    Are there are keyboards, mice and/or trackpads which will connect at Bluetooth 4 frequency, or are such input devices not made? I installed a Bluetooth 4 USB adapter on my Mini in hopes of mitigating the well known Mini usb/bt/wifi interference problem which is due, as I understand it, to...

    [Review] Mpow bluetooth earbuds

    Disclaimer: I was contacted by the company to review these earbuds. After using them for two weeks I have one bad thing to say about them, so we'll start with that. This is a magnetic necklace design. That means that you can hang it around your neck and not loose it, because the back of the...

    Bluetooth headphones that charge via Lightning?

    I find it pretty convenient to charge my iPhone, iPad, trackpad and keyboard via a single lightning cable. However, that raises the question for me if there are any bluetooth headphones on the market that charge via lightning as well? It's not that I'm in a hurry to buy new ones - I love my...

    So I have an old mid 2010 Mac Mini, the unibody model that still had a superdrive, and I'm thinking of enlisting it as a media centre device so I can reliably watch stuff from my computer in my living room, as well as replacing my DVD player with it (I'm also hoping to swap the superdrive for a...
