Oh, quite a journey we have had so far in just a few short months. Even though the Apple Watch was released on April 24th, the device was first announced practically a year earlier, and rumors had been swirling forever that Apple was entering the wearable market. I feel like this watch had the potential to be …
There’s no way around it — the Marantz SR7012 is a complete powerhouse. There are 11 channels of processing, support for every multi-dimensional audio format like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and even the non-existent Auro-3D. The fantastic Marantz HEOS app support is built-in alongside Audyssey MultiEQ XT32, and a brand new update that enables Apple AirPlay …
Bentley’s Bentayga is a vehicle that certainly evokes a wide range of reactions. Is it a glorified Audi Q7? There’s Volkswagen hardware buttons on the hand-stitched leather hide steering wheel, after all. It shares the same platform with the new-generation Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne, and yes, the Audi Q7. And how about the styling? A …
As a Jura coffee machine owner on and off over the last 10 years or so, I was eager to give the company’s new ENA Micro 90 a go. While I used to use larger super-automatic models like the C9, I have gravitated to the ENA line out of footprint size. I don’t drink more …
Tesla’s Model S may very well go down as one of the most important and impactful cars in history. Not only did it enjoy a seemingly endless number of accolades and awards, it single-handedly kickstarted the EV revolution into high gear.

Wireless charging? You’re dreaming. Widgets? It barely has them now. Removable storage? You know what… just writing that whole list of Apple’s late …
When you think of subscription services, media-based companies like Spotify and Netflix are probably the first ones to come to mind. Interestingly enough, now comes word that one of the world’s premier luxury automakers wants to roll out a unique and forward-thinking take on the subscription model. According to a report from Bloomberg, Porsche is …
As most of you have probably heard, the high-end watch phone company Vertu recently went out of business. That’s actually way too elegant of a statement — after being sold three times since initially being offloaded by Nokia, the brand’s original owner, the company couldn’t meet obligations. It stiffed workers on two months of pay …
Aston Martin — yes, the century-old auto manufacturer that has long been a favorite of James Bond — has either completely lost its mind or has grown bored building its incredibly powerful, incredibly expensive luxury sports cars, because the company just announced that it’s going to build and sell submarines. The project, which is being …
As most of you know, I’m a pretty big fan of the Apple Watch. Both the current iteration as well as what it means for the future of interaction and integration with technology into our lives.
