To rebut a wall street journal article that declared Verizon Wireless and Microsoft were on an iPhone rival, Microsoft spokesman John Starkweather said “Microsoft is not building a Zune-specific phone. We’re deepening our relationships with our hardware partners”, as reported by PC Mag.
The last sentence of that money quote does make sense. After all, if […]

I instantly fell in love with Trongs the minute I saw them. They are little utensils that protect your hands from messy foods.
I LOVE buffalo wings. I have taken to eating boneless wings because I can eat them with a fork and spare myself the mess, but with the advent of Trongs, I could […]

It reads:
I rear-ended an unregistered, unlicensed, illegal immigrant.
He went to jail because I was texting and driving.
I’ve texted while driving twice and each time I thought what I was doing was so important that I needed to do it. I […]

What can you do with the 216 tiny spherical magnets that make up a ZoomDoggle’s BuckyBalls set? A lot apparently, especially if you’ve got a geographic imagination. You can pull the magnets apart, stick them together, and shape the whole metallic clump in virtually limitless ways. You can even create the famous “BuckyBall” molecule structure […]

One benefit of e-ink is the fact that shining a light on it is enough to make low-light reading possible. That’s a reality exploited by the Periscope Lighted Folio for Kindle 2, which is basically a folio (well, duh!) with space for a notepad, pens, a swiveling twin LED light, and of course, a Kindle […]
