Everybody just kinda goes along with the whole “you can’t buy happiness” thing. We like to think it reveals some fundamental truth about the human condition, tells a reassuring story about the intrinsic value of the human spirit.

It happens every year. Some little liberal-arts school launches a halfcourt buzzer-beater to knock one of the titans out, and you just lose control. Of your movements. Of your emotions. Of your bowels. Of everything. The next thing you know, you’re coming to in a mess of smashed home theater components, crushed pretzels, and splattered […]

Use this: because if you have to see the guy who long boards past your house naked every day, then so does EVERYONE ELSE! Don’t use this: as a football. There are better products for that, like footballs. In 99.9% of uses, this doesn’t: record you when you’re sleeping and then set a laugh track […]

February 28, 2013 Daily Toshibascope: Camileo Your recordings may be uncharacteristically dark today. But then you’ll remember to turn on your backside illuminated sensor (tee hee), and your low-light recording performance will be much improved. A dramatic dance between romance and razor-sharp 16MP interpolated still shots will at first transport you to an emotional fantasyland, […]

Use this: while tied firmly to a heavy piece of furniture, lest its 1080p resolution lure you into a world of fantasy more real than life itself. Don’t use this: as a platter for serving 42″ or 46″ party subs. Vinegar eats right through pixels. Left to its own devices, this: would watch nothing but […]

Use this: if, through some remarkable boon of fortune, you are neither blind NOR deaf. Don’t use this: if your neighbors score above 8 on the Universal Crotchety Index. The experts say: the 1000:1 contrast ration provides deep blacks. Also: Do you know anyone who’s hiring a TV expert? The insects that will come pouring […]
