Want to make your Draw Something Game even Better? Get a Stylish Stylus from Targus
I few weeks ago, I was introduced to the amazingly addictive drawing and word game called Draw Something.

Shopping for Smartphones Making You Feel Dumb? It’s a Walk in the Park!
Everything is going smart these days. We have smart TVs, smart cars and the most obvious one, smart phones. What really is the meaning of "smart?" Are these items actually "intelligent" or do you have to be "smart" to use them? I would say it is a mixture of the two. "Smart" phones are probably the most intriguing of the…

Understanding Cloud Security and Mobile Platforms on Digital Nibbles Podcast #6
You really should track your digital devices, at least according to Ken Westin who is the founder of GadgetTrak. I actually agree with that.

No Longer a “CES virgin” – Thoughts After 2 Days at CES 2011: Tablets, TVs & Other Tech
In many ways, 2 days at CES 2011 (International Consumer Electronics Show) is not enough time to really absorb the show. I was only able to essentially pay only a few vendors any quality time, others were quick, short visits, and others were just walk throughs getting from one place to another. On the other hand, 2 days is completely…

Has Apple Peaked? Their Ego Sure Hasn’t!
As I prep for covering MacWorld Expo 2010, I decided to take a step back and truly think about Apple a bit more. It wasn't that many years ago that people were saying their doom was inevitable.

While I try to post 1-2 gadget reviews a week, that takes time and often I miss out on quickly discussing things that catch my eye. So, I'm going to embark on a bit of an experiment here.…

A Week with the Verizon/Motorola DROID (By an iPhone Addict)
This past week, I decided to find out what the hype was all about regarding the Droid. Launched just a few weeks ago, the Droid has been positioned as a potential iPhone-killer.
