If you can’t bear leaving your little Muffin at home, then you may want to look into this U-Pet Bubble Pet Carrier. I’m not kitten, it’s the cutest and most functional pet carrier I’ve seen in a long time. Sure, there are carriers out there right meow that may have all the functionality, but not that adorable little window for your sweet kitty to peer out of! 

There are multiple designs available to choose from and there is a built in security leash, a soft washable pad on the inside and it’s been approved by most major airlines. The carrier itself is 4.1 pounds and will hold a pet up to 16 pounds. This design is available for $148.99 on Amazon and you can go directly to the U-Pet website to get a better look at all the designs they have. Curious people will no longer have to ask to look inside your carrier because your cat will have already made eye contact with them as you walked by.

New MacBook chargers don’t have wings but PowerPlay can make traveling with your MacBook easier again

For some unknown reason, newer MacBook and MacBook Pro chargers no longer have two fold out wings to wind excess cable around. What’s up with that Apple? Instead of mumbling under your breath every time you need to carry your MacBook and charger with you when you travel, consider PowerPlay. PowerPlay adds cord organization capability to your existing charger so you can thumb your nose at Apple.

The PowerPlay adds a leather cord reel to your existing MacBook and MacBook Pro charger that attached to your power adapter with an elastic band. You don’t have to remove it when you want to use the adapter as it will keep the cables neatly organized and out of the way even when the charger is plugged in.

You can roll out the length of the cable that you need and keep the rest neatly stored on the reel.

You can buy a PowerPlay in various colors for $35. Visit abovethefray.co for more info and Amazon to order some colors for $29.99.

If your favorite color is black, you’re going to love the Swiza Swiss army style knife

Nine times out of ten, when we get offers to review cases, bags, ear buds, etc, that come in more than one color, the male members of The Gadgeteer always choose black. Are guys afraid of a little color because it’s not considered manly? If that’s the case, then the Swiza D03 ALLBLACK knife has OD’d on testosterone.

Designed and manufactured in Switzerland, the Swiza knife features an admittedly cool looking matte black polytetrafluoroethylene (otherwise known as Teflon) coating on all the parts.

It has a 440 steel 75mm (2.95 in) locking blade, a corkscrew, a punch, an awl, tweezers, a bottle opener, a flat-head No. 3 screwdriver, a wire bender, a can opener, and a No. 1 flat-head screwdriver.

Disney dumps Netflix to start their own streaming service in 2019

If you like watching Disney movies via Netflix enjoy it while you can because starting in 2019 that will come to an end. The “Mouse House” announced that they’re ending their short relationship with Netflix to start their own direct-to consumer streaming service starting in 2019. 

It was only May of last year that the Entertainment Giant announced their exclusive partnership with Netflix. Giving them exclusive rights to movies from Marvel, Lucas Film, Pixar and of course Disney itself. Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that the partnership would end in 2019, referring to the decision as a “strategic shift in the way we distribute our content.”

There were not a lot of other details given by Iger. For now, all that we know for sure is that Disney is parting ways with Netflix in 2019. The new yet to be named Disney service will obviously carry movies from Disney and Pixar. What is not immediately known is whether or not movies from Marvel and Star Wars will also be available on the new service.

One unfortunate result of today’s announcement was that Netflix’s stock took an immediate dip a few points. I’m sure that the powers that be over at Netflix are probably thinking “well isn’t that just Supercalifragilisticexpiaslidocious.”
