When a new gadget shows up on Lost, odds are that its presence is dubious at best. Those touchscreen satellite phones by the new other Others, Other-controlled ultrasound machines — if technology shows up on this island, you have good reason to be freaked out by it. I'm already scared of who the new foursome with those iPhone-lookalikes are contacting, and I think I have good reason to be: One of them is a ghostbuster! New character Miles has one of the scariest backstories in Lost history — he's some kind of a ghost-whisperer! Apparently spirit hunters like Miles need more than just their mind control though. He busted out this wacky ghost-busting gadget in a scene illustrating his talents: Is anyone else thinking what I am? That this looks freakishly like the Dirt Devil I kept in my car in high school?!
I can't help but get a bit of satisfaction and pleasure from personalizing my gadgets — especially with fun new decals and chic new cases. So when PartySugar gave me a glittery-gold sticker to put on the back of my cell phone (it was the first initial of my name), I absolutely loved it. The sticker has since worn off (call it overuse of the phone if you will), but I'm always on the look out for sparkly new accessories to jazz up my gadgets. Aside from the usual blinged-out, cellphone cases at CES this year, I also came across (ahem . . . was blinded by) these crystal-covered laptop stickers. I can't say I'd want to go all out and slap one of these on my laptop, but I'm curious to know if any of you would?! What do you think? Too geeky or somewhat geek chic?
What better way to count down to Spring and Easter then by having the Sony Bravia Bunnies hop across your cell phone?! Extending from the recent Bravia "Play-Doh" ad, Sony has designed a new moving animation screensaver of their Play-Doh bunnies available for download on your phone. To get the screensaver, download the video to your desktop and transfer the video to your phone via a USB cord. I can honestly say my phone is a virgin to screensavers, but I must admit that this one is so cute, I just have to test it out!
I really enjoyed last night's premiere of Lipstick Jungle.
Still, I was shocked that the show — which is about three powerful New York executives trying to balance their careers, families, and friendships — was so devoid of smartphones.
I mean, the cell phones pale in comparison to the ones we've gotten used to seeing on The Hills and Gossip Girl. Where's the techie love ladies? Do business execs really use lime green flip phones? Maybe I'm too addicted to my CrackBerry to imagine professional life without one, but see for yourself.
I've had way too many nights stranded in my kitchen, starving, and surrounded by condiments, one chicken breast, and a can of tomato soup. RecipeMatcher is my new savior — you just type in the ingredients you have on hand and it figures out recipes for you based on what you entered! I arbitrarily added chicken breast, tomato soup, basil, and potatoes, and it came up with a ton of suggestions, including Italian Chicken and Potatoes. RecipeMatcher tells you additional ingredients you may need if your submissions are a bit bare bones like mine, but they're mainly basics like garlic or Italian dressing. This definitely beats that sad box of macaroni I usually resort to!
PS RecipeMatcher also works for cocktails, so you can drink responsibly and with flair!

Bringing Sexy Back: Toss the Cell Phone Forget phone sex. If you're looking to procreate find a man who doesn't have a BlackBerry attached to his ear. New research conducted by the Cleveland Clinic found a connection between guys who spent hours on their cell phones and poor sperm quality.
