Amazon has launched a new service offering unlimited content for kids using its Kindle Fire tablets. The costs ranges from $2.99 to $9.99 depending on your set-up. The idea is to appeal to parents who find a tablet is a great way to keep a child occupied, but don’t want the hassles of making sure […]
Over the weekend, I attended the B Geeky Collectible Bazaar in a warehouse in Atlanta, Georgia’s West End. Think of it like one large geeky garage sale, where the “vendors” were local geeks just like you and me, selling some of their DVDs, comics, manga, action figures, video games, collectibles, props, clothes, etc. to other […]
So you remember how people thought it was cool that you could buy a toy helicopter that could be controlled by your iPhone? That’s got nothing on the Puzzlebox Orbit.

Here’s a few amazing deals we stumbled on while browsing around online today. We’ll update this post a few times during the day and add new deals when […]
Yet another scientific development that I can link to Star Trek: we’re one step closer to Lt. Commander La Forge’s VISOR. Scientists at Second Sight have developed a device that will allow the visually impaired to stream braille directly onto their retinas. Second Sight already has a device called Argus II, which they call a […]
