Best universal remotes

The death of the universal remote control as we know it may be on the horizon (though it’s not here yet). Apps like Apple’s Remote and the Android-compatible Gmote are becoming increasingly popular as big-name developers find ways to make use of emerging mobile platforms, much like smaller offerings from Dijit (iOS/Android) and iRule, but they are limited in scope and require additional hardware that can prove costly regardless of the manufacturer. For now, it appears it may still may be best to stick with a good ol’ fashioned remote control for all your A/V needs.

Yamaha RX-S600 Slimline AV Receiver Preview

Sometimes it feels like there is a big disconnect between electronics manufacturers and furniture makers.

Samsung is rumored to be working on the sequel to its Galaxy Gear smartwatch, and it could be out early next year with cutdown specs, a cheaper price and more device compatibility.

Is medium format the new (old) frontier for camera makers, and why does it matter?

iRobot Roomba 650 review

Unless you’ve got a really small place with a lot of open floor space, you’re probably not going to get by with a Roomba as your only vacuum. But, it does do an excellent job of keeping high-traffic areas tidier between vacuuming, especially with small children or pets doing their best to keep it busy. And, it’s just so damn chipper about its mundane job, we had a really hard time saying goodbye. We think the new Roomba 600-series makes a good addition to your floor cleaning arsenal, as long as your expectations are reasonable.

Kaleidescape Cinema One Media Server Preview

Kaleidescape just blew our minds. Yes the Kaleidescape Cinema One media server is $4000. Yes, we realize that many people will say, "But I could build an HTPC for less!" But that HTPC wouldn't have Kaleidescape's interface, access to Kaleidescape's Store (which features Blu-ray quality video and audio AND full downloads with special features), and Kaleidescape's features and build quality.

TiVo Roamio DVRs Preview

TiVo has always been expensive and that hasn't changed with the new Roamio boxes. If you are a true cord-cutter, the straight Roamio will be for you. This is the only one that has support for OTA.

Nexus 4 cases: Protect that fragile glass back!

The Nexus 4 is a great smartphone, but it could hardly be described as rugged. Gorilla Glass is tough, but when you have a device with a glass back, it is going to be seriously prone to cracking when dropped.

We’ve already taken a look at some of the most commonly reported Nexus 4 problems, and we’ve thrown up a few Nexus 4 tips, now it’s time to run through some of the best Nexus 4 cases.

Klipsch Music Center KMC 3 Review

While the glut of wireless speakers available today can make for some difficult choices, it also makes for some seriously excellent engineering. After all, if you’re going to put out a speaker in this market, it had better kick some ass or it’s going home early. One thing that can make the buying decision a little easier is when big names get involved. And when someone with a name like, say, Klipsch puts out a wireless speaker, you can bet we’re interested.

Soundfreaq Sound Spot review

Due to its especially low price, our expectations of Soundfreaq’s Sound Spot were pretty low, but we came away surprised at how much oomph it delivers. Once again, Soundfreaq manages to hit a sweet spot with its aggressively-priced speakers.

We first met the folks over at Soundfreaq last January at CES with the debut of their new Sound Platform 2.

Samsung Printer Xpress C410W review

Samsung’s Xpress C410W is one of the world’s first color laser printers with NFC – great for printing from smart devices. Print quality is good, but it’s slightly marred by expensive supplies.

The world is a colorful place, which is why color printers far outsell black and white monochrome units. Not too long ago, having a color laser printer at home meant you were probably well off. But the price of laser printers has since come down significantly, making them more attainable to the masses.

LG’s insane 77-inch Ultra HD curved OLED leaves no box unchecked

LG has unveiled the biggest, curviest, Ultra HD-iest OLED TV the world has ever seen. For now.

At IFA 2013 in Berlin, LG unveiled the world’s first 77-inch television, a concept model that proves OLED isn’t stuck at 55-inches anymore. Ultra HD resolution also pays off nicely at a size like 77-inches, making this the one of the most exciting combinations of OLED and Ultra HD technologies we’ve seen so far. And boy does LG know it.

Everything you need to know about HDMI 2.0 (Hint: You don’t need new cables)

Cables aren’t sexy technology. So it’s no surprise that innovations and advancements in the wires that make so much home entertainment possible usually fly under the radar for the average consumer. But HDMI 2.0 is a little different because its introduction is tied tightly to the advancement of Ultra HD, or 4K, televisions.

Galaxy Gear vs. Google Glass: The battle for your wrist was just won … by your face!

  Yesterday’s unveiling of Samsung’s Gear smartwatch has some hyperventilating about how this oft-ballyhooed form factor has finally arrived. But as we watched the event unfold, and some of us even got our mitts on it, we couldn’t help but think that, stripped of the whole band and face, the Gear didn’t strike us as that different from another oft-ballyhooed form factor: Google Glass. What’s more, Glass is superior in most every way, and it’s not even out of beta.

