It’s Friday! Maybe you just got paid. You could use that money for boring stuff like bills, rent, and food, or you could act like a wonderfully impulsive consumer and spend it on any number of products. Here are some ideas to get you started based on your taxable income bracket.

You’re low-income, not …
The Rube Goldberg Competition challenges teams of college (and high school) students to over-engineer a contraption that will perform a simple task – think, Mousetrap. Saturday, engineering students flocked to Purdue University for the national contest, ready and excited to … dispense some hand sanitizer.
What I love about this …
It’s no secret that the best ideas hit you while you’re either dreaming or in the shower. Best of luck trying to write something down while you’re asleep unless you sleepwalk habitually, in which case your scribbling probably looks like “Osmosis is after me. Bread! Taking Shasta by noon.”
Writing in the shower is a much more …
It’s come to the attention of the nerd collective that two of Apple’s iPad accessories will be delayed until May. That’s right, the iPad keyboard and 10W USB power adapter are being pushed back until sometime in May.
I’m wondering why Apple doesn’t delay the iPad, too. The case won’t even ship until the week after. And who …
“MOG is where your music listening dreams come true. All of them. Weird.”
There’s something about music that has the ability to lift your spirits, crush your soul or keep you even-keeled. Maybe it’s an inherent trait that’s built into all of us or maybe I’m an emo kid that relies on music to dictate what mood I’m going to be …
So I was talking to my brother the other day about pre-ordering the iPad, which I didn’t do, and he mentioned this SD card adapter that he was going to buy. I thought he was talking about ZoomIt, but it turns out that Apple is making a camera adapter for the iPad. My brother claims that it was announced during the iPad press conference …

Every facet of the business is playing catch up to companies like Microsoft, Samsung and Apple. What went wrong?
I fondly remember my …
During his spiel at the Goldman Sachs technology conference Tim Cook addressed the giant pink elephant that’s been sitting in the corner for the last three years: Apple TV. According to Apple’s COO, the set-top box is still a “hobby” and they’re going with their “gut” by keeping it around. Apple isn’t interested in …
Chris Anderson and the folks from Adobe shared a tiny morsel of what Wired might look like on a tablet last week at TED. What they showed was “live code” with actual copy from Wired and not a fancy mockup video like this one. What’s most interesting is that the design team that puts together the print edition of Wired in Adobe …
Allie alluded to our Toy Fair adventures yesterday in the Daily Dose and today we bring you Techland’s Best of Toy Fair 2010. Selections were made for kids ranging in age from 6-90. Some are motorized and interactive while others need to be under lock and key, but mostly, they’re fun and enjoyable for all.
So, without further ado, …
“My true love is out there somewhere and they can go f— themselves.”
Oh, someecards, the way you make trivial commercial holidays like Valentine’s Day bearable is priceless. Thank you.
The modern day dating scene is a cold, unfriendly and vile environment filled with introverted, earbud wearing, awkward individuals who rarely …
Welcome to another edition of “Things I Didn’t Know Existed Until Today.” This week I’m taking a look at the ZoomMediaPlus zoomIt app-enabled accessory for the iPhone/iPod Touch. It’s similar to the AirStash, but streams content directly off a plugged in SD card. This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for, people!
