Review: Tyme Machines Star Wars flash drives come to a galaxy very, very close
When it comes to giving geeks presents, nothing says “I love you and respect your need to move large files quickly” like a USB flash drive. And nothing says “I am a geek too” like giving them a flash drive that looks like a bobble-head Star Wars character. Each drive consists of a 3-inch tall figure from the original Star Wars movies (aka, the good ones).... Read More
Israel hates Jennifer Garner
How else can you explain Israeli airport security firing three shots into the MacBook of Lily Sussman, which just happened to be sporting an Elektra Stamp? (2005’s Elektra of course being the 3rd worst Marvel comic movie of all time, and starring Jennifer Garner in the title role). Above: Elektra proved as hard to kill as the Elektra movie was to watch. In the airport... Read More
Apple’s new iPod touch web ads almost makes you think the touch is a real gaming machine
It’s no secret Apple is pushing the iPod touch as a gaming machine – Steve Jobs said as much when lamely trying to explain why the new iPod touches didn’t have a camera (as if game makers couldn’t find a creative way to make use of one).

Well, at least we still don’t know exactly what the BACK looks like…
If only there were residents of Cupertino California willing to work for $10 a month, maybe then Apple would be able to plug some of these overseas leaks. Behold China Ontrade, a supplier of replacement parts for pretty much any device you can think of, including Apple’s as-of-yet unreleased 3rd Generation iPhone. Currently they are selling two iPhone parts, the front bezel... Read More
Further evidence that Darth Vader invented the iPod
Extremely long-time readers may recall that I uncovered evidence that Darth Vader in fact invented the iPod. (above: the iPod was conceived a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away¦) Well, I uncovered further evidence while watching the season finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. As you can see, in the episode entitled “Hostage Crisis”, we can clearly see Anakin... Read More
Review: Pico P1 portable iPhone/iPod projector
For many, including myself, the iPhone has quickly become one of the most indispensable gadgets in our lives. The iPhone owes its great success in large part to the sheer number of devices it can replace. Obviously it is both a phone and an iPod, but it is also can serve as a GPS unit, does an admirable job serving as a Nintendo DS/PSP-replacement, and it also packs in a decent... Read More

What do you know? Macs DO crash!
Has your computer ever crashed? No, I mean REALLY crashed? Like from 10,000 feet? Well, here’s the story of a Mac that did and lived to tell the tale. Above: Oh don’t worry, that will buff right out.
