Halleloo! Finally, Patti Returns in a New Episode... →
After what seems like forever, the interwebs’ best parody series (yes, it’s even better than the one you’re thinking of) is back, and sassier than ever. Click the link, grab a midmorning cocktail, and spend twelve minutes basking in Patti’s shade.

Poisoned iPhone Factory Workers Implore Users to... →
Just a day after ABC gave American viewers a look inside the highly controversial Foxconn factory in Shenzhen —where all of the wonderful gadgets we can’t live with out are manufactured under less-than-wonderful working conditions— workers from another factory known to produce iPhone parts have publicly claimed that they’ve been poisoned by chemicals used as part of the manufacturing...

Two Months With Galaxy Nexus
Most gadget reviews are based on product specifications, unboxing, and a few minutes of testdrive, and thus fail to capture what life with the device is actually like. And when it comes to something as crucial as a smartphone, which gets several hours of use each day, specs and first impressions are insufficient for choosing the right handset. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus —due to its...

Pilot of Sutherland's New Show Fails to Touch Me →
Ever since 24 ended, fans have been deprived of their weekly fix of forty or so minutes of deeply concerned, seemingly constipated Jack Bauer face. Well, starting March 19 that’s all gonna change. No, 24 isn’t being brought back. Instead, Kiefer Sutherland is returning to television in FOX’s newest drama, Touch, in which Sutherland plays a widower deeply concerned about his mute son....

One Touch Is All It Takes →
Zany North Korean Anti-American propaganda posters might make you chuckle until you realize that they’re working, and that there’s an entire (potentially nuclear-armed) nation full of people who’ve been conditioned to hate you. These, however, are outright hilarious. Check out how Bowser’s PR recruits henchmen for the never ending battle against mustachioed plumbers and...

I haven’t yet read the book, but I gifted it to my roommate two Christmases ago, and he wasn’t shy about expressing his disappointment. In fact, he proceded to slowly read through the book so he could continue telling me how much it sucked. Fortunately, Collin hasn’t made a name for himself as an arbiter of good taste, and as a fan of non-Twilight entrees in this genre, I am...
