Win a collector’s item: a Behringer iNuke Boom Junior speaker dock
I’m usually very good about turning around reviews; usually within a week or two of receiving a review device or accessory I’ve had a chance to try it out, take photos, and write it up.

Baby Monitor 3G makes watching your baby much easier with new OS X version
Having a baby requires constant vigilance — morning and night you are watching over your little one to keep them safe and happy. One indispensable tool for parents is a baby monitor that lets you watch over your child from afar. If you have an old iOS device lying around, then you might want to skip the traditional audio or camera-based monitors and take a look at Baby Monitor 3G and its new OS X version to see if this software package fits your baby-watching needs.

How To Check Mac, iPhone, iPad and iPod touch Warranty Status Online
The Apple iPhone is a very expensive gadget to own, and so stands to reason, then, that repairs would also cost more than your average device.
The value of having a warranty system in place in the event of a problem can never be underestimated, and with the iPhone benefiting from the one-year manufacturer’s cover, those who’ve recently purchased an iPhone can, in the circumstance of hardware / software failure, head over to Apple for a repair.
