While there was a bit of TiVo news today, I don’t have much more to say than this… and would rather focus on the tangible. Such as a TiVo 802.11g wireless adapter and window cling 3-pack that I uncovered during some late spring summer solstice cleaning. They don’t do much good collecting dust in a … Read more
After CES I was pretty fired up about the possibility of a femtocell magicJack – a gadget to potentially route some of our cellular voice commutations over the Internet, thereby saving carrier minutes. The technical details were murky, but the concept seemed compelling. So I reached out to magicJack’s PR team and insisted they get one out to … Read more
TiVo kindly overnighted the new Wireless N Network Adapter ($90) for a ZNF unboxing and giveaway. Unlike their 802.11g USB TiVo adapter, this is more of a “network bridge” in a pretty sleek package.

I skinned a buddy’s Droid with some urban camouflage ($15), while she skinned her netbook with the dastardly Duke Blue Devils ($20). Our results were a bit mixed. The Droid skin job … Read more
ZNF reader Larry C recently inquired about the HD Radio reception from Best Buy’s Insignia NS-HD01 portable ($50): what is the range of reception – hopefully good clear sound within 50-75 mile radius And I’d glad he brought this up. Because only after writing my mostly positive review did I learn how bad the HD … Read more
