This is really cool looking, but I really wonder if it's actually usable. Then there's the price, $64. Little much for a mouse. Here's the details:
- Officially licensed product
- Accurate 800 dpi or 1600 dpi optical mouse
- 2.4 GHz Auto sync mini receiver (mouse has built-in storage for receiver)
- Desktop/laptop PC or Mac with USB port
- MS Windows 98/2000/ME/XP and Vista
- LED headlights with on/off switch
- Low battery indicator
- Unique 17 digit VIN number
- 1 year limited warranty
You can grab one at the Neatoshop site HERE.

Interesting device. Here's a few details:
Charcoal Companion Steak Station 4-Probe Steak Thermometer is the perfect tool to help you keep track of up to four different steaks at once. Its easy to use color coated probe system allows the griller to keep track of different desired degrees of doneness in up to four steaks. Temperatures range from 115 to 170 F.
This would be pretty useful for a cookout, though you might need to get two of them. At only $22.50 though, that wouldn't be too costly.
You can grab one over at Amazon.com HERE.

This is a pretty awesome monitor. First of, it's obviously huge at 43-inches diagonal. The really cool thing about it though is that is you're actually going to use it as a computer monitor, which is possible since it has a resolution of 2880 by 900, the screen is curved to give you a better view of everything. Here's some details:
The CRVD's ultra-wide 32:10 aspect ratio is 180% wider than 16:9 displays and 240% wider than 4:3, letting you see more of what's important.
The CRVD's seamless curved screen engages 75% of the Human Visual System (HVS) peripheral vision, creating an unmatched immersive viewing experience.
The CRVD reduces eye fatigue because the screen is curved and the user's focal distance remains constant across the screen.
CRVD displays work with existing graphics cards, drivers, and games, so there is no need for special hardware or software.
Now, I doubt that your average graphics card is actually going to be able to pump out the needed resolution, but it's nice to know that if it can handle it, you don't need anything special like two cards or something like that.
The really bad news is that it's $6,500. Not exactly cheap, but I bet it would be amazing to use. You can check it out at the site HERE.

I recently dumped my iPhone and picked up a Droid X (which I'm VERY happy about), but I do wish this would work with my new phone. I'm not sure I would ever actually use them, but you never know.
Here's the details from the Photojojo.com:
It's hard to believe you were that Snobby McSnobberson of yore. You were dedicated to film 100%, cringing at the "D" in DSLR and the mere thought of shooting in JPEG. But then. iPhone happened.
It was the readiness with which you could whip out this camera that made you fall in love. Yes, it had you at hello, and now your only wish is to bathe your beloved with lavish accessories.
Well, your wish is granted! Our high-clarity glass cell phone lenses are the Zeiss to your camera-phone, so to speak, giving you crisp and clear shots every time.
These two small yet powerful and finely constructed lenses, one fisheye and one combo wide-angle/macro, attach to your cell phone transforming your standard flat phone photos into wide and up-close wonders.
They work with any camera phone and attaching them is easy breezy! A detachable magnetic ring sticks to your cell, providing a sturdy, shake-free hold between the lens and your phone.
Go with the combo wide-angle/macro lens for capturing sweet crowd shots at concerts or that awesome ally-way mural. When the same lens is set as a macro, you can really get in there to shoot a super-close-up detail! Meanwhile, the fisheye creates fun-tastic curved edges with its 180 degree angle whilst making everyone look like they live in a plastic bubble!
Facebook camera-phone album, get ready for pics like you've never seen before.
You can grab the lenses HERE.

With capacities up to 64GB and an impenetrable shell, the LaCie XtremKey is a truly rugged USB key that stands up to the elements.

I'm really going to have to grab one of these.
With the release of both Disney Epic Mickey, and a Tron Legacy game, company PDP has created a number of new controllers.
There's a paint brush Wii controller, with a pretty cool stand, but obviously I'm much more interested in the Tron controllers.
The one to the left is for the PS3, and there's also one for the Xbox360 and the Wii. All three controllers light up with a classic neon Tron look.
The Tron Legacy controllers will be out this fall, and the rumor is that each will be $50.
You can read a little more about them, and check out pictures of all of the controllers, over at Game Informer HERE.
