Last weekend marked a milestone for the Android Market: 10 billion app downloads. Even with Apple’s App Store still reigning supreme overall, that number’s nothing to scoff at, so to commemorate the occasion, the marketplace crew have partnered with notable Android developers to offer a selection of apps for the bargain price of just 10 cents each, from now until December 16th. Heck, that’s not even a bargain, it’s a steal. sweet! let me in! →
Ah, the tangled iPhone cord. You’ve been a thorn in our side for some time now, but soon… soon you will be cast off as a mere relic of the past. In your place, we’d like to welcome Curly Cable, an ingenious creation from the awesome minds of Luca Mainini and Davide di Malta of Dev Design 2.0. sweet! let me in! →
Once upon a time, the boombox allowed us to share our music with the public ear. It was as iconic as white earbuds are today. But then the Walkman (and its successor, the iPod) came along, and music sharing was relegated to burning cassettes and CDs. Now, the only time we really listen to music together is in the car or at concerts. Surely, there are plenty of guys out there who look back fondly at the boombox’s heyday. Outdated but not dead, the boombox looks to make a return to the cultural fold with the release of the TDK 3 Speaker Boombox, a new spin on the original cultural icon. sweet! let me in! →

Beats Executive Headphones Are All Business
Say what you will about audio fidelity (audiophiles in the corner, I’m lookin’ at you), but the Dre Beats are hands down one of the most stylish headphones on the market today. Of course, most people realized that early on, and now you can rarely turn your head without seeing some dude with a pair of ‘em around his neck. Even if you tried, you wouldn’t miss them, what with their bright colors and flashy plastic bodies. The market saturation has reduced some of the cool factor, for sure, but with the forthcoming Beats Executive Headphones, you just might be able to capture some of that initial “wow” before everyone and their grandmas were rocking these. sweet! let me in! →
Somewhere along the way of fancy 18 megapixel DSLRs, pocket camcorders, and iPhones, we forgot how delightful it can be to snap a Polaroid. Luckily, the opportunity to relish the past has not yet disappeared, and the Polaroid Z340 Instant Digital Camera offers a hybrid body that’s equally modern and retro. sweet! let me in! →
It’s certainly not the sleekest iPad case on the market, but the iGuy Case from Speck is an eye-catching and fun way to spruce up your iPad and give it, well, some life. Or at least some arms and legs, anyway. Plus, your kids (or nephews and nieces) are sure to get a kick out of it. Same goes for that immature coworker who still laughs at inadvertent sexual innuendos during office meetings. sweet! let me in! →
Hair of the Dog is an ongoing series of weekly posts written for the express purpose of alleviating your hangover so you can start your week off right.

Karlie Kloss got her start as a model when she was discovered at a charity fashion show in St. Louis at the age of 13. That was six years ago. Let’s just say she’s come a long, long way since her tween days. Her recent shoot for the October issue of Allure is entitled “Best of Beauty” – supposedly a reference to the cosmetics, clothing, and jewelry she’s showcasing, though we’re more inclined to attach that title to Ms. Kloss herself. sweet! let me in! →
