August has been a household name in the smart lock industry for many years, serving as one of the most popular options for people who want the benefits of a smart lock without replacing their existing lock. Over the summer, August unveiled its new Wi-Fi Smart Lock that is significantly smaller than its previous smart lock products and features integrated WiFi connectivity. There’s also HomeKit support, which is a must-have for any smart home accessory I use nowadays....

I’m always in the market for new smart home stuff. Just about every room in my house has some gadget or accessory to make things a bit easier. Recently, I moved this smart home mission outside with the addition of Ring Video Doorbell, but now I’m tackling the front door with the August Smart Lock… I’ve always been interested in smart locks, but there was something about August that caught my eye from the moment it was announced....

Winter is officially here in the Northern Hemisphere, and that means it’s cold enough in a lot of locations to start wearing gloves. Recently I’ve been testing out Mujjo’s Double Layered Touchscreen Gloves, a great way to a stay warm without giving up iPhone usability. Mujjo is well-known for making high quality iPhone cases, and iPad/Mac sleeves, but it also produces a sharp lineup of touchscreen gloves. My colleague Ben reviewed Mujjo’s Leather Touchscreen Gloves a while back, and I wanted to go hands-on with the more affordable, wool Double Layer Touchscreen Gloves ($35)....

Professional photographers rarely used iPhone cameras five years ago, but images produced by the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are – under the right circumstances – indistinguishable from dedicated point-and-shoots. The one thing iPhones always lack is adjustable lenses, so Olloclip has been remedying that omission with accessories including the 4-in-1 Lens kits for iPhone 6/6 Plus (review) and iPhone 5/5s. At the 2015 CES, it debuted a second option for the iPhone 6/6 Plus called the Telephoto and Circular Polarizing Lens ($100), which is based upon but also different from the previously impressive version for the iPhone 5/5s....

Success can be a tricky thing to handle. Of course, everyone hankers for it, but once you do get it, following it up can be a tough proposition. And that, we think, is what Samsung is discovering with the Galaxy S series of devices. The first Galaxy S made waves because of its excellent hardware and superb display – one could say that it was the first device that really made the most of the AMOLED display....

Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to try out a number of Satechi’s USB hubs in my effort to combat my growing need to wire in more stuff to my Mac’s 4 USB ports. While wireless is often more convenient and downright necessary on laptops to have a good experience, I still enjoy the speed and reliability of a wired connection on my desktop setup. To have a completely ergonomic experience and avoid plugging and unplugging things, a USB hub of some sort is definitely needed....

Draw the curtains, lock the door, and arm yourself to the teeth, the boogeyman is coming. We all love a good scare, and what better way to give yourself the willies than by watching a good modern horror. Bogged down in reboots, remakes, and rehashes, the horror landscape can sometimes seem clogged with more of the same; however, with a resurgence in innovative films, the genre is bloodier and bolder than ever before....

I’ve long been a fan of ScotteVest products: vests with a ridiculous number of pockets to hold all your technology; check out my detailed review of one of these for chapter-and-verse. The short version is that by putting all your tech into your clothing, you can get around the often-absurd limits some airlines impose on hand-baggage. Plus you can carry a lot of tech around town without the hassle of a bag....

The exhilarating open-world action role-playing game from Tripwire Interactive, Maneater, has released last week for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 20th May 2020. Allowing you to step into the role of a vengeful female bull shark intent on taking down the shark hunter Scaly Pete, the game invites you to unleash terror along the coastline of Port Clovis in a way that has been described as a “shark version of GTA....

There are a number of celebrities who need to join The Real Housewives. After all, the Bravo franchise has become a pop-culture monolith, and continues to make reality television superstars out of nearly everyone who appears on its shows. Ever since The Real Housewives of Atlanta debuted October 7, 2008, the show was an instant hit with fans. The largely African-American cast resonated with viewers who long clamored for diversity on the network....

A fire has broken out in the forest that was the inspiration for AA Milne’s location in his celebrated Winnie the Pooh books. Fans of one of the most recognizable children’s book series will be shocked and saddened at the news of the fire that has claimed an area of the famous wood that has become a part of the literary landscape. Ashdown Forest, situated in East Sussex, England, was a place familiar with the famous children’s author, who wrote his much-loved books in the 1920s while living in Hartfield, close to the area that has now been claimed by fire....

Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm in 2012 has given rise to a new era for the multimedia Star Wars property that so far includes a third Episode movie trilogy, live-action spinoffs, video games and a second animated TV series in Star Wars Rebels, in addition to several novels and comic books that further fill in gaps in the modern Star Wars canon. Rebels in particular examines life in the Star Wars galaxy in the aftermath of Emperor Palpatine’s rise to power and the formation of a unified Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire (seen on the big screen most recently in last year’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story)....

With the launch of iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 pro-Max, Apple not only brought in a long name set for the devices but actually brought in some unique features for the device as well. The one feature that we are talking about is the QuickTake feature. What this feature lets you do is that you can take a quick video with your iPhone. In fact, you might think of this feature as “Stories” features on Instagram or Snapchat....

Alright, so it looks like that you are someone who has recently bought a Tecno Phantom 8. Well, you might have bought a second hand Tecno Phantom 8. Maybe you didn’t wanna spend too much on an Android Device. Whatever the case might be, the first thing that you did after receiving the device is Factory Data Reset. This is simple and obvious. You are doing a fresh start with this device and would not need any data from the previous owner of the device....

Digitimes recently reported that their supplier-based contacts say that Apple is currently prototyping two versions of the third-generation iPad. The site says the iPad 3’s are codenamed J1 and J2 and Apple has not yet decided which model to launch. Based on code strings I have seen (shown in screenshot above), the J2 iPad mentioned in the Digitimes report is definitely an Apple device. Based on Digitimes accurately predicting the iPad 3’s codename, it seems at least somewhat plausible that the site’s attached rumors of a Retina Display and a dual LED-bar system to power this ultra-high-resolution display are accurate (or at least planned possibilities)....

A trailer for Resident Evil 2 bonus mode The Ghost Survivors marks the launch of the free DLC. Following the release of Resident Evil 4 in 2005, the franchise became increasingly focused on action and explosive setpieces. Later titles would add co-op gameplay and A.I. partners, and gradually the survival horror roots of the series were forgotten. The release of Resident Evil 6 in 2012 caused Capcom to rethink this direction because while it sold well, it received mostly mixed reviews and feedback from the fanbase....

It’s been quite a while since Apple Watch came out (7 months!) and finally Apple has released an official dock accessory that might be worth a look. Maintaining typical Apple style, this watch dock is very simple… There’s really not much to it at all. Inside of the box, you’ll find the dock itself and a 2-meter Lightning cable along with some simple documentation. The good news is that the magnetic charging puck for Apple Watch is completely integrated into the dock....

With Apple announcing new MacBook Pros last week, Pad & Quill’s latest bag for MacBooks arriving at my office was perfect timing. The company makes three sizes of the Valet Luxury Laptop Bag, one that fits 11- to 13-inch MacBook Air & Pro models, one for 15-inch models, and one that offers a custom fit for Apple’s smallest notebook, the 12-inch MacBook. The bags will fit Apple’s newest MacBook Pro models as well as older models of the same size....
