And I’m Freeeeeeeeeee, Free handed! This Cyber Acoustics Earclip Headset with Microphone really helps when I’m in the car. It used to be a real problem. I’d be driving around using one hand to steer and one hand to keep my cell phone pressed up to my ear. It just made everything so difficult! But […]

DSL Killed The Video Star Nobody wants to admit it, but television might not have long to live. Well, that’s not totally true. Television is gonna be around forever. It’s just that television is about to do what radio did, and make this tight withdrawal into niche markets. Why? Because the big money’s gone to […]

There Are Worse Hobbies “No, I can’t go out tonight. I’m watching the ice cat.” If you say that to your friends, your friends will just stop calling you. Being outclassed by an ice cat? You can’t come back from that! It’s an ego blast from which there is no recovery! But at the same […]

We never know how to answer. Mainly because we never bothered to find out. People like to ask a lot of questions in the Woot forums. And that’s good! We pride ourselves on a lively, informed, and intelligent user base. Which makes up for us being, well, not so knowledgeable. See, people have a hard […]

Turning the Tables No, I don’t have a drinking problem. You guys just have a flask-appreciation problem. It’s all, “Gina, are you really bringing your flask to the grocery store?” Or, “Gina, seriously, we’d prefer if you didn’t drink at Anne’s baby shower.” Or, “Gina, there’s no alcohol allowed in traffic school.” Don’t you see?

Oversaturation We get it. You’re a geek. Good for you. Yes, Roger, actually I did see your new Star Wars shirt. Several times now. Yeah, I caught that it’s yet another “It’s A Trap” variation skirting the very razor’s edge of copyright infringement, much like the one Ben was wearing yesterday and Alice was wearing […]

Yeah, they make other ones. Why, I don’t know. But they do. “Hey, nice dock.” “Yeah, thanks. It’s a Motorola Xoom Speaker Dock.” “Speaker dock? Why do you call it that?” “Because it’s got speakers.” “Yeah, but don’t all docks?” “No.” “Seriously?” “Uh, yeah.” “Why would you want a dock without speakers?” “I don’t know. […]

Smart phones do just about everything. Judging by the battery life, smart phones are pretty busy. Boy, iPhones sure are great. You can make calls on ‘em, play games on ‘em, navigate via GPS with ‘em, text with ‘em, price real estate with ‘em, and so much more. We could spend all day just listing […]

Vids Or It Didn’t Happen Start recording before I start my ride? Lug along a laptop just to watch my footage? NEVER AGAIN. Today I say “Stop the madness.” Today I say “No more.” Today I say “With the Swann Freestyle HD’s included remote and LCD screen, I bid farewell to two of the most […]

SWM seeks HP with AMD and HD LED She looked good on paper. But you just never know if you’re gonna have that spark. Let’s just say I was more than pleasantly surprised. I’ve been shopping lots of times. Taken a lot of laptops for a spin, if you know what I mean. But the […]
