When it comes to wallets, I’m usually quite radical. While friends of mine would carry around conventional leather wallets, I would be sporting a money clip. Then as time moved on, I refrained from even using a wallet. I never liked to carry more than I needed to use. However, I recently discovered a very [...]

Our very own staff author Jessica Cam Wong loves her iPod Touch. She does everything with it. I would guess that for someone who uses their iPod Touch so much, a good case would definitely make huge difference. We’ve seen our fair share of iPhone cases, some good and some were pretty bad. Luckily, the [...]

Yesterday, we reviewed Synology’s DS411j and were greatly impressed by its intuitive GUI. And while the DS411j is mostly geared towards average home users, the NAS device that we will be looking at today is targeted at power users who demand higher performance over ease-of-use. Netgear’s ReadyNAS Ultra 4 is available in both diskless ($699.99) [...]

Yesterday, we looked at the Drobo FS. While that network-attached storage (NAS) looked easy to upgrade and practically future-proof, it didn’t come with an intuitive GUI. Synology’s DiskStation 411j (DS411j) NAS is a whole different beast and what it lacks in style, it makes up with functionality. If you were planning to buy a NAS [...]
