Microwave does away with annoying BEEPING, plays your favorite songs via USB port instead - (Video)
This is what makes people millionaires — ideas like this. You get something that is so everyday and ordinary, like the beeping alarm off a microwave, replace it with enjoyable tunes via a USB port, and just like that your bank account is now earning 7 digit figures. Seriously, we gotta give the BGH Quick Chef Music Case Microwave designers props on this historic concept.

Windows Phone OS created in HTML5, allows you to try before you buy
We all know how the retail world works when it comes to “trying out” a new smartphone. You want to see how it feels, and how it works, but more importantly the OS that runs on-top of it, but more than likely all you’ll get is a dumb plastic model with a fake screen, and if you’re lucky, you may have a select working model to play with in-store. Microsoft decided to throw caution to the wind and re-create their Windows Phone OS in HTML5 for people to try out before they buy.

This tiny printer is wonderful, but craps paper all over your house - (Video)
When it comes to reading my morning news, social updates or reminders, all of those things are available on my smartphone. For years I have been doing this, but something still feels “right” about using paper, and pinning reminders by your desk. It feels good to touch the things that are important, and have physical copies instantly accessible. I wish I had this tiny little printer to print out things that matter to me, but it doesn’t seem reasonable. This is a sign that paper copies of things are beginning to become a luxury, and much like vinyl records are today, paper will be tomorrow.

Solare Flex desk lamp by Cielux review
Desk lamps are a dime dozen, just go to Walmart or your nearest department store and you’ll find a ton of varieties for all kinds of purposes. But finding that right one for your office space or even pc gaming needs can prove a tiring excursion. Getting work done, whether checking email or taking down dragons in Skyrim, requires your eyes to be fatigue free — something that can be remedied with the proper lighting. So what exactly can fill that void? This is where we found ourselves in the ultimate search that eventually led us to the Solare Flex by Cielux. — Our full review after the break!

Siri on iPhone 4s vs TellMe on Windows Phone -Video
Siri on iPhone 4s vs TellMe on Windows Phone -Video
When Siri arrived on the iPhone, the world sort of stood still for a bit, wondering if it would actually perform as advertised. I mean, the service that Apple bought (Siri) was pretty breathtaking to begin with, and on the iPhone it’s even better. TellMe is Windows Phone’s version of Siri, which was available way before Apple even announced Siri — you think Microsoft would have used that time to make it work properly.

Okay Geek's Black Friday Guide 2011
By now you’ve probably already got a map drawn up with a war strategy on how to flank the competing crowds of people also seeking the best deals on tech and games. And while we did get a late start here at Okay Geek compared to year’s past, we decided to go in a different direction in how we composed 2011’s black friday guide. Instead of doing a full, comprehensive list of everything you’ll find at every store, we decided to pick our top 3 best deals from each of the major tech categories sought for during this annual ritual; i.e. tv’s, laptops, hard drives. We went this route because it’s all about getting the stuff you really need and where to get it, right? — More after the break!

Samsung's Galaxy S II commercial gives Apple a sting but still makes us laugh - Video
Samsung's Galaxy S II commercial gives Apple a sting but still makes us laugh - Video
“I can’t get a Samsung, I’m creative” says the neck-beard touting, iPhone tapping Yuppie. “Dude, you’re a barista…” — That’s got to be one of the greatest lines in commercial history. Don’t get us wrong, this commercial is a clear stab at Apple fans, but as the owners of many Apple products we find this absolutely awesome and refreshingly hilarious.
