We use 100% of our brain! I guess what I’m trying to say is that you’ll never be smarter than you are now. Ok I’m joking, about the smarter part. Check out more info about our brain in the video below.

But times have changed, Princess Leah’s throne is up for grabs and the contenders are taking no prisoners.

 

1 Maggie Greene – The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead, Hottest Female Geek

If there was an actual Zombie Apocalypse, I hope to be stranded with Maggie. Not only is this southern belle easy on the eye, but she knows her way around a M-16 Rifle

2 Virginia “Pepper” Pots – Iron Man

Hottest Geeky

You know that saying : “A woman’s loyalty is tested when her man has nothing. A man’s loyalty is tested when he has everything”, thats Pepper for you – she’s a down ass chick.

3 Jeyne Stark

Hottest Female Geeky

There’s nothing sexier than saving lives on the battlefield, be it a friend or  a foe. Jeyne does this gracefully despite the fact that she’s always covered in blood and burdened with a dying soldiers last wish.

4 Lady Sybil Crawley

Hottest Female Geek

Another extremely loyal partner, unfortunately  she was taken from us too young. Damn you Tv Gods! She was a brave girl with so much poise, this character will definitely be missed.

5 Uhura

Hottest Female Geek

Planet hopping has never looked prettier, any man who can snag a galatic babe of this caliber is sure to live free and prosper.

 

Honorable Mention

Daenerys Targaryen – Game Of Thrones

Hottest Geek

Penny – The Big Bang Theory

Hottest Female Geek

Navigating an app store for the very best apps can be a daunting task, so we’ve picked the very best that will keep you wholesome with your smart phone.

1) Evernote
Productivity is no joking matter! Use evernote to keep you on top of your daily routine. Evernote can also be integrated with a variety of web apps which gives it a multitude of features.

2) Star Wars Trench Run
I’m not usually an avid gamer (beyond Scrabble) but when it involves an X-wing Fighter attacking the Death Star, I’m in. Star Wars: Trench Run is a fun game that’s easy to play and takes advantage of the iPhone 4′s new gyroscope. A cool feature of Star Wars: Trench Run is that you can also connect it with your computer using a wireless technology called Brass Monkey and then you can have the game playing on a PC or Mac while you use the iPhone as a controller. However, be prepared to install a plug-in on your computer and you might have to open ports on your firewall to make it work.

3) Spotify
Music on the go. Upgrade to premium to take any music anywhere there’s a connection for a mere $10 a month.

4) Dropbox

Dropbox is a great cloud service that automatically syncs a folder of files between multiple computers (Windows, Mac, or Linux). This app extends Dropbox to the iPhone and includes a built-in reader within the app for PDFs, image files, and Microsoft Office files.

5) Twitter
The official Twitter app (formerly known as Tweetie) is still the best Twitter client on iPhone (although Osfoora is catching up), and Twitter is an amazing instant-intelligence engine.

6) Audible

As much as I like the Kindle ebooks, I actually consume more books as audiobooks via Audible. In the past you could download these and sync them via iTunes. But Audible now has its own app, which lets you connect to your Audible library and download over the air, and even gives you a self-contained player optimized for audiobooks.

7) Minecraft Pocket Edition

The Pocket Edition of this extremely popular sandbox game has also reached 10 million downloads, a feat made even more impressive by the fact that the app is being sold for a premium price of $6.99. The original PC version of Minecraft hit 10 million sales back on April 4, but the Pocket Edition was released later, which means it’s hit this milestone total much faster.

8) Google Maps
Google maps is a great alternative to the Apple Map on ios devices. If you don’t want to find constantly lost or late due to the incompetence of the Apple map, I highly suggest downloading this.

Every once in a while it’s always good to see something unconventional – something that stands out. Atypical gadgets like these inspire me, inspire me to think different, inspire me to be different. After all a wise man once said it’s more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy.
