Earlier in January Technology X and The SSD Review traveled from Canada to Las Vegas, Nevada, where we attended the Consumer Electronic Show for 2014. Fortunately enough for us, we had the privilege of using Roam Mobility with our unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 2’s, and better yet without the worry of returning to large roaming fees, insane charges for data …

Amazon’s Kindle Fire is an amazing device but some Android applications never make it to the Kindle Store. Here’s a little trick that enables you to download applications from the Google Play Store and transfer them to your Kindle Fire.

I guess I am a bit old-fashioned when I still see a quality set of speakers as being constructed of just the right mix of components. B&O, German Physiks and Hansen Audio are those that dreams are made of one day when I win the lottery.  Even then, I think I might still cringe at the price one can attain …

It just doesn’t get better than starting an audio report while listening to Drift Away by Dobie Gray on the headset I am about to report on.  This report actually started out as a challenge of my loyalty to my Fanny Wang 3000 Series Customs with Active Noise Cancellation that sees me typically through 15-20 flights a  year.  In this …

We were introduced to their entire product lineup, as well as their new products that will be launched later this year. It was at this convention where we received a Kingston DataTraveler Mini 3.0 16GB USB 3.0 Drive to test out. Let’s see how …

January was quite eventful for OCZ; first finalizing their acquisition by Toshiba, going through a name change to OCZ Storage Solutions and even better yet, releasing their new Vertex 460 SSD. It is quite commendable to persevere through their acquisition, and still be able to produce a drive that is of high quality. Yes, that may be due to new partnerships …

It was announced yesterday that DriveSavers, who specialize in retrieving lost data from damaged drives, can now recover lost BitCoins. DriveSavers have been helping many customers and companies for more than 27 years, and have even helped Google, Lucasfilm and NASA retrieve some of their own lost data. This is a great new step in data recovery, especially when it …

As we were walking around the Las Vegas Convention Centre for CES 2014, we were pulled aside by WHOOSH!, a company that is focused on keeping your mobile device clean.
