  Al Zani and Shawn O’Neil crowd around him. The three men are New England law enforcement to their core: Costello is a young special agent in the FBI’s Boston office with a reputation as a skilled interviewer. Zani is a… Read More ›

• The Christopher Ward C65 Chronograph

  By Shaun on March 22, 2021 • ( 0 )

  Well, it’s another win for the team at Christopher Ward. The C65 Chronograph rounds out the model family with a bang of color and wearability. With the screw-down pushers (no thanks) and the depth rating, perhaps appending “Diver” to the… Read More ›

• iPhone Flip

  By Shaun on March 21, 2021 • ( 0 )

  A super professional concept video, but this style of flip makes no sense to me. You may get a more pocket friendly device, but the compromises required would be far too numerous to make it worthwhile. And, how many people… Read More ›

• ‘Trapped’ by the iPhone

  By Shaun on March 21, 2021 • ( 3 )

  I have willingly trapped myself in the Apple ecosystem, and I’m not looking for a way out. I’d wager that this is the case for a lot of others, too, given how effectively the company has managed to market itself… Read More ›

• I don’t trust Windows’ stability

  By Shaun on March 20, 2021 • ( 0 )

  I’ve been using Macs and Windows PCs ever since they became available. For the last 12 years, it’s been a Mac at home and a Windows 7 PC at work until I retired. Now I use Windows 10 in Boot… Read More ›

  The iXpand Flash Drive Luxe comes with not one but two connectors so you can easily move files between your iPhone, iPad Pro, Mac, and USB Type-C devices, including Android phones. Say goodbye to emailing photos between devices. Once files… Read More ›

  I’m with the rest of the herd when it comes to praising this generation of Bulova Oceanographer Snorkel 666 Devil Diver. Firstly, it comes from a trusted brand. I think that adds a bit of panache even if the brand… Read More ›
