I can’t attest to being a crazy The Nightmare Before Christmas fanboy, as I don’t think I’ve ever even seen the movie all the way through, but I always did love Tim Burton’s style. This film vignette captures that style pretty well despite the fact that it’s completely composed using LEGO bricks and accessories. Emulating the now iconic poster art ...

While the Robot iPhone Case certainly isn’t the most practical way to protect your iPhone, it’s perfect for the device with a mean streak. The iPhone and robots have several things in common, not the least being that they both have their eyes set on world domination.

I always suspected something was amiss. R2 was pretty chubby. Now if all of that space was filled with super technological circuitry, you’d think he’d at least be able to talk.

If you happen to be the lucky fellow who purchases the 10 billionth download from the iTunes store, and you just happen to be over the age of 13 and live in country where iTunes is offered, you’ll be gifted ...

I’m cool with my iPad Nano. Oh, you’ve never heard of it? Maybe you know it by its more common name: the iPhone. Zing. Let’s not fool ourselves. Despite the fact that the iPad might be nothing more than a bonafied iPhone on steroids, you’ve just gotta have one. The problem is transportation. The iGotaBigAssPocket line of pants will make ...

I friggen’ HATE when the last remaining bit of toothpaste happens to be all the way at the bottom of the tube. It’s one of my pet peeves. This double-sided tube of toothpaste contains two caps, so there really isn’t a bottem anymore, only a middle. So I guess my new pet peeve will be getting the remaining toothpaste from ...

I try to shave my head as often as possible. I’m insecure about my ever-growing bald spot so I like to keep it pretty close. Thank God I haven’t resorted to Flair Hair quite yet. The problem is that if I forget to do it every few days, the mess gets increasingly harder to clean up. And frankly, I just ...

Take these survey results with a tremendous grain of salt, we’re talking boulder-sized, just for the sheer fact that it was conducted through a relatively small sample through a social networking start-up. MocoSpace asked 20,000 of their 10.3 million user base a few questions regarding their cellphone usage when it comes to their love life. And as usual, the results ...

As it would seem, “electrostatically speaking,” sausages are a close match for the human finger, so they actually work pretty well as an iPhone stylus. Sales of CJ Corporation’s snack sausages are on the increase in South Korea because of the cold weather; they are useful as a meat stylus for those who don’t want to take off their gloves ...
