If you pre-ordered a Nintendo Switch game console, good on you. Though unless you’re having it shipped to your front doorstep, you’ll will still have to stand in line to get one. If you didn’t pre-order, but want to get your mitts on a Switch you may be able to on launch day.

The Acer Iconia Android tablet first reared its thin little head back in January during CES. The tablet looks promising, and if you have been waiting for it to hit stores you can now pick one up.

When Apple launches a new product, it really likes to be able to say millions sold or something similar once the thing has been out a few weeks. If you mess with Apple’s brag, you will get smacked down.

I don’t like to buy stuff online. Not because I don’t trust online sellers or anything, I just don’t like to wait for stuff to arrive. I want to walk in a store, and walk out with whatever it is I want.

Geeks often like to make fashion statements that show off just how geeky they are. This is the reason for things like the Millenterprise Falcon mashup shirt that gives you +10 geek cred. Another way to show that you are geek is to wear that small 6G iPod nano as a watch.

A Best Buy employee recently posted screenshots of what he claims is part of a training program about Windows 7. The screenshots show some Windows vs. Linux comparisons. You probably know where this is going. The employee is overclock.net

Best Buy’s Insignia is the world’s first portable HD radio, allowing users to enjoy high quality digital FM radio on the go. Meh. Who am I kidding? Best Buy is selling it for $50 (USD)! You can buy an mp3 player with a built-in FM tuner for that price.
