Why let your life continue without these FAIL/WIN stamps with which to proclaim all the items in your world either FAIL or WIN. This year's greatest meme hasn't died yet, and who says it ever will? Pull the Internet IRL and get stamping! (Thanks Jamie !)

TECH BUZZ: Just in time for Holiday shopping season, Amazon.com is reportedly getting hit by pirates using a Firefox addon that links away from the Amazon product and directs the user to a free illegal download of the same product. For the time being, the extension appears to have been shut down, but keep an eye out for more from these mischievous Holiday Geek Pirates.

TECH BUZZ: For ten bucks (shipping included), this site will send you something, although you won’t know what. Past gifts have included duct tape wallets, flying alarm clocks, and belly dance costumes. In a world where birthdays can often result in getting homemade soap and gift certificates to chain restaurants, why not reach into this virtual grab bag of awesomeness? (Thanks to Hurty Elbow for the tip!)
