      Brogurt, Manterest, and Meggings: What's Next in Manvertising?

      Yogurt, Pinterest and leggings are some of the girliest things ever, right? Now they have their manquivalents in meggings, Manteresting, and a brogurt called Powerful.

      Honestly, I'm pretty sure meggings are just an enormous prank being pulled on us by GQ, and on April 1 they'll be all OHMYGAH I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR IT. In the mean time, I don't really believe that meggings exist outside of the world of tumblr blogs, running stores, and stunt journalism.

      More exciting is the man-yogurt known as Powerful. Wait, "man-yogurt" sounds kinda gross. It's yogurt for men. And it's totally manly, unlike that girly regular yogurt you've been eating, with the unicorns and the glitter and the little paper umbrellas.

      First of all, Powerful comes in a manly package. It's black and red, with a bull logo.

      Also, Powerful is a "man-sized" eight ounces instead of a paltry 6 ounces like girly yogurt. Because nothing satisfies a manly-m

      By Sarah Aires

      Whoops!

      There's no feeling quite like the horror that ensues when you drop your iPad in a sink full of water, or your phone flies off a table screen-first onto a hardwood floor. But are you destined to spend hundreds on repairing or replacing the device? Fortunately, no. There are plenty of ways to solve common technology blunders cheaply and easily. Check out what to do when there's an issue with your digital camera, eReader and more-and the two fixes you shouldn't try at home. Photo by Thinkstock

      The Problem: "My camera won't turn on."
      The Fix:
      This common camera conundrum is easily fixable, says Chris MacAskill, co-founder and president of SmugMug, an online photo sharing and storage site. "It's likely a battery issue. Make sure it's charged and properly inserted and the battery door is closed. Many cameras design the battery and compartment to allow the battery to be inserted only in the correct way, but check the alignment anyway."

    • Stock up on stainless steel flatware

      Spring is officially here (thank goodness!) so you can expect to see lots of winter styles moving out to make way for fresh spring products and colors. Here, three product picks if you're looking to get a bargain this month!

      1. Stainless Steel Flatware: Retailers are moving utensils out this month to make way for new styles. To find the best bets for your table:

      • Look on packaging or pieces themselves for an "18/10" marking - 18 percent chromium and 10 percent nickel. Chromium gives flatware strength and keeps it from rusting, while nickel helps it resist acids and gives it a silver-like look.
      • There should be no burrs or rough spots between the fork tines - pinch at the space and run your fingertips down it to check.
      • Good knives are forged as one piece. The blade should be finely serrated, and have a little "give" so it won't break when cutting hard foods - grasp it at either end and flex to check for slight bendability.
