Assaulting Batteries? Guilty as Charged.

Mac heads are normally a pretty cohesive group — that is until you ask what “magic” product they prefer using. Both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad have their respective advantages, but until recently, dealing with frequent battery changes was an issue for either side. Thanks to the Mobee Magic Charger ($50) the tides have [...]

The company has become a bit of an aging aficionado, which included an expansion of their brewery and the addition of a [...]

911 Heaven

Okay, so the iconic Porsche 911′s overall shape hasn’t changed much in the last 40 years, but it has certainly become a more complex design.

Traveling to Crewe, England we buried ourselves in everything from nearly a century’s worth of motoring history, Bentley’s unrivaled bespoke designs, to a rare all-access pass of the entire [...]

Sensory Overload

7pm, Saturday | Somewhere at the crossroads of an overzealous stage-tech’s wet dream, a rave and Stomp is Fuerza Bruta — a kinetic aerial show that’s been running at New York’s Daryl Roth Theater for a few years. Yeah, we’re kind of late to this one. It’s not a show for everyone, but if you [...]
