Black Friday is only two days away and unless you started camping last night, don’t expect to scoop up any of those doorbuster items. Luckily, every hipster’s favorite computer company will be offering rare discounts on hardware and the like. Apple will offer deep discounts ranging from $100 to $250 on Macbooks, Macbook Pros, iMacs and other computers. The more ...

Christmas is just around the corner and I, being the nice Jewish boy that I am, have completed my shopping early. I picked up this I-MU Vibro Speaker for my girlfriend.
