Cyber Monday

After days of electronics sales online and in stores, you're in the mood for a Cyber Monday deal of a different feather — perhaps of a different bird all together. To get geeks ready for CES 2013 in January, Virgin America and Gilt teamed up to offer the #nerdbird, an Airbus A320 for a private round-trip charter to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show. Yes, that would be an entire airplane filled only with 135 people selected by you. The cost for this private party 35,000 feet in the sky? $49,000.

But not so fast with that credit card — if you can believe it, the deal's sold out. The private flight wasn't the only highlight though, also included is elite status on Virgin America for the purchaser and all guests, 136 passes to CES (currently priced at $100 per registration), in-flight WiFi, and the opportunity to create a decal of choice (à la the nerdy glasses seen above) for the bird to fly emblazoned with for one month.

Well, this certainly beats the 22-inch LCD TV I had my eye on. Have you found any outrageous Cyber Monday deals?

Black Friday is a thing of the past — today is all about finding your holiday deals and savings online with Cyber Monday! While sales actually started at many stores online Sunday, with some others continuing on as Cyber Monday Week, scanning the sales from your cubicle puts you at risk for being reprimanded for browsing the virtual racks, or in some cases (seven percent according to a new study), even fired for holiday shopping at work. If you must hit the Cyber Monday sales on the boss' dime today, do so with caution. Here, a few tips to keep your online shopping habit a secret from the higher ups in your office.

• Toggle screens — Quickly toggle between open applications with the Alt + Tab (for PC) or Open Apple + Tab (for Mac) keystrokes. This will allow you to quickly switch from your open web browser and work applications when you hear the boss tromping down your aisle.
• Use your desktop wallpaper — Take a screenshot of an important spreadsheet, document, or collection of open applications and set it as your desktop wallpaper. Commence shopping. If someone approaches, use the keystroke of Windows + D on your PC or F11 on your Mac to switch focus to your desktop, which will conveniently be populated with your busywork instead of a photo of your boyfriend, dog, and/or kids.
• Fake an Excel spreadsheet — If you're tweeting or Facebooking your finds, don't forget to keep that on the down low too. Applications like Spreadtweet and ExcellBook keep your social networking under wraps by disguising your feed as an excel spreadsheet.
