myself, after a long time with such a laptop, tapping at the screen of another, non-touchscreen, variety in vain. Then quickly remembering that the one I’m using doesn’t have a touchscreen, laughing at myself, and checking to see if anyone else saw me just poke at my Macbook screen. It’s not just mac either, there are plenty of other laptops like Chromebooks and

How to Use an External Graphics Card with Your Laptop (Video)

While doing the review of the Razer Blade 2016 gaming laptop, I came across the Core: an external graphics card housing made by the same company. What is an eGPU? The idea of this housing is that it allows you to plug in your Razer laptop via a Thunderbolt 2 or 3 USB-C cable and utilize any desktop graphics card you can put into the PCI slot inside as if it was inside the laptop itself. The

FCPX Render Timer

Adobe Premiere vs Final Cut Pro X (Video)

I recently did a video comparing Adobe Premiere render speeds on three of the top laptops out right now: the new Macbook Pro 15″ with Touchbar, Surface Book w/ Performance Base, and a gaming laptop by the company Razer called the Razer Blade 2016. Again, this wasn’t meant to be a laptop comparison, but instead a way of showing how these top performing laptops all handled a task that I, personally, have to do every

Nokia 3310 Battery Life

Nokia 3310: The “Brick” Is Back

You guys wanted me to find it, so I did. Nokia has relaunched their beloved Nokia 3310 circa 2000 and at that time it was known for battery life and the fact it could essentially be used to thrwat enemies, hammer in nails, basically whatever you wanted cause it would just never die. This, and its square-ish shape at the time earned it the nickname “the brick phone” and that’s about an accurate description. Back

Sony Xperia Touch Projecting

Sony Xperia Touch: A Projector That Lets You Have a Touchscreen Tablet On Any Surface

Ever since I saw the original Surface (not the tablets, it was a giant table you could use as a touchscreen oh so long time ago), I’ve always wanted a touch screen table, wall, whatever was realistically possible. Now, while that does exist, it isn’t quite what you’d call affordable. The Ideum touch screen table, for example, starts at about $10,000. Now a lot of this price comes from making large enough displays that have touch

Sony Xperia XZ Premium Specs

Sony Xperia XZ Premium: 4K HDR Display, 960 FPS Slow-Motion And Comes in Chrome

Sony announced a plethora of devices this year at MWC (again, like last year). A couple of mid-range devices called the Xperia XA1 and XA1 Ultra, and two higher-end devices called the Xperia XZs and Xperia XZ Premium. The first two are around the $300 mark and are super nice looking thanks to their displays that go all the way to the edge on either side, but they’re not terribly interesting to me (again super

Lenovo Yoga 720: A 2-in-1 w/ 16GBs of RAM, 7th Gen i7, GTX 1050, & Thunderbolt Port

After my Razer Blade review, a slick laptop with a GTX 1060 built in, and the launch of Lenovo’s new Yoga 720 2-in-1, I think we can officially say we’re in a great time for gamers (and video editors, for that matter). The Yoga 720 has some serious specs. Intel Core i7 Kabylake processor NVIDIA GTX 1050M GPU 16GBs of RAM (Optional) 4K touchscreen (Optional) 1TB SSD (Optional) JBL Speakers Fingerprint Scanner (Optional) Thunderbolt 3

LG G6

LG Launches the LG G6: Waterproof, Tiny Bezel, Google Assistant & More

Welp, it might come as less of a surprise thanks to all the leaks that we’ve been seeing, but the LG G6 is finally official. And it’s no joke. My Hands-On Video:   First up is the screen. A 5.7″ 2880 x 1440 touchscreen with a unique 18:9 ratio, in other words, it’s a bit taller than it is wide compared to more traditional 16:9 screen. Think of it as that ultrawide monitor people like

LG Watch Style Watchface

LG Watch Style Review: Cheap and Stylish (Video)

Along with the LG Watch Sport that was announced a bit ago, LG also launched the smaller, potentially more stylish and therefore aptly named, LG Watch Style. After using it for a bit, think we’re ready for a review. As with the LG Watch Sport review I just did, which you can check out here, the LG Watch Style is the other watch to launch with Android Wear 2.0, Google’s serious overhaul of their wearable

LG just launched the first watches with Android Wear 2.0, the LG Watch Sport is the larger of the two and, in case you couldn’t tell by the name, is aimed more at the more active user. After using it for a bit, I think I’m ready to give a full review of the LG Watch Sport. Android Wear 2.0 First off, the LG Watch Sport (and the LG Watch Style) are the first watches to launch

Best Editing Laptop? Macbook Pro vs Surface Book vs Razer Blade (Video)

When the new Macbook Pro was released, there was a lot of humming and hawing from the creative professional community. Essentially, everyone was a little disappointed in the power the new Macbook Pro was given. One of the more popular theories of Apple aiming for the mainstream instead of the niche of creatives that helped set them apart years before was given more fuel to burn. And, when you think about it, Apple’s most popular

Superbowl

How to Watch the Super Bowl Online (Video)

More and more of us don’t have cable. The internet has so much more content for much less money. The only time that this really becomes an issue for most people is when live events, mainly sports, are on and you can’t find them on the web. Today marks the day of the most watched US television event, the Super Bowl. So, naturally, I’m sure there’s more than a view people out there looking to find
