    In reply to Attention, PETA: Fur-Covered USB Sticks ALERT
    Because something that resembles the severed tip of a cat's tail makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

    "Currently only available in Japan."

    That may explain the fact that when I look at it, all I see is a lecherous anime stereotype.

    Yeah, it's not worth it if it's not also a bottle opener. I mean, it looks so inviting for a cap.

    In reply to Thanko's Raremono Is the USB Shortwave Radio You've Been... Waiting For?
    Awesome, but... it's too small to have a full size shortwave antenna in it. Also, I have to shut off all computers to hear anything more than loud repetitious grinding on the shortwave...

    Is shortwave really relevant anymore? With pod casting from around the world whats the point.

    @stanluv: Seems like for major disasters shortwave still has relevance. You need a fair bit of functional "grid" relatively nearby to get internet or mobile phones. Not so shortwave.

    I'd be interested in a device that lets me broadcast FM over a decent range from my computer.

    Not anything that is going to get me in pirate-radio trouble, but cube-farm DJ? That could be fun.

    @dsh: For cubicle range, you can get small FM transmitters for car stereos.

    Going over a watt or 5 would probably land you in some trouble... if you always used it from the same spot, and broadcast all the time, and someone complained about it. The big problem pirate radio stations run into is that they have cheap gear, overzealously run it through a signal amp, and end up interfering with adjacent frequencies... but if you want a little office/household transmitter like they sell in audio accessory departments I wouldn't worry about any of that.

    As a left-handed person, I must admit that I have no idea why anybody would want a left-handed mouse to exist. Unless you want to make 99% of the world's computers unusable to you, you've trained yourself to use the mouse with your right hand from the beginning.

    For most activities I have almost no precision with my right hand at all, but I'm not even sure if I could manage to use a left-handed mouse if I tried, it would just be too foreign and weird.

    @chefgon: Right there with you. No lefty I know uses a left-handed mouse, including myself. Left-handed mice have nothing to do with being left handed, that's like requesting your car be right-hand drive or that someone switches the gas and clutch petals on your car.

    My boss and his wife use the mouse in their left hand. I think they both do it because of tennis elbow or something, but it drives me nuts.

    You know you have been on the computer too long when your mouse melts onto your keyboard and grows a growing red boil on the side.

    If I had more money and less sense I would buy a couple of these and a few of those Mimo screens and make a big steampunk-themed 8 display monstrosity with the screens sprouting everywhichway displaying different widgets and programs. But I'm sure I'll never get around to it.
