Oct 1st, 2012 at 8:00AM: I had a moment of anxiety when I boarded a recent flight from Amsterdam to Seattle. The middle cabin, where I was seated, was full of very small children. Now, before you hit send on that hate mail, let me tell you that I am always sympathetic with the yowling little ones; they're expressing exactly how I feel when I park myself in coach for a ten hour flight. But the noise, oh, lord, the noise, ...

May 15th, 2012 at 9:00AM: There's no device I love to hate as much as I hate to love my iPhone. (You read that right.) Your mileage may vary; you may not feel like both a chump and a devotee while caressing your mobile whatever. Until I attain your Zen-like state, I feel annoyed whenever I find myself buying presents for my phone, even if they are practical and make using my phone a better experience. Here's the drill on ...

Jan 22nd, 2010 at 1:30PM: I have been blessed with the gift of being able to sleep on virtually any moving vehicle. I've slept in large airplanes, small propeller planes, trucks on unsealed roads, cars, trains and boats. I sleep without the help of drugs, herbal supplements or any other gimmicks. I find my seat and my brain seems to decide, "Hey, this is going to be boring; let's just skip it." Several hours later, I wake ...

In one of the final Gadling gear reviews of 2009, I'll show off the Audio-Technica QuietPoint ATH-ANC3 noise canceling headphones. The ATH-ANC3's use active noise cancellation to drown out the noise around you.

Apr 20th, 2008 at 1:40PM: I'm a gadget junkie by any definition. When I planned my year long trip around the world, I literally spent more time considering the gear I brought with me than I did planning which countries I'd go to.
But hey... if you're well prepared, you're ready for anything, right?
For the first ever episode of Gadling Gear, I thought it only appropriate that I cover one of the most useful and perfect ...
