What will they think of next? Here’s a device from chipchick that plugs into your computer’s USB port, it’s pretty much an aquarium, and a digital clock rolled into one. This is one useless device. It’s not only useless, but also unsafe for your computer. Last I checked, computers and H2O don’t mix.

What’s the point of this device? It looks cool, but not worth the retail price – $40. Plus, putting a fish in a small container like that is not cool!…

All of us have at least one Facebook friend that has pointless updates every 30 minutes such as:

“I’m bored”

“Going to go out, I’m so excited!”

“Eating lunch right now”

We all know they’re annoying but NYU undergrad, Soraya Mehdizadeh wrote a thesis on it.  She interviewed 100 students and found out the correlation between FB activity and insecurity.  In her research, she claims that that the more activity you have on FB, the lower your self esteem and the higher you score in the Narcissism Personality Inventory.  In other words, these FB users love attention and can’t get …

Damn, just when I was about to get Verizon’s Android Incredible, Netflix hits me with this mind bending news. What to do now?

Sneaky Apple guys allowed the release of the Netflix app after they got rid of the unlimited data plan. If you already had the unlimited plan beforehand, then you’ll be fine. But, for newcomers like me, it’d be hard not to go over the limit when watching my favorite Grey’s Anatomy episodes. Laugh all you want, it was a good show!

On a good note, reports are that the app will …

This video showed up yesterday of  GumballTech beating the current world record of 25.94 seconds held by Melissa Thompson.  He did it in 21.8 seconds but there’s already controversy.  Some are saying that Gumball misspelled some of the words and that he used a phone that’s easier for texting.  While others are saying, it’s not fair to the original recorder, Franklin Page who had a time of 35.54 seconds.  Both Melissa and Gumball already knew what they were going to be texting since it’s the same message that Page wrote.  But Page didn’t know beforehand what he was going to …

Talk about perfect timing!  John Myers wanted a family pic with the Wisconsin state capitol so he set the camera’s self timer on.  He got all of that in the shot but he also captured a man stealing their belongings.  It turned out Myers and his family put their bags by the building unattended so they can pose.  The thief took advantage of the situation and took their bags.  Myers checked his camera and noticed the thief.  He turned it in to the local police department and the cops recognized the culprit.  They arrested him and gave back the bags to …

Celeb plastic surgeon Frank Ryan died today after his car went off a cliff in Malibu.  He is best known for doing plastic surgery on Heidi Montag.  The cops are still investigating the incident but CHP confirms he was texting before the crash.  Celebrity publicist Charmaine Blake said “He lived up in Malibu on a tiny street and he was texting while driving and he accidentally went over the cliff.”

I’ve been guilty of texting while driving before but for the most part, I try to ignore messages until I’ve arrived at the destination or come to a complete …

Being a Hello Kitty fan, I was happy to receive a Hello Kitty themed thumb drive from Mimoco, Designer USB Flash Drives. I plugged it in to find a folder full of fun Hello Kitty/Mimobot cuteness.

On the technical side, this particular one was 2 GB, but they are available in 4 GB, 8 GB and 16 GB as well. This was simple to use with no software to install, only fun extras to personalize your computer.

There are many more themes and styles to …
