There’s nothing a little tape won’t fix. Ever wondered how to fit in with the rest of your college buddies? Grab an apple and a big ole’ roll of tape and get to it. No one will be able to tell the difference, I promise. They still haven’t figured out your scale in an iPhone costume isn’t actually an iPhone, ...

After much, much, much adieu, the Playstation 3 has finally been “jailbroken,” the last major console to be cracked. Who was capable of such sheer genius hackery?� The same guy who first jailbroke the iPhone, Mr. George Hotz, better known on the web as Geohot. What’s even more impressive is that it took him merely five weeks to penetrate the ...

But apparently the magic happens once you gut the calculator’s innards (shame! blasphemy!) and insert, wait for it, a fully-functional Game Boy! Hooray. Rejoice. All is forgiven.

Brought to you by the letter F (for fucking freezing), Christmas Light Hero brings the enjoyment of sitting snugly on a warm couch playing Guitar Hero to the next logical destination, the great outdoors.

They make the best cookies, they create the coolest nativity scene, they put on the best light show, they just refuse to come in second.
