Can’t decide what sort of a smartphone to buy? The WinDroid is the perfect phone for you indecisive folks out there.

The phone ships with the none-too-thrilling Android 1.6 OS (but can be upgraded to 2.1 – voiding its warranty, though). The Windows side of the house runs Windows Mobile…

Whoever made these NES pillowcases, bed sheet and comforter should make himself known. Preferably on Etsy, with a thousand more of these ready to be sold.

Awesome shield by the way. Perhaps a Paladin retires in this bed. It is a worthy prize for being Lawfully Good.…
