No PuTTY? No Problem!

by

Jobs are great and all, they keep you busy, keep your wife happy and pay the bills, but at what cost brother, at what cost? The cost, of course, is that at these so-called jobs we often cannot download and execute programs, namely PuTTY, without friggin’ admin rights! And even if you’re IT and have … Read more

i-FlashDrive Let’s You (gasp!) Share Files Between Android and iOS

by

Huh What now? Yes, this little device that looks like a flash drive and is called the i-FlashDrive let’s you really share files between iOS and Android devices. Is the sky falling? Is the world going to end? Oh the Horrors of the it all! Seriously though, yes this little gadget will let you simply and easily swap files between iOS and Android devices, it let’s them play nicely together to make the lives of people who own both types of devices so much much easier. I’ve never seen anything like this on the market before, I could be wrong, I wasn’t exactly looking for something like this, so it may exist somewhere, but I never saw anything like it. Anyway there are three versions right now and the only real difference is the capacity, 16gb, 32gb or 64gb in sizes. Prices range from $149 up to $299 and it’s out now so your Android and iOS devices can now get along nicely!

Looq System Launches @7PM Universal Remote for Android and iOS Devices

by

So the name is a bit odd, it’s called the @7PM but the device seems rather cool especially since it works with both Android and iOS devices without having to buy a different one. It’s just a little dongle type device that plugs into the headphone jack on your phone or tablet and then you just install the fee app. Like most universal devices you’ll need to configure it but Looq says that have over 9000+ models in their database of devices. The price is $34.99 and I think it might be worth it. My HTC One has the remote built into it and recently the remote for my HDTV died but now I just use my phone to control the TV, works fine for me…

I host and serve the file locally, and I run a daily cron job to execute a script that downloads the latest ga.js file from Google so that if they update it … Read more
