Attack This: Outdoor And More

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 16:35:00 GMT

Now, today’s stuff is pretty cool and you’re going to want to buy it, but we don’t want to here any whining. Don’t give us any of your, “But, I’m already refinancing my house to pay for the stuff you showed last week on Attack This.”

We all wish money grew on trees, but it doesn’t. You’re just going to have to get a third job. The second job you got so you could afford the stuff from two weeks ago just isn’t cutting it anymore.

We don’t review scientific calculators here and Hell will freeze over before we ever talk about a refrigerator with a USB port and built in monitor.

Today, Wil O'Neal will review the Nokia N95.

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 16:37:00 GMT

Every now and again we like to slow things down, dim the lights, lie down by the fireplace (perhaps put on some Barry White) and play with our gadgets. That’s not code for anything; we mean it in a literal sense, so put the whipped cream and strawberries back in the fridge.

After you’ve done that, make sure to grab your remote and tune in for an all new Gadget Pr0n. Our own tech expert, Wil O’Neal’s going to review all of the sexy tech products that drive the ladies (and tech buffs) wild.

Today, he’ll be reviewing the Nokia n76.

AOTS Hardware With Wil O'Neal

Mon, 18 Jun 2007 16:39:00 GMT

Have you ever gone into an electronics store looking for a piece of equipment, lets say a 1080p TV set, to complement your swank bachelor pad and had the salesman try to pawn an over priced, under performing piece of crap on you? Who cares if they have one of them at home?

From the moment they open their mouths you get the feeling that they’re trying more to make a sale than they are to help you. We know that sucks and that’s why we came up with AOTS Hardware. We’re here to inform and enlighten you about all things electronic. Plus, you can trust us, because we don’t get paid based on commission.

We review a lot of gadgets on AOTS Hardware. In case you hadn’t noticed, that’s kind of our thing, but we’re more than just a one trick pony.

It’s not all about reviewing and using the gadgets that get us the ladies. Sometimes it’s about reporting on the tech industry that produces the gadgets that get us the ladies. This is one of those times.

On today’s AOTS Hardware Wil O’Neal will talk about what's going on with Sony's camcorder line, discuss Kodak's latest innovations and give you sideline commentary about the war between HD-DVD and Blu-ray. He’ll also review the Surveyor SRV-1 Mobile Robotic Webcam.

Alright, put that Hi8 camcorder away, stop listening to those cassette tapes and for the love of Blu-ray, hide that Betamax player!

There’s no reason to hang on to technology from the 80’s (or the 90’s for that matter). We understand, years ago, before AOTS, there was no way you could know that laser discs weren’t going to make a comeback.

Now, there’s someone here to help you sort that kind of stuff out and his name is Wil O’Neal. Please, accept his help. You don’t want your friends and family to perform a gadget intervention, do you?

Today, Wil's going to review the Toshiba Regza 42HL167 1080P TV, the ION USB Turntable and the Genius Look 313 5-in-1 Webcam.

Technology moves and it moves fast. One day you’re feeling like hot stuff because you’re the only guy strutting around with a beige cell phone that’s the size of a brick and the next day all of your friends are laughing at you because you’ve got no idea what a Bluetooth headset is.

Nobody wants to get left behind, but with new technological marvels hitting store shelves every day, how are you supposed to figure out what smart phone is right for you or which personal media player won’t make you look like a total dork? There’s only one way, watching AOTS Hardware with the one man who can keep you from being left in the digital dust, Wil O’Neal.
