Stampede review: Set Your Monitor Free with the Ergotech Freedom Arm
Apple's LED Cinema Display is the most elegantly designed monitor that I've used. The clean lines, aluminum build, and futuristic look help it stand out from the sea of cheap and plastic competitors. But like a lot of Apple products, it isn't without its flaws. Aside from the annoyingly reflective screen, my biggest issue with the monitor is its stand. The stand on the Cinema Display...
7 Great Gift Ideas For Mother's Day
Not to knock that macaroni portrait from third grade, but isn’t it time Mom got something she can actually use? Well, our chance to thrill her is coming up once again. Mother’s Day will be here in just under two weeks.

Reach For the Sky: iPhone 5 Case Boasts External Antenna For Wi-Fi Signal Boost
Wi-Fi problems can be caused by myriad things. Sometimes it’s a weak signal from the router. Other times, it’s an issue with the device itself. That’s no surprise. Phones have gotten slimmer, with less room for trifling things like — oh, I don’t know — ANTENNAS. And then there’s the fundamental fact that users are actually intended to hold these devices, which can impede reception. One...
Macworld 2013: Notes From The Field
Tooling around the Macworld show floor in San Francisco, I can’t help but feel a strange sensation. I think it’s sadness. This year’s Macworld/iWorld arrived much like others in recent years. Usually there’s some attention-getting headliners, several sessions exploring different aspects of i-usage, and an exhibit hall bursting with iOS/Mac accessories and apps. And this year’s show is...

The story begins with an interesting turn of events by a company located in the far away land of Cupertino, where new versions of popular products both thrilled and irritated the masses in the village of iOS. Indeed, one of the best and worst features of the new iPod touch, iPhone 5, iPad Mini and iPad with Retina Support is that little 8-pin...
Lytro Light-Field Camera Adds Manual Controls, New Colors and Accessories
Lytro’s buzzworthy light-field camera got a snazzy new update that adds some much-wanted new manual controls, colors and accessories. The controls — Shutter Speed, ISO Sensitivity, Neutral Density (ND) Filter, and Auto Exposure (AE) Lock — “give Lytro photographers the opportunity to take control of the exposure in a scene,” says Eric Cheng, Lytro’s director of photography. These...
Stampede review: Tiffen Steadicam Smoothee for iPhone
The iPhone 4S is blessed with the best still image and video quality in the smartphone world, but its wafer-thin, diminutive stature causes major problems for more serious photographers and videographers. It's so easy to capture beautiful 720p HD videos that look like they were shot from within the confines of a rock tumbler. Yes friends, smartphone camera jitter is one of the leading...
Stampede review: Kogeto Dot
The Kogeto Dot by itself is a curious looking iPhone add-on. Designed to attach almost like a protective case, the Dot's bulbous orb allows users to capture video in a single 360-degree panoramic shot. It's basically like Google's Street View, but for videos. What is the What? Using the Dot is simple. Snap it onto the back of your iPhone 4/4S, download the Looker app, and you're ready...
