Fingertip Mini USB Trackball

Posted by Jim as Accessories

It's a little helpful gadget to have, a USB trackball has its value in tight areas where the table-top maybe too size-restrictive or totally prohibitive. While I'd imagine the trackpad would have been naturally your rescue device it just may not work in specific situation... like when you have your laptop on your lap and the trackpad is just too near your belly. Picture it now? Shanghai-based computer peripheral maker Evergreen sells this at about US$20. Notice that it comes equipped (as with the notebook mini mouse) with a retractable cable. Look closely and you'd see that the track ball is almost as small as a Blackberry ...

iPhone Stylus and Touchscreen Cleaning Kit

Posted by Jim as Accessories

Ah! Finally, something to give your touchscreen gadgets a decent rub. While I'm not a big fan of those "smudge-prone creatures" I do care about friends who seem to enjoy using them. The iPhone Stylus and Touchscreen Cleaning Kit seems to be one of those sensible ideas to keep your stuff in pristine shape. Cleaning them has never been this easy : Simply pop off this ultra sleek doodah’s cap to reveal a sponge tip that soaks up special cleaning fluid from an internal (refillable) reservoir. Then rub the tip over your gizmo to ‘wet clean’ its surface. Finally give it a buff using the included micro-fibre carry-pouch. Genius. ...

ThumbTacks™

Posted by Jim as Accessories, Apple

This is a little odd now, is it? I could imagine people taking another look at you... some would probably sigh in disbelief at how you're punishing your iPod with a thumbtack. Oh well, it is kind of weird. ThumbTack is a mini microphone designed for the Nano 4G or Touch 2G. Designed by a company called SwitchEasy, this iPod mic takes the shape of a familiar everyday object, a common thumbtack. Check out their website and you'd see it available in several colors (white, black & red). You wouldn't believe the US$13 price tag for a ThumbTack! Isn't this something worthwhile to plug into your ...

Laptop yells S.O.S.

Posted by Jim as Software

This is perhaps one of the sensible solutions out there to avoid laptop theft. Sure.. the usual laptop chain would at times suffice, but there are clever thieves who would bring industrial wire cutters to clip away. What is there to do then when you're yards or miles away from your precious machine? A company called "Front Door" has developed a "nuisance" application called "Retreiver" for laptop owners. It works by emitting an irritating alarm with phrases like "help I'm a stolen laptop" or "help I was stolen, bring me back to my owner". This occurs every 30 minutes, just enough time interval to prevent ...
