October 1, 2014 By Ritchie

  Earlier, I had looked at the iPhone 6 Plus as a potentially awesome Google Phone. Of course, only a couple of days later, the interwebs were choking with news that the iPhone 6 Plus bends.

CES 2012: Nest Makes Home Climate Control Cool.

January 11, 2012 By Ritchie

Inside the Nest Thermostat

Who would have thought that a thermostat could be sexy? Then again, companies like Dyson and Apple have shown just how seemingly innocuous or technical products can become something akin to a piece of art. Nest takes the idea of a thermostat and drags it kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Based on a […]

Dyson Ball DC39 Vacuum Cleaner: First Look

October 10, 2011 By Ritchie

What do vacuum cleaners and mobile phones have in common? Both have game changing industry leaders who never gave up on their dream of building a better product and were willing to eschew the “let’s make it cheaper, so we can sell more” mindset that some manufacturers fall into.

Apple’s Steve Jobs: The Game Changer

August 29, 2011 By Ritchie

A young Steve Jobs with the whole world at his feet

Here’s a true story. A couple of months ago I had to make a trip to one of our new stores to help train the sales staff. I loaded the store’s address into my GPS so I could get to the store quickly and efficiently. I had a couple of new albums that I’d purchased […]

From iPhone to Android…and Back?

August 16, 2011 By Ritchie

Android verses iOS5

Ever since I migrated from my iPhone 4 to a new Samsung Galaxy S II, I’ve been keen to cover my experiences using the Android platform. With iOS 5 due to be released later this year, I thought it would be a great opportunity to see what the competitor smartphone ecosystem had to offer, and […]
