The place to find that special something that your Geek wants (or to find that something you want for yourself)
Color. Laser. Printer. It rolls off the tongue nicely, but it sure doesn’t sound very sexy.
So what would it take for me to get you to buy one? A free iPod? How about a free PlayStation Portable? Maybe a free GPS?
Believe it or not, that’s exactly what NewEgg is offering when you buy the Xerox [...]

Graphics tablets have always been rather niche, despite Wacom’s best efforts over the years to mass market them.
The Bamboo is the latest attempt to sell graphics tablets to non-graphics professionals. It’s small, basic, and cheap. The latter being the most important factor going for it, if you ask us.
The Bamboo tablet features a 5.8″x3.7″ active [...]
Perhaps the most annoying out-of-the-box shortcoming of Apple’s beloved iPod, iPhone, and AppleTV products is the lack of support for DivX or XviD movies.
Granted, those are the two formats most preferred by file sharers (so you can’t blame Apple for wanting to appease their media partners), but that’s really irrelevant: virtually every other similar device [...]

We’re vain. We like JBL’s Spyro Speaker System simply because it looks pretty cool.
We haven’t even listened to it, to be honest, but given JBL’s track record we’d be surprised if the tiny Spyro delivered anything much better than “acceptable” sound for a 2.1 speaker system in its price range.
But you’re not buying the Spyro [...]

The more ubiquitous iPods and iPhones become, the more ubiquitous iPod docks should become, too, that way you’ll never be too far away from a full charge. And you won’t have to hassle with USB cables to connect your iPod to your computer.
iHome’s new iH70SRC computer speakers have two channels (meaning there’s no subwoofer), feature [...]

Remember how cool scroll wheels were when they started popping up on mice about 10 years ago? Suddenly, you didn’t need to point the cursor at little arrows to navigate up and down.
A few years ago, Apple asked the question “Why only up-and-down?” They answered with the Mighty Mouse, which replaced the scroll wheel with [...]

Ever since Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the MacBook Air to the world by pulling it out of a manila envelope, accessory makers have been designing sleeves for the laptop that mimic that experience (minus the music playing in the background).
Manila Mac’s AirMail ($34 shippied) was one of the first on scene. It features manila-colored [...]
