Poor posture, bad back, stiff neck, lack of circulation in your legs….
These are just a few of the dozens of health problems that can be
caused by sitting all day, especially if you’re watching a screen for a
good percentage of it. You could, of course, buy a standing desk. Or,
you could look into getting one of the amazingly versatile Varidesk®
designs that let you move your desk up and down as you stand or sit.
Nice to have a choice, eh?

For anyone who doubted that the Oculus Rift has some awesome
applications outside video games, it gives me great pleasure to present

love to hear, but can’t afford those Lyric prices. It’s the iHear, and
wait ’til you see what’s different about these hearing aids!

Intel is rather serious about making a mark in the slate PC market. Serious enough, in fact, that it will soon augment its lineup of Atom processors with nine or so new ones. Even the partial specs list we’ve gotten a hold of is confusing, so allow me to untangle it for you.

I’ve got some bad news for those of you who’ve been waiting for Oculus VR to revolutionize the world of video games – it might not be happening. Earlier today, Facebook acquired the company for $2 billion. Not surprisingly, industry figures and financial analysts alike weren’t exactly pleased.
