This is a true disaster for Microsoft. They wanted so bad to be a serious contender in the smartphone market. Their newest attempt, the KIN, which has only been in stores since May 13th, is now being pulled from the shelves. But why? Some sources are reporting that as few as 500 KINs were sold in their entire tenure on ...

Well, I’m not a New Yorker, but I still think this ...

We do as we’re taught Great Leader Jobs. Maybe it only works properly for dudes with perfectly unblemished digits? God, I’m sorry I’m not perfect like one of your hand models. This is exactly what leads people to handarexia. Link

I’m not quite sure how my household would get along without this DVD Rewinder, a truly necessary gadget in any man serious about his media.
