I just wanted to take a minute to apologize to our readers for any inconvenience you may have experienced with the site these last couple of days.  It seems we were the target of a malicious attack.  Well, let me back up a minute.

Earlier in the week, we started getting word from readers (starting with our good friend Alison from Astraware) that they were receiving some odd errors when attempting to visit JAMM.  Many of you may have received these messages as well.  The error reported that JAMM was linked to a site which had some malicious code.

After a few consistent reports of these problems, we started checking out our databases to determine what was causing this problem.  Before long, our experts Daniel and TJ had identified the problem as a trojan virus, which had entered the site through our ad server (we subsequently found a security patch which fixed exactly this vulnerability).

Once we had identified the problem, the rest was a matter of plugging the hole and cleaning up the site.  Long time team member, tjchan, took care of that today.  We removed the ad server database, and scoured the site with a myriad of tools.  Thanks to tjchan’s hard work, I am happy to report that JAMM now appears to be completely malware free.  So, please feel free to surf the site in confidence once again.

As always, if you do notice any problems while surfing the site (or attempting to surf the site) please report them to admin[at]justanothermobilemonday.com.

The USBCell is a neat little AA battery that comes in packs of two, and it charges through the USB ports you already have on your computer. I don’t need to tell you how amazing and convenient this product can be for travelling and general home usage, but I do need to tell you how it all works. This is a review, after all.

Most everything about the USBCell is the same as any other AA battery, down to the physical size and weight. The major difference is the slightly reduced battery capacity (1300mAh, as opposed to the 1500-2000+ mAh on my other rechargeable batteries) and, of course, the hidden male USB port in the green cap. The cap is held securely in place by a simple elastic string, but it works, and doesn’t seem like it will break off any time soon.

Charging the USBCell takes about five hours, and the LED will stop glowing once the battery is fully charged. You won’t want to touch the batteries while they charge because they get quite hot, but you won’t suffer from burns either.

There isn’t too much more to say about the design of the USBCell, except that it isn’t obnoxious. Each battery takes up only one USB port, and none of the space above or beside it. This means you can comfortably fit two USBCells in both of the USB ports of a MacBook Pro without blocking anything else.

Battery life wasn’t all that simple to test, although I didn’t expect to see that big a difference, given the rate that most AA-charged accessories use up battery. I started my “test” on June 22 by charging each USBCell to max, and then stuck them into the Magic Mouse. The curious thing was that the Magic Mouse refused to report a battery life of 100%, and showed 81% instead. After a month of intermittent usage my Magic Mouse is down to about 56%, according to the Mouse Preferences pane on my MacBook. Frankly, this seems like totally normal battery drain, but I’d warn other users not to expect the USBCells to last as other rechargeable batteries (which would likely have higher capacities).

Then again, the big difference between the USBCells and everybody else is how ridiculously easy it is to juice them up again. It’s so much more convenient to simply recharge your batteries right at your computer. Hunting for your AC charger doesn’t require gargantuan amounts of effort, but that little bit of time and effort that you save every couple of weeks (when it comes time to recharge those AA’s) does add up. I  even think that this convenience is worth the $20 price tag for a two-pack of USBCells, despite the fact that the same amount of money would buy you four-pack of rechargeable AA’s from most competing brands.

——

You can find the USBCell online or at your local BestBuy in Canada and the US for $18 USD or $21 CAD for the two-pack.

The free two-pack of USBCells that I received for review was provided by the Max Borges Agency.
