Record year for movie industry

The MPAA has claimed that piracy has ruined the movie industry yet this year was record setting. 3d was a huge part of why this year was successful and I think the MPAA should think of more innovation than combat piracy.

Ubergizmo reviews the Dell Streak 7 tablet

Ubergizmo has posted a review of the Dell Streak 7 Tablet on their site HERE

It comes down to your tolerance to pricing and usage model: If you *really* want an Android Tablet now and if you need a small (7”) 4G Tablet, and if can’t afford the Galaxy Tab, the Dell Streak 7 could be an option to consider — that’s a lot of “if+and”. In case you don’t care about Android and the smaller size, the iPad will provide a much better user experience.

EcoGear Palila Backpack Quick Review

The Recycle Series is Ecogear’s testament to the functionality of recycling. The rugged and sleek Palila backpack has all the essential components for the modern individual, with the additional bonus of being made of RPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) water bottles. Recycle, reduce, reuse has never looked this good.


This is a nice Backpack for hiking or just for use for school. The Backpack is made of recycled water bottles. The styling has a cool tech feel to it. The Backpack has two large compartments and then two smaller compartments. On both sides you will find room for water bottles. Overall a solid backpack for a cheap price.

Amazon Kindle Wifi Version Quick Review

Every is talking about Tablets but the Kindle is still the best Ebook Reader. At $139 it's also the most affordable. Now I have tested the iPad, Nook Color and other Tablets but they are not good Ebook Readers. In fact I was sitting next to a person reading a magazine on the Nook Color and glare was really bad. E-Ink is still king for reading.







The new Kindle is Wifi only but it's much sleeker and better looking than ever. The E-Ink technology is the closest to reading a regular book. The E-Ink does'nt tire your eyes like LCD does.


I highly recommend you buy the Amazon Kindle Wifi if your looking for a dedicated Ebook Reader. The price is just right for avid readers.

Rogue Wallet - Stainless Steel Front Pocket Wallet with RFID protection Review

I had a chance to check out the Rogue Wallet Stainless Steel version. This wallet is made of real stainless steel fabric. In addition the wallet uses RFID protection to keep your credit card information safe.


The first thought when getting this wallet was is the steel going to make this heavy and hard in the pocket. The Stainless Steel wallet is actually thin woven stainless steel fabric that is flexible and light. Since the material used is stainless steel the wallet also double as a RFID blocking wallet from those who are trying to take your data and information. This is a front pocket wallet and is shape with Rogue's classic styling to fit the front pocket.


Overall this is a great wallet that is unique and will protect your credit card information. The 2 warranty provides assurance that this wallet is built to last. I definitely recommend to anyone who wants a cool wallet.

Avia Shuttle I Airbak Backpack Quick Review

I purchased this Airbak Backpack as I was looking for a travel bag with Airlines charging for bags now I figured carrying a Backpack would save money. This bag caught my attention due to the AirBak™ Technology. This technology was supposed to lessen the load on your back when carry heavy stuff.

The Airbak did provide cushion but I was disappointed with the Airbladder which was nothing more than an air pillow that you inflate. Also I did not like how many straps that were hanging from the bag. And lastly the bag was heavier than other comparable bags. Overall I would not recommend this backpack.

Skullcandy S2ASBZ-WZ Asym Earbuds, (White) Review

I was looking for a new pair of earphones and came upon the Skullcandy Asym Earbuds. The earphones have a cool design and came in white so bought them. The earphones retail for $39.95 but you can find them cheaper online.





The Asym Earbuds comes in matte finish white with Skullcandy logo on each earpiece. Includes is a nylon carry case and 4 ear plugs. The over ear design makes these a good choice for active use like when you go to the gym or running.


The sound on these is pretty average with a good amount bass like most Skullcandy earphones.


Overall I recommend these for runners, snowboarders and those who need earphones that don't fall out of the ear while moving. The price is right and the Skullcandy design is stylish.
