Uber Geeks Holiday Gift Guide

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-lust-after dept.

Johann Ramirez sent us Hardware Extreme's Christmas Wishlist which has tons of lust worthy objects that you have seen on Slashdot in the past, and several more that will make you feel strange things in your loins that might be unhealthy in the context of electronics. I want me a head mounted monitor and this wall mounted stereo santa!

    This month's Maximum PC has gear of the year, as well as a geek shopping guide. Cool stuff in there. I just want a 60 inch plasma monitor.

  2. My Problem... by proxeus · · Score: 1, Interesting

    My problem is that i am 13 and have a wish list totalling over $3000. for some reason people laugh at me when i tell them the price of what i want. any suggestions?

      I'm 22 and my wishlist totals exactly one million dollars. (It consists of one million dollars, actually.)

      But that's an absurd wishlist, and it's not the one I tell people about when they ask me for gift hints. That one's real short, and is full of things that cost five or ten bucks.

      The trick is to know your audience.

    LEGO!
    I turn 36 on xmas eve and am hoping my wife has caught onto my countless hints for Lego Mindstorms. :))

    [rant] If you have young kids don't rot their minds with [Nintento|Xbox|DC|etc], get them books and Lego. Things that will help their young minds grow and analyze, not things that fuel ADD :))

  4. No gifts for Mithra by I+am+Jack's+username · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I modified the gift exemption voucher saying that the people I give it to don't have to give me anything for xmas or my birthday. I still give them gifts, until they reciprocate with a similar voucher - only 1 person so far - and what I do now is buy stuff throughout the year when I see something I know she might appreciate, which means I'm buying her more presents now :)

    Your charity idea is worth considering tho.

  5. Is this site in bed with Sony? by Nonesuch · · Score: 5, Interesting
    There are plenty of cool geek gifts not made by Sony, so when 6 out of 13 items on their list are Sony products, you have to suspect something is up...

    I like some stuff Sony makes, but I wouldn't call their products "geek friendly".

    Hey guys sorry about the lag on the site. We were not expecting quite that much traffic. I had the bandwidth increased quite a bit so things should go much smoother now.

    You should be proud you almost took down all of www.realgn.com www.realshell.com and www.keystreams.com With a total of more than 30 sites and 9 servers. Pretty amazing stuff.
