The Hills Tech Quiz: Episode 20, "I Heidi Take Thee Spencer . . ."

geeksugar — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 04:00:05 -0800

I can hardly believe that last night's episode of The Hills was the season finale?! How will I ever occupy my Monday nights? At the very least, three things made me very happy; Justin finally confessed his love to Audrina, Heidi and Lauren were able to re-connect, and Spencer and Heidi decide to wait and have the wedding of their dreams. Not the tech-filled season finale I was hoping for, but still some fun gadget good cameos. Now let's see how well you were paying attention with my quiz and don't forget to head on over to CelebStyle to get last night's looks!

Though it was a very close race (LC won with 23 percent of the vote), this isn't Conrad's first time at the rodeo: she won the very same poll here in 2007.

geeksugar — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 10:00:30 -0700

Oh man! I hate to disappoint this week, but I think our Hills crew left their cell phones at home when they went to Cabo.

The trials and the tribulations of Hollywood's finest continued to escalate in this week's episode of The Hills. All eyes were on Audrina with her three-ring circus of men and poolside escapades.

geeksugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 10:25:15 -0700

Don't you just love episodes of The Hills when the girls shine and the guys are practically obsolete? So maybe Audrina is still dealing with the infamous Justin Bobby and Lauren just can't bear to mend a friendship with Heidi while she's still with Spencer, but all in all, there were some genuine girl talk moments. Just like the drama, the tech appearances also come in big waves, and last night's episode was no exception. How well were you paying attention? It's time to take the quiz to find out!

The Hills Tech Quiz: Episode Eight, "Don't Act Innocent . . ."

geeksugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 10:37:23 -0700

Wow, there was so much tech talk in this week's episode of The Hills that it reminded me how much text messaging can be such a help and such a hindrance! My advice for The Hills gang and for people in general is — don't text it if you don't want it shared amongst others! Wouldn't it be great if you could send self-destructing texts? If only Stephanie's messages to Doug didn't linger in his BlackBerry Curve for all to see, her life would be much easier. Ah well, little life tech lessons, right? Now, it's time for you to take the quiz to see how well you were paying attention!

geeksugar — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 10:00:20 -0700

The title of this week's Hills episode is a perfect way to sum up the drama that ensued when Lauren jetted off to Rome. The girls kept their agendas full and their Blackberrys busy as the plot thickened between Audrina, Heidi, Lo, Stephanie and Lauren.

geeksugar — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Wowzas! I can honestly say that this week's episode of The Hills was actually refreshing - and I'm not just saying that because of all of the tech talk and gadget cameos - the girls were actually sounding like their old selves again! Or maybe it's because Spencer was pretty silent this episode, or we didn't have to worry about Brody making girls cry like last Sunday night. Whatever it was, it was great!

geeksugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 11:00:33 -0700

Last night's episode of The Hills proved Lauren can make smart relationship choices (like knowing she and Doug are better off as friends), that Spencer probably won't stay mad at his sissy forever (so long as she keeps bringing him gifts and keeps Lauren far, far away), and that there are plenty of hotties and adventures in NYC for Whitney.

Two yays! One yay for the return of Fall TV shows (my TiVo is no longer on Summer vacay) and second yay for season four of The Hills! Did you watch the season premiere last night? Looks like the drama will never die down! I won't totally spoil it in case you missed all the action and are going to catch a rerun this week, but I will say this — there weren't a whole lot of new tech treats to stare at, so if you need to brush up on your Hills cell phone and tech knowledge to gear up for this Summer, you can check it all out here!

LC: Both actually, mostly PC but I like Macs to edit photos or art.

PS: Do you ever Google your dates?

geeksugar — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 13:09:12 -0700

Since the season finale of The Hills, I've seriously been in Audrina, Lauren, and Heidi drama withdrawal.

Well LC is back on TV, teaming up with AT&T yet again for a cheeky commercial for the LG Shine. As you'll see from the commercial below, the sleek Shine is ideal for checking your makeup. . . and for checking out girls.

Do You Have Any "Talking on the Phone" Habits?

geeksugar — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 08:00:58 -0700

On Monday night's episode of The Hills, I couldn't help but notice that Lauren always has her fingers in her mouth when on the phone! Looks more like nail biting than anything else. . . maybe it helps her focus or something?! Camera shy?! I've definitely become more ADD in my later years while talking on the phone and can't say I have a "phone habit" since I'm usually pre-occupied with getting off the phone. Although my mom can attest to the fact that I can be overheard washing dishes on Sunday mornings while chatting with her — sorry mom! What about you?

LC Admits She Isn't a Gamer

geeksugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 14:02:06 -0800

Lauren Conrad may be your favorite phone obsessed celebrity of 2007, but she certainly isn't an avid gamer-chick. At a recent video game event in LA, LC revealed her and sidekick Audrina's gaming style by saying, "We're not gamers, but we like playing games." I get the feeling that Lauren is talking about a whole different kind of game-playing!

Greg Grunberg from Heroes was also asked about his gaming habits and admitted that he loves playing video games and is currently obsessed with Halo 3. To see what other games the stars are loving right now, check out the video below!

As upbeat and adventurous as it was, there was hardly any tech talk or appearances. If you were paying attention, this short and sweet tech quiz should be a breeze.

geeksugar — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 04:00:38 -0700

This week's episode of The Hills was a breath of fresh air compared to the last few episodes. Not only was there zero mention of Justin Bobby, but it felt like old times again as LC got giddy with her BlackBerry, turning text messaging into a "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" party. With new boys and new tech toys, No More Mr. Nice Guy was an overall fun, low drama episode. Now let's see if you were paying attention.

What Gadget Do You Use to Waste Time?

You know when you are stuck on a bus, waiting in line, sitting in a dentist's office or just plain bored? Do you whip out your cell phone or gaming device for distraction? Or maybe you are like LC, who turns to her iPod for music and videos. Whatever the situation, I'm wondering what gadgets people tend to use when they need to kill a few minutes. Depending how much time I need to waste, I usually start on my BlackBerry, sending texts and returning emails and then I move on to my iPhone to watch YouTube videos. I guess you could say it's the business then pleasure method of passing time. What about you? What do you use? Photo courtesy of MTV

geeksugar — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 03:00:54 -0700

For those of you who happened to miss it, no need to worry because last night's episode of The Hills was a recap show... you know the one where they summarize all episodes to build anticipation for next week's episode? So while we take a commercial break from our regular "Hills" broadcast, let's do a quick gadget-gear recap to make sure we are on top of our tech knowledge thus far. I'm sure you've all been paying close attention to the glamorous gadgetry this season, especially with our weekly tech quizzes, but if you're just tuning in, here are a few favorites so far.Surprisingly, we've learned that Spencer is quite the Apple fan, spending days on his MacBook (does he even have a job?) and nights on his iPhone. Audrina mixed it up this season with her lovely white Pearl, which she used to keep in touch with her on-again, off-again musician boyfriend Justin Bobby. And who can forget about LC who is always rockin' the BlackBerry Curve. Hope to see you back next week for the return of "The Hills Tech Quiz"!
