Remember the days when if you wanted to do some shopping, you had to actually go to the store fully clothed, try things on, pay a real person for them, and then drive yourself back home? But then came the Internet and the effortless joy of shopping from the comfort of your own home, wearing just pajamas or nakedness, and now a faceless man drops your new clothes on your doorstep!

Ralph Lauren is hoping to stage a similar tech shopping revolution by enabling you to buy Polo Ralph Lauren from your cell phone.

To learn how it works, just read more.

With software that you would download, you would then take pictures and scan in bar codes placed in magazine ads, store windows, and mailings -but you're then directed to a mobile version of their website, where you have the option to purchase items.

It's slightly exciting, but what I want is the ability to scan and purchase at once - after all, if you have a browser on your phone, you can already order things online.

Lauren says this is aimed at a customer "who's interested in our brand and interested in technology, and wherever the two meet" - hello, geeksugar readers!

Geek Out: What Do You Wear When You Wii?

GeekSugar — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 11:30:22 -0800

I have just learned that if you want to be really chic while playing the Wii, you have to suit up in proper sporty, but totally cute clothes. City magazine has put together a fun mix of outfits for Wii tennis, baseball, golf, boxing and bowling and while I usually play my Wii in PJs or work clothes, I'm up for the fashion challenge.

I sent the photos to FabSugar, who challenged me to find the ultimate Wii sports outfit. While I am as fashionable as the next girl, I need your help. Just search the web for your favorite geeky Wii sports-inspired clothes, bookmark them on TeamSugar under the tag "Wii sports outfit" and if we like your picks FabSugar and I will feature our favorite ensembles on our sites. For tips on bookmarking, what I'm looking for and a detailed description of the items above, just read more

Criteria: Search the web for cute, comfy clothes that would be functional and chic for playing the Wii. If you are a Wii bowler, try and find some great bowling shoes. If you are a Wii boxing fan, try and find some chic shorts.
