Roger Federer dons Google Glass, gives us a glimpse of a tennis match

Want to see what it’s like to play tennis through the eyes of a 17-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer? You’ll get a quick glimpse of that thanks to Google Glass. Federer recently visited the search giant’s headquarters to play a friendly match with coach and former world number one Stefan Edberg. You can just see how different it is a professional tennis player sees a game and how effortless it would seem compared to any of our amateur efforts.

Review: Belkin QODE "Thin Type" keyboard case for the iPad Air 

The last time I reviewed a Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad was the Logitech Ultra-thin keyboard case. It was, and is, a great option for those like me who are on the go constantly, and rely on the convenience of their iPad to get a lot of work done. Issue is, every time something good is released, chances are there is someone in the woodwork readying something that much better.

Such is the case with the QODE thin type keyboard from Belkin.

Let’s take a deeper look at why this keyboard is worth every penny of the investment.

Review: The RFID fraud-proof HuMn wallet

For a man, one of the most tedious decisions he can make in life is choosing the right wallet to stick with for a long period of time. Big, small, vertical and horizontal; they come in all shapes and sizes. Right when we find the one we really like, something new is introduced to us that completely throws off our equilibrium and makes us second guess everything we have been doing thus far. Ok, admittedly, I may have exaggerated my point just a wee bit, but picking a good wallet is really hard and not a decision to take lightly. After 29 years, I have finally settled on keeping my cards and cash separate and, for the most part I am happy.

Recently, I was pitched on a Kickstarter project that caught my eye: the HuMn wallet. Simplistic and cool, it aimed to hold both my cash and cards, while protecting me from dreaded RFID fraud (thieves who steal your card information directly from your pockets).

Perfect, huh? So I bit and opted for the neon green iteration.
