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 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.

Congrats ladies, it looks like we geeks are spreading the gospel of the chicness of our proclivities — there's even a book preaching it to other girls not yet versed in the ways.
And for an extra ego boost, you've got to hear "Coder Girls," a jam in which the admiring man raps "Wanna get in where I fit in like a plug-in." It'll be your Summer jam, for sure.

I'm a Mac, but mommy taught me it takes all shapes, sizes and kinds to make the world. And so, I welcome the operating system variety in the marketplace and gawk at all the different models on TV and movie sets. I've already challenged you to guessing which way some of our favorite male characters swing, so now it's time to test your knowledge of the type of machinery our beloved geek girls rock.

It's official. Not content to do just everything, the iPhone now has the capability to be some nerd's girlfriend. The iGirl App, with the tagline of "She Obeys," is just $0.99 — and cheap doesn't just describe the price!

Though I'm grateful for sites like Month.ly and other female-friendly apps, PMS Buddy is not going to be hailed as the newest web app to revolutionize women's lives.
See, it's not intended for women, it's intended for the men who have to "put up" with them at "that time of the month."
Here's the site's own description: "PMSBuddy.com is a free service created with a single goal in mind: to keep you aware of when your wife, girlfriend, mother, sister, daughter, or any other women in your life are closing in on "that time of the month" — when things can get intense for what may seem to be no reason at all."

We must be doing something right, ladies, because a new study shows that there are more young girls using computers than young boys.
Much like the study from over a year ago that revealed more women online than men, it showed that not only are more girls using computers, but their mothers are providing more assistance than fathers. New technology in the household looks like it's the provenance of the females in the house!

Now, I'm not going to reinforce the stereotype that there are NO women at Macworld. Because there are. Just not a lot.

2008 was a great year for movies, especially for me since tech is becoming more and more prominently featured. A number of the leading ladies in my favorite flicks from this year embraced their cell phone as the chic accessory that it is — or can be, when you pick the one that matches you. Check out my top cell phone addicted female characters of the year.

Well, it started with chat rooms, then online dating, then destigmatized online dating, then further legitimized Facebook hookups so can we really be surprised that Japanese girls are all over the latest web love trend: The Virtual Boyfriend?
The just-launched Webkare is a social networking site in Japan — aimed solely at young women — that encourages its members to flirt with and capture the hearts of the virtual boyfriends available. Five days after it was announced, over 10,000 users joined up to try their hand at virtual dating.
