Granted, the $1,799 starting figure for the Firebird 802 isn’t totally unexpected — after [...]

Think you’re having a rough day? Did you get a placard with instructions to the exit rather than a bonus check this week? We know, life’s a little rough right now, but how on Earth can you look at the bunch pictured above and not crack at least a smidgen of a grin? Based on [...]

We’ve seen some goofy looking PS3 accessories — including Sony’s recent Wireless Keypad for the PS3 — but this one looks like a little bit of crazy mixed with a dab of mediocrity.
