An eagerly anticipated package that never seems to come. Frustrating! You track it online, you wait diligently at home—and yet, all you get is a HEY SORRY WE MISSED YA notice. So that's how they pull it off.

Funny that this video came out the same day I renewed my apartment lease. Indeed, the rent is still too damn high. And while Jimmy McMillan lost the New York governor election, we should make him #1 in the charts. Now.

The first iPod Nano watch, designed for Apple's new watch-sized iPod Nano, was basically just a nylon strap. Pretty unimaginative. These new funky-color silicone bands from Hex actually make Apple's diminutive iPod look like a not-entirely-ridiculous timepiece.

The perils of hand-held technology obsession are many: Shark attacks, child neglect, the old oops-I-dropped-my-phone-into-the-urinal routine.

You can quit wondering and watch this video from Gregory Cortez. Colored paper and a few simple props give this video a delightful "home-made" feel. If only Rovio would release a paper version of the game, eh? [@GregoryCortez via TechCrunch]
Well, the first moron that we've heard of. He's not really a moron, he's Phil Villarreal, author and critic. And he's out a pricey television. You are the controller? No Phil, you are the guy with the broken TV.