Nikon’s new Coolpix cams won’t steal the show, but they offer boost in features

Qualcomm launches Toq smartwatch with always-on touchscreen, out late 2013

Attention at IFA 2013 may appear to have centered around the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, but another watch has also been given its official debut at the show, and it’s made by a most unlikely manufacturer.

JBL Charge review

The last time we checked out a portable speaker from JBL, the $100 Flip, we were pretty much blown away by the small speaker’s big-league blast of sound. The Flip easily filled our test room with its concise, detailed sound signature, and its exterior design was a refreshing break from the ritual rectangles we’ve grown accustomed to. The only real issue we had with the speaker was its mediocre 6-hour rechargeable battery life.

Surprise! Sony says HDMI 2.0 is just a firmware update away

Braven 850 review

The Braven 600 stands as one of our all-time favorite portable Bluetooth speakers. Its sound quality is pristine and powerful, and its build quality is second to none. It’s such a great product, that we couldn’t help but want more of it. In fact, since we reviewed it, we’ve secretly held hope that Braven would come out with a super-sized version. You can imagine, then, that we got a little excited when Braven announced its 850 speaker.

Olympus Tough TG-2 iHS review

The Olympus Stylus TG-2 iHS ($380) is the latest flagship in Olympus’ rugged series of cameras, taking over from the TG-1 (in fact, the two cameras are similar in looks, with noticeable difference in body color). Packed into this point-and-shoot are a lot of nice features and performance, but does it live up to its “tough” billing and top the high bar its predecessor set?

BlackBerry Q10 ‘hit the ground and died,’ according to WSJ

According to a recent report from Wall Street Journal, sales of the Blackberry Q10 have been unexpectedly low since its release. Sales from corporations may help boost company profits, but it seems to have lost its buying power in the consumer realm.

Acer Aspire Z3-605 review

The high prices of many premium all-in-one PCs makes it easy to forget the category’s greatest advantage is simplicity, a trait any buyer can appreciate at any price point. Small, basic all-in-ones can be a good choice for many consumers, but the competition among mid-range AiOs is fierce, making it hard for consumers to sort out the best from the rest.

Samsung ATIV Book 7 review

Some say first impressions matter, but Samsung apparently doesn’t agree. The company’s Ativ Book 7 looks and feels outdated, particularly when compared to the very best Ultrabooks. Only the system’s huge battery and excellent display keep it relevant.

PSB M4U 2 review

Canadian speaker manufacturer PSB’s premium noise-cancelling headphones do just about everything right. The M4U 2’s price is up there with Bose’s offerings, but their sound quality is miles ahead.

If you’re not an audio hound, you may not have heard of PSB Speakers. The Canadian-based company isn’t exactly a household name in the US like Blackberry is, but then again, look how that turned out.

Asus M51AC-US016S review

Though a popular choice for laptops and tablets, Asus has never had the same success with desktops in the U.S. The company seeks to change that with the new M51, a mid-range system available in a variety of configurations, including some that provide decent…

A Few Tips On Buying Telescopes

People looking to buy telescopes are generally lured to the more powerful and expensive models that come with some high-quality, avant-garde features.

Pizza Hut, surprising to many, was also one of the pioneers of e-commerce, with it providing an option of online ordering in one of its restaurants in California. However, it did take several years before the test run expanded into a fixed option for the company. In a nutshell, the early years of Internet shopping were full of hits-and-misses, risks, some pay-offs but even more loses.

Retailing has never been so exciting and easy ever before. Today the excitement both for the retailers as well as for shoppers is in online shopping. The technology enabled platform gives a challenge for marketing companies to innovate and reach out to the customers and provide them the same or better shopping experience as well as engage in customer relationship management.

Useful Security Tips For Safe Online Shopping

If you are hesitant to do online shopping or payments, this article will give you the best security tips so that you may go ahead and shop online without worry about safety and security of using personal information online. I have a few tips for those who do want to enjoy the benefits of shopping from home and those who want to get a break from running around to pay bills. This is also for all my friends who want to, but are afraid to transact online for fear of sharing financial information.

• Shop with a credit card, not a debit card - Credit cards always have better protection and support from the card companies, so just in case something goes wrong, the have the authority to stop/cancel the transaction within some time period. On debit cards however, the money goes as you pay. So, even if you have protection, the money is already gone.


• Use one card for all your online shopping - It is easier to keep track of transactions on one card and you will be able to check your statement easily.


• Use one computer (preferably password locked) for online shopping - When you shop online frequently, use same computer and have a login password enabled on it. It is not just for security from unwary users, but also a protection from some viruses (namely trojans).


• Use newly opened browser for all online shopping or payments - Always close all windows of the browser and open afresh for online shopping. Also do not open multiple tabs for shopping and surfing. For surfing, use another different browser. For example if you use Google chrome for shopping, then for surfing at same time, use Internet explorer or Firefox or Opera.


• Always close browser window after completing purchase - Even if you have to surf net afterwards, close the browser windows once and then open again. This is very important as you may have noticed that even banks ask you to close window after you log out (it is important to close not just tab but all the browser windows). The explanation for the and previous point lies in the fact that browsers store information on your computers in "cookies". Reliable sites delete important security information on closing of browser though unimportant personal info may be retained.


