Have you ever seen those guys on the bus that are listening to music through their phone’s speakers? Don’t be that guy. Nobody likes that guy. Everyone else is riding peacefully, listening to their music of choice through personal, private headphones, but he’s bumping Soulja Boy without a hint of irony. More »
Earlier today, while Tim Cook was introducing the new greatest gadget ever, he got a little rowdy. Speaking about internet usage, he claimed that iPads account for “92% of tablet traffic.” Cook surmised that it was because nobody actually uses Android tablets: More »
The internet makes everything weirder. It’s no surprise, then, that one of the first kids shows to get picked up after a viral YouTube video was Adventure Time, one of the most bizarre shows to ever grace cable television. Adventure Time’s effortless weirdness is a sharp contrast to Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim shows, which always seem like they’re trying too hard. The characters in Adventure Time aren’t.

Now is the worst time to buy an iPhone accessory. We don’t actually know what Apple’s going to release on September 12, but we can count on it being different than the 4S.

Movies like The Avengers and Avatar demand huge screens, measured in feet, not inches. And you’ve got to see them in 3D. A small LCD or plasma TV won’t give you the full experience. You’ve got to get a projector. More »
Modern electronics go bad. They may not rot like vegetables, but a look at the Dealz from two years ago proves that some gadgets certainly have a shelf life. But there’s some technology that never goes obsolete. A great example of that is the eponymous tools for the Swiss army. The standard Swiss Army knife was so popular that it has become a worldwide phenomenon. And like the knife, the Swiss army flashlight is a classic. More »
The 2012 Macbook Air may be the best ultraportable laptop, but let’s not forget about its older 2011 brother. More »
Labor Day is the traditional end of summer. Kids go back to school, grown-ups come back from vacation, and for some reason you can’t wear white anymore. But this year, a few excellent game developers—EA, Firemint, Rockstar Games—have used the occasion to discount a whole bunch of great gaming apps.

If you’ve only had coffee brewed hot, you’re missing out. Cold brew coffee is incredible. On a hot day, there’s really nothing better. But here in New York, the price of a big cup of cold brew routinely exceeds $4, which is starting to push the limits that most people are willing to pay for a cup of joe.
