Modding, or the customization/modification of existing products to fit a personal-purposed application, is more than super popular. But, like anything that requires great skill, it's easy to start, but tough to master.

All caps aside, we have a little place in our hearts for TUNEWEAR gear. Simple, easy to use, but sexy cool gear for iPod/iPhone/iPad/iWhatever Apple comes up with.
Take a trek on a Tokyo subway and you're bound to run into more than a few folks sportin' something TUNEWEAR someplace. Either in their ear, on their hip, or fashionably dangling off of some..... [ read more ] Dec 15
Ever notice how the simplest things go for some really silly prices these days?

We do stupid things every once in a while. It's true. I mean, we throw pizza reviews in with tech gear. I mean, we even take time out out to review the iRenew bracelet.
We did order one for Mord a while back. 6-8 weeks later, it finally arrived. We've reviewed and you've commented on the original article with a few, let's just call them "well-placed"..... [ read more ] Dec 10
I have nothing but compliments to Nintendo. Their repair and customer service process is stellar. But, it all comes with a price. An out of warranty Wii repair for noisy disc drive will cost you around $93 (includes taxes and shipping fees).
The experience is second to none. Nintendo communicates with you, albeit through robotic e-mails and messages,..... [ read more ] Nov 22
(This is the final post in our 3 part special about buying and negotiating for gear in Beijing)
So why do you "have" to do it? Why must you negotiate the deal when buying a simple USB thumb-drive in Beijing?
Well...to get a good deal of course!!! It's not just that it's saving a few bucks, but you do it to partly ensure you're not about to get ripped..... [ read more ]
