Back in 2008 we reviewed the Homestar PURE and found it to be a great little home planetarium.
This time, we look at its updated big brother, the bigger and brighter, Homestar Original.
Read on for our review.
Whether it was due to Hans Lippershey or Galileo Galilei, humans have been using lenses in cylindrical pipes to enlarge their world for centuries.
Now it’s our turn.
Read on for our take on Bushnell’s Trophy Extreme Spotting Scope along with some accompanying tripods from Fotopro.
Okay, this is a technology review site so why are we having a look at luggage and bags??
It comes as no surprise that our team sometimes has to travel with a fair bit of gear and in this day and age we need to be pretty savvy how we carry our stuff. Anti-theft measures are unfortunately highly necessary and that also includes electronic anti-theft (RFID safe pockets).
So let’s have a look at Travelon, a company that seems to specialise in protecting our hi-tech jewels in the best possible way. We review a backpack, a wheeled under-seat trolley, a convertible shoulder bag/backpack for the ladies and a small shoulder bag with plenty of room for passports, tablet and other valuables.
Plus, for good measure we’ll throw in a self-inflating seat cushion. Wondering how that works?
Come along on a recent domestic flight and trip when we practically lived out of these bags...
Over the next few months we hope to be doing a number of reviews on the powerful Victa 82V range of cordless garden tools.
We are kicking it off today with an impressive unit, the V82VGT lithium ion grass trimmer.
Let us show you how these Victa cordless tools can help you to do your gardening work quicker, with less mess, less noise and safer and perhaps even cheaper....
The observable universe is a fascinating place to discover and even though we have been spoiled with everything that NASA has been bringing out over the last few decades, nothing is as exciting as seeing it through your own eyes with the aid of a telescope.
We have spent quite a few hours over many weeks with the Meade ETX 90 Observer telescope which is a compact and very capable computer-driven system.
And this is what we discovered.
Routers are indispensable in our modern homes. They create data connections between all our devices as well as connecting us (with the help of modems) to that ethereal world wide network we call the Internet.
The RT2600 is Synology’s second generation router and it is looking to make some serious connections.

When Nikola Tesla unveiled his Teleautmaton in 1898, he couldn’t have known how ubiquitous remote controls would become. We now have a remote control for almost everything.
And Logitech wants to replace them.
All of them.
With Christmas over and all the new toys unwrapped, it seems the perfect time to take a look at an elegant way to display them all. Enter the CTGL 1200 display cabinet and our full review.
To survive as human beings we need air, water, food and shelter. In this modern age you may certainly add electric power to that short list. Without adequate power all but the basic agrarian societies would collapse.
Have you experienced a power outage lately? If you were in South Australia recently you would have experienced a major inconvenience at the very least when everything went dark. And even when the power goes back on the dramas are not over yet for many businesses where computers did not shut down properly when the power tripped.
Enter the Domain of the Uninterruptible Power Supply.
How can a UPS benefit not only businesses but also households?
We will have a look at why UPS units are lifelines for electronic equipment.
Specifically, we are looking at the 2200VA unit from CyberPower.
Like a lot of people that are fairly tall I have always suffered from a bad posture. That is not helped by a mainly sedentary work environment...
Well, now there is an app for that! Coupled with a device that will attach to your lower back which you can calibrate for when you sit perfectly straight, it will signal when you revert back to slouching. It is a training device which you can wear for up to 45 minutes a day to remind your back how great it is to feel straight again!
That’s the theory, but how does it work in practice?
