Some people have a lot of time on their hands. Case in point, this complete monster sized chess set is made with 100,000 lego pieces. I love playing chess and I find those commemorative chess sets to really be a collector’s item, so I’m really tickled to see that someone actually took the time to [...]
If you have a home office but don’t like the idea of it being in the house, here’s the office pod. A 7×7 square cube that accomodates one person is only available in the UK at this point, but who knows who soon it will appear over here. I think the benefit to this is [...]
With all these tablet computers coming out so close to each other, it makes it hard to decide which one is best. It seems like each one has some ideal functions that others don’t, but none of them seem to be the complete package. It makes me want to hold off until I can test [...]

AT&T is looking to almost double the termination fee for smart phones from $175 to $325. The reason they’re doing this is to try and recover the losses incurred when someone terminates a [...]
As someone who likes technology and sees the benefits of it, I have to say that there are sometimes when it’s ok to be away from the internet for a while. Take, for instance, the iLoo. This was designed by Microsoft’s UK branch for public access. It’s a public toilet with internet access. That’s right; you [...]
If you thought your personal life and your professional life could be separate, you may want to rethink that. There’s a waitress down in North Carolina who is looking for another job because of it. She waited on a couple who kept her past her clock out time and compensated her with a $5 tip. [...]
A team from MIT has unjust unveiled a new design for aircraft that has increased fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and the ability to take off on shorter runways.
