  • VidyoDesktop Review

    Executive Overview It has been a long time developing, but, this past week I finally had a chance to download and meet with people using Vidyo. Several people had suggested I test it and also told me how good the video was.  So I was expecting a lot.  Usually, when I have high expectations I…

  • SmartShopper Review

        Rating:  3 WaterTowers I was browsing through the Amazon web site looking for something cool for my wife for Christmas when I stumbled upon the SmartShopper.

  • Access Grid Videoconferencing

    Rating: 2 WaterTowers Results Overview The Access Grid is loaded with features and capabilities for collaborating, for free, with remote colleagues.  Unfortunately, it is a bit complicated to install and use, and, in fact, I have not yet been able to get two way video and audio.  As a comparison, every commercially available videoconferencing application…

  • Sony Blu-Ray Player Review

    Rating:  4 WaterTowers For Christmas this year before we run out of money (remember starving blogger and substitute teacher) my wife gave me a Sony Blu Ray player.

  • Google Gmail Video Chat Review

    Rating: 3 WaterTowers Summary I signed up for Gmail (twice) and then downloaded the Google Videoconferencing application to see how well it works. Result: It works well although it appears to be limited to point-to-point video and text chat (i.e. no whiteboard or app sharing). Is it easy enough for “GrandMa” to use? No. But,…

  • Google Chrome Review

    Rating: 3.5 WaterTowers I have been seeing a smattering of Google Chrome browsers hitting my blogs and main web site so I decided to find out more. I downloaded Google Chrome a few days ago and have now made it my “default” browser. Really quickly here is what I have found out: Google Chrome has…

  • iPod Touch Review

    Rating: 4 WaterTowers My wife was deciding on an iPod or an iPod Touch. Being selfish, and wanting to play with the iPod Touch so I could write about it here, I encouraged her to spend the big bucks on a 32 Gig iPod Touch. I won! Hmmmm, in 25 years I think that is…

    Linksys Wireless Router Installation and Review

    Rating: 4 WaterTowers This past week I purchased and installed a Linksys Wireless Router for a client. But before I installed the system at their location, I tried it at home to make sure it worked. It did.
