We have never felt so profoundly let-down and disappointed by our Power Wheels. Ready to teach your kids that the measure of a true baller ages 3 and up is not in dollars and cents, but the sweetness of his ride? Then there can be no better plaything than the chrome-plated wheels of the electric ride-on GMC Sierra ...
Every time up until now when we've imitated Oogie Boogie slamming his fist and re-rolling his signature nice, we just keep getting kicked out of casinos and buying people new coffee tables. Know how much seven oak coffee tables will set you back? We do. Bots Battleground is the game that finally cuts us a break. ...
Standard keyboard configurations have their uses and degrees of genius in their designs. In certain specialized instances, "less" just happens to be "more". So it just happens to be with Logitech's pared-down G410 Atlas Spectrum, an RGB tenkeyless mechanical keyboard tailored for both the durability and speed that ...
We've always admired the will Tony Stark quickly found in IRON MAN to leave the world a better place than when he came into it. Not that we'd be ungrateful for putting his life on the line to save all of existence from Loki, the Skrulls and Ultron even after getting a great big shrapnel hug from one of his own bombs, ...
Show of hands, everyone: who out there has read Ayn Rand's ATLAS SHRUGGED to completion? Stop laughing.

Kids innately know how to joke and as the years pass children learn how to prank effectively as well. It is almost like an evolutionary process – joking and then learning to conduct pranks properly. As the years pass this skill becomes refined to near perfection, usually by the time big kids head off to college. ...
LG sometimes winds up regrettably but understandably lost in a mad shuffle of wireless device and wearable innovation dominated neck-and-neck by Samsung and Apple. This is one time the personal-tech arms race owes to their somewhat underdog competitor to sit up and take notice, thanks after the reveal of a tether-free ...
If anything is a bona fide boon of the practical minimalist movement in the size of most modern personal technology, it is that downsizing the dimensions no longer necessarily means a zero-sum game with performance.

Thank you, Rhei. It's almost a dream too surreal to be true without a double-shot of every damn drug in existence: we could now easily and happily binge-watch the passage of time. There's something that's just so very captivating, Zen and even just a bit Time Lord about a liquid display that never assumes the exact ...
If you can't be handsome, at least by handy. For all we use our mitts for on a daily basis, you'd think our miraculous autonomic nervous system would'e better adapted itself by now to keep them warm and limber instead of stiffly frozen solid during the coldest 4-6 months out of the year. Luckily, a majestic and ...
There is no better place for a device that resembles the glaring "weak spot" of either a video game boss or a Sontaran foot soldier than a dance floor near you.

Ah, fresh creamery butter. Is there anything more comforting? Well, well, we at last are privileged to smirk and say this once more: you are wrong, Hugh Jackman!

Let's talk Apple peripherals for a moment. It isn't that they don't give their level-best to making quality accessories, but from designs to actual functionality, the very best extras to pair with an iThing don't always come from Cupertino. That's why we're more than a bit relieved that Logitech has stepped up and ...

How, exactly, did people savor music to the fullest before there were bright, pretty things to look at while it played?

Once we get past the joyful warmth and goodwill of Christmas and the let-it-all-hang-out-and-put-the-pics-on-Instagram hedonism of New Year's Eve, winter can be a cruel beast that makes us all pay for that respite in metric-tons of snow shoveled and epic gymnastic face-plants on icy pavement. We've savoring every ...
There will never be such a thing as too much cross-compatibility between devices, too much information that we can volley back and forth between handy platforms.

As admittedly mind-bendingly cool as the Musical Tesla Coil undisputedly is, this merits a bit of caution.
