As we begin 2013, we’re stuck in a kind of tablet limbo. Most companies rushed to get devices out for the fall, while the models we saw at CES 2013 aren’t yet shipping. As such, it’s a mostly familiar deck, with Apple, Google and Microsoft once again striving for the top spot. That said, there are new entries from Amazon and ASUS, and many of us who didn’t score some sweet loot this holiday season have a slate-sized pile of cash to spend. If you’re in that situation, continue on for our first tablet guide of 2013.
Note: If you’re looking for tablets with an Atom or Core i5 CPU, you’ll find those in our forthcoming laptop buyer’s guide, since they have the same guts as notebooks (or netbooks, in some cases). For the purposes of this tablet guide, we define tablets as slate-type devices with low-power ARM processors.

If you’re watching the Winter X Games this weekend, you might see that insane Super Pipe course and wonder how they cut something that big (22 feet tall) out of snow and make it so perfectly symmetrical. The answer is the Zaugg Pipe Monster. It’s like a Zamboni for frozen half-pipes. More »

There’s nothing quite like a nice hike through a snowy wonderland in the dead of winter. There’s also nothing quite like busting your ass on the ice when you do it. Boot chains can help keep you upright, but there’s no need to shell out for a pair when you can just whip up your own for a lot less. More »

The weather will soon get ugly and the temperature could drop to brutal lows this winter. Reflect the ugliness of it all by donning these freaky winter masks by Brutal Knitting aka Tracy Widdess.
You know how some things are so ugly that they end up looking pretty good? Well, I guess you can say that applies for these masks because they look absolutely freaky but they’re strangely all very appealing.
Expect people to give you funny looks or stare at you when you’ve got one of these masks on. But at least they won’t know who you really are, so if you spot someone you know, feel free to walk on by. You might actually end up freaking them out if you say “Hi!” anyhow.
