When you purchase a technology, do you actually own it? If your answer is “yes,” you might be sad to know that the issue isn’t so black and white. Software packages are well known for EULAs (end user license agreements) that forbid resales, and the…

It’s been five months since the launch of the Nexus 10, and Google has finally made an official accessory for it available through Google Play. The first flip-case comes with “rounded corners” to give it an “ultra-slim fit”. It will be available in two colors:…

Just because you’re a geek, it doesn’t mean you don’t like to look sharp. We get that, so here’s something that could help rock your penchant for hardware along with that style — a chip-inspired comb to boot you into manscaping mode. (Not that women couldn’t…

Jeans and smartphones are not a dynamic duo, not by a long shot. Who hasn’t had the yucky experience of excavating a smartphone out of a pair of bootcut or skinny jeans, or feeling the device poking you in the butt when you sit down?…

The Click and Grow is one of those appliances that you look at and sort of chuckle because it seems absurd. I say seems, because anyone can grow some peppers, flowers, basil any any other herb, right? Not this guy, you’d be amazed at how…
