Community + Loo = CLOO’

I don’t know about you, but I have this obsession with toilets. I do know that when you have to go, you have to go. But there is still something about public toilets that makes you NOT want to even step inside one. Especially in countries which are developing (or underdeveloped or third world, depending on how politically correct you are).

If you feel the same way about the comfort room (understand it or not, that’s how it is called in my neck of the woods), then you just might understand what was going on in the minds of the guys who created this new app called CLOO’. [Read more…] about Community + Loo = CLOO’

Are You Always Connected?

by

So how much do you spend your time using technology and the gadgets that you have? Before you even answer that, you might as well mentally list down the devices that you use on a daily basis.

Mobile phone? Check.
Laptop/Computer? Check.
Mp3 player? Check.
Tablet? Check. (Maybe.)

Did I miss anything else? I guess that the average person would have at least two of those four devices. Some may have devices that have multiple functions. Whatever the case may be, I am willing to bet that you will be able to relate to the statistics shown in the infographic that Online Schools has created. ((OnlineSchools)) Yup, it’s all about being connected, wired, or whatever you want to call it. [Read more…] about Are You Always Connected?

Are you the kind of klutz who is bound to drop his phone at least once within the first few weeks – not to mention the other times after that? Do you miss the sturdiness of the old Nokia and Motorola “brick” phones that used to be the cool mobile devices?

I do know I miss the sturdiness of those phones, but I cannot say that I miss the rest of the user experience. One thing is for sure – I have learned long ago to be very careful with the phones they roll out these days. It’s not like I can afford to replace a phone every few months!

If your lifestyle or job involves a lot of physical activity and high risk of losing grip of that mobile phone, though, you might want to consider the world’s toughest phone. I know we hear all about tough phones every day, but the Sonim XP3300 Force is officially the best one in its category. Ask the guys over at the Guinness World Records – they have tested the Sonim XP3300 Force themselves and deem it worthy to be called the toughest phone in the planet.

Dolphin Browser Hits the App Store for FREE

by

What browser do you use on your mobile device? I think I am one of the perfect users for the iPhone because I don’t really look for much in terms of customizing my settings and apps. For example, I am perfectly content with Safari for mobile browsing as it works – and that is all I really need!

From what I hear from Android users, though, the ability to change little details is what gives their devices the edge. If you are an Android user, then you may already be using the Dolphin browser, which has impressed many. Yesterday, iPhone users got treated to the first release of the Dolphin browser in the App Store. I just checked it out myself and look what I found!

From the Flip Cam to Grilled Cheese

I have always been curious about the Flip camcorder. It was rather popular, and it seemed like a very handy thing to have with you wherever you go. The only reason I didn’t buy one is that I didn’t feel the need to spend more money on another gadget. Now the product line has been killed, to the dismay of many. (I don’t know what the situation is in your area, but here in my city, I can still see Flips at the stores.)

Anyhow, I had stopped following news about this product a long time ago, but I couldn’t resist when I saw a piece at Business Insider about Jonathan Kaplan, the founder of Flip. (Granted, the product line was shut down under Cisco and not Kaplan’s management.) So anyhow, in case any of you are wondering what Kaplan has been busy with since he and Flip parted ways, this is it: grilled cheese. [Read more…] about From the Flip Cam to Grilled Cheese

Finding the perfect gift for the geek in your life may be a difficult task, especially if that geek has everything he needs or wants. But if your geek can’t get enough of Star Trek (in spite of the several costumes he or she has in the closet for special occasions), then here is the best thing that you can get. Even if his or her birthday is not coming up any time soon, giving a gift for no reason at all is always a good idea.

Enter the new limited edition of the classic board game Monopoly. Star Trek Klingon edition. It really can’t get any better than that for Trekkies, can it? [Read more…] about Klingon Monopoly
