Movie Review: The Hurt Locker

When you hear the title The Hurt Locker, do you think of a gritty dark horror film, or do you think of soldiers in Iraq? Not only is The Hurt Locker an amazing war story, it has 9 Academy Award Nominations, the same as Avatar. This movie is probably one of my favorites of the year and it's great because it uses very little music, which is generally necessary in making a great film. The movie follows a bad ass Sergeant named Sergeant First Class William James who disarms bombs, you already know the movie is going to be a bang.

The Best Free iPhone Voice Recognition App Ever - Siri

Personally, I am tired of having to talk to my device like it is some sort of robot — “Movies near San Fransisco, Market Street” — What if I could just ask it “What are some movies playing around me?” and it would find my location, find movies and allow me to get information, read about it, and get tickets. That would be cool, but the really amazing part is Siri’s ability to understand dialog, so when I ask “Is there any resteraunts I can eat at?” it will understand that by that point, I am in San Fransisco and I will probably want to eat close by.

t3ch Review: Isis Dei Netbook Sleeves

Product: Isis Dei Netbook 7” - 9”, 10” - 12” Sleeves 

What is says it does: A notebook sleeve serves one purpose: keep your notebook, or in this case, your netbook safe from scratches and the outside world. 

My experience: I have myself a Dell Mini 9 which incidentally has a white backing. In other words, nicks and scratches show up pretty easily if I’m not careful with it. I’ve had this particular netbook for a year now and I’ve taken well care of it, and I’ve had the Isis Dei netbook sleeves for a good 2 weeks or so. After nestling my mini computing pal in the 7 - 9” sleeve I threw it into my messenger bag and took them both out on the town - more like went to the park, went to other people’s houses, and so on to give it some track experience […]

Video: Apple iPad Tablet Explained

Lead Editors Brandon Davenport, Nick Mahar and Ricardo Trejo take some quality time to tear apart the iPad and stop along the way to point out some of the ways it can fin into life. Ricardo is in love with the iPad and has been defending it ever since it was launched, he says "it could be some peoples first experiences with the internet" and he feels it is a vital participant in the on-the-go Apple Line up.

Nick on the other hand wants to give Mr. Jobs a firm smack in the face and say "What the hell were you thinking? iPad!?". Nick thinks this is "not a ground breaking product" and believe it or not, he is an Apple Fanatic! I on the other hand I see this in a neutral fashion, on the outside looking in, amazed by its beauty and simplicity, but still flabbergasted at how many different female toiletry products I can call it.

Video: the Best Twitter app for iPhone - Twitbird

the TwitBird iPhone and iPod Touch app

This is simply supposed to be a great Twitter client for the iPhone or iTouch and should allow you to read and tweet with ease. Before I downloaded this app, I stared at the “download this app” screen in the app store and I thought to myself, “do I really need another Twitter app, or do I just have a weird fetish?”. After I tapped “Download now” purely out of curiosity, I soon realized after 10 minutes of using the app I decided to delete all my other Twitter apps and give this one a page all to its own.

t3ch Review: Griffin Smart Talk iPod/iPhone Mic Adapter

Product: Griffin Smart Talk iPod/iPhone Mic Adapter

What it says it does: Offer you the same functionality that the current default Apple earbuds come packaged in with; Be able to toggle your iPod controls with the touch of a button, and also use the built in microphone to answer calls without having to unplug your non-Apple headphones

My experience: The device does exactly what it advertises but with a few snags. You plug in your headphones into the Smart Talk and then plug that into your iPod of choice, including iPhones. From this point on though it’s a bit of a mess, literally.
