  • Sirius XM Android app hits the Market

    Sirius XM Android app hits the Market

    Posted on May 28, 2010 | No Comments
    That's right, we're downloading the brand new Sirius XM app to our favorite, not-at-all-fragmented Android handset as we speak. Sure, we don't actually have a paid satellite radio subscription, but if you hit up the source link you can sign up for 7 days free while you multitask it up against Robo Defense on your own phone. There's no mention on the download page of specific handset compatibility, so let us know if you have any trouble running the app on that Motoblur phone your mom bought you.

    [Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

  • Don’t let taste stand in the way of buying a crystal iPhone stand

    Don’t let taste stand in the way of buying a crystal iPhone stand

    Posted on May 17, 2010 | No Comments
    Are you the kind of person who has to have the best of everything? Two-ply toilet paper? Nice plastic plates? The best mixture of Alpo and brown gravy spread liberally onto your chest as a libido suppressant? Then you're going to need the Calypso Crystal iPhone stands. These stands, which range from $199 to $349 for the Aurora model, are made of leaded crystal and take "15 days to make" in Central Europe. The sad thing is that these are actually probably made in Poland where leaded crystal is actually quite popular (my mom collects it, incidentally, but I doubt she wants these.)

    Hands-on with MobileHelp, for when Dad has fallen and he can’t get up

    Posted on May 15, 2010 | No Comments
    MobileHelp is a small device that works “beyond the home” allowing your loved one to call for help at a press of a button. The device also also tracks your loved one via GPS and, when they sound an alarm, MobileHelp’s staff will contact them directly and call the proper authorities. My mother tried this at [...]

    To anyone who’s ever written a line of code, pre-canned/auto-generated apps are the scourge of the App Store world. For anyone who just wants to be able to say “Me? There’s an app for that! LOL!” without having to dedicate their lives to waging war against semi-colons and pouring through documentation, however, they’re a god [...]

    Wow, this woman knows how to hate. She could write a book on hate that would outsell the classic Guide To Proper Hating by Brandon Barbee. 10 bucks says she loved Dancing with Wolves, though.

    Review: Aluratek Libre eBook Reader PRO

    Posted on April 14, 2010 | No Comments
    Short Version The hardware is a little old but the fact you can by a fairly capable ebook reader for under $150 is an interesting thing, especially in this overpriced world of iPads, Nooks, and Kindles. A great device for those who want to experience the ereader revolution with no frills. Because this device is so old [...]

    AquaAntics Water Bomb Factory is genius, should win an international peace award

    Posted on March 29, 2010 | No Comments
    I guarantee that the outside water spigot at my mom's house has weathered rings left over from water balloons. There just isn't a fool-proof way to fill up the balloons on a naked spigot. Sure, there are those little nozzles that thread on, but those don't work well either. But the AquadAntics Water Bomb Factory is just what the name implies: a venerable water balloon factory. You have to see this thing in action. It's set to revolutionize summer time. Click through for the video.

    Party people put your hands in the air because Taga wants you to know that their stroller/bike system is rockin’ the block. The company has been flogging their transforming bike for about a year now but it looks like they’re finally shipping in the US for $1,495 (!!!). As Treehugger notes, the video shows a [...]

    Posted on March 1, 2010 | No Comments
    Today's TVs, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and even AV receivers crave access to the Internet, but most will never get the pleasure of the 'Net. Why? Because Mom and Pop don't wanna run a CAT-5 cable through their house and power line adapters are about as reliable as two tin cans connected with string. But now there's this: Netgear's Universal Wi-Fi adapter.

    Hands-on with the Rubik’s Slide

    Posted on February 17, 2010 | No Comments
    What good is a Rubik's Slide if you can't take off all the stickers and convince your mom that you're a super genius? Interestingly, however, the Rubik's Slide doesn't use stickers and it's actually much harder than it looks. You basically twist and turn the device to move the lights into various configurations and there are multiple modes, including lightning round, to keep you occupied. My wife picked this thing up last night and she noticed she was about to get addicted and so put it back down.

    TiVo sez Doritos commercial was the biggest hit in the Super Bowl

    Posted on February 8, 2010 | No Comments
    Thanks to TiVo, we have a pretty good idea of what the most popular commercials from last night's Super Bow. Survey says: that Doritos commercial with the little kid telling his mom's date to keep his hands off his mother (fat chance!) and off his Doritos. America is a peculiar little country, isn't it, cheese-flavored chips and light beer as far as the eye can see.

    A recent AT&T earnings call consisted of a lot of talk talk talk but one slide stands out: it essentially admits that 3G in San Francisco and New York sucked ween AKA were both far below their official performance objective. Although I can’t figure out what the actual “Performance Objective” truly is based on this slide, [...]
