In this week’s episode Brennan and Josh check out the Boombotix speaker system and the AluPen from Just Mobile. We also start getting back to HD edits with some BoinxTV hackery, but we’ll explain that one more in a future episode.
We’re gonna be honest. We didn’t think these products were going to be all that great, but it turns out we kinda love them both. I mean, that little Boombotix BB1 speaker is insanely loud, and perfect for pissing off old ladies on the bus. And the AluPen stylus is pretty solid for a stylus, and fits in your hand nicely, which is more than we can say for other styluses we’ve tested out in the past.

ABC is gearing up to revolutionize the way people watch TV by live-streaming content on iPhones and iPads with a “live” button, but don’t get too excited just yet., there’s a catch. Only people living in New York and Philadelphia will be able to live-stream content from ABC’s local stations there. This is pretty major as ABC is the first major broadcaster to enable such a feature, even if it’s only for a limited number of users. The other catch is that the live stream will only be available to paying subscribers of cable and satellite providers, despite the stations’ signals

WWDC is coming closer and we’re already beginning to see early evidence of iOS 7 via web traffic.

Hardware rumors kicked up as there were stories that said the Retina iPad Mini was due to enter production in a few months. The cheaper iPhone rumors resurfaced as a supplier reported a 40% increase in it’s workforce. Our Features, Tips, and Funny Posts Caught Watching Porn On Google Glass, SNL Sketch New YouTube Trends
Apple’s killing off its SuperDrives slowly but surely. If you have a new MacBook Air, or a Retina MacBook Pro, there’s probably been a couple of times you’ve found yourself wishing you had access to a CD Burner at one point or another. Sure, it’s probably only a couple of times, but for some, it’s still a necessity. Apple has placed its USB SuperDrive on sale over at Amazon. Normally weighing in at $79.00, you can now pick one up for $69.00. I grabbed one. It may be a dying technology, but sadly my car only plays CDs at this point.
