Touchscreen devices are fantastic... until you try to get detailed with a finger drawing. It's too fat. It's always too fat. You just can't get the precise lines you want with pointer and we don't like it. So we bought a stylus. It's still fat, or the nib broke off, or you have to push down really hard to get the iPad ... continue reading
The last time we tried to use a pressure sensitive device on the iPad we ended up with ink everywhere and a broken iPad. No notes, no appointments and no sweet car drawings were created in the process, only a stupid experiment gone awry. Ok, so we didn't actually use a pen on the iPad, but we've thought about it. Until ... continue reading
For a no-frills flask that's perfect to toss in your bag when you're out camping or exploring, turn to Stanley. The classic brand has been crafting solid, well-made food and drink gear since 1913. Their latest flask is the first in the Adventure Series which is aimed at being both essential and rugged. With more grip ... continue reading
Rocketfish, otherwise known as the Best Buy house brand, doesn't make too many new-fangled gadgets and doohickeys that you haven't seen before. But since they have a name like Best Buy behind them, what they can do is make all the stuff you were already thinking about buying for a fraction of the price that anyone ... continue reading
If you need proof that video games don't always prepare you for real-life situations, go pick up a gun and fire it like you would in Grand Theft Auto or grab a football and try flinging it around like you would in Madden. Wait, you're not Payton Manning? These things take some training outside of building up your ... continue reading
So many of the products we find are simple in premise. We see them and think, "Dammit, why didn't we think of a portable computer so we could swim in gold coins?" Then it quickly dawns on us, even if we had that brilliant flash in our skulls, we wouldn't have a clue how to begin making it. Then we stumble across ... continue reading
You've probably already heard of MAD Magazine. Everyone's favorite satirical magazine is now available like all your other favorite paper mags (GQ, Esquire, etc.)... on your iPad! Check out some of the goodies that MAD has to offer for free and buy individual issues or whole subscriptions right from the app. Now you ... continue reading
You've got your iPhone and your iPad, but outside of handing one off to somebody and playing a few rounds of Draw Something, the two products don't do much mingling. They live their separate blissful lives of entertaining you every waking second of your life. With Galileo, you can pair the two for far greater results ... continue reading
If you were to write a list of all the potentially manly things a person could do, reading a cookbook would probably not be on it. Outside of gramma's secret cheesecake recipe (which you've never been able to get quite right), the solution to any cooking queries is normally just to add more bacon. The Better Bacon ... continue reading
With all the handheld gadgets we own and time we spend staring at them, we probably will evolve into some sort of craned-neck species. Human candy canes. If you're looking for one audio system for them all, there's the OnBeat Xtreme from JBL. It docks your entire Apple catalog (iPhone, iPod and iPad) and can also ... continue reading
Pat LaFrieda is a man that knows his meat. Pat LaFrieda Wholesale Meat Purveyors has been in business since 1922 (it was originally co-founded by his grandfather) and supplies a lot of those restaurants in New York that are too pricey for most of us to ever attend. Point is, the butcher knows a thing or two about the ... continue reading
Outside of the cool gadgets, Minority Report was an almost completely forgettable film. The dialog was bad and the acting was worse, but everyone wanted a touch screen computer they could swipe things across when it came out... and now everyone has iPads. That hard part is already done and all you're left with is figuring ... continue reading
Once you hit a certain age (30 plus or minus five years for most of us), it's not really ok to gather around a plastic folding table with red Solo cups filled with domestic piss water and see who gets drunk the fastest. We'll never turn down a game of flippy cup or beer pong, but we also can't get away with having ... continue reading
When Apple first rolled out the iPad, we immediately knew we'd be shelling out the extra cash for the 64 gig model. Sure, there was a very good chance that was far more storage than we'd need, but we were quite aware we'd be cramming that thing with a ton of videos. Letting that audio and video sit idly by is not ... continue reading
Darts has always struck us as an odd bar game. It's not because we don't like playing—we love to—but because sharp objects and alcohol don't seem to mesh. No time is this more evident then when you're walking over to the chalkboard to update the score and a dart comes inches from your face courtesy of your friend ... continue reading
You've probably even surprised yourself with how much you use your iPad for. At first you thought, "I'll play a few games, use it a bit for work, maybe watch a movie or two on it," and then a month later, you're sitting on the couch having gone a day without eating because you can't put the damn thing down. For all ... continue reading
