Adrianna's Chic Cell Phone on 90210

GeekSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 05:47:34 -0800

Each week, I'm so wrapped up in The City, The Hills and Gossip Girl for my tech quizzes that I sometimes miss out on the Melrose Place and 90210 gadget action! Reader beautiful daisy asked me a question about this week's 90210 episode:

I was wondering, would you happen to know what kind of cell phone Adrianna was using on the last episode of 90210? It aired this past Tuesday. It was white and really thin. Very pretty and I was wondering if you would know? Thanks!

Adrianna was actually spotted with a T-Mobile G1 this week! (Thanks for the little insider info from my friends over at the CW!). This touchscreen Google Android platform phone gives you access to high-speed 3G networks and it comes with a 3-megapixel camera and WiFi functionality!

Do You Think Teens Sext More Than Adults?

GeekSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 03:50:58 -0700

On this week's "To Sext or Not to Sext" episode of 90210 Naomi considers acting out her residual prom night frustration on Annie by blasting out an explicit MMS message of Annie as payback. (To be fair, Naomi thinks Annie slept with her boo). It's a dramatic and entertaining plotline, but further reinforced the overwhelming stats and tales of teens sexting at schools.

More than 61 percent of GeekSugar readers have admitted to sexting in the past, which leads me to believe grown-ups are doing it too. Do you think teens sext more, or do you think we just hear about it from the media because of their age?

Don't Make Me Blog You Shirt: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 15:42:25 -0800

This Don't Make Me Blog You T-Shirt ($28) may have been created as a tribute to devious blogger Silver on 90210, but I can think of a few people I know personally who this would apply to.

With all the implications that new tech means for dating, blogging's a new problem, especially when people are threatening to blog about you or begging you to not blog about them.

What do you think of this shirt? Fun and silly, or stupid and silly?

Gadget Accessories Based on TV Shows: Love It or Leave It?

Color me happy! Not only have I spied a Beverly Hills, 90210-engraved iPod, I also found this Sex and the City iPod speaker lurking about.

I saw the Sex and the City movie twice and own the first couple seasons of 90210, but I don't know if I have the die-hard commitment to go this far. On the other hand, I don't really shy away from more accessories, so maybe I would etch Brandon Walsh's mug on my iPod. Would you?

Sidekick LX: A Star on the New 90210

GeekSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:00:44 -0700

Bada da da DA da da da da da Wa wa waa wee wah. . . get it?! It's the theme for 90210! Not the old Beverly Hills, 90210 of my young years, but the brand spankin' new 90210 that premiered last night. Truthfully, I tuned in to see Kelly Taylor and Brenda Walsh confront each other about Dylan McKay in their thirties, but I was equally intrigued with the new younguns, sure to challenge my teen drama TV cravings for Gossip Girl.

These new characters are certainly as techie - I was pleased to see Shenae Grimes's character pull out a Sidekick LX to read a text, since I like to think of Sidekicks as the smartphone for serious text messagers. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of geeky teens on the show!

Fake Baby Tracking on the New 90210: Really?!

GeekSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 07:15:50 -0700

I knew that Beverly Hills was a wealthy place with fancy schools, but I had no idea that they had amazing technology. . . for the Home Ec class! On the last episode of the new 90210 (no, it's still not as good as the original, in case you were wondering), the Home Ec (or is it Domestic Science?) teacher alleged that for the requisite teenagers-taking-care-of-fake-babies experiment, there was a "unique tracking device" in each baby doll, so that they'd know if the faux kid got left behind. Really?! Really. Each kid. Wow, 90210.

I mean, back when I was in high school, we got a sack of flour with an egg inserted in the top and if you screwed up, the egg broke. I mean, it was low budget, but it was effective. I think if West Bev High can afford technology so outlandish, they should probably be investing in programs that make the students smart enough to question a "unique tracking device" for baby dolls.

Home Ec. . . in the year two-thousaaaaaaaand. . . !

You Can Now Watch TV Shows on YouTube

GeekSugar — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 11:05:05 -0700

Hulu isn't gonna know what hit them now that YouTube has launched a new television show section on its website, which includes categories like family, sports, comedy, romance, and even movies! What's great is that there's already a wide selection of shows, including classics like Alf, MacGyver, and 90210 - I know, ALF! Word has it that YouTube has signed agreements to distribute content from Sony, Lions Gate, CBS, MGM, and more, so hopefully the selection of shows keeps growing.

Refine Your Web Searches - Get Better Results

GeekSugar — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 12:36:36 -0800

Ever search for something on Google or MSN and get way too many results that have nothing to do with what you wanted? Writer Sarah Milstein recently taught me that you can prevent this by filtering out unwanted query results through more specific search tactics.

It's actually incredibly simple and will save you the time of combing though results. All you have to do is type the minus (-) sign in front of a word or phrase to search for web pages that don't include the negated term. For more help, just read more

For example, every time I search "Beverly Hills 90210" I get a ton of results for "Dr. 90210." This is fine, only I want to know obscure trivia about the hit 90's show "Beverly Hills 90210," and not about the current E! show. So, I simply refine my search to "Beverly Hills 90210 -Dr." and I get the results I'm looking for. This works for narrowing down practically any search. My online life has been forever changed.
