Hasta La Gadget!

In 2008, Facebook rolled out a feature that’s so taken for granted, you probably don’t notice you’re looking at it half the time. But today, when you do check out the People You May Know section, it stands out. What’s with all the weird strangers? More »

A pair of exercise earbuds has to do more than just muffle the sound of your labored breathing. They need to be durable and sweat-proof, they need to stay in place when jostled, and they need to sound great. Of all the pairs we’ve taken out running, the Polk Audio Ultrafit 3000 might be the best buds yet. More »

If you love Amazon (especially their free two-day shipping for Prime members) and are environmentally friendly, Amazon has launched a website just for you. Vine.com is a shopping site that only sells organic and environmental-friendly products. The site sells all sorts of fun stuff, from organic groceries all the way to all-natural skin care products.

Vine.com sells pretty much anything, as long as its all-natural, organic, or environmentally friendly in some way. This means that in order for an item to show up on Vine’s website, it must fall into at least one of these categories: ability to remove toxins, energy-efficient, natural, organic, powered by renewable energy, reusable, made of sustainable materials or water-efficient.

The site’s frontman, Josh Dorfman, says that Vine “is a site that is not necessarily about saving the planet, though we feel the products are useful in that regard.” We know he’s being slightly modest, but he raises a good point. He mentions that “if you care about raising safe and healthy kids, and you feel green products without chemicals can help along the way, we’ve figured out ways to help you do that.”

Vine.com is a part of Quidsi, which is a company that Amazon has owned since 2010. They run other websites like Diapers.com, Wag.com, and YoYo.com. And like Amazon, customers will have a shot at free two-day shipping, thanks to the robots that pack boxes in the warehouse within minutes of receiving an online order.

You never really know what to expect when two of the bigger names in tech join forces and announce something fresh. In some cases you may see an end result of things like that RAZR i, but when Dropbox and Facebook are involved, you can surely bet it has to do with sharing something with your pals — and such is the case today. Dropbox announced earlier that it’s now allowing folks to share files with their friends inside Facebook Groups, giving users the ability to instantly post anything from notes to videos with a couple of simple clicks. Of course, those on the other side will be able to like what you share, leave comments, as well as be updated automatically as soon as an edit has been made. At the moment, not everyone’s seeing the changes just yet, though Dropbox has said it shouldn’t be too long before most people can spot the new feature.

Countless gamers have fantasized about driving the Warthog from Halo, or wielding Link’s sword from The Legend of Zelda series. But a considerably smaller contingency of video game enthusiasts have thought the same thing about Pac-Man. And that’s probably why the real-life version of the classic game has only been brought to life via a set of novel remote control racers. More »
