Do you want to be the Prince of Ties? It’s kind of like being the Prince of Tides, except that you play a lot of Tetris. You also have to play other classic games like Space Invaders, Pong or Asteroids, but that sure beats work that a real prince would do. Oh, and you’ll have to wear a tie to ...

Recession? What recession? This 24-karat gold iPhone 3G has made its way onto the auction site eBay in hopes that it’ll draw a high bid.

We love clocks. Homer Simpson loves Duff Beer. Clearly, this is a match made in Heaven Springfield. Hang up this relatively cheap ($21) Simpsons wall clock and watch as Homer’s eyes follow the bottle of Duff beer floating on the end of the second hand. I’m sure the novelty won’t wear off anytime soon, but always remember: Private Eyes. They’re ...

Very impressive, considering that my current fucking lightbulbs tend to burn out after three months. Researchers say the bulb could also help lower electricity ...
