It's brand new! Mophie, the makers of external battery packs for iPhones and a few other devices, has created a Juice Pack for the current best phone ever, the HTC One. I pre-ordered it and this is the unboxing. There is a serious flaw making at least the one I received unusable but Mophie will replace it.
Read MoreThere are many ways to find reviews for Android apps, in fact, probably too many. Whether it be the the Google app market “Play” or such services as AppBrain in which your friends can see which apps you have downloaded, you can easily find sometimes dozens of similar apps all with 4-5 stars. When it comes to accessories, there are fewer resources and you won’t find a marketplace with hundreds of thousands of users rating any one accessory. In that spirit, here is a round-up of a few accessories that have worked out well for me for the Samsung Galaxy Note.
Read MoreDespite being somewhat of an Apple fanboy myself, I took exception to Rob Walch from Today in iOS mocking the Super Bowl ad for the Samsung Galaxy Note that referred to it as the next big thing. I presumed that the faster CPU of the Note and its use of LTE for the data network would mean that it would blow the iPhone 4S out of the water.

I am the victim of my early adoption once again as I bought two different bluetooth keyboard cases only to be disappointed with both of them. They have made me appreciate the on-screen keyboard even more.
Read MoreLess than two weeks into the free month trial of the much hyped Netflix Canada, I cancelled the service to avoid risking being charged a single penny for a service that is devoid of content. If they really wanted to make a difference in Canada, they needed to go live with content from the start…not just videos you would find in the stack of VHS tapes the local libraries can’t even give away by the checkout counter.
Read MoreI started this site in 2009 to write about Glaucoma, Health IT (EMR, EHR), Technology and to host my podcast series "Talking About Glaucoma." There is a shortcut to this blog to make it easier to find http://iguy.tv/blog.
I am a glaucoma sub-specialized Ophthalmologist and have a full time clinical practice at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic of the Geisel School of Medicine in Hanover, NH. I have a longtime interest in the use of technology to help in medical care as well as in Education. In addition, I was a very early adopter and developer of Electronic Medical Record systems who has lectured internationally on the topic of making the transition to EMRs in daily practice.
