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.
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.

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.
