I always hated plugging electronics in behind furniture because the furniture is never able to be flat enough against the wall for my liking. For example, when I plug my phone charger in behind my bed, I’m forced to keep the head of my bed two inches from the wall, or else the plug would be knocked out of its socket by the mattress’s pressure against the wall. Not only does this leave my phone without a charge, but it... Continue reading

Us gearheads are admittedly not the best housekeepers in the universe (at least this universe). Our brain is filled with so many other thoughts and ideas, how can we possible make space to remember our daily chores? And don’t give me that chore chart crap. That shit is for the birds. The Brook Surge Protector not only powers four different gadgets, but offers a healthy reminder that your filth isn’t cleaning itself. The power switch for the multitap itself sits...

We’ve been following the Circuit City bankruptcy very closely. Yesterday, we showed you some of the liquidation “deals” that readers posted around the Internet. Nothing spectacular there, but even less spectacular is Circuit City’s official website. It has no online store now and just announces the closing of all its stores, bankruptcy proceedings and other legal jib-jab. After 60 years, Circuit City is done and all that’s left is for Best Buy to continue raking in the profits. Link

Technologizer’s Harry McCracken was brave enough to stop by his local Circuit City in California to see what all the fuss was about regarding the company’s liquidation process. Inside, he found mediocre deals on mediocre equipment. No surprise there. Harry speculated that as the shelves become more bare, the discounts will increase. We agree. Still, I think it’s worth checking out a Circuit City if you live near one. Chances are the manager will be more than happy to bargain... Continue reading
