Nuu MiniKey for iPhone 5 Review (Tech)
Nuu has made a lot of people happy with their MiniKey bluetooth keyboard cases for Apple’s iPhone line of smartphones. The people I write of are those who simply cannot get onboard with the virtual keyboard found on touchscreen devices. I know several people like this – my own mother being one. Personally, I don’t have a preference either way – I will use whatever is available. I got a chance to use their MiniKey case for iPhone 5 for a while and have found it to be a nice device that I could live without. I’ll expound… The MiniKey…
G&G Top Tech TR16 R4 Commando AEG Review
The G&G Top Tech TR16 R4 Commando blowback airsoft electric gun is a large model M4 meant for MilSim and field play. It features a full metal (quality aluminum) receiver – both upper and lower, as well as an included (and rock-solid) vertical foregrip and 450-round, hi-cap magazine. One of the most impressive features of this AEG is its pneumatic blowback system which generates a slight amount of vibration/feedback when fired. In addition, this blowback system also makes the AEG a bit louder than usual – especially when laying down a lot of fire. I also have to praise the hop-up system…
G&G Top Tech TR4 M4 CQB-H Airsoft Rifle Review
G&G Armaments TR4 M4 CQB-H airsoft electric gun retails for about $360 dollars on websites like AirsoftGI and AirSplat – It is not a cheap purchase. However, this product is truly a textbook case of “getting what you pay for” and you will not be disappointed in this AEG – especially if you are looking for an accurate, powerful, and reliable CQB weapon. Much like the larger TR16 R4 Commando that we reviewed earlier, the Tr4 M4 CQB-H AEG features G&G’s pneumatic blowback system which adds a slight bit of recoil when the gun is fired. In reality, this “recoil”…
Is The TF-X Our Flying Car?
People have been dreaming of flying cars for quite some time. Personally, I would love to drive a Fifth Element-style flying vehicle around a crowded Manhattan skyway as Milla Jovovich bounces around the backseat. Mmm… But, I digress, as Terrafugia has unveils its concept for the TF-X flying vehicle, a personal aircraft that uses a V-22 Osprey style flight mechanic to perform vertical takeoff and landings. Checkout this promotional trailer for the TF-X:

Tachyon OPS HD Camera Review (Tech)
One of the coolest videos I saw when first researching the sport of Airsoft was taken from an M4 Carbine AEG’s front rail system. Looking into this further, the company behind the gun camera was Tachyon Inc. Tachyon makes durable cameras for not only action sports but, also, real-world military and law enforcement applications. The Tachyon Ops HD shoots 1280×720 video @ 30fps, using a 125 degree field of view. This makes it a more natural image without creating a fisheye effect. Additionally, the camera is capable of timelapse photography. In this mode, the camera will take one photo every 2 seconds. Unlike…
