Acer 15.6" Full HD Core i5 Convertible Laptop
Like If Maserati and Viagra Made a Computer
Midlife crisis? Get a convertible!
Top down. Wind in your hair. Just roaring down the Information Superhighway without a care in the world. All you need to live the dream is this Acer convertible laptop. And a fan, probably.
The patented Ezel hinge puts that touchscreen right where you want it. Behind the keyboard. In front of the keyboard. With that 6GB DDR3 memory purring under the hood and that 15.6" Full HD LED display spread out before you, you can go anywhere.
A weight has been lifted. You can breathe deeper. You're free. You're alive again, damn it. Because you have a convertible.
The Trivial Eye: Basketball Movies
The likes of Eight Men Out and The Blind Side notwithstanding, basketball tops every sport on the silver screen. The back-and-forth scoring, the spectacular jumps and shots, the buzzer-beaters from halfcourt, the complex interplay of class and race: it's all made for the movies. Before the real basketball drama starts unfolding next week, can you identify these eight hoops films by their posters or DVD covers?
Answers are here. Please post your guesses, speculations, or arguments below! But know this: the Trivial Eye is presented for public amusement and no prizes are offered other than that familiar feeling of aggravation that so much of your mind is occupied by useless trivia.
There Can Be Only Pun: Crappy College Basketball Teams
You guys, I have an addiction. I'm addicted to puns. I need them. I can't get enough of them. I HUNGER FOR THEM. That's why I've set up this weekly blog feature: so you guys can feed my addiction. Every week, I'll name the topic, give you some examples, and then you'll pun away in the comments, on Facebook, or on Twitter. I'll choose the best ones and post them here next week. Sound good? Good! Let's do it!
THIS WEEK'S EPISODE: Crappy College Basketball Teams!
Next week, the tournament of young basketball teams begins. We'll be taking the week off from the pun post, so we figured we'd celebrate now… with some really crappy college basketball teams. That's right. We're looking for bathroom humor in the form of basketball team puns. Use the whole team name or just the school. Here are a few examples:
Asus VivoTab RT 64GB Tegra 3 Tablet
Dog Reviewed
This real, actual review should clear up a lot!
We could tell you all about this Asus VivoTab, but we know that nothing impacts a buying decision more than a real person's real review, so here's one from Terry, a dog stuck in a man's body after a wacky science experiment went wrong. Take it away, Terry!
Thanks for featuring my review, Woot! Let me cut to the chase: this tablet is excellent. I give it four bones out of five. I love it almost as much as I love sniffing butts and chasing cats. Every morning after I'm done peeing on all of the trees in my back yard, I turn on my Asus. I've gotta be careful not to engage its built-in front-facing camera, because if I do I might see myself on the screen and waste the whole morning barking at my own image because I think I'm another person. But that's really on me, not the Asus.
Music Monday: Songs With Just Enough Plot
Happy Music Monday! Last week Scott covered songs with too much plot. This week, however, we're going in the opposite direction! Today we're gonna collect songs that have JUST ENOUGH plot. Like, say, this one:
It takes one about two measures to have the tune down pat. After that, you're just along for the ride in this story of a man who loved and lost. Even before it was associated with Walter White, it was already a classic! And why? Because the story is just simple enough. You already know what's going to happen… but you can still hope you're wrong.
More stories to come. See you after the jump!

The Prodigal Sun
You won't believe what celestial orb powers this speaker
Looks like this doohickey includes a video, which means it's time for an official Woot Product Video Watchalong:
0:02 Motion graphics?? Product videos have gone so Hollywood…
0:07 Why on Earth did he tap it like that? Who does that?
0:09 You see, this young woman's character is meant to represent you, the discerning consumer. Her confusion is your confusion.
0:11 Cool people don't use their words when asked a direct question.
0:15 Much better than hiring a middle schooler to ride around on your pegs and blast songs on a boombox.
Choose Your VIZIO LED Smart TV w/ Wi-Fi
Tune In Tomorrow
Is it a computer that looks like a TV, or a TV that acts like a computer? In the future, it doesn't matter.
Remember how in old sci-fi movies and superhero comics, it was just assumed that the future would have all these TV screens that were also, like, supercomputer masterbrains capable of summoning any piece of information, any image, any video clip, whatever? They're here!
From a space-capsule friendly 32" to a supervillain's-lair-sized 70", these VIZIO Smart TVs combine high-definition video and Internet connectivity, powered by integrated Wi-Fi and a full suite of apps, from Hulu to YouTube, from Amazon Instant Video to Facebook. It's so tomorrow, you'll expect Cosmo Spacely to pop up and bark at you for being late to your job at Spacely Space Sprockets.
Onkyo 2.1CH Bluetooth Speaker System
Now That Dimension It
2.1 channels and everything's on!
Ooh, an "immersive 3D soundfield"! Sounds exciting! I bet it's like a big neon grid like in Tron except the sounds are COMING AT YOU!
Well, no. It actually just means that these little Onkyo home theater speakers provide much fuller, more directional sound than you'd expect given their size. And that's on top of the wireless convenience of Bluetooth, and the easy-to-use responsiveness to your TV remote. No crazy sci-fi wonderland here - just a solid set of home theater speakers that (almost literally) punch above their weight for music, games, and movies.
Hey, you know what would make a great movie? Something about an immersive 3D soundfield. Whatever that is.
HP ENVY 15.6" Core i7 TouchSmart Laptop
The Magic Store
I never go to the movies without my laptop, so I can watch something good.
Ugh, the sheer intolerable boredom of sitting through the latest Hollywood blah-buster! All I want is to sit in a darkened, windowless room with strangers, maybe enjoy a nine-dollar Coke. But I guess I can't do that without having to suffer through the likes of Thundercats: Dark Meow or Hagar the Horrible 3: Norsefeathers.
Fortunately, I distract myself from the tedium the same way I do at any coffee shop, laundromat, or wedding: with my HP Envy laptop. I just load that 1TB hard drive up with stuff I actually want to watch, and as soon as the lights go down, I'm whisked away on a magic carpet of dreams to a wondrous realm of the imagination - and away from the awful mess oozing all over the giant screen.

No, you're not seeing things. Out of our desperate attempt to be rich love for giving you options, we've added a little something extra for today. Come on in and check it out!
Someday you'll look back with fondness on the quaint little megacorporations that used to offer you broadband service. "Remember back before all the mergers? We used to be able to use the Internet without swiping our credit cards after every gigabyte we downloaded! You could actually use your Internet connection to watch TV! Then came... the monopoly..." That's what we'll talk about while we're waiting for our email attachments to download. Oooh, it's been half an hour now, let's see what this one is - darn, just another banner ad for those X10 cameras.
