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 ...

Oh gosh. I thought he’d given up on this with the economy and all. Guess not. He’s still working on that Internet tablet prototype that he came up with last summer. Now he has a new model called “Revision B” that is going to cost $299 or more. It’s ugly, it runs Ubuntu and weighs three fucking pounds. At this ...

MSNBC is reporting that Circuit City is done. Reports are saying that over 35,000 people will be out of a job by the time the entire company is liquidated. There’s not really any more information other than that and I’m not seeing this on other major news sites. Stay tuned if there’s mind-blowing information to be had. Otherwise, you heard ...

If you haven’t heard of Peek, it’s a small, thin device with a QWERTY keypad that only does email. Yup. It just emails and uses the T-Mobile network to send and retrieve messages. You pay $20 a month and you get unlimited email service. Not the best deal. However, today only, Peek is offering a $300 one-time deal where you ...

The Wii Fit was tough to find this holiday season and it seems that it hasn’t gotten any easier to come across. If you’ve got a Wii Balance Board collecting dust because you’d rather not use it to play video games, why not do as the CCCKC do. Jestin Stoffel and Vince Thompson used an Arduino microcontroller and two servos ...

You know what would be the best thing ever? Virtual sex. So long as “virtual sex” means sex with Sandra Bullock in virtual reality. None of that rubber vagina crap. We’ll put on the headsets, visors or whatever didgeridoos are used on the movie set of Demolition Man and go at it. Except, we won’t get physical. Fluid transfer is ...

Holy shit. Apparently Miyamoto still has some ideas lodged in that adolescent skull of his. Nintendo has recently filed a patent application in the US for a system that will potentially aid gamers via computer controlled characters in sections too difficult for the player to overcome. This idea comes straight from Miyamoto who is worried that some games are too ...

Iconic OBEY designer Shepard Fairey has partnered with house of fashion Saks Fifth Avenue to create a series of stylish shopping bags. Each bag says “WANT IT!” in classic Fairey form. Big block letters, Soviet-era graphics; everything you’d expect from the guy who told you that Andrea the Giant had a posse. Some would call Shepard a sellout for doing ...

The tank is back. This time around he’s not throwing cars and crushing skulls with lifeless paper arms. No sir, this tank is born anew thanks to Craftster user windgie79 who crocheted Amigurumi dolls of the entire infected cast of Left 4 Dead for her husband.
