Asus 15.6" FHD IPS Touch Core i7 Laptop

Asus No Questions (We'll Tell You No Lies)

A laptop like this is nothing to turn up your nose at, you know. You could learn a lot from a laptop like this.

Once upon a time knowledge came from books. BOOK! HA! TODAY WE SCOFF AT BOOKS AS OUR ANCESTORS DID SCROLLS AND CARVED WHEAT! Today we of the modern era use our 1TB hard drives for MUSIC AND GAMES because the information of the ages is available for all! Don't believe us? Buy this Asus Q550 i7 and enter the Internet!

Do you know about chicoreus territus? Why, that's a gastropod mollusk in the family of murex snails! What about the name of microporous aluminosilicate minerals commonly used as adsorbents and catalysts? Duh, those are Zeolites! We've known about those since 1756! Try to keep up, okay?

Introducing the new iOS7 Woot app – your one-stop shop for all of your blender/wrench/laptop/projector/wine/T-shirt needs!

The Trivial Eye: Mad Boys & Girls

The period costumes and hairstyles of Mad Men are so perfectly done, and the '60s production design so pervasive, that it's startling to be reminded that the cast members have lives outside the show. And that some of them have the same history of ludicrous hairstyles and inadvisable outfits that the rest of us do. As Mad Men begins its final season (or next-to-final half-season? or whatever) this weekend, can you recognize these eight cast members in their pre-Sterling-Cooper days?

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.

Ooma Telo VoIP Home Phone System

We can only apologize

Branson selected at random.

Hello, hello baby

You called?

I can't hear a thing

Not even with my additional headset, you see, see

 

Wha-wha-wha did you say?

Oh, the phone company sucks

Sorry, I cannot call you

The line is busy

 

Li-line is busy

Li-line is busy

Sorry, I cannot call you

The line is busy

 

Just a second

With Ooma I can make calls all day

You should cancel plans with your phone compan-ay

Ooma works in HD

Caller-ID and call-waiting is free

U.S. calls? Pay only tax and fees

I'm in a tizzy

 

Stop callin', stop callin'

I don't wanna pay any more

Using that old landline is just a big chore

Choose Your Samsung 1080p LED Smart TV

Ouch, That Smarts

Ooh, look, everybody, it's Mr. Show-It-All.

You think you're soooo smart, don't you? Like you're God's gift to people who watch TVs possibly with a variety of other devices just because you can use your built-in Wi-Fi to connect your Smart Hub and load a few apps. OK, a few dozen apps. Or a few hundred, whatever. So, what, that makes you some kind of genius?

OK, great, so you can stream content from YouTube and Netflix and Hulu. Are they giving a Nobel Prize for that now? You think you're all that and a board of chips just because you can play video from an attached USB device, or music from a networked PC, or photos from your smart phone. What good did that ever do anyone, besides give them hours of pleasure?

Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch- 5 Colors

Whoaaaaa

It's your phone... but on your wrist... *mind explodes*

Not thirty years ago people were listening to vinyl, wearing bright colored shirts, recovering from a banking crisis and talking on huge wall phones. Today it's exactly the same... except for the part where the phone isn't on the wall. It's on your wrist. Your wrist.

It's hard to imagine what a game changer this is. Possibly because... it's not. No, seriously. People have been planning for this day since like forever. A way to get phone calls and texts on your wrists isn't anything that's in any way new.

HP 17.3" Full HD i7 TouchSmart Laptop

Supply-Side Electronics

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!

If there's one thing we've learned in nine-plus years of hustling discount widgets, it's that "good or bad?" is the wrong question to ask about a product. The question is, is the price right? A gizmo that stinks like feces at $100 might shine like gold at $20.

So we're hoping our latest price drop puts the shine on this HP 17.3" Touchsmart laptop. Aside from the irrational fear and loathing that Windows 8 inspires in the hearts of men, it can do a lot for a laptop at this price. That 1920x1080 touchscreen, 8GB DDR3 memory, the 1TB hard drive, four USB ports including one USB 3.0: these are burly specs. This laptop totally shreds, people! Come on!

Asus VivoTab RT 32GB Tegra 3 Tablet

Diet Slice

It's really thin, not just "thin for a Windows device".

For humans, there's thin, and there's Hollywood thin: the kind of genetically freakish or dangerously unhealthy thinness that looks good on the screen. For tablets, there's thin, and there's Apple thin: the kind of technically spectacular thinness that looks good in TV commercials.

This Asus 10" 32GB Tablet isn't an Apple device. But it really is Apple thin - just 0.3 inches thick compared to the iPad Air's 0.295 inches. Yes, it's a Windows device that's just barely thicker than the panes in your actual windows.
