If you haven’t heard of Cricket Wireless, you should be sorry my friend, because you are missing an absolutely awesome deal by being oblivious to them. Cricket Wireless is a smaller and lesser known wireless carrier compared to the likes of AT&T but they also offer unlimited Internet access just like the big players in the industry. The only difference is, compared to AT&T for example, you don’t pay a small fortune for Cricket’s wireless data plan. Instead you pay $35. I’m not kidding. Admittedly slower than what you’ll get with much more expensive plans with other providers, Cricket offers truly unlimited service with no limits or secret caps on the traffic.

I’m pretty sure you remember the feeling of bringing home a shiny new laptop, and you would (for at least a month) do all you can to prevent it from getting any scratches or nicks. Here’s the Aluminum Laptop Briefcase for all you first timers out there. Keep your laptop safe in this hard shelled case and look stylish to boot. The Aluminum Laptop Briefcase looks like you filled it with diamonds and snuck it out of a bank vault, but in reality it has adjustable interior dividers to hold up to a 17″ laptop in comfort and style. Of course no metal briefcase would be complete without a pair of combination locks and a myriad of pockets to store documents, cables and accessories.

LG Electronics has just rolled out a new home appliance, notably the SteamWasher with Allergiene cycle, touting it to be the first washing machine that has been given certification for being asthma & allergy friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). Apparently, LG hopes that this new home appliance will be able to do its part when it comes to helping out consumers and patients with asthma and allergic diseases.

Only real-world use of it will tell with time,but for the moment let us check out additional details concerning this LG offering after the jump.
