At the moment, there is so much gossip about the 3rd generation iPhone, which Apple is supposed to be announcing at their annual World Wide Developer Conference.  With all the new goodies that will be in it; video recording, push notification, faster 3G, etc. you can also count on something else; a battery that lasts half of what Apple claims it to be. That’s where Richard Solo comes into play. Read More →

After you take photos from your digital camera and videos from your camcorder, where does it all go?  Most people dump their photos in iPhoto if they have a Mac, or some folder if they have a pc.  For their videos, it is basically the same.  While you can edit your videos and make it look good, there really isn’t any enjoyment in watching your videos & slideshows if you have to sit in the office like a bunch of geeks to watch your media on a tiny computer screen.  Thankfully, Seagate looks to change all that as smooth as possible with its FreeAgent Theater HD Media Player.  It is basically a high-definition media player that will allow you to play all your media on your Seagate portable hard drives on a monitor or television.

I have finally found a golf game that has great gameplay as well as beautiful 3-D graphics, Lets Golf!
When I first played the game it instantly reminded me of the golf game in Wii Sports, the music was very similar.
The game begins with a very nice intro showing a couple of golfers hitting the golf ball one-by-one as it soars in to different golf courses.

Overall Rating: 4.3 stars

If your a real Apple fanboy, you are probably picky about appearance.  Thankfully, Seagate released their new Seagate FreeAgent Desk specially for the Mac!  It looks beautiful in my office because the white stand, and modern silver drive almost mocks my iMac, and you don’t feel like it is clutter.  The stand raises the drive about an inch so it can cool through the vent holes, but I found another benefit, if I spill a glass of water, etc. the stand will only get wet, not the drive.  Overall, the drive is a nice size for an external drive, but the stand is not removable! That means that you can’t stack multiple drives on top of each other, or lay it flat. Read More →
