Almond+ Router/Smart Home Hub Kickstarter blasts by goal

March 6th - via: tuaw.com
Those who watched TUAW TV Live a few weeks ago may remember me describing some of the issues that I've run into with streaming video up to Ustream at the same time that my wife is connected to her office VPN. Hawaii's finest tech guru and new TUAW dude Shawn "Doc Rock" Boyd mentioned that he'd resolved similar problems by moving from an Apple AirPort Extreme to something called the Almond. After a few minutes of listening to Doc, looking at the device specs on Amazon, and checking out some of the buyer ratings, I bought one for US$80 and I'm happy I did. Securifi, the same company that created the Almond, is now running a Kickstarter for the Almond+, which should be of even more interest to Apple fans. (Read More)

Almond+ Smart Home Wireless 802.11ac Touchscreen WiFi Router Turn Your Crib Into The Home of Tomorrow

January 24th - via: gadgetreview.com
Are you satisfied with your 21st Century? Writer and manly man of bearded repute, Warren Ellis posed this very question in graphic novel form. The series was called Doktor Sleepless and pits a disgruntled technological genius against modernity itself. The good “Doktor” operates under the notion, if we can’t have the future we were promised, with its flying cars, instant-everything and remote-controlled everything else, then the world should be destroyed to spite those feeding off humanity’s stagnant technological growth and the counter-culture that resulted. It’s heady and convoluted but definitely interesting stuff. (Read More)

January 23rd - via: cultofmac.com
Securifi’s new Almond+ router, a touch-screen router — really the touch-screen router, since the only other router available with a touch screen is the earlier version of the Almond, released mid last year and still available on Amazon for $80 — went live today on Kickstarter. It’s already lassoed over $90,000 in backing as this post goes live, with a goal of $250,000; that’s a third of its funding goal, just within its first day on Kickstarter. (Read More)

IRL: Securifi Almond, Samsung Galaxy Note II and the LG Optimus G

January 20th - via: engadget.com
This is the one place where it's okay for us Engadget editors to be slightly behind the times. Back at CES a couple weeks ago, for instance, we got hands-on with the Securifi Almond+, a touchscreen router with a fancy all-white design and even fancier support for Zigbee / W-Wave home automation. Here in "IRL," though, we're just fine to talk about the OG Almond, which doesn't offer quite so many add-ons. Rounding things out, we've also got some anecdotes about the Galaxy Note II and Optimus G, neither of which need an introduction at this point. (Read More)
