• Crutchfield Savings: Save $25 off Purchases of $150
• AT&T Now Offering Free Wi-Fi Hot Spots for iPhone
  

From those I know who have the iPhone, they love the phone, they just aren’t too thrilled about their data plan. What’s the use for having a phone like this if you can’t browse the net on the network? Although it works great on Wi-Fi, you have to pay at most joints if you can’t pull it for free from someone’s house. I mean, if you do that sort of thing.

Well, things have just gotten a little bit better. AT&T is now offering their Wi-Fi hotspots for free as part of their plans for the iPhone. That includes all Barnes and Noble and Starbucks stores that AT&T is offered in. Not a bad deal. And once the 3G comes out, you’ll be set everywhere for a quick connection.

Do you remember when the Star Wars movies would come out and everyone would wait outside in long lines, dressed up in their favorite character from the movies?

With the new Batman movie coming out, The Dark Knight, wouldn’t it be nice to take it up another notch and roll up to the premiere in your own original Batmobile from the Tim Burton Batman movies?

Holy rusted metal! You mean we can!?! (Sorry, that was my poor attempt at a Robin quote).

Anyways, right now on eBay, this Batmobile owner is selling one of the five original cars from the movies. Despite the lack of doors (you’ll have to be limber enough to jump through the roof), it does come with a 5.7 liter engine hidden beneath that 20-feet frame.

Cape, Bat Cave and traits to becoming a vigilante of the night are not included.

If you’re sick of hunching over too far to stare at your laptop or you’re just in need of a little boost to your lap, working area, then this is the invention you’ve been looking for.

The Airboard by Ki-Seung Lee is a pump-action laptop surface that allows you to pump up the board to give your the perfect working angle. It’s not only limited to a laptop, but you can use it as a writing surface, reading or a delightful place to rest your hands.

And I think that I’m going to have to agree with the guys down at Yanko Design on their little tip. Please be careful when making an “adjustment” with the built-in pump. Especially near schools and playgrounds. Just a suggestion.
