Google has outdone itself again with this year’s April Fools joke: Google Maps for the original Nintendo Entertainment System! In addition to a funny video spot advertising the great features and dial-up modem, you can map and Street View your way to 8-bit glory.

Diamond Rio: My First MP3 Player
I remember it like it was yesterday, only 13 years ago yesterday to be exact. I walked into a Best Buy and slapped down $200 for the hottest music device around: an MP3 player. At 14 I thought I was a boss. This thing could hold over an hour of music and play on a [...]

The reception was awesome, and although I didn’t have it in my hands long, everything seemed just right and worked great. It was protected by a [...]
I Want A Flamethrower!

That is to say as long as you don’t toast other things besides bad guys in your 20-foot stream of burning hot destruction. What’s interesting about this device is [...]
