Gadget Of The Week - @Targus_Inc 'Chill Lap Mat' @BestBuy

Henry and I have been pretty vocal about laptop troubles on our previous podcast episodes. While in Canada, my five year old HP Pavillion laptop started making a strange noise. It sounded like the chainsaw from 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.' When my brother helped me realized it was the internal fan that was making the noise I took action to clean her up. 

Gadget Of The Week - #NYFW EXCLUSIVE Inside Look 'Chunky's Americana Lens' By @Hipstamatic & @MrChunkyExpress

Hipstamatic & Chiun-Kai Shih

New York Fashion Week is always buzzing about something new, but how often does it give you exclusive freebies as this one we're about to give you today?!? As mentioned in last week's blog post, my friend 'Chunky' shoots high profiled fashion models and designer clothing, mostly with his iPhone as of late. iPhone App maker 'Hipstamatic' inspired by 'Chunky's' work created the "Chunky lens". For those of you not familiar with the Hipstamatic App, its a photography app that allows you to take photos using various preset filters, which come in a form called 'Lens'. Each lens has a different price, normally $.99 per lens. Well worth the money we say. But, Chunky & Hipstamatic's new lens "Made In America: Americana Lens Pak" will be 'free' to download from within the 'Hipstamatic' app, from now till the 16th of February! 

App Fix - Android Phone Camera Users Rejoice? MAGIX MX Is Here!

Video After The Jump

If you are like me, you are constantly searching for the 'perfect' camera app to make your Android smartphone camera produce quality photos to match those of regular point and shoot cameras. I have about 10 camera apps on my EVO 4G, and I've narrowed it down to my favorite top 3 camera apps!

My top choice as of late are the 'Camera Zoom FX', just because its zippy and it has zero shutter and processing lag after taking a well detailed photo; it's auto focus is fast and does great under low lighting conditions; and it has great presets for applying filters to your photos. There's a free version, but its worth the money to get the paid version! My second reliable camera app would be 'Pixlr-o-matic'. Its fast, love the interface and has tons of great filters and borders, perhaps too many. Bonus, its a free app!

Geek Fix - @Cnet Sharon Vaknin Gives Us Some iPhone Camera Tricks

Videos After The Jump

Aside from Cnet's Molly Wood, Sharon Vanknin's is another popular Cnet featured Editor on our blog. Its probably because Sharon's 'How To' tutorials are simple to follow. Or maybe its because of her her exotic beauty? What's important here is the two important tutorials we picked to feature today, that will be handy for both iPhone and Android users.

Gadget Of The Week - 'Nano Quadrotors' #AWESOME! @GRASPlab

Memorizing Video After The Jump

A group of talented students (Alex Kushleyev, Daniel Mellinger, and Vijay Kumar)from GRASP Lab of University of Pennsylvania developed a new type of Quadrotors. They are called 'Nano Quadrotors'. About a third of the size of a iPhone powered Quadrotor! They've engineered these with some special type of software that when flying in a group/flock they have the cunning ability to fly in sequential formations.

The stunning demonstration displayed in the following video is 'beyond tomorrow'. It's friggin' here! OMG! Very cool technology, fun, and scary in the wrong hands! But worthy enough to win our geeky admiration for the week!!! Take a look for yourselves!

Tech Fix - @MollyWood Gives The Lo-Down On Google's Latest Schemes

Buzz Report After The Jump

While Motorola creates really good press with its newest Droid Razr Maxx (2) which boasts longer battery power, a days worth. Three months later after releasing the Droid Razr (1)... Molly Wood is back giving her "power to the people" rants and news coverage of the latest and greatest in this weeks happenings in the world of Technology.

Always on point, Molly also gives us clearer and funny understanding behind Google's latest strategy to unite user data from one Google service to another. Find out what happened after Google geeks became aware of the idea of having 'all' of our Google user data. It's starting to smell like FACEBOOK! SMH!

It's worth mentioning that Molly speaks out at the end of her report against Homophobic gamers!

Thanks Molly!! ;-)

Gadget Fix - @AIAIAItweet TMA1 Headphones @Kibisi

Video After The Jump

We are happy with the headphones we purchased through donations we recently received. But we must say though the ATH-M30's that we bought from Audio-Technica are really good for the price. They are slightly uncomfortable to wear after a period of time. While Copenhagen, Denmark is a far away place to reach for some superior design and perhaps 'true' noise cancelling professional headphones. We couldn't help to blog about the AIAIAI TMA-1 headphones.

They are not dubbed as professional monitor style headphones. But their design is wickedly cool and screams superiority! We are suckers for design, and products that come out of the depths of North-Western Europe.
