A game table that can preserve matrimony

Marriage can be so difficult. Just when you thought you've found eternal happiness, your spousal unit complains about every little thing. Take your latest purchase, for example: Who could object to a full-size arcade machine as the perfect living-room accessory?

Because Crave cares about you and your domicile happiness, we offer a solution from Surface Tension in its "Multi-Game Arcade Table." This cleverly constructed console (if it can be called that) lets you relive your misspent Space Invaders youth in an industrial design with a sleek metal finish suitable for the swankiest of lofts.

There is just one detail that shouldn't be overlooked, according to Uncrate: It costs $6,650. But that's nothing compared with the going rate of most California divorce lawyers these days.

Divorce lawyer....

If you spend $6,000 on something like this you're not going to save on a divorce lawyer. In fact if you spend that kind of money on a crappy video game player and ugly table you'll almost certainly get a call from your spouses attorney shortly thereafter.

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
