We here at SvenOnTech love, love, our Sonos. We can listen to our vast music library and change tracks, volume, and so forth, from anywhere in the house.

So, how are you going to stuff that Compact Flash (CF) card of yours from your DSLR into your MacBook Pro or new-fangled PC laptop with its ExpressCard 34 (34 for 34mm in width)? Since your CF card is a bit wider than the ExpressCard slot, you have to either use a USB or FireWire […]
The wonderful key fob. Yes, fob. So many in my family crack up when I tell them the correct name of that black thing attached to their key that locks and unlocks their door as well as creates the all-ignored “panic” alert.
Reports are, GM will be bringing an even better fob in April to […]

Dude, it’s almost like I’m looking at LL Cool J’s Radio album cover all over. Well not quite, but still, the look reminds me of it and the actual GE boombox I had back in high school. Man, this looks so much like it, sans the iPod and digital clock, that it’s shocking. […]

There’s nothing more annoying than having a cell phone that works great were you work but gets near zero signal at home. Or vice verse. My brother in-law (and SvenOnTech reviewer) gets about a bar in his home which leads to many dropped calls. Sometimes I can’t even get a hold of […]
