Vintage Geek: Fingertip Shopping on the Internet in the '60s
This vintage video of the "Internet" in 1969 plays like a so-sexist-it's-silly scene from Mad Men. When describing the eventual conveniences, they point to online shopping — undertaken by the wife — and then establish that the husband then pays (complete with the man of the house shaking his head at the purchases). Dee-lightful!
Gadget or the Girl: Really?!
Thought The Bachelor was silly? At least the guy from The Bachelor doesn't tell you that he'd rather hang out with his HDTV.
That's basically the premise of a new reality show, called Gadget or the Girl?
How Much Time Do You Spend Surfing The Web At Work?
I often hear stories from people who spend their entire work days browsing the net, shopping online, and catching up on all the latest celebrity gossip. And then there are those who are either so busy that they don't even have a minute to check their email, or have over-protective bosses who block basic messenger services. I'm curious to know how much time you spend online during an average work day doing things other than 'work' so to speak...
Petticoat 5 - The First Computer For Women
TeamSugar member Liron brought this video to my attention and I figured all you geeky women would have a thing or two to say about it. The video is actually from an episode of BBC America's Look Around You show, in which the team unveils the world's first computer for women, the Petticoat 5 - with tissue dispenser and emery board space bar - and meet its inventor, played by Belinda Stewart-Wilson. My pick for a computer for women?

The Fairer Cell Phone Sex: 4 Phones Made For Women
Do women have different cell phone needs? Maybe. We may have different cell phone wants, certainly, but I think that's more personality than gender based.
The Cover Up App Masks Unpleasant Restroom Sounds
Picture this: You just had the date of your dreams, so when he invites you to his place for a little night cap, you immediately say yes without hesitation. After a glass of wine, your stomach starts rumbling and you realize that extra spicy Tandoori chicken dish maybe wasn't the best ordering option for your first date. Next thing you know, you're in his bathroom, wondering how you'll be able to drown out unwanted restroom noise.
Women And Tech: Parodies And Realities
Women and technology is always a tender subject. Some women (and men) couldn't give a hoot about the newest downloads or gizmos, but the rest of us - specifically you readers - use technology everyday and have most of the same usage and buying habits as your male peers. We use technology to make our lives easier.
What Makes A Gadget Appealing To Women?
When I was a kid it was my father who would pick out the big ticket electronics for our house, primarily because my mother couldn't care less what size the TV was or the quality of the home's sound system. While I respect her choice to not care at all, her attitude toward technology and gadgets couldn't be more different than mine. And it makes me wonder if that's an attitude I picked up along the way because I always went to the electronics store with my dad or because technology is more geared toward women these days.
Pepsi Apologizes For "Scoring" iPhone App Via Twitter
I don't necessarily consider myself a feminist, but I know a sexist product when I see one. Remember the Slide to Unlock tee or the stripper pole Wii game? Yeah, those were awesome.
Do You Think Tech Jobs Are Geeky?
And I don't mean geek chic. The EU is concerned about the image of the IT Industry in Europe because they need to attract more women, but fear the current stigma of workers in tech as "geeky and unsociable" will keep the ladies out of the tech workforce.
Europe needs 300,000 female workers in the industry by 2010, and EU Commissioner Viviane Reding says women think careers in IT are "boring and too technical," even though there are tons of jobs and a huge demand for women.
