For your early-week procrastination habit: Top five Monday tech deals


Originally priced at $300 the Logitech Revue with Google TV is now a much, much, much more manageable $100. The Revue sits in between your cable box in your TV and acts as a connected, layered interface allowing you to browse the web, watch web video, and search for TV shows. Google TV also features built-in apps such as Netflix, NBA.TV, Pandora and Twitter.

ARE YOU READY TO RAWK OUT WITH YOUR THUMBS OUT?!! Guitar Hero 5 for Android has a 2 out of 5 average rating on Amazon, with many review stating that it's not worth $8. Howsabout free?

That oughtta shut people up. Free, today only—and still bringing in some low reviews. Hey, free is free.

This Acoustic Research 18-device touchscreen universal remote sells for $70+ elsewhere but Woot.com is selling it for $35, today only.

Dude, who has 18 remote-controlled devices? I would actually love to housesit for you, free of charge. I assume you have "good" beer in your fridge and being able to use one of your many cars would be nice, but other than that I'm pretty low-maintenance. Sit me in front of a combination of 18 TVs, DVD players and whatever the hell else this thing controls and I'm good.

Maybe I don't want to know how you destroyed your Sprint phone by accident while you still have a year and a half left on your contract. You dropped it in the toilet, didn't you? What possessed you to carry on a conversation with someone while you were doing that? Let's chalk this up to a life lesson.

So now your options are: shell out big bucks for a new phone (like, over $500 in most cases) or rock some dumpy flip phone for the next 18 months. Or you could snag this very-capable and highly-rated HTC EVO 4G today for $180. It's "pre-owned" but I can (almost) guarantee that it hasn't been in a toilet.

If you're like me, you love working out all the ti—I'm sorry I can't do this. I hate it. Maybe you love working out. I find it to be a necessary evil that manages to skew unnecessary more often than not. But if "sweating" and "panting" aren't enough biofeedback for you to determine that you're engaged in a killer workout, this newfangled Garmin GPS watch is $50 off at Amazon, today only.

It includes a heart rate monitor, GPS chip, and it wirelessly synchronizes your workout data with your computer when you walk past it. I can only imagine my own results being something like, "Man, you sure did a lot of typing today. All that typing burned tens of calories. Tens!"
