While some of us just crack a couple of eggs into a pan and scramble them with a fork, I was always taught that I'd get lighter and fluffier scrambled eggs if I whisked them in a bowl before I started cooking. But that means more mess: more dishes to wash. And if I have help making breakfast, I'm going to need to wipe down the counters, as well. The Shake Me Egg Shaker offers a good alternative, especially if you've got kids helping in the kitchen. Crack up to three eggs into it, put on the … Read more

Salt and pepper are both indispensable spices. They sit by our side at practically every meal. Some people use a little, some people use a lot. Having the power over your own seasoning practically guarantees an enjoyable meal. From course to fine, the grind of our favorite spices makes all the difference in the world. Giving up on pre-filled containers of already ground pepper is probably the easiest way to increase your taste enjoyment.

This salt and pepper shaker may not be the kind of thing you'd keep on your dinner table during a fancy dinner, but they'd certainly make a good gag gift.

The Moustache Salt and Pepper shaker are designed to fit together to form a perfectly twirled moustache. The halves are distinguished from one another by differing numbers of holes, and each is made from a solid piece of walnut. Which spice you decide to put into the half with extra holes is up to you: they come to you empty.

We get taken to task today for our segues, which, we admit, can be quite forced sometimes. So, we show some examples of the good and the bad. We also have a Cooley rant about the new Segway minicar from a few weeks ago. And I suggest we go clubbing with baby seals, and Cooley and Natali threaten to kill me.

Updated at 3:00 p.m. PT with word from Sikalosoft.

Apple issued a statement Thursday apologizing for allowing the Baby Shaker application onto the App Store.

Just hours before the App Store offers up its 1 billionth download, Apple was forced to acknowledge that perhaps the most notorious iPhone application ever constructed was "deeply offensive" and a "mistake." Baby Shaker appeared on the App Store Monday, and was pulled Wednesday after a media frenzy grew following the discovery of the application by the founder of a shaken baby syndrome foundation.

The application still shows up in the App Store search, but upon clicking on the title, an error message appears. Baby Shaker, a game in which the user is invited to silence a baby's cries by violently shaking an iPhone, appeared on the App Store Monday despite Apple's policy of banning "offensive" iPhone applications.

Company representatives have still not responded to inquires about how Baby Shaker made it into the App Store in the first place. In the past, … Read more

Updated 1:25 p.m.: Apple has pulled Baby Shaker from the App Store.

If you needed any further proof that Apple's App Store approval process is horrifyingly out of whack, consider one of the latest additions to the App Store: Baby Shaker.

A company called Sikalosoft is currently selling a $0.99 iPhone application called Baby Shaker, as of Monday. The object of Baby Shaker is to stop the incessant crying of an infant pictured on screen by violently shaking the iPhone, at which point two red "x" marks appear over the baby's eyes. "… Read more

My table may not be as long as those formal tables always shown in movies, but passing the salt can still be a bit of a problem when I have my hands full. Menu's new salt and pepper shakers can still make it across the table, whether or not I'm available to pass them, though.

The Boogie Woogie Salt and Pepper Shakers just need a little push to roll across your table. These shakers are made from anodized aluminum and have synthetic wheels: white for salt and black for pepper. The combination of the aluminum and the solid … Read more
