Ten Bucks Buys a Sony Watchman, the iPhone of 1986

What if you had a portable television player that could fit right in your pocket? That’s right, people. The Sony Watchman: A television that goes where you go.

Oh Great, Augmented Reality Eyepatches Will Probably Lead To Super Pirates

The excitement for Google’s Project Glass has been lukewarm at best, but apparently there are at least a few technophiles out there excited for the technology. Like Gregory McRoberts, who apparently couldn’t wait for Google to finish its augmented reality-enhanced specs, so he designed his own that’s worn like an eyepatch instead. It makes the…

Apple is really targeting a niche market with its newest device—an iPhone geared toward college girls that comes with an already shattered screen.

The suspension isn’t shocking, with regular calls to illegal activity and the sharing of personal information coming from the…