• Never click on links in emails - Even if the mail is from someone you know, do not click on links in emails. It can be a potential source of viruses and hence security compromise on your PC. Who can be sure if your known contact's computer isn't security compromised.


• Check the site name and URL in the browser address bar - When proceeding to pay for a purchase, always keep an eye on the site name and URL in the address bar of the browser(that is where you type the site URL for going to the site). It will either be starting with same site name of will be the third party site like PayPal, CCAvenue, etc. Check the third party site (if you are not sure) to be a payment gateway before you make payment.


• Look for SSL sign/padlock in browser address bar - Before making payment, check for https:// in the address bar URL and for the SSL sign. SSL means data is sent encrypted over the net and only target site can decode it. (When a SSL Digital Certificate is installed on a web site, users can see a padlock icon at the bottom area of the navigator)


• Use a latest and updated browser - You may use any operating system like Windows, Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora etc) or mac but use the newer browsers for online shopping. A new and updated browser will have less security loopholes and better viewer experience too. Avoid using older browsers like IE6/IE7.


• General Precautions as for any shopping - Last advice, but not the least, as for all shopping, do get a gist of the fine print on the site like shipping details and time, warranty info, replacement policy, money back guarantee terms etc. For this I would suggest you shop online only on reputed sites which are well established and used. These sites invest in infrastructure and security and hence are more suitable for a good shopping experience online.


• Use price comparison sites for faster and foolproof shopping - This is not exactly a safety tip, but is a smart shopping guideline. Price comparison sites usually present prices from various reputed online shopping stores in one place and you may try them for getting a good deal.

Our website, www.price-hunt.com is one such price comparison engine and it provides an instant search into major stores to give you the best price for your shopping item. I am sure you will get the best of all prices there. Since you have made it to this part of the article, I am sure you will give online shopping or online payments a definite try, and be a part of the future of retail shopping.

Vacationers have come to rely on reviews from travellers who have had positive and negative experiences at hotels, on cruise ships, and at destination activities. The reviews have many vacation spots stand up and take notice, because now, vacationers really do make major vacation decisions based on the words of complete strangers who have rented hotel rooms or resort condos all over the world.

Safety Tips for Shopping Online

Credit card fraud seems to be everywhere, and thieves love using the internet to steal people's credit card information, due to the anonymity it provides. Many consumers think the only way to protect themselves is to just avoid shopping online all together. Although that is one way to avoid one's credit card information from being stolen, it also means one can never shop online again. The online marketplace for goods and services is growing at a rapid pace because consumers know they can quickly find the best deals when shopping online.

 By just not shopping online anymore, one would be giving up on all these great deals. Using this method to avoid credit card fraud is like deciding never to fly in a plane again to avoid terrorists. True, one would not become a victim in any terrorist plot that involved planes, but that also means having to deal with the inconvenience of not being able to fly when traveling. Like anything else in life, the key is not to avoid the problem, but to understand the problem and to adopt a smart strategy to minimize the risk of being a victim to credit card fraud while shopping online.

First, let's talk about steps one can take if credit card fraud has already happened. There is no need to panic. Once the cardholder reports that his or her credit card information has been compromised, the credit card company will not hold the cardholder liable for any fraudulent charges, even for charges made before reporting the credit card information has been stolen. The credit card company will shut down that card from further use and issue a new card in about a week or two, but this is still an inconvenience most people would still rather not want to deal with, if possible.

Next, online shoppers could utilize Google's Safe Browsing Tool to check if a website is safe to visit, assuming one trusts Google of course. This tool will report if a website is suspicious or not, when Google last scanned it, if the website done anything suspicious in the past, and report if it is linked to any suspicious websites even if the site itself is not doing anything suspicious. To see if a website is safe, simply copy and paste "http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=" into the address field on the browser, and then add the url of the site to be visited. For example, to a company's website, just enter "http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=websiteurlhere.com" into the address bar of the browser being used. Once this is entered, Google's tool will bring up a simple half page report on whether the site in question is in fact safe or not.

Another layer of protection one can use when shopping online, is to use trusted 3rd party payment methods. Just about everyone has heard of PayPal. They are probably the most widely used 3rd party payment method in the world. They allow for customers to make payment for goods and services through them. For example, this means when a customer buys something, she is not directly paying the website that she is shopping on. She is paying the amount due to PayPal, and then PayPal pays the merchant, which means the merchant never sees her credit card information and her credit card information was never transmitted over the internet during this transaction. It does not matter if the customer shops at one website or a hundred websites. As long, as a 3rd party payment method was used, credit card information was never transmitted so, that information is not floating around on online at each website a purchase was made. Other 3rd party payment methods similar to PayPal include, Google Wallet and Amazon Payments.

Armed with this information, online shoppers can now make sure the websites they visit are safe to shop on, and also avoid entering sensitive information when purchasing. So, there is no need to pass up all the great deals when shopping online due to fear of credit card information being stolen.
