Woot is an awesome site that features a great deal each day. From shirts to wine, to the latest gadget, you can find great daily deals on Woot for an awfully low price. The only catch is that you have to be fast because the deals normally only go for that particular day and usually sell out fast.

The Teddy Bear USB drive does a really nice job of switching from sickly sweet to just sickening -- just rip its head off and plug its neck into your computer and it looks like you've crushed a little anthropomorphic bear's noggin and forced it into a tiny, little USB port.

"You may know him from the Stanford Prison experiment. Maybe you used his “Psychology and Life” text book in college or saw his “Discovery Psychology” TV series on PBS. Or perhaps you’ve read his recent book, “The Lucifer Effect”. Now Phil Zimbardo needs you. Dr. Philip Zimbardo, with a team of researchers, is beginning a new study concerning helpful behavior. The goal is to discover how individuals perceive the behavior of helpfulness."

Not many, but some. One is Armenia. The Armenians are annoyed at the Georgians for their generally shoddy treatment of the Armenian minority in Georgia. More to the point, Armenians generally look down their magnificent noses at Georgians, considering them self-indulgent, emotional, shrill, slovenly, unreliable, and just generally second-rate. Georgians don’t love Armenians either — they consider them sly, stuck-up and grasping. There are no exactly equivalent Western European stereotypes, but if you think “dour ...

Many readers are sending in coverage of a demo at Intel's developer forum of a wirelessly powered 60-watt bulb. The NYTimes gives background on Intel's improvement to the 'wireless resonant energy link' technology pioneered at MIT, where researchers achieved 50% efficiency of power transmitted several meters via magnetic fields. Intel reached 75% efficiency. Now they just have to make those coils a lot smaller.Read more of this story at Slashdot.

We've shown you how you can turn your (non-DRM-protected) music collection into custom iPhone ringtones using GarageBand and iTunes on a Mac, or software like ToneShop for Windows but the CyberNet tech site's made it easy for those with just a copy of iTunes for Windows to hack together their own tones. The basic trick is to single out a short section of a song in iTunes, export it to a non-protected AAC/M4A format, then ...

I have been doing this for a while now and it works great. Why pay $0.99 for a ringtone if you already own the song.

This is damn useful for Windows users. I was actually pretty annoyed when I realized that only "purchased" music could be turned into ringtones. This website gives you a very cheap alternative [but it's a bit complex/nerdy].

This gentleman likes to watch videos while he drives at night. He places his iPhone on his car's dashboard and watches the reflection on the windshield. He wears a headset while he watches, but usually with just one ear bud inserted "so that I can hear the traffic and whatnot." 'It's great — I can watch my stuff while I'm driving' (Book of Joe)

It seems that Fox claims it still owns copyrights which would prevent Warner Bros from releasing the movie. US District Court Judge Gary Feess decided that Fox had enough of a case that he's willing to hear things out. The geek in me hopes that it will be resolved quickly and the movie will hit theaters on time."Read more of ...
