Review: Bowers and Wilkins P5 Wireless

Introduction Without wanting to sound too much like a disappointed Gordon Ramsey, judging some inept chef… Damn, these are some frustrating headphones.

How to block Android Wear notifications

Adjusting settings on your smartphone As much as companies try to convince us a smartwatch is going to change our lives, a big part of their appeal is the ability to see who just called/SMS’d/Whatsapp’d you without removing your phone from your pocket.
