I have to admit, I was a little bit gobsmacked when I saw that our little nerd world is becoming so mainstream that Jimmy Fallon had a gadget blogger featured on his show the other night — and it wasn't even for an iPhone launch! Now, I believe Mr. Fallon is genuinely a geek (and I know Questl...

Remember that whole Nokia flagship POS issue? Well, it looks like they’ve finally cleared that up. Ever since around 7PM ET they started selling the Nokia 5800 NAM edition handsets. What, you didn’t expect us to bum rush the store and purchase one already? We’ve taken some pictures...

HP was nice enough to send us a archetype Firebird 802 gaming rig, and while we haven't had a chance to fire it up and start sucking at Crysis quite yet, we thought we'd throw up a quick unboxing for you.

Lanvin Bette Davis T-Shirt The oh-so-familiar navy blue box from luxury retailer Luisa Via Roma never fails to bring cheer at times of depression.

I will sometimes refer to Macworld Expo as second Xmas -- for many years, it has been tough not to come home from Macworld with a new tech toy. In 2005, I came home with an iPod Shuffle; in 2006, I came home and ordered a MacBook Pro. In 2007, I saw the iPhone, and held off buying a new cellphone un...
