The Compendium of Photography Apps on my iPhone
April 1, 2012 by Carlos Eduardo · 10 Comments
The iPhoneography bug has bitten me hard. Frankly I’m very surprised how easily you can create some amazing pictures with the iPhone 4S to the point that at times I feel a photo-op would be better served with my iPhone than with my main interchangeable lens camera. Part of what has transformed this view for [...]
Amazon New Kindle ‘Official’ Cover / Case Review for Wi-Fi only model
December 4, 2011 by Carlos Eduardo · 22 Comments
As per my recent Kindle review, I did find that the Kindle needed protection for the screen when in a bag so I decided to look into cases. All the cases except the official one from Amazon had little elastic straps to hold the kindle in, which, in my opinion, marred the look of the [...]

In my experience with the original iPad, reading in bed was made easier when you had the iPad within a case where the back of the iPad was covered so that it wouldn’t slip from your hands, for the Alu surface can be quite slippery and cold to the touch. With the launch of [...]

Sometimes solutions to problems are as simple as buying a sticker. In this case, the problem is that Mac Mini’s come with a plastic bottom that is like teflon when you have it on a nice smooth AV mount or with Mac Mini’s one on top of the other. The thing just slides all [...]
