In the last couple of days, Technabob has rolled out a brand new look for those of you visiting the site from your iPhone or iPod Touch. The new design lets you quickly browse the top stories on the site, and when you click through to a story, you’ll see a special version that’s much easier to read on the small screen…

[UPDATE 8/12/2008: The contest is now over. You can check out the answers and winners here].
How’d you like to win a really cool modern watch from Tokyoflash? Well, if you can tell time, you could win a free watch! Read on, and learn how…

The girls of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) are undoubtedly some of the dopest chicks you’ll ever encounter. Not only do they do they possess mad algebraic skillz and could probably kick your ass in World of Warcraft, they have the only finest taste in tech blogs…

Everything is back up and running, but there was a little nervewracking to say the least.
Regular posting should resume later tonight. Thanks for your patience.

So I was oh so thrilled when I heard a world-renown urban artist has immortalized the same robo-dude using a bunch of Rubik’s Cubes…
