Recently, I was teased for bringing a 256MB SD card to a meeting. So what? At least it wasn’t a floppy disk. Since floppies are now considered antiques, and memory cards with limited storage are following close behind, there are all sorts of retro products created in memoir of poor old floppy. So far, we’ve found the Recycled Floppy Disk Notebook and Floppy Disk Shaped [...]

Go old school with your smartphones by hooking it up with the Retro Phone Handset. If you prefer the whole package (and by that, we mean an entire vintage telephone handset for your phone), then maybe the iPhone Cordless Handset will be more your style. But if you want just the handset, well then, there’s no [...]

At GeekAlerts we love retro arcade gaming, as well as cool home decor. That’s why we love these brand-new Blik Pac-Man Wall Decals.
