In these hard financial times with the economy being questionable and all that, it can be a good idea to see if it’s possible to cut down on costs on not only major purchases, but on all purchases.

If you’re looking for in-depth Nikon D5000 reviews, check out these great ressources. They do a much better job at reviewing cameras, than I would ever be able … Read more →
Apple is really screwing things up when it comes to the iPhone 4 and its antenna issues. First, Steve Jobs sends an e-mail to an iPhone 4 user telling him to just don’t hold it that way (the way that causes the reception to drop). Really bad customer service, Steve! Well, shortly after he writes … Read more →
Oh man, it’s times like these that I miss my TomTom GPS which I let go after I bought Navigon for iPhone (which is great, by the way!). Back when I did have my TomTom, I had it with the Homer Simpson voice. Weird, I know, but it was fun! Now it gets even better, … Read more →
Got your shiny new iPad and want to protect it just a little bit? That’s what I wanted, plus I felt that the back of the iPad was too slippery for me to feel comfortable when using it as an e-reader. Putting the iPad into some kind of leather’ish case not only protects it, but … Read more →
It’s just about 8 months since YouTube added support for 1080p video, also known as Full HD, and now they’re ready with an even higher resolution: 4K. 4K video has a resolution of, you better sit down, 4096×2304 pixels. That’s more than four times as much as Full HD (1080p). I don’t think my Mac … Read more →

With cloud computing, piracy is impossible. … Read more →
iFlicks is a neat little application that I found while searching for an alternative to VideoMonkey which is still a bit too buggy for my taste. Basically, I’ve had it with the monkey and I wouldn’t mind paying a small fee for an app that just works. iFlicks is such an app. It was designed … Read more →
With over 500 million users and 176 billion ads shown on Facebook during Q1 2010, Facebook is now both a huge social media network and a booming economy for many companies. This means you have to be careful about how you use Facebook. While they depend on their users, they also depend on showing you … Read more →
It’s now one year since I first launched TechPatio.com. June 22nd, 2009, was the date I published the first article on TechPatio.com. It was not my first article though, because I had another more personal blog back then, but I decided to start TechPatio and this was my first article: What would you do if … Read more →
Now that the iPad has been been announced, launched and sold in millions, the tablet rumors have ended. But a new thing is under way, since Taiwanese site Apple.pro posted two photos of what seems to be a 3x3cm Apple touch sensitive display. Engadget seems believe this is real and not fake. Obviously it’s real … Read more →
This week I’ve received no less than three Sony products for review, that I can’t wait to get started with. They are: Sony HX5V Digical Camera “10x optical zoom, 25mm wide angle Sony G Lens, 3.0” screen, “Exmor R” CMOS sensor, Intelligent Sweep Panorama, 10fps at full 10.2MP, Anti-Motion Blur / Hand-held Twilight, AVCHD Movie … Read more →
Remember the iPad disassembly video by TechRestore? That was really cool. Now TechRestore did it again with the iPhone 4 (and the Droid, but that’s an older video). I don’t know why, there’s just something really cool about these videoes – it’s probably the robotic sounds and movements and the fact that you get to … Read more →
