Tech Gifts for the Holidays

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tis-the-season-to-blah-blah-blah dept.

MrCopilot pointed out that every year there are a slew of gadgets geeks desire for Christmas, and approximately 7 million web pages dedicated to compiling lists of them. So why shouldn't we join in the fun. Here are stories from Dallas News, CBS News, Seattle Times, E Media Wire, Detroit News and MSNBC. So lets take a crack at your own list. There's still another day or two where things could conceivably be shipped on time for the holidays. I highly recommend Rock Band, although my aching hands might disagree.

    Agreed. How is Rock Band a geek gift?

    A real geek gift would be a DIY electric guitar kit, not some lame Guitar Hero crap.

  3. WTF? The Tony Blair Squirrel! by nickos · · Score: 0, Troll
    From the Dallas Morning News link:

    I never thought I'd be typing the phrase Tony Blair Squirrel.

    In fact, I'm going to shorten it to TBS.

    The TBS is a limited-edition computer bag from Crumpler for 13-inch to 15-inch laptops. It commemorates the recent retirement of Tony Blair as British prime minister.
    Who on earth would want a bag that commemorates that creep? Aah, I see the newspaper's from Texas...
