Flashback to when you were between the ages of six and twelve. You remember pretending you were a spy and wearing those sweet sunglasses with the little mirrors inside? We can't possibly be the only ones that remember those things. Whatever, that's not the point. Like it or not, sometimes there's cool stuff going on ... continue reading
When some dude sitting in his basement can throw together a bunch of speakers, some wiring and a suitcase and turn it into audio dynamite, it's difficult to justify the premium most manufacturers charge for their sound systems. Unless you just so happen to be talking about Crutchfield. There's a reason the dude that ... continue reading

Basically, they cool your drink without watering it down so you get all the flavor you expect at a bit more pleasant temperature. With these Icon Whiskey Stones, you can add a bit more fun to your boozing experience. Available ... continue reading
It's been a long time since there was a product we were willing to buy 6 AA batteries for. Once you hit a certain age in life (post GI Joe/Transformers/TMNT) you don't even really expect Christmas presents to need batteries. Yamaha is going old school with the boom box style PDX-11 Portable Speaker. Load up the stage-light-style ... continue reading
The 80s are back in a big way. Vinyl is cool again. Casio made a huge comeback with their G-shock watches. Even the new music coming out these days has a decidedly 80s feel to it. The only thing we're really missing is the classic cassette tape. Mix tapes have never really been as cool as they were when they were on ... continue reading
When you spend more than $100 on anything, some part of you always wants to show it off. If the expenditure in question happens to be a fancy new cellphone capable of talking back to you, you're going to want to show it off even more. The thing about iPhones though is that they all look the same without a case—until ... continue reading
For all the toys we have that have basically eliminated the need to write anything out by hand, there's still something that draws us to a pen and pad of paper. Sure, we still plug away at our keyboards and iPhones, but - just like an elderly relationship - there's no intimacy. If you feel the same way and happen ... continue reading
If you've already made the decision to break your contract and lay down the cash for the iPhone 4s since you can't live without Siri, you probably won't have the spare change to be purchasing all the nifty aftermarket gear to go with it. So getting something as cheap and as useful as Barnacle is a no-brainer. For ... continue reading
There's no denying the fact that robots are awesome. It doesn't matter if they're sent from the future to protect us, or if they quietly hide under the couch until summoned to suck up crumbs off the floor, they're crazy cool. They also happen to be ridiculously expensive... or so we thought. Now you can have a robot ... continue reading
Why should blasting the latest track from Kanye be limited to people with four wheels and an engine? What about those of us with two wheels and a sweet ride driven with foot power? You could be that guy with speakers wired to his bike, but it's way more difficult to pull that off than what we initially imagined. The ... continue reading
We love snowboarding. There are few things in life that are as exhilarating as ripping up the powder on a black diamond at 20mph with the wind in your face. Ok, we're not that good. It's more like falling down the mountain gracefully with a piece of wood attached to our feet, but we still enjoy it. When we hit the ... continue reading
Chances are you don't clip coupons, you don't load up on "Buy One Get One Free" Beefaroni and you don't know what today's special value was on QVC. (Storage containers by the way.) Sure, if you're making a big purchase you compare prices and try to get the best deal, but with most of the little gadgets and gizmos ... continue reading
Despite sounding like a made up insult by a Beavis and Butthead fan, JackBacks are actually a pretty great way to make your iPhone stand out in an over-saturated iPhone world. Normally your customization options for your do everything phone are limited to a few stylish cases and a nicely shot background photo, but ... continue reading
For far too long suction cup technology has been relegated to our cars. We put our GPS up with it and others use it—definitely not us we swear—to hang "Baby On Board" signs and terrified Garfields from their windows. If we are going to use our iPhones for just about everything some micro-suction could help out ... continue reading
First iPhone 4? $300 with absurd contract. Second iPhone 4? Take out a second mortgage and be prepared to pony up at least $650 if you don't get a friendly Genius and you don't have a friend with back of a truck access. When compared with that kind of expense, spending $100 on a case that will prevent those kind of ... continue reading
Miniaturization goes hand in hand with most technological marvels. The screens all get bigger, but the device itself (whether it's a cell phone or a TV) gets thinner and lighter thanks to tinier components. There's no denying that the iPhone does a lot of things essential to your daily routine, but outputting audio ... continue reading
