The New Logo

// July 1st, 2010 // No Comments » // Byte Sized, Fun, Gadgets, Hardware, Photos, Reviews, Tech, TechKnowledgey

A new logo was created for The Devir Kahan Network and cool round stickers of it were ordered to be affixed to my laptop. In this episode of Byte Sized the new logo is officially shown, and the new sticker finds its place on my MacBook.

My iOS 4 Home-Screens

// June 12th, 2010 // No Comments » // Apple, Electronics, Gadgets, Internet, Life, Media, Photos, Reviews, Software, Tech, iPhone

Considering that I now have iOS 4 installed before it’s official release date, I was able to play around a bit with it’s new (and quite frankly awesome and insanely useful) app organization features. You can now use folders to organize your apps, which is really great for quite a few reasons. I like being organized, and I figured, why not at least show you my new iPod Touch’s Home-Screens (I only have 2 now!) on the new iOS 4. So here they are in all their folder-full glory:

You like?

There are quite a few other nice features as well, and iOS 4 goes live for everyone in just a few more weeks on the (excuse me while I check my calendar…. ah, yes…) 21st of June. Excited? I am.

The UPS

// May 31st, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Electronics, Gadgets, General, Hardware, How To, Information, Reviews, Tech, TechKnowledgey

If you have any sort of electronics at all plugged into outlets, odds are, you may be at serious risk of a surge resulting in the death of said electronic device. And even if you are not at risk, you may not know all you need to about protecting your gadgets from too much electricity, from keeping your computer alive during a blackout, to making sure your lamp doesn’t spontaneously combust. Luckily, that’s all about to change.

Some iPad Doodles

// May 28th, 2010 // No Comments » // Apple, Electronics, Entertainment, Fun, Media, Photos, Reviews, Software, Tech, iPad

One of the first apps for the iPad that I downloaded was Adobe’s Ideas. It’s a drawing app that I only took a glance at when I first downloaded it. After a few long car rides recently though, I realized that there is really some great power to the app and that I could create some pretty cool doodles. Take a look:

Ape Dude iPad Doodle

If you’re wondering what exactly I was thinking when I drew those, I couldn’t tell you. I honestly don’t know myself (and certainly neither does my sister – which I extrapolated, by the way, due to her snide remarks as I sketched). But what I can tell you is that I always sort of liked drawing, and the features that this app gives you are really great. You can switch up colors on the fly from a full color palette (although as of now there is no easy way to go back to a previous one), you can zoom in REALLY close to do all the detail work, it’s a pretty slick app for drawing. I’d go download it if you have an iPad and don’t already have the app. And yes, it’s free.

So why am I sharing all of this with you? No clue.

Pocket This Camera

// May 24th, 2010 // No Comments » // Gadgets, Hardware, How To, Media, Reviews, Software, Tech, TechKnowledgey, Video

Nowadays, everyone wants a simple, easy to use, pocket sized, and yet superior HD video camera. Unfortunately, because of that, many companies have created quite an array of pocket camcorders to choose from. Thankfully, Devir was able to narrow it down to just the four best (all of which are great choices), and then seems to have a way with them to get them to talk, and explain themselves as to which one, specifically, is right for you.
