It’s no secret we think Wicked Lasers are wicked cool here at Gizmodo. The problem is that they’re always a luxury; never a necessity. Sure, it would be really awesome to play with the LaserSaber, but nobody’s head is going to pop if they don’t (some balloons might, though.) But that’s also what makes a super-powerful laser the perfect gift for your geek friends. More »
Airplay is the best way to get quality wireless audio into your home. Klipsch makes some fine-sounding Airplay products, including the G17 Airplay Speaker, which is packing some great internals.

However, deal hunters know that there’s still one day every year when there’s a chance you score an absolute steal. This year, Black Friday falls on November 23. More »

Who would’ve guessed that the hero gadget of Hurricane Sandy would’ve been the lowly power strip? Connected Manhattanites, lacking power for their phones and laptops (or streetlights), staggered uptown to find a place to charge up, only to find any free outlet already taken. But good samaritans plugged in power strips, and brought the power to the people. New Yorkers rejoiced. More »
While it’s not quite the 20 percent firesale we’ve grown accustomed to, Best Buy’s 15 percent off of iTunes gift cards still represents a healthy discount on your possibly overpriced movie rentals and season passes. Get it while it’s hot! Which it should be all day. More »
Hurricane Sandy is about to hit the East coast, and that means millions of Americans are hunkered down and staying safe. That’s the wise decision, and if you’re homebound, you’re probably all stocked with provisions, listening to a Hurricane Sandy Spotify playlist, and you’ve already posted this freaky horse-headed jogger to your Facebook wall. That’s a great way to ride the storm out, as long as you have internet. But if your power goes out, there’s a good chance your modem or router—and primary connection to the outside world—will be powerless. More »
So you got up early this morning and ordered yourself a spankin’ new iPad Mini. Good for you! Sure, the iPad Mini might not be the best value, and that screen can be called pixel-poor, but there’s still enough there that millions of people will buy one. Considering the fact that the iPad Mini is rolling with almost two-year-old guts, you might be looking to upgrade sooner than you’d like.

And that means slapping a case on your iPad Mini the second it comes out of the box. More »
While the email account you’re currently using—be it Gmail, Yahoo, or heaven forbid, Hotmail—may be free, there is a real cost associated you may not be accounting for: your time. Every email that you have to archive, delete, or report costs you seconds of your life. Every store you’ve ever bought something from that now thinks it can send you emails whenever is stealing your time. But there are real, important emails in your inbox that you don’t want to miss. So you slog through hundreds of emails for the few that matter. More »
I just got invited to a Halloween party this weekend. That’s great; it means I have friends! But I don’t have a costume. This happens every year—I toss around great conceptual costume ideas, but then October 24th rolls around, a week before Halloween, and I’ve got nothing. Some of you are in the same situation. Sure, if you’ve got two iPads you’ve got a great creepy costume, but most people in this spot usually settle for a half-assed reappropration of street clothes, or they run to a big-box store and pay full price for a outfit they only wear once.
