The Podium Revolution! The only desktop stand for your iPhone/iPod Touch you will ever need. Alright, sorry for the infomercial type intro but the Podium Revolution is one of the best iPhone/iPod Touch stand on the market. The stand itself comes in both white and silver both built with perfection in mind. A great finish for a great iPhone/iPod Touch Stand.

The Podium Revolution is great for just about anything you can do on your iPhone. Everything from turning your iPhone into a digital alarm clock while you are in bed. To helping you become more organized at your desk. I have noticed myself using the stand to help me keep track of daily tasks and events. Using to turn my iPhone into a digital calendar that updates automatically. If money were no object I would buy an iPod Touch and this stand just for iCal but that is a story for another day.

I highly recommend anyone interested in a great iPhone stand to click the animated image above. Overall the Podium Revolution is a great stand and great choice for anyone looking for an iPhone stand.

This post is long overdue but I am excited to be getting the opportunity to review the Xpad4Laptop’s and share my opinions

First and foremost this product does exactly what it needs to do. When using the Xpad4Laptop’s it was able to keep my HP DDv2700 series laptop up to ten degrees cooler than just sitting it on the desk.

One of the great things about this cooling pads is that it does not have any fans. It’s design is sound and allow the air to flow in and out of the laptop more naturally or how the laptop was designed.

When comparing the Xpad to other more complex cooling pads the Xpad not only out performed but also provided a more stable pad for the laptop to sit on. (Compared to the rocketfish fan cooled system.)

Overall I think this is an excellent product and recommend it to anyone looking to get a fan-less cooling pad.

As a side note I put the Xpad under my mac mini just to see and to my surprise it was able to keep the mac mini right around six degrees cooler.

P.S – View review coming soon!

Yakuake is a KDE based terminal emulator and I have to say, it’s my favourite terminal application out there! You can set it to run on startup and define a hotkey which allows you to show/hide the terminal window whenever you wish. It’s a really handy tool which has no noticeable effect on my systems performance.

It’s so much quicker than using shortcuts to Terminal. It also looks better. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was used it an action/adventure film, as in DieHard4.0 they used linux, I imagine this is next for the film industry as it does look like a “hackers tool”.

You can install Yakuake and try it for yourself by using the apt-get command:

sudo apt-get install yakuake

Yesterday I did a video on a cool service called Yammer (http://yammer.com). What Yammer allows you to do is make something similar to a twitter page for your business. In this sense this allows employees from a small, medium, or large business to collaborate just as people do on twitter.

Yammer takes it a step further than twitter and allows co-workers to post attachments and even assign roles or positions to users. I truly love this idea/concept and I can see modernized business taking this and running. In my mind this is a great way for employees from all over the nation or even globe to collaborate and share experiences that will not only help the employee learn but also help your business or organization accomplish tasks in a more efficient manner.

When I went out to buy this game I had played with a friend’s game. A few times after bringing it over my friend said he was tired of bringing it all over. I knew at that moment I needed to go out and buy it. I picked up my game at Best Buy for around $189 +tax. When I got home the unboxing was kind of complicated and confusing. Once I got it all out of the box set up was easy after I have it out of the box I had it set up in minutes. Everything is of great quality and seems very durable under normal game play. The only problem I have is the stuff takes up a good amount of room when not in use the microphone and guitar are not the problem it’s the drums. When assembled they talk up a lot of room so when planning on getting rock band 2 I would also think about how you will store it and maybe look to getting a travel case. Now over all the game play is amazing it keeps my friends and I busy for hours. If anyone is thinking about buying this go to a store and try it out. I feel that this was a great game to buy and worth every penny.

I recently purchased the Kodak Zi6 from Wal-Mart. Now when I went to purchase this video camera I knew I was going to be happy. How many pocket camcorders can you buy that shoot 720p hd and have the storage space of up to 32gigabytes. When I got the Zi6 home and took it out of the box I was very happy. The Zi6 I got from Wal-Mart came with:

 

• Zi6 Camcorder*
• 6(2*) Kodak Pre-Charged Ni-MH Camera batteries
• Kodak mini charger *
• Wrist Strap*
• HD and AV cables for hooking up to a TV*
• Camera Case
• Basic Camera Pouch*
• Mini Desktop Tripod
• Kodak Digital Device Cleaner
• Microfiber Cloth
• User Guide*
• Software*

 

Now as you can see the deal I got has lots of goodies with my Zi6. The items with the asterisks (*) by them come with the typical Zi6 Package.  When I took the Zi6 out of the box I popped in two of the batteries and started it up and was ready to shoot HD video. The only problem I noticed is that the internal memory does not hold much at all. I popped in  my 8 gigabyte SDHC card I had and was able to get about 2 hours of HD video. So I should be able to get about one hour with a 4 gigabyte SDHC card. Over all the out of box experience is very good especially the pre-charged rechargeable batteries. When it come to using this camcorder it will be great to carry in a brief case, pocket, or even purse to capture those special moments. When it comes to pulling the video off the Zi6 that’s a snap, you can just push the mirror on the front and an attached USB pops out. Or you can take the SD card out and put it in your card reader. The Zi6 in my opinion is a great camera for starting in recording video or if you’re looking to find a small camcorder to carry with you.
