Thanksgiving can either be a great time of year with family and friends, or it can be a painfully boring time of year... with friends and family. But while you have some time off work and are spending the hours dwindling around the house with nothing to do, here is a selection of 15 techy things to keep you preoccupied for a few hours.

From trying out new products and services, to updating your technology and keeping track of your social networking activity -- as well as picking up some freebies along the way, these things will keep your mind busy for the next few hours as you buy, try and tinker with.

Stop making me click 50 times so you can get more page loads and maybe I'll read your articles.
These are not "techy" things... half of them are Apple iThing related and the other half is about social sites (Facebook, Google Music, etc).

Techy things would be things like tweak Windows for performance, upgrade RAM/HDD, install Linux, root your phone and things like that...
@lepoete73 I think if you buy this: http://www.technologyfazer.com/zte-smart-tab-v55-tablet.html smart tab then you will every time busy in using it.
@lepoete73 - agreed. The blurring of lines. It's like voting to put pop singers into the rock and roll hall of fame.

The iStuff and social stuff is "geek chic" at best...

Upgrade music libraries? Then switch to Zune. No need to upload music; for $10 a month, you have access to over 12 million songs. That's an UPgrade.
