Non-Geeky Gifts for Tech Geeks

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the when-you-absolutely-have-to-serve-hockey-puck-smoothie dept.

An anonymous reader writes "FiringSquad.com has just put out another holiday gift guide. They've gathered together, along with the usual video cards and whatnot, several non-techie toys with a techie slant. With the exception of an mp3 and a digital camera, everything else they recommend is stuff I haven't seen on any list before. They have things ranging from $10 to $7500. My favorite has to be the Blendtec blender. 2 horsepower motor. Turns hockey pucks into mulch."

    Great, another web-site that requires you to enable cookies in order to get beyond the advertising. Yet not a word of warning as to all the ways enabling cookies allows anti-consumer 'services' like doubleclick to track your every move and build up all kinds of privacy invasive databases.

    Ordinarily, I would just use a smart cookie manager like CookieSafe but this is suppossed to be a place I can send my non-geek friends to -- people who can't go all ubergeek and know the ins and outs of cookie abuse and cookie counter-measures.
