Honey, I Shrunk the Dongle – Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000
Microsoft introduced its BlueTrack Technology in 2008 claiming that its breakthrough technology would allow for users to use mice having BlueTrack on just about any surface (just not glass or reflective surfaces). I decided to put that to the test in this quick review of the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000. I have reviewed several mice and there are truly…

Find Your Way with the Magellan RoadMate 1470
The last gadget that I'm going review right before Father's Day is upon us (see my other Father's Day reviews here) is something that every Dad would love to receive. But heck, if you are reading this review after the "magical" day, just know that you can bring a smile to any dad's face and even a tear to his…

Sennheiser’s MM 50 iP Headphones are Music to my Ears
I have been using the Apple-issued iPhone headphones for over 2 years. Only for a brief period did I use some Sony Headphones with an adapter for the microphone. The Sony's got a bit beaten up in my daily transportation routine so I was back to my standard issue Apple headphone. Music sounded great, clear, clean and crisp...that is, until…

iPevo Kaleido R7 – A Higher-Tech, WiFi-Connected Digital Picture Frame
One of the biggest sellers for Father's Day in recent years has been digital picture frames. I got one a few years ago and it's sitting on my desk, scrolling through the same set of great pictures as when I first got it. I haven't gotten around to changing the picture set, mainly because that would mean I would have…

A Mouse for the Rest of Us – Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000
I have big hands and big feet, you know what that means, right? You guessed it, big shoes and computer mice that just feel too small when you use them. That is, until I tried a Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000. At almost twice the height of regular mice, the 6000 truly makes those of us with large hands…

Throw Away Your Remotes and Get Just One: The Universal Remote Control R50
I have got an exercise for you. Go around your house and gather up all of the remote controls. I came up with about 15-20. I think that my family would fall apart without their remotes, so it is pretty bad for us to lose one. Also, we seem to have remotes for things that we no longer own. I…

Microsoft and Family – LifeCam VX-5500 & Microsoft Office 2008
When you think about Microsoft, the first thing that comes to your mind is probably not Family. If you are like me, Microsoft software rules your computer at your office and runs the infrastructure there as well. Microsoft has done quite well in securing the business space from desktop productivity tools like Office to BackOffice systems that get your email…

Slingbox PRO-HD: Unboxing and What’s Inside
Unboxing is always the most fun when you get a new gadget. Since I just love getting new devices, I frequently find myself in the position of either being torn between ripping open the packaging and quickly setting up what ever the new technology (much like a kid), or that of being a more rational adult, one that realizes that…
