You may not be able to purchase the rare earth magnets known as Buckyballs for much longer. They’re not banned yet, but the Consumer Product Safety Administration is suing to stop sales of the delightful toys. Here’s why: kids, too young to know better, have been eating the delicious-looking magnets, which wreak havoc while passing through the intestinal system by clumping together. More »

There aren’t many Bluetooth headphones worth lusting over. On one hand, audiophiles insist that sound quality over Bluetooth is too inferior to recommend over wired cans at the same price. But on the other hand, fuck wires. Wires suck. They’re always too long, or too short, or tangled all to hell. That’s why this Amazon deal for these Sennheiser MM 450 Flight Bluetooth headphones looks awesome. Not only are these headphones wireless, but they also have a slew of other valuable features: they feature active noise canceling and handy built-in media controls. For the truly lazy among us, there’s a button that allows sound to pass through without taking the cans off your head. And since they’re premium Sennheiser headphones, you can expect them to sound pretty damn good. If you buy these today, you’ll save over $220, making today the best day to pick a pair of these cans up. [Amazon] More »

USB is just the best thing ever. You can stick pretty much anything into those little drives and get something amazing. Whether lighting up my world, cooling down my face or even charging my iPhone, is there anything USB can’t do? These days it seems like the USB Flash Drive has actually sort of fallen behind. I mean, it’s a staple of any moderate computer user, but do we really care what it looks like? Some people just have terribly ugly ones. I have an old USB drive I’ve kept in my backpack for 5 years that still contains some pretty important files. Well, these themed Mimobot Flash Drives are not settling for anything less than adorable. You can customize them in any number of different characters, including the caped crusader. Get your favorite one now for 40% off. More »

Accurate voice controls for my devices are one my most sought after technological innovations. Microsoft Kinect’s Netflix voice-control is my favorite thing to use right now. I don’t even have to get out of bed to play the latest Star Trek episodes. I’m serious. I’ve watched almost all of them. And being able to say “Xbox, next episode” changed my life. Now here comes this VOCO Wireless Music System, which connects wirelessly to your Android device and can be controlled with the power of your voice. All for 28% off the normal price. I hope it’s as accurate as the Kinect because I feel like “search YouTube” as a voice command could lead to disastrous results. More »

You know, when I saw this deal I had no idea Indiana Jones hadn’t been released on Blu-Ray yet. It actually sort of worries me that maybe they’re doing bad things to the movies, like changing them in terrible ways. I just want my Indy to be just like the Indy I remember. I don’t want silly string to pop out when they open the Ark and that guy’s face melts off. I just want some high definition snake-hating Nazi-killing Indiana Jones with Short Round and Sean Connery. His character has a name, but he’s Sean Connery. He transcends his characters. Anyway, this is a fantastic deal. 46% off Indiana Jones: The Complete Collection if you pre-order it now. More »
