Review: 1byone Smart Jump Starter, Power Bank, and Flashlight

Review: 1byone Smart Jump Starter, Power Bank, and Flashlight

Sep 16, 2015

The 1byone Multi-function Power Bank Smart Jump Starter is an incredibly well thought out product. Not only can its generous 9000mAh lithium battery jump start your vehicle’s dead battery numerous times, it can also charge even the most demanding mobile devices via its 5V 2A USB port, and even provides...

Review: Lenzies Lens Cleaner Wipes

Review: Lenzies Lens Cleaner Wipes

Sep 16, 2015

Modern TV screens (and often the surrounding bezels), glasses, smartphone screens, laptop screens, mirrors, etc., all need to be cleaned in very specific ways to avoid damage. You simply can’t use the old paper towel and Windex method. There are two basic solutions available for today’s screens and glasses, and...

Infographic: 16 Facts About Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda

Sep 14, 2015

Review: Tripmate Portable Router, NAS, and Power Bank

Review: Tripmate Portable Router, NAS, and Power Bank

Sep 14, 2015

When practical, combining certain portable products into one compact unit just makes sense. For instance, instead of carrying a separate portable battery and router, the HooToo TripMate Titan (HT-TM05) combines those functions into a single unit, while also functioning as a Network-attached storage (NAS) server. It’s really an impressive feature-set,...

Infographic – Making Mario: The Creation and Evolution of Mario

Sep 9, 2015

What follows is a rather nice infographic for Nintendo’s iconic Mario, courtesy of HalloweenCostumes.com. Personally, I’ve always found classic pixel art far more beautiful than most rendered or polygonal images, and I think this particular infographic is a great illustration of that. I particularly love the personality found in the 1983...

Magazine Hindsight (001) : Computer Gaming World, 08/1986
