Something strange is going on with Apple prices. There have always been a few small discounts on Apple goods, but rarely have there been so many on the newest models. During the Christmas season, Best Buy and Walmart had a price-matching war on the iPhone 5. Then, last week, there was an unprecedented sale on new MacBook Airs from Best Buy. Today, we’ve found significant sales on two current-generation Apple toys: More »
You’ve probably got a TV languishing unused somewhere in your home. Or you’ve got a beautiful modern dumb TV and no easy way to stream Netflix on it. Either way, it’s hard to find a less expensive way to add internet to your TV than this D-Link MovieNite Plus streaming box. Sure, it doesn’t have a plethora of streaming options like the Roku 2 XS or the simplicity of the Apple TV, but at $50 less than the heavy hitters, it doesn’t have to. It will serve Netflix, Pandora, and YouTube in 1080p with aplomb. More »
Moleskine notebooks are marketed as if they’re the same notebooks that Picasso and Hemingway used. That’s a bit of a stretch, but that doesn’t mean that Moleskine notebooks aren’t fantastic and totally worth the premium price. The paper is thicker — almost creamy — the covers are feel nice, and the weight and color of Moleskine’s page lining is just right. They’re great notebooks. They also never go on sale. More »
Back in September when Mario Aguilar set out to find the best noise canceling headphone, he preferred the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC9 over competition from AKG, Sony, and Bose. As he opined: More »
Although The Sims 3 came out in 2009, folks are still buying it today. It’s partly because new graphics and downloadable content continues to come out for the popular people-growing game. Some of the new DLC is awesome — outfits from the 70s and 80s, or seasons, or vampires — and it certainly adds a little flavor to dicking around with imaginary people in your simulated universe.

You may have heard about a certain big game coming up. The rituals surrounding this game consist of hundreds of millions of Americans gathering around televisions watching statistically large men hit each other as hard as they can. And if you’re going to watch a game of inches on a big screen, you want a nice, large panel. More »
Seamless is claiming that they can tell the flu is worse this year because more folks are ordering orange juice this year. Makes sense: orange juice is full of sunshine and vitamin C. But you don’t need a delivery boy to get good orange juice. You can make it at home — even if you feel like crap — if you’ve got the proper tools. More »
Bang & Olufsen is a Danish outfit that makes high-quality goods for audiophiles and videophiles, but most of their products are aimed at consumers who don’t really care about price (translation: expensive.) The A3 iPad dock falls firmly in that category. Most accounts and reviews call it a uniquely and attractively designed — if bizarre — iPad dock and they liked the effect of turning your Apple tablet into a little B&O TV. More »
If you’re reading Gizmodo, I don’t have to tell you what an iPad is. Therefore, Dealzmodo will keep it short: eBay’s daily deal is a 16GB WiFi iPad 4 for $475. That’s $25 off what Apple (and everyone else) charges and you won’t have to pay tax, so you’ll end up saving a little more on top. Sure, it’s not most enormous discount in the world, but it is the latest and greatest iPad and Gizmodo’s choice for the best full-size tablet. This is the lowest price Dealzmodo has seen online for it, but if you live nearby a Micro Center you can pick one up for $460 (although you’ll have to pay tax.) More »
Mensa—the club for people who know they’re smarter than you—is offering its home test for free during the month of January. It’s an IQ test that takes 32 minutes to complete and at the end it’ll tell you whether you’re Mensa material. Although acing this test won’t get you admitted to Mensa—that test has to be taken in a controlled environment—it’s a really good approximation, and a good score would certainly be good enough to declare yourself a genius, at least to your dumb friends.
