Today I was trying to send a direct message to a friend. Included was a bit.ly link to a page I needed him to see. For some reason, Twitter kept saying there was an error and cannot send the DM. After checking his page to make sure he was still following me and sending a couple test DMs successfully, I
Last year I purchased 4 10,000 mah Anker External Batteries for CES. The team used them to power our Mifi's for 18 hours a day.. This was one of my better purchases in 2012 as they where life savers and really did a lot of heavy lifting in keeping not only the Mifi's charged but also our devices. The folks
Apple's a master at the complete end-to-end user experience and has elevated product packaging to an art form. Tech companies aren't the only ones at this; I recently ordered some swim shorts from Orlebar Brown and this nondescript box arrived in the post.

Upon receipt I went through the setup instructions and by far it was simplest setup of any Wifi Cam I have owned the camera was live and
This is the first time ever I have received a review unit for a product where I went and immediately out and purchased something to allow me to complete the review so obviously I was pretty excited. The folks at Akitio sent me a SSD dual drive bay external storage device "Thunderbolt certified" for both "PC and MAC" that connects
The folks at NewTrent send me the PowerPak Extreme NT-120R 12,000 mah two port power pack to review. When I received it I knew I faced a special challenge with this one. The powerpak xtreme is built like a tank and my everyday use of it would not suffice. This past weekend my daughter participated in a JROTC Warrior challenge
Having trouble getting a date? There's a new dating app called Carrot that has a unique suggestion of something you could try. Bribe someone to go out with you. I'm not making that up. It literally says “Bribe Your Way to a Date” on the Carrot website. Carrot is a mobile app that was created by Brandon Wade. He's the

Facebook announced that it is going to allow teens more options when it comes to privacy. This affects Facebook users who are between the ages of 13 and 17. Previously, when a teenager joined Facebook, his
With the biggest enticement of upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1 being the return of the ill-fated start button, Microsoft has released the upgrade version of software. Navigating to the Windows page will get you to the download link. The only way you will get the download link (at this time) is if you are on a machine with Windows 8
