Review - Wacom Intuos Pro Tablet

The Wacom Intuos Pro Tablet is the latest tool from Wacom for creatives who work with digital media. Wacom was founded in 1983, and has held the majority of the market share for digitizers ever since. In fact, most creative professionals are deeply attached to, if not in love with, their Wacom Tablets. Educators have long utilized these tools to bridge the haptic world to the anesthetic touch-free palette of digital imaging software. The vast majority of tools in applications like Photoshop or Corel Painter are “tablet aware” and the moment you plug in a tablet, the tools respond to pressure, angle, erasure, and programmable hot keys. What does the newest Wacom Intuos Pro Tablet promise users? Read our review to find out!

Review – Innova 3160g, 3100j OBD2 ScanTools with ABS & SRS, & 3211a DRIVE Bluetooth Code Reader

Computers have been an integral aspect of automobile design for the past 40 years. Initially they were just limited to engine controls, but now the technology is virtually unlimited and touches upon every aspect of a modern automobile. Does a lit “Check Engine” light start your day? Want to know what it means, and how to reset it? The solution is a code reader. Code Readers, once relegated to dealerships and professional auto repair shops, are now easily available, and the Innova line is highly regarded among DIY-ers and professionals alike. In this review we look at three different units from Innova – their 3160g and 3100j OBD2 ScanTools and the consumer friendly 3211a DRIVE Bluetooth Code Reader.
