If you’re anything like me, you’d have poor circulation and really cold hands even when it’s 75 degrees outside. Don’t feel sorry for me, because I’m going to order this heated keyboard.

Monster iFreePlay Headphones Turn 2G iPod Shuffle Into Headgear

Tired of all the pocket (or shirt, if you’re a tool) real estate your iPod shuffle takes up? Monster’s iFreePlay cordless headphones (which look extremely familiar) let you jack your shuffle directly into a side dock built into the left ear. https://gizmodo.com/mutant-ipod-nano-headphone-headphones-feh-236395 These arguably work better than their nano counterparts, though, since you can control…

Brando’s Balls Have USB Ports

Loath as we are to cover celebretard news – we leave that to our cousins on Gawker, Defamer and the brand new Jezebel – we feel we couldn’t NOT cover this one – it does, after all, have a tech twist to it.
