Vices of the week: DVICE shows its love
Were you fortunate enough to catch the big game? No, not the Super Bowl — though we've got 10 of the best tech commercials in Super Bowl history — I mean DVICE's awesomely gadgety sweepstakes giveaway! We gave five lucky winners anything from a Nintendo Wii to an Apple iPhone, and took a look at what you thought about 30 of the hottest gadgets. Also, be sure to check out Shift, where couch potato S.E. Kramer tuned into Apple TV to find out what it does, who it's for and where it falls short.

Even after you were slammed in comments for posting the pseudo-medicine detox bath scam, you're still plugging the post? No self-respect, guys.

@Murray: Maybe we were too subtle, but we were definitely skeptical of the "detox bath scam" in our writeup when we said, "And presumably [it will] get rid of that heavy-wallet problem." And the quotation marks used in the above post are being used for sarcasm, not quite the same thing as direct citation. We weren't plugging the "detoxifying unit" (those sarcastic quotes again) so much as having some good-old gross-out fun with it, and letting readers like yourself draw your own conclusions.
Thanks for reading.
