Aperion Audio ARIS wireless speaker

Aperion Audio ARIS wireless speaker

Aperion Audio has just introduced the ARIS wireless speaker for Windows that enables music enthusiasts to have fun with their favorite tracks regardless of which part of the home they are at. Before I continue, let me make this clear – generally speaking, the word “home” used describes your average American abode, and not one of those super large mansions with more rooms than you can shake a stick at.

Wireless carriers continue to battle phone subsidies

Wireless carriers continue to battle phone subsidies

. Wireless carriers have traditionally made money off lengthy two-year service agreements, rather than physical device sales. In the age of smartphones, however, carriers are footing the bill for expensive handsets that result in smaller margins, while phone makers such as Apple reap the benefits. To combat traditional phone subsidies, carriers in the U.S. have continued to raise monthly rates and employ new and higher fees. In Europe, service providers are taking more aggressive measures, with some carriers refusing to subsidize devices for new customers.

AT-AT PC Case Mod: and you thought it was just geeky on the outside

AT-AT PC Case Mod: and you thought it was just geeky on the outside

This isn't the first Star Wars-themed peripheral we've featured. Not by a long shot. Not even today. It's not even the first AT-AT case mod we've had, but we can safely say it poses the most danger to the alliance. With a mini-ITX mainboard, Intel Core i7-2600K CPU and 8GB of RAM, this walker might actually have enough brains to avoid a harpoon and tow cable, and with elaborate watercooling the Hasbro plastic shouldn't get scorched either. The icing on the imperial cake is weapons and interior that light up with the touch of a remote.

Stealth Tablet envelope will help camouflage your tablet

Stealth Tablet envelope will help camouflage your tablet

While bringing our tablets with us on the go is becoming a more common sight, it also means that there are probably more snatch thieves out there waiting to pounce. Unfortunately as much as we'd love to clutch our tablets and smartphones to our chest and hope that no one steals it, it is simply not ideal. This is where the Stealth Tablet Envelope comes in. Pictured above, the Stealth Tablet Envelope is a casing for your tablet that disguises itself as, well, an envelope. Upon first glance, it would appear as a somewhat banged up manila envelope with a faux paper exterior.

Speedometer Free: Measure Your Need for Speed.

Speedometer Free: Measure Your Need for Speed.

The need for speed.  We all know it, we all feel it.  Hodel Apps knows it and has an app for that. Speedometer Free is an app developed for iPhone/iPad that measures how fast you're moving.  My husband, who takes CalTrain to work every morning, was on the train cruising right along when it occurred to him that he wanted to know just how fast the train was moving along the tracks.  So he searched for an app that measured speed and came up with this gem.  And discovered that his particular train was chucking along and a nice 82 miles per hour.  Sweet.

If it's free, it's me, and Free Speedometer is free.
