It’s understandable, since practically everyone owns a freezer, which makes ice cubes. However, if you need a lot of ice in a short while, you’ll be disappointed. This is why the Ice Cube Maker Machine was created. Read more... Read more:Freeze

Belkin N1 Vision Wireless Router 2008-03-25 20:41:26
Obviously, today is Belkin day, because I can’t stop covering Belkin products like n52te. However, the N1 Vision isn’t a gaming mouse, but one of the coolest wireless routers that I have ever seen.
Most other wireless routers usually contain nothing more than a few blinking lights for a display. I don’t know about you, but I still have no idea what all those lights really mean, other than it doesn’t work when a few are on or off. However, the N1 Vision has a display to show a computer’s network broadband speed, computer bandwidth usage, and the status of connected devices.

How to use the rebate.. 2008-03-25 20:38:56 As you may have heard the Bush Administration said each and every one of us would now get a nice rebate.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China . If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs, if we purchase a computer it will all go to India, if we purchase fruit and vegetables it will all go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, if we purchase a good car it will all go to Japan, if we purchase useless crap it will all go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America.
The only way to keep that money here at home is to buy prostitutes and beer, since those are the only businesses still in the US.

MIU HDPC Smartphone could be the Smartest 2008-03-24 19:23:42
I have recently upgraded myself to smartphones. I have the Samsung SCH-i760 and my wife has the LG Voyager, but this HDPC from MIU could beat them all. After all, it has more features than you can shake a regular dumb-phone at.
For starters, it has a 4-inch, 800 x 400 touchscreen display which is revealed when opened, as well as a QWERTY thumbpad and mouse. The user also will find stereo speakers, a docking port, as well as two USBs. Read more... Read more:Smartphone

Get ready to have more space on your shelves at home, in your luggage when you travel, and on your bedside table too.” What do you think?

A cowboy told his grandson the secret to a long life.
He said, "You gotta sprinkle a little gunpowder on your oatmeal, see. If you do, you'll live to a nice ripe old age."
So the cowboy did this religiously every day, and sure enough, lived to the nice ripe old age of 96.
When he died he left behind 4 children, 8 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren
...and a 16 foot hole in the wall of the crematorium.Read more... Read more:Jokes

Microsoft Wants to Invade Your Home, and that is a Good Thing 2008-03-27 01:33:06
As much as I can’t stand that Extreme Makeover: Home Edition show, I wouldn’t mind if Ty and his buddies came to my house and whipped it into shape with a few sledgehammers and new furniture.
There is one thing that I never see the Extreme Makeover team do: connect all electronic devices in the household together, seamlessly. In other words, all the electronic devices (TV, PC, etc.) are all wired or shared together seamlessly in a true Digital Home Makeover.Read more... Read more:Invade

Dog Pack Attacks Alligator 2008-03-26 21:02:11 Dog Pack Attacks Gator In Louisiana. At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.
The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the 'apex predator', can still fall victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and 'survival of the pack mentality' bred into the canines.
See the remarkable photograph courtesy of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator.
Not for the squeamish...
