For this week's Show and Tell, Norm tests the Radian, a motion time-lapse device that was funded on Kickstarter. This cylindrical camera mount works with a free iOS app to trigger DSLR camera shutters at specified intervals to shoot a moving time-lapse video. And when combined with the Frameographer iOS app, a DSLR isn't even needed.
Will and Norm get juiced this week while testing two recommended juicers that use different juice extraction techniques. One is a centrifugal juicer that uses a fast-spinning grinding blade, and the other is a masticating juicer that crushes fruit and vegetables into submission. But which yields the most juice?

Google's Nexus 4 Android smartphone is finally back in stock for anyone to buy. This flagship Nexus phone is sold off contract at an incredible price, but lacks LTE. We live with it for a month and test its capabilities to decide if having no LTE matters day-to-day.
Will and Norm sit down to talk in-depth about the Nexus 4 smartphone, and why, despite having no LTE connectivity, it's their favorite Android phone available today.
We test the new Mophie Juice Pack Helium battery case for Apple's iPhone 5. With a 1500mAh battery, it theoretically doubles the lifespan of an iPhone. But in practice, there are several compromises with a battery pack that make it less attractive than a separate external USB battery.

We review and have an in-depth discussion about the Sony RX100, a compact camera that's more than your typical point-and-shoot. Its large sensor and wide aperture lens produce great photos, and its numerous shooting modes makes it easy for amateurs to use without fiddling with too many settings.

Will and Norm review amazon's Kindle Fire HD 8.9" tablet, evaluating its proficiency in playing high-def videos, displaying e-books, browsing the web, and streaming other kinds of media. There are plenty of reasons to like it, but also plenty of faults to nitpick as well. For our more in-depth discussion, watch this video.
We run through the good and the bad of Nintendo's new game console, the Wii U. Watch this video to get a sense of the Wii U's user experience, backwards compatibility support, video playback options, and new tablet-like GamePad. Plus, the one thing about the Wii U that just drives us nuts.
