Slice Box Cutter Review

Being a long time product reviewer I get quite a few boxes in the mail. Now I would normally just get a kitchen knife to open the boxes. Then I would cut the boxes up for recycling. One time while I was cutting a box up the knife went through the box and cut open my thumb. Now I know better and found a product that will remedy this.


The Slice Box Cutter won reddot design award for 2011. The design is truly unique and works well. The Slice Box Cutter has a ceramic knife that is very safe to handle and the curved handle provides maximum control when you cut open those boxes.

- Includes one double-sided ceramic blade
- Stays sharp 10X longer than steel
- Fully retractable and adjustable length blade
- Easy access blade storage
- Less blade means reduced injuries
- Replacement blades available in packs of 4
- Hand sharpened blades



The Slice Box Cutter is the best looking box cutter you will find. The ceramic blade slices boxes like they were nothing yet has rounded tip that is less prone to injuries. At $20 this is a great gift idea for that handy guy in your life.

Andrea Electronics PC Headset (SB-405B) Superbeam Phones Review

As a person who does a lot of chatting and Skyping, I am always on the lookout for a new headset. Andrea Electronics just release the Superbeam Phones. Those who are using the built in mic on their Macbook or laptop should consider upgrading to something better like the Superbeam Phones.



Andrea Superbeam Phones are boom free meaning that it does not have that ugly boom mic instead integrating the mic into the headphones. The headset includes a very nice hard case for the phones. The headphones fold flat for easy travel inside the case. The headphones are made of glossy black plastic and feel light and decent quality materials. The headphones have nice cushion on each earpiece that go on top of ears.





As just headphones I found them to be very good when watching a movie or viewing a clip on YouTube the sound is excellent. When using Skype I found the two built in mics pickup my voice very clear to the other person the line. In addition using Google Talk and Yahoo Messenger sound great as well.


Andrea Superbeam Phones are an excellent headset for video chatting, Skype, VOIP, and PC gaming. They are much cheaper than say the Bowers & Wilkins P5 Headset while still offering very good quality sound and voice through the headset.

Hauppauge Broadway Review

Hauppauge Broadway is a new product that can stream TV over wifi to your Ipad, iPhone 4S or Android Tablet. This product works great when you travel since it can stream TV to your phone over 3G or Tablet if Wifi is available. Now you can watch HD channels from your satellite or Cable through Broadway device.

What's in the Box

Broadway
Power supply
TV antenna
Ethernet network cable
CD-ROM with TVCentre 6 software for Windows
IR learning Blaster cable to control the channel changing on a satellite or cable TV set top box
User manual and quick start guide







The Hauppauge Broadway is a Digital TV receiver with a built-in ATSC / clear QAM / analog TV tuner. In addition it has H.264 video encoder and built in 802.11 wireless LAN controller. The encoder will allow you to record streaming TV for later viewing. The Broadways works on both PC and the Mac.





The setup is easy as you simply hookup the Broadway device to your wifi router. I connect either an antenna or my cable coax cable and then connect the eternet to my router. One thing to mention is to use Internet Explorer (Firefox has problems with the website that guides you through the process). I first go to the website http://distan.tv and enter default password Admin. Then I follow the Setup Wizard and when finish scan channells. That is all I have to do and login to the same site on my iPad and do the same wizard setup and now I have streaming TV on my iPad.


Hauppauge Broadway makes your Tablet into a little HDTV with ability to watch your favorite shows on the go or at home. Tablets have really taken off this year but video content is still lacking so the Broadway makes a lot sense. Broadway is the best choice to watch TV on your Tablet or phone.

SwipeTie (Wolverine) Review

Finally someone has made a use for a regular tie. SwipeTie has taken ties to the next level as it doubles as a cleaning cloth. First things first the SwipeTie feels as nice as one you would find at a high end department stores.


I chose the Wolverine which is Blue/Yellow(also U of M colors) striped tie. The tie is made from 100% imported silk. It also features Scotchgard™ built-in protection protects against dirt, soil and stains.


The unique feature of SwipeTie is that it can be used to cleaning off a dirty screen on your iPhone, Android Phone, Smartphone, and Tablet. This is a very good idea as how many times do we have to clean off the gadgets because it picked up dust, grime, and smudges.


Overall SwipeTie is an excellent Tie that doubles as a cleaning cloth. It will make you look like a million bucks while taken care of the phone you carry. I highly recommend you check out this product and see how great it is person.
