Apple Document Says They Will Now Repair iPhones that Have 3rd-Party Batteries

Apple has come a long way with their ideas on repairs and who should be responsible and under what conditions. For years their policy was once someone outside of Apple worked on the machine, it would invalidate the warranty. It was great business for them but made things difficult for their customers. They relaxed their rules two years ago with regards to repairing iPhones, deciding to loosen their repair policy for iPhones with a third-party display. That opened things up for people with cracked screens, and the industry has responded with pop-up shops all over that will replace screens very cheaply while still keeping warranties… Read more

Are Private Game Servers Legal?

Online games that are hosted on a central server are quite common. Unfortunately, they have a unique flaw as time goes on.

If the developer is successful, they can revive a game that has since… Read more

AZIO keyboards make me want to go full on steampunk

NEWS – I’ve always been a fan of steampunk themed products because I like their gritty mechanical look and feel. I’m also a sucker for products that combine gears, levers, buttons, leather, and wood into retro-futuristic sculptures that actually do something useful. That’s why these retro compact Bluetooth keyboards from AZIO are calling my name.

AZIO has offered a variety of full-sized keyboards for a while now, but their Retro Compact Keyboard (RCK) series are more… well… compact! They offer these keyboards in all of the materials that I mentioned liking above. They feature mechanical backlit clicky keys resting over a leather or wood plate wrapped in a metallic frame.

Available in black, copper, white, or wood finishes, these are premium keyboards with a premium $219.99 price to match. If you’re ready to spend your tax refund, head over to aziocorp.com for all the details. Amazon carries some of the models as well.
