It makes me sick to my stomach just typing it. This entire deal makes me angry. As someone who would like to see Apple prosper (please do not interpret that to mean I’m a fangirl) I just can’t wrap my head around this deal. I will admit, I purchased a pair of craptastic Beats earbuds recently (read: within the past year) and was gravely disappointed. How could headphones cost this much and sound so horrible? At that point I ended any dealings with Beats. So when I heard that Apple purchased Beats…it was just a sad day.
As a self-proclaimed geek, technology tends not to scare/intimidate/worry me. I research prior to purchase, and once I buy the research intensifies (because tips and tricks are important) as does the hunt for accessories. Wash, rinse, repeat. But my routine needed to be altered when I received my invite to join the Google Glass Explorer program. At first I was SUPER excited for the opportunity and found a way to afford the $1500 (not including accessories) price tag. I was excited and I let that cloud my judgement and alter my regular tech requirement routine. I didn’t finish my research prior to buying (the invite expired in 48hrs) but I did have questions and called the Glass helpline (they also extended my expiration date by 4 days). While I did get some basic questions answered, I had no idea what I was in store for once I finally received my Glass.
Tax Day (4.15.14) was the day to become a Glasshole part of Google’s Glass Explorer program. For a mere $1500 any one was able to purchase Glassware without an invite from The Goog. The Explorer Bundle included a Glass headset, frames (optional), a mono earbud, your choice of sunglass frame, charger and a pouch. Because most of us tech geeks already wear regular glasses, Google has made very basic hipster-like frames (offered for free yesterday, regular retail cost *read: what I paid* $225), with a special cut out for the Glass head set. Lenses for these frames can be ordered by searching through Google’s Preferred Provider Network of eyecare professionals. These providers will custom fit your Glassware to your frames enhancing your experience (Glass lenses are only available at a prescription up to +/-4). There is also an option (in NY or LA) to go to a Glass Boutique and have your Glassware fitted professionally which includes a short tutorial on all that things your new tech can do.

Amazon announced their new stream box, on Wednesday, beautifully named Fire TV. For $99 this compact set-top box boasts a Qualcomm quad core CPU, 8GB of internal storage, 2GB of RAM and dual band, dual antenna WiFi (because no one likes waiting for their movies to buffer). All you need is an HDMI cable and a high definition TV and you’re good to go! According to Amazon the specs alone makes it roughly 3x faster than both Apple TV and the Roku 3. Fire TV packs alot of…fire power (I know I know but I couldn’t resist).
When it comes to protecting your device, the first name mentioned/recognized is usually Otterbox, but the Pelican ProGear Vault Series Case for the iPad Mini is not only a major player but offers an attractive alternative to the aforementioned.
Gaiam (pronounced “guy-um”) is widely known as the go-to source for all things yoga; from bedding to toe-less yoga socks (yes, such a thing does exist). So imagine my complete shock to discover they also have a line of tech accessories available for iOS and Samsung devices.
I must admit, I was not a fan of wood on phones. Call me old fashioned but I like my tech uni-formally wrapped in some man-made material. I never understood the whole wood-backing craze…
…until now.
Kickstarter is an awesome way to discover new tech and after a successful venture with LimeAde I decided to show my support to another venture and invest in Fuz Design’s Everdock: Universal Dock.
While I am a proud owner of an HTC One, I am disappointed in the lack of accessories on the market for my handset. From docks to cases, I was having a hard time finding something that catches my eye so when I came across Everdock, I was delighted. This dock touts itself as universal catering to all devices by simply switching out the cord via the cable adapters.

As an HTC One owner (carrier locked) who has recently upgraded to KitKat, I was very upset to learn that I could not get the Nexus 5 lock screen on my device without rooting it (yes I thought this update was the holy grail and would turn my phone into some super-human device that looked exactly like a vanilla Android device, yeah I spazzed all the way out). So for about two days straight I scoured the Play Store for lock screen alternatives that would mimic the Nexus 5 until I finally came across SlideLock. SlideLock is a lock screen notifier replacement by Silver Finger Software who some of you may know from NotifierPro and coordinating themes in the Play store.
