Mind Molester: Goodbye goodwill among men

Feast your weary, eggnogged eyes on what could possibly the most annoying thing to hit offices since pregnancy. The prank toy, intriguingly named the Mind Molester, gives off a beep every few minutes, quite similar to what smoke alarms do when their batteries run low. But since the gadget’s small and the sound it gives [...]

iRiver cheap, mountain high,

Sorry about the lousy pun. I’ve been starving myself so I can afford to buy presents this holiday and I just about passed out trying to figure out a proper title for this post. This was the best my brain cells could come up with after running on water and packets of Ramen noodles. Either [...]

IOGear 320GB External HDD for $160

The holiday season will undoubtedly produce a lot of digital video and pictures that you may not regret later, so until that day when you decide that shot of you after that eighth glass of eggnog (the one with you dancing on the table to ABBA, which sounds pretty embarrassing even without the visual evidence) [...]

Portable DVD Player for $220

Picture this: You’re in a car headed from Pizmo Beach to Albuquerque and you have a backseat filled with three screaming kids. You think to yourself, I really should’ve opted for that DVD entertainment package when we bought the SUV instead of putting the money into that butt implant. But it’s too late for that, [...]

Rios on Sale

They may not be in the business anymore, but Rio still has some pretty darn good (and cheap) MP3 players for sale. If, thanks to the Christmas season, you’re running low on cash but you still have this overwhelming patriotic urge to contribute to the US economy, buying these players is a great way to [...]

Stocking Stuffers for Dull Misers

‘Tis the season for office parties and sessions of Secret Santa, only now you don’t have to be the ***hole who gets the pretty blonde in your team a “For Dummies” guide as a gag gift. You can get her (or him, if you work for one of those frat parties they call outsourcing sales [...]

Cheap USB Cameras galore!

Let’s get one thing straight before we move on: Most people are lazy bastards. Given the choice between working their butts off and lounging in front of their computers, given that both will net them the same green, most everyone will almost always opt for the option to become a paid couch potato. Now, imagine [...]

USB Drives: You so crazy!

Fosfor gadgets has a list of the weirdest USB drives they could find, and some of them are real keepers. No kidding. Take the USB Thumb thumb drive, for instance: It’s creepy and sort of demented to consider having a dismembered thumb stick out of your computer’s USB slot, but heck if it isn’t a [...]

NYTimes.com does cheap and tiny gift list: Copycats!

Just when we thought we had cornered the market on the cheap and tiny gadget side, the New York Times goes and does something completely unwarranted: They come up with their own cheapo gift guide for the holidays.
Nah, we’re just kidding; there’s room enough for everyone. Plus, we do it much better anyway. (Haha, we [...]

EZAV EMP-700 Digital Audio Player

Small doesn’t even begin to describe this new Korean-born music player, although “fingernails required for operation” would sort of point out just how tiny this thing is. The “pebble” (as it’s wont to be called) will play MP3, WMA, ASF formats and has an FM tuner along with voice and FM recording capabilities. I don’t [...]
