Account Hacked? These Password Managers Keep Your Everything Safe

You know you should be using strong, unique passwords for every website and service you login to. You don’t, of course, because it’s a pain. A password manager can help. But which one should you use? Today, Zappos informed its customers that millions of their login credentials were compromised over the weekend. Horrible, if you’re…

Taco Bell’s Stupidly Exploitative MLK Day Tweet

Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the greatest figures in American history, and helped kick segregation squarely in the balls. So, what’s the best way to honor this brave man’s legacy? How about comparing it to a fucking taco! “Have you ever dreamed about eating @TacoBell and then woke up and made that dream…

Get Into a Dog Fight, Blow Your Nose On Your Enemies, and Filter Up Those Photos

Manipulating photos to look like they were taken with a crappy camera is all the rage these days. I can’t even post a photo unless I’ve distressed the edges. It’s a sickness. I would say I have the cure, but I don’t. Instead I have an iPad app that’ll really go to town on your…

The Coolest Air Interception I Have Ever Seen

This image is now making the endless copypaste Tumblr rounds wrongly labeled as “missiles in the stratosphere.” But if those are not really missiles, what are they? The answer is much more interesting, according to Military.com. Two Mig-29 [on the background] intercepted by F-15 Eagles [the two trails flying away and crossing] of the 21st…

This Power Cord’s Bulge Is a Bluetooth Kill Switch

There were a handful of new home automation solutions at CES this year, including Belkin’s WeMo which was designed to be easy to install and use. But it’s still no where near as simple as ZMote’s new Bluetooth Smart Cord. It’s nothing but a three foot extension cord with a bulge that hides a Bluetooth…

Twitter Doesn’t Make You Martin Luther King

Today it’s very, very easy to pretend to care about something. The election, racism, pro-democracy uprisings. These causes are noble, and most of the people supporting them are lazy. Today, let’s remember what giving a shit really looks like. Hint: not your twitter picture. Twitter, Facebook, and other means of quick chatting have proven useful,…

This 120GB Corsair SSD Is Your Shock-Proof Deal of the Day

A couple of weeks ago I had to replace my hard drive for the second time in as many years. It’s probably my own fault, as I am anything but kind to my laptop. But I swore before this latest occurrence that if I had to do this again, I would get an SSD. Then…

Question Block Lamp Won’t Grant You a Single Extra Life

I’m not entirely sure how Etsy hasn’t already been done-in by copyright lawyers, but I’m glad they’re still around. Because where else are you going to find awesome unlicensed stuff like this Super Mario question block lamp? In Mario’s world these inquisitive brick structures dot the landscape, providing random power-ups and benefits to the protagonist…

Bodum’s Automatic Coffee Machine Isn’t Just Prettier Than Yours—It’s Better

Okay, it’s official: Pourover coffee is over, thanks to Bodum’s new pourover machine. Just kidding. Sort of. But Bodum’s new Bistro Pourover is one supremely interesting home coffee device. Not because it’ll deliver a cup of coffee that’ll murder what your favorite barista’s tattooed arms wring out of a really delicious coffee from Honduras with…

DreamTraveler Power Bar Dock: Bedside Outlets Aplenty

Besides reliable internet, our most valuable commodity at CES was power. And after scrounging for working outlets for a week, I’ve got a soft spot for iLuv’s new DreamTraveler power bar which can juice up to six devices at once. The three grounded outlets ’round back are perfect for powering laptops and larger electronics, while…

Six Foot Stormtrooper Cake Reveals the Empire’s Latest Diabolical Weapon: Diabetes

If you attend a Sci-Fi convention, you’re going to see about a squadron of Stormtrooper costumes. But only one Stormtrooper is a moist dessert that goes great with milk. Caketrooper. The 6-foot, 4-inch, 300-pound cake-infused soldier of the Empire was created by Oakleaf Cakes for the Arisia Sci-Fi convention. A metal frame serves as the…

Samsung Turns Any Window into an Amazing Computer

Windows! Yes, not the phone, or the operating system, but the thing you fling open when it’s too hot, wave to your friends from, and perhaps throw trash out of. Samsung’s turning your household glass into a touchscreen wonder. Mea culpa—this is probably the one thing we genuinely missed out on at CES. A sole…

The Worst Way to Sell Anything

Unless this is some sort of poetic retail conceptual art, which I doubt, this is probably the most botched product display of all time. Or maybe it’s because Australian tech store Dick Smith is subject to the mysterious forces of the Southern Hemisphere? Reverse toilet-flushing and whatnot. Or, this “Unlocked Rugged Mobile” is simply bullshit,…

Ultrabook: The New Most Meaningless Word in Tech (Updated)

Although we weren’t flooded by ultrabooks at CES to quite the extent we expected, the word itself was unavoidable. The skinny-sized laptops abounded, each alluring in its own way! That’s when we realized that there’s no such thing as an ultrabook. And we shouldn’t pretend that there is. “The Ultrabook” is less a thing than…
