I’m not a tea drinker, Mountain Dew is my beverage of choice. However, I do live with a couple of people who love them some tea. Seriously, I think there’s an entire cabinet just dedicated to the stuff.

We already featured Metin Seven’s Steve Jobs bust. Here’s his take on Apple’s other Steve: Who wouldn’t be cheered up by that pixelated smile? I personally would rather have this than Jobs’ scowling mug. Woz’ smile and chubby face remind me of those smiling Buddha statues.

Have you ever tried to dunk an Oreo in a glass of milk, only to have the cookie break into a bunch of pieces, leaving a soggy mush in the bottom of the glass. Yep, thought so.

…and when I say original Apple-1, I mean it. Only about 200 of the first-gen Apple computer were ever built, and they have become extremely difficult to come by, with an estimated 50 left in circulation around the world.

I can officially say that in the 4+ years and 6675+ posts that we’ve had on Technabob, that we’ve written articles about condoms exactly twice. Now, we’ve gone and done it thrice. And one of the previous times was about a Darth Vader condom too.

I know we have all heard the phrase “on like Donkey Kong” uttered on more than occasion. This is one of those phrases that can mean all sorts of different things depending on the situation. I’ll use it in a sentence for you, here it go.

Yep, somebody is gonna get fired over this. Anytime you combine explosives and something that stands 275-feet in the air, you get my attention. If you have never been to see a building get demolished by explosives, you are missing some fun.

My 6-year-old daughter plays more games on my iPhone and iPad than I do. If my iPad is missing, I can generally find her laid out in the floor somewhere playing Angry Birds. She calls it “the slingshot game” more often than not.

Luxury electronics manufacturer Bang & Olufsen are entering the iPod/iPhone accessory market with the BeoSound 8, which is set to take the world by storm. Well, honestly, it’s just another iPod dock. At least this one looks cool.

There are a million apps out there, but none of the do exactly what you want. Take a look at these ideas from College Humor and tell us what you think. All in all, the ex-girlfriend finder looks pretty promising!

Some days I think I’m the only person that just doesn’t get Twitter. I guess it’s always just seemed like Facebook without most of the features. Perhaps that’s really the point for some people. Either way, my Twitter account sits unused for the most part.

We featured this add-on way back in July, and now it’s finally reached American shores, thanks to Sprint. Now under the ZTE brand, the Peel will be available through Sprint via a $30 (USD) a month, 1GB data plan.

This wasn’t on the Pac-Man dossier: “How They Died” by Aled “fatheed” Lewis – now up for voting as a T-shirt design on Threadless.

I suppose if you’re a nurse, the idea of having to wash various and sundry body parts for patients is one of the less pleasant parts of the job. Sure, it’s slightly above changing bedpans or shaving privates, but it’s still a little weird, I’m sure.

As a kid, any time we could buy fireworks was a great time of year. I once lobbied to move to Florida where you could buy fireworks year round, but my parents never agreed. I used to tie bottle rockets to just about anything that would sit still long enough.

Not even 24 hours ago, we featured this cheap iPad bluetooth keyboard case from EFO. Now, the guys over at ThinkGeek are offering a similar keyboard case for just a few dollars more.
