DKnight MagicBox Wireless Speakers Review

The DKnight MagixBox Wireless Speaker is exactly what the name implies, a wireless speaker. For those of you who are looking for a cheap Bluetooth speaker with some decent sound quality then look no further. With a price tag of $27.99 on Amazon you can by this amazing sounding speaker. There is another alternative speaker with better Bass called the Ion Storm, but that will have to wait for another day. Although I cannot give a lot of specific details about the speaker itself, I can however give you my personal experience was well as a general overview as to what the speaker does. So let’s get started and look at this nicely crafted speaker.

Social media has made it easier than ever to tell a company about your experience as a customer, whether it was good or bad. But because so many people are on sites like Twitter and Facebook, you can't always connect in a real way. That is what Zummii has stepped in to fix, putting you right into communication with interested businesses that want to hear about your experience. They even want to reward you for it.

FlyNRate iPhone App: Real Flight and Airport Ratings

Avid travelers will have their share of airline horror stories. Some are filled with minor inconveniences, such as delayed flights on the tarmac or cancellations that led to a longer wait for another plane. But some are truly awful, and I have friends who have gotten food poisoning from the meals, had airlines claim their ticket was never purchased despite confirmation numbers, and even one friend only twenty pounds (give or take) overweight being forced to buy a second seat, despite causing no complications for other passengers.

Review of TuneIn Radio for iOS and Android

I like listening to music on both my iPad and iPhone. I also like listening to the radio. I don't have to worry about adding new songs to some playlist, the radio just continues to play music all day, and all night, the only breaks being commercials. The radio stations that I do like, have iPhone apps, but the issue with them is the audio quality is quite poor. One day I started to look for some music apps on the App Store, and I came across TuneIn Radio. After a few minutes of using it, I loved it.

What is TuneIn Radio?

TuneIn Radio allows you to listen to radio stations of many different genres, from all around the world. No matter what your tastes in music may be, chances are this app has the station for you. According to its description in iTunes: "TuneIn offers over 70,000 stations and 2 million on demand programs for you to choose from." In other words, you have a lot of choice when it comes to music.

Fourth generation iPad review

The fourth generation iPad has been out for about two months now, with a new iPad possibly on it’s way in the spring. I’ve been using the new iPad for a few weeks now, and my experiences with it have been positive to say the least. I chose to get the iPad not because it was popular, but because I liked what I seen. The performance that it delivered in store was much better than the performance of my last tablet, a Motorola Xoom; the online reviews of the iPad were overall, quite positive, and the app support was much better than what any Android tablet could deliver at the time of me writing this. I thought about the Microsoft Surface, but apps and performance made me think twice about that option. Although it does look like a nice tablet, Windows RT, poor app support, and performance issues made me decide against that tablet. I thought the decision through, and eventually decided that the iPad would probably be the best tablet for me. 


Once I got the iPad home, and got it out of the box, the setup process was pretty simple. I applaud Apple on the simple setup process, and simple UI throughout all of iOS. I made it through the setup process in less than five minutes, and then it was ready to use, and test.
