eBay is what geeky dreams are made of. Surfing through the site, one can find a treasure trove of oddities and awesomeness. Like that one time where I found Harrison Ford’s used panties. Mmm, Han Solo juice. Surf a little further and you’ll find these gaming-inspired My Little Pony dolls, including Gears of War, Zelda and even Iron Man ponies. ...

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. While I don’t doubt it will, whoever ends up winning must not be affected by the current economic crisis. You can buy it now for a mere $1016.72, which is pennies for people like Bill ...

Yes, you read that correctly. I’m talking about using PayPal to scam a scammer, not vice versa. Surely you’ve clicked an ad that stated you could receive a free iPod/TV/PS3/Xbox 360/Wii, etc. When you visit these websites, you usually have to sign up for online offers with your credit card in order to claim your prize. GearDiary has explained how ...

Nike is no stranger to designing lightweight footwear. An old pair of Air Mercurial Vapor IVs I used to own were the lightest shoes I had ever touched on this planet. Now Nike is telling me that I’m an idiot and that these $400 Mercurial Vapor SL (“Super Lite”) shoes are the next generation of Nike. Designed for soccer, these ...
