Despite the economic downturn, tech toys like the Kindle and Nintendo Wii have sold out online and in stores across the country. Even with a 50 percent increase in Wii shipments, there's still a major shortage, with retailers like Wal-Mart resorting to a one-per-person purchasing cap limit.
In desperate need of a Wii this holiday season? Sites like eBay are offering the little white console for two-thirds more than you would pay at stores like Best Buy or Wal-mart — for a grand total of $310 for a new unit on eBay and $365 on Amazon. How does that make you feel?
In light of the news that Apple is pulling out of MacWorld after 2009, I have a bit of trivia for you: What was the first year that Steve Jobs gave his keynote address at MacWorld?
Those Upper East Siders didn't upgrade for nothing this year — Gossip Girl sailed ahead of the competition to win Favorite TV Tech Show of 2008.
The scandalous show won with 39 percent of the vote, so I guess you guys must like taking my tech quizzes as much as I like making them.
And now it's time to admit it: Gossip Girl is also my favorite TV Tech show of 2008! The show busts out with BlackBerry, LG, Apple, Sony, and Samsung products, and it's not just cell phones; this season, laptops and flash drives played big parts as well. Of course, we can't forget the titular blog that runs the whole engine.
Don't forget to check out the other winners in the rest of Sugar's Best of 2008!
I try to stay as virtually organized as I possibly can with my Google Calendar and many other great reminder tools I've found on the Internet. But a girl gets busy, real busy, especially at this time of the year with work, parties, shopping, and traveling. There are times when I remember that I need to do something, but don't have time to add it to my calendar, and that's when a site called Remindr becomes my savior. With the self-explanatory Remindr, you just enter the goods, and it works its magic and does the rest. That wine you were supposed to pick up for the Christmas party tonight? Remindr will give you a handy reminder to stop by the grocery store after work.

If I were a rich girl, then this iLuv iPod Holster $60 could be mine.
Would I buy it though? In its gold glory, it's kind of a fun display of empty excess, but I don't know if that's really my MO.
It's sort of Carrie Bradshaw in gold doorknocker territory, and maybe during a recession, that show — real or fake gold — may have passed.
But considering it comes with matching gold earbuds, it's a fun little package, and could be a great Christmas present for your Fergie- or Gwen-worshiping friend.
Six of the Sexiest Retro Gadgets I'm certainly no stranger to Vintage Geek items. Heck, I'd resort back to retro gadgets if they were all as cool as the ones I'm about to show you. What I love about the following items is the fact that they all offer a little something different, yet all have their own sex appeal. See what I mean by checking out this slideshow!
