Alien Trick or Treat Bucket: Now Gimme Some Candy!

Halloween isn’t far off, so it doesn’t hurt to start shopping now before all of the good stuff is sold out. While your kids might already have ideas for costumes, I bet their trick or treat pumpkins aren’t being given the slightest thought.

While the SuperBuckets Alien Xenomorph would be most at home with a Ripley costume, it’s pretty darned great all on its own, as its creepy alien head and pearly choppers will scare your neighbors into tossing some extra candy into the bucket just to get you off their porch quicker. And I’m not talking about the crummy stuff like Necco wafers, raisins, or those butterscotch old people hard candies. This scary buckethead will be filled with the good stuff like Tootsie Pops, Reeses, Twix, and Snickers.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 review: The right size at the wrong price

For the first time since launching the Galaxy Note, Samsung has made two sizes of its flagship big-phone. The Note 10+ is a powerhouse, but frankly, I find the smaller Note 10 more intriguing. It has a slightly smaller screen than the Note 9, s…

NASA will test quiet supersonic jet using 30-mile-long microphone array

Quiet supersonic jets may one day fly over land to offer faster commercial and passenger flights.
