Having lost my previous jump drive, I’ve been in the market for something new. Last week, I picked up the excitingly-named 32 GB SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 Flash Drive. It had a good rating on Amazon, and supported USB 3, which turns out is awesome. While I’ve had USB 3-equipped Macs for a while, this is the first USB 3 device I’ve…

The 2.9-quart, BPA-free acrylic pitcher is built around a removable, hollow core that can be filled with fruits, herbs and other goodies. This construction is great to look…
The iHome iPL10BC’s full name is rather unfortunate. Amazon lists the item as “iHome Dual Charging Stereo FM Clock Radio with Lightning Dock and USB Charge/Play for iPhone/iPod.” That mouthful aside, the iHome device is a $70 alarm clock with FM radio and a Lightning connector for iPhone 5 users. This makes it a little rare, as many companies are still shipping…

The 13-inch MacBook Air is the best Mac Apple has for sale. It’s cheap, light and powerful, and while the 13-inch screen isn’t Retina, it looks great, and leaves lots of room for a great keyboard and trackpad. With Intel’s new Haswell chipsets, the mid-2013 model is better than ever. While I’d build one with a larger SSD and 8 GB of…
For the uninitiated, App.net is an ad-free, subscription-based service that is being used for not only Twitter-like conversations, but private messaging, file storage, sharing, and more.

While some think heavily-filtered photos are so 2009, the guys over at Realmac Software disagree. Which is great, since their new, $2 photo app is pretty awesome.
