Un. Be. Lievable. The familiar Torani-labeled bottles that you see at your local coffee shop come in a wide variety of flavors. Does bacon have to be one of them? Apparently, yes.
I’d consider myself a bacon lover through and through but I draw the line at Torani’s suggestion that I add this bacon syrup “to cocktails, lattes, …
Like the idea of the Kindle or the Nook but don’t want to shell out $260? Borders has you covered with the $150 Kobo eReader. It’s lacking the all-over 3G wireless connections found in its competitors but it costs over $100 less and features a Bluetooth connection that can be used to synchronize it “wirelessly with select …
If you saw a copy of Microsoft Office sitting unattended in a public area, what would you do? I’d think to myself, “Hey I use Google Docs, but Microsoft Office is expensive! I wonder where the rightful owner is. I’ll call Microsoft’s tech support hotline to ask them how to return it to said rightful owner and if they have no idea …
The newly-available 3G iPad is nearly identical to the standard iPad except for a $130 price premium and the ability to connect to AT&T’s cellular data network. Monthly plans range from $15 for 250 megabytes of data to $30 for unlimited data with no long-term contract. So is the 3G iPad worth the extra $130 and, if so, which data plan …
Newsflash! Plenty of people barely use any of their voice minutes any more. It’s all texting, e-mailing, and webbing (webbing, right?) nowadays. Virgin Mobile knows this and, as such, will soon offer an unbelievably aggressive BlackBerry plan.
Since Virgin Mobile is a prepaid operator (it uses Sprint’s network), you’ll have to …
Project Serpo details what apparently happened after the famous Roswell crash in 1947. Ever see Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

With the introduction of the Z600 series of Atom CPUs, Intel is promising processor speeds up to 1.9GHz for tablets and 1.5GHz for smartphones while maintaining long battery life and the …
Hewlett Packard has unveiled its updated line of Envy notebooks, with the big draw being the 14-inch Envy 14 priced at just under $1,000. The computer measures an inch thick and weighs 4.4 pounds, which is pretty good for a machine with a 14-inch screen.
It’s actually a 14.5-inch screen for those of you keeping score, and HP is …
If the iPad’s lack of Flash support has kept you from shelling out the $500+ to join the whole tablet movement but you’re still intrigued by the idea nonetheless, you may want to check out the prototype Android tablets that Adobe has been showing off at the Web 2.0 Expo recently.

The tollbooth transponder that I have on my car’s windshield is slick city, my main man. So slick, in fact, that it makes taking my wallet out of my back pocket to pay for gas, curbside pickup, and fast food seem like the most un-American waste of my very important time in recent memory.
