Think Geek is offering the WiFi Detector T-Shirt just in time for holiday shopping. If you have any tech geeks on your list, this shirt is almost a must buy. The WiFi Detector T-Shirt will find broadcasting WiFi signals and notify you by flashing indicator lights across your chest. Never be without a WiFi connection again. We took the shirt for a test drive recently to one of our favorite lunch destinations.

Recently, some representatives from Verizon stopped by the TechRepublic offices to gives us a sneak peak at several new phones the company is introducing during the holiday season. One of the phones we looked at was the LG Voyager. The Voyager is the flagship cell phone this holiday season with features like an external touch screen and lateral clamshell design. We should get a good look at the Verizon Wireless version of the LG Voyager before the end of the year. Until then, we took a few snapshots of this phone for a First Look Gallery.

One of my favorite things about the World of Warcraft is the way Blizzard (the company the created the online world) keeps things fresh with in-game world events. For what is known as Hallow’s End (Halloween out here in the real world) Blizzard has unleashed the Headless Horseman on an unsuspecting player-base. This demented demon terrorizes the small towns where players first start their characters. I took some snap shots of the event to use as motivation for Technologia. Perhaps the guild will accept the challenge of vanquishing the Headless Horseman and ridding the World of Warcraft of this menace — at least until 8:00 pm.
