Diamonds? Who Cares? Give Women Gadgets

from the good-to-know... dept

Last year we posted the results of a study in the UK saying that women there were big fans of gadgets as gifts. A new study in the US says that chicks dig gadgets here, as well. Forget such old fashioned notions as flowers, chocolates and diamond rings. Instead go for Danger Sidekicks, digital cameras, and an HDTV.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Avon/Atari

    Just before reading this item I was on Slashdot (slow work day), where the latest posting is about a 10-in-1 Atari system built in the form factor of the old Atari joysticks.

    No console required, and it plays Adventure, Real Sports Volleyball, Gravitar, Video Olympics, Circus Atari, Yar's Revenge, Asteroids, Centipede, Breakout, and Missile Command.

    This is actually relevant, as the only place that the poster was able to find this item for sale was on the Avon site. Rather amusing to see a retro gaming toy and "Hydrofirming Night Cream" sold on the same page...

      That is awesome. I say this as someone who spent 12 years with an Atari 800. I never recovered. To this day I still don't get those new console gaming controllers. Give me a standard joystick any day and let me play... This has to go on the wishlist, though...

      Anyway, more to the point... Avon? I wonder how many they're selling.

        Atari had the best game imput devices. Remember the callous on your hand where the corner of the joystick dug into your palm? I've got the Activision CD's for the Playstation, but Kamboom just isn't the same without a paddle wheel.
