If the most-often used question when it comes to technology is simply, "Why?," then the most common answer has to be, "Why not?" That's what one developer must've been thinking when he figured out how to run Windows 95, Microsoft's cutting-edge mid-90's operating system, on an Apple Watch. For those too young to remember, Windows 95 was Microsoft's much-hyped successor to the
There comes a time in the life of any moderately successful platform when that platform becomes big enough and popular enough that cottage industries begin to crop up around it. The most common representative of this phenomenon is the consultant; someone who claims to have enough expertise on that platform that they should be paid for their advice. Most of
Ride-sharing service Uber agreed to settle a lawsuit brought against them by the National Federation of the Blind. The suit contended that Uber was engaging in discriminatory practices by refusing to pick up blind passengers with service dogs. The settlement is still being reviewed by a judge and pending approval. The terms of the settlement force Uber to notify all of

My little girl loves playing outside but I've noticed over the years that many of her outdoor toys become damaged and discoloured from the elements of sun, wind and rain. While small toys can be put away in the shed, larger items have to stay outside to be battered about. Kev and the Folding Playhouse may have the solution for
As many of you know in 2004 I had a very serious back injury which resulted in steel rods, screws and assorted hardware supporting my L1 Vertebrae, which essentially got smashed like a pancake during a swimming pool accident. I suffer today from chronic back pain, and I refuse to medicate. Through monthly Shiatsu treatments I am able to keep
The LG GPad X 10.1 is probably the largest Android Tablet I have reviewed. I used this one over the course of two weeks in ways most people use tablets today, playing games, watching videos, responding to email, and interacting on social media. It was a true pleasure to lay in bed with this tablet and kick on a movie.
Easily the best thing at Gadget Show Live, the Supermarinovation x2 is a "wearable personal underwater propulsion device" but it's much more fun thinking of the x2 as an underwater jetpack. With only three main components - two arm-mounted thruster units and a battery backpack - the x2 brings Superman-like flight to swimmers and free divers. Shown as part of the
I live on California's Central Coast, just about halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. You'd think being in a location like this would make it easy to get to either of these urban centers. Unfortunately, that just isn't true. The process is somewhat manageable by car, but that's not always an option. There's a local bus service that does
Travelling with children is akin to planning a military operation at times, with tons of gear and provisions catering for every eventuality. Looking to simplify maneuvers in the field, Moochew is a collapsible baby seat that doubles up as a cooler bag or lunch box. Taking part in the British Inventors' Project at Gadget Show Live, Arun tells me more
So tonight I tried the new Facebook Live feature and had Facebook - YouTube - Livestream all live at the same time . To get the Facebook quality up where I want it I need to make a couple of cable changes, but overall it's not bad. Facebook stream is not as good a quality as YouTube, but I am
Only a slightly bigger than a credit card, the Azoi Kito+ is a personal health tracking device that measures ECG, heart rate (pulse), blood oxygen, skin temperature and respiration rate. I've seen the Kito tracker a couple of times now and every time I see it, I'm impressed that such a small device can gather so much data for so
