I spy with my little eye, something shiny and sparkly! In this week's issue of Life & Style, Molly Sims was caught showing off her bling'd out white Nintendo DS (one of my favorite portable devices ever) at a recent event. We're giving away our own white DS, but lucky Molly has had hers covered with black and pink crystals in the shape of a sexy pump. How very Sex and the City, no?
Although L&S dubbed her a "Diva" for glamming up her gaming gadget, I think it's totally geek chic. But who would have thought otherwise coming from a fashion powerhouse like Molly Sims!? What do you think of her decorated DS?
A couple of weeks ago, I talked about a study that was conducted by CinemaNow shows that 94 percent of people surveyed think that renting a video from a store or even getting them through the mail from a service like Netflix will be the next tech dinosaur to be extinct. Movie downloads, they cited, are better for the environment. While that very noble reason is a bonus, I began downloading movies because of the convenience.
Obviously, it's great to have it both ways, but the results of CinemaNow's survey surprised me, because most of the people that I know who download movies are doing it for the convenience. So tell me — if you're a movie downloader, what is your main reason for doing it: The friendliness to the environment, or the fact that it's so easy?
With the 2008 Olympic Games kicking off on Friday - and what a spectacle it was - it's now time to check out all the cool phone apps, fun Olympic tech news, and neat gadgets, all inspired by the Summer games! Oh yeah, and remember, even if you're away from your TV, you can catch all the gaming action online as well!
You wouldn't think that geeksugar would have much to say about AMC's runaway hit Mad Men, set in the early 1960s — but you'd be totally, utterly wrong.
The retro-era show is actually rife with geekery — vintage geekery that is. Not only is it a rare look into how the times were for health, the sexes, minorities, and business, we also get to see the infiltration of technology into the home and the workplace.
Amazing tech quotes abound, like this over-the-top sexist zinger: "The manufacturer made it so easy a woman could use it." Of course, we'd love to say that sexism in regards to technology manufacturing has gone the way of the black and white TV, but we can't, necessarily.
Besides the women-friendly typewriter, there's the old-school video cameras, the wild concept of the copy machine, the out-of-placeness of a tube television in a single woman's apartment, and one of my favorites, the crazy (and crazy important) sight of the switchboard ladies, connecting the mad ad men with their clientele.
It must be the week of the BlackBerry gel case! From last week's match up celeb with her light pink case, to Rihanna with her fuchsia case, there were certainly lots of Curve cases to go around! And now this celeb, with her aqua blue case — I guess great minds do think alike! Any idea who it is? Scroll down to take a guess.
Look out Flip Mino, there's a new pocket cam in town, Kodak's Zi6 HD, she's mini, she's mighty and she comes color coated in pink or black.
The good? She only weighs 3.8 ounces, comes with a built-in USB connector, her memory can be expanded with an SD card, and she runs off AA batteries. The great? She only costs $179.95, can record High Def video files and you can already start pre-ordering her for (fingers crossed) a Fall release date!
Did you happen to catch NBC's broadcast of the opening ceremonies from the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing on Friday eve? What a sight it was! Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were installed across the entire stadium (even the roof!) and a LED screen, measuring 147 meters long and 22 meters wide was placed in the center of the stadium. And for the full futuristic effect, around 44,000 tiny LED beads, all different colors, were embedded within the LED screen as well as in the costumes of the performers. "We have combined creativity with the most complicated technologies in Olympic history to maximize the visual and sensory impact on the audience," said Yu Jianping, technical team leader for the opening.
To see just how magnificent the show was, check out my slideshow. And be sure to catch all the highlights and video footage from the games online!
