Geek is chic.
I love my iPod, but there is a new music player vying for my heart: the slotRadio ($79) by Sansa. The two-inch-by-two-inch clip-on music player comes with a data card with 1,000 songs from the Billboard music charts, with prearranged playlists by music genre. I tried the additional Health and Fitness mix, which includes the mixes for warmup, cardio, roadwork (cycling), power (lifting), yoga, Read more
SanDisk's new Fuze is red hot, comes with 4GB of storage, and only costs $100 (a 4GB iPod nano costs $150). CrunchGear found this beauty on Amazon, although I think it has gone MIA cause I can't seem to find it anymore, but stay tuned for more details! Here's what makes this mp3 player so mighty and definitely worth the $100: It features a 1.9-inch screen, a microSD/SDHC slot, digital FM radio, Read more
I used to think it was just me, but I've learned this much to be true: Ladies love pink gadgets. I don't know if it makes us feel like they were designed with a woman in mind, or if naturally we are just drawn to all things pink, but somehow, the color change from basic black to watermelon, rose and bubble gum can be enough to attract some women into making a purchase. Case in point, this Read more
You know how your iPod or Sansa makes you feel like dancing when it plays your favorite tunes? Well, now your MP3 player can do a little dancing of its own with a disko polycarbonate case that lights up with multiple light colors and motion-activated lighting sequences. The shell protects your player while a ring of colored LEDs around the click wheel lights up, swirls, flashes and chases in a Read more
There are only three more episodes left in the second season of Game of Thrones, and this week's episode feels like it's ramping up for an intense last few installments. But there's still a lot to talk about from this week, including a particularly nightmarish end scene and some hilarious banter between Jon Snow and his prisoner Ygritte. The title of the episode, "A Man Without Honor," certainly Read more
To say there's little lightheartedness in this week's Game of Thrones is a bit of an understatement. In fact, it's pretty messed up — we see more of how twisted Joffrey can be, some creepy rat-torture, and the episode ends with a giant WTF moment. And to add insult to injury, there is no trace of Jon Snow this week, either. While this week's episode may have been tough to watch, the many awful Read more
This week's Game of Thrones introduces us to a few new characters, while giving a bit of the spotlight to Tyrion, Theon, and Renly, and happily, there's no Joffrey again this week (though we get a good bit of Sansa). Renly is on a throne with a new wife, Theon makes a decision about where his loyalty lies, and Tyrion masterfully orchestrates a ruse. Oh, and as usual, there is a ton of blood Read more
This week's TV got everyone talking on Buzz; it was another big week for Game of Thrones, with a few of you chiming in about the series' second episode of the season, while the premiere of Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 got the thumbs up. Meanwhile, the shocking non-elimination on American Idol also gave fans something to talk about. We might actually trust the b---- in Apartment 23 "I Read more
This week's Game of Thrones is blessedly free of Joffrey, but there's still plenty of other things that are pretty gross. From decapitated heads to surprise incest, things are intense as the houses continue to get ready for impending war. Thankfully, there's also some levity in Westeros, mostly from Tyrion's one-liners and a charming scene between Gendry and Arya. I definitely missed the Read more
After a year of waiting for the aftermath of Ned Stark's beheading, Daenerys Targaryen's dragons hatching, and war brewing in Westeros, Game of Thrones made its triumphant return this week, and the season two premiere did not disappoint. I was thrilled to catch up with the likes of Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow, though less-than-enthused to be reunited with Joffrey and his evil ways. I don't Read more
