Want to express your nut-hugging love for all things Apple, and more specifically the man behind the machine? Came across the Might Tees site– a year old apparel company based out of downtown Seattle (shirt 4 nerds by nerds). Can’t argue that one. You can wear the tee shirt in proud support of Steve Jobs being [...]

If you’re tired of the remote shuffle, whereby you grab one remote after the next to control your home electronics, you might want to step up to the Logitech Harmony One Universal remote control. Even though mid-level AV receivers come with their own programmable remotes, nothing beats the Harmony One, especially at this price point. [...]
