(If you’re not a regular reader — well, why not? Anyway, check out my post from last year: Three important things you should know about cashback services.) Anyway, the …

Tiko 3D Among the possible reasons 3D printers aren’t yet household items: most are seriously lacking when it comes to decor-friendly design, and most have price tags that range from $500 to several thousand. The Tiko is a Kickstarter-fueled 3D printer with an early-backer price tag of $179. But just as surprising as the price is the design: It more …

Insteon I’ve never really felt the need to “smarten” my home, especially if it means installing a bunch of sensors and whatnot. However, I will say that my Venstar smart thermostat is just about the best thing ever, so maybe I need to rethink all this. And here’s a deal I’m thinking strongly about: Today only, and while supplies last, …

OnePlus For much of 2014, I referred to the OnePlus One as “the best smartphone you can’t buy.” Because despite promises to the contrary, the company continued to sell it mostly by invitation only.

But not all intranets are equipped for video sharing and distribution, to saying nothing of allowing employees to create and share videos of their own. Microsoft Office 365 Video …

Ausdom When it comes to headphones, everyone has their preferences. I like “drop-in” earbuds when I’m out for a run, noise-isolating earbuds when I fly, and over-the-ear headphones for around the house. (Never been a big fan of the on-ear variety.) Ah, but do you really need to spend $200 to get a decent set of over-the-ear ‘phones? Not today: …
