I know, it is ridiculous, but we will be gone quite a few days, and I will need to be working in the mornings. Apparently, we are not the only ones who take gadgets on vacation.

PC gets Wii-like Controller with the Stix- July 3, 2008 Considering the popularity of the Nintendo Wii is, for the most part, based on the simplicity of its controller, it is about time that someone designed a Wiimote-like controller for PC Games. A company called GoLive2 has done that with The Stix. GoLive2 plans to launch the Stix controller with a companion website that will have hundreds of free Web-based games. They also plan on marketing two types of Stix: the 200 and the 400. The 200 looks to be designed just for their web-based games,..http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/pc_gets_wiilike_controller_with_the_stix.php Master Remote Control- July 3, 2008 Every once in a while, some new device that challenges how we think about something. Remote controls usually only advance in one way by becoming more "universal", but this Master Remote Control is very different. This Master Remote Control uses "two discs which can be spun or compressed in a number of gesture patterns to interact with your TV". So instead of pushing buttons, it simplifies the controls to a series of twists and gestures. So far, this device is just in the concept stage....http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/master_remote_control.php Sponsored Post: Laptopical Laptop Reviews- July 3, 2008 The problem with buying a laptop is that it&39;s really a personal decision.

If I did own a DS, I would definitely love to have the Lightsaber Stylus. There is a 3-pack that costs about $7.99 that will include Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Vader&39;s lightsabers. There is also a 2-pack that costs $16.99 of Luke and Vader&39;s sabers that can actually light up. These sets are planned to be released on July 31st, but they are available for pre-order on Amazon right now.

I work with two monitors, it is handy to have your email application on one screen and your messages on another. It is great to click on a new window in an internet browser and have both windows up simultaneously. Matrox thinks I might need four monitors, because their new M-Series feature a quad head GPU. Maybe I can see how you would use this if you are a software developer and need to see multiple threads of code at the same time, or maybe if you are...http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/matrox_thinks_two_monitors_is_not_enough_video_card... Bluetooth USB Adapter from Com One- July 1, 2008 Bluetooth has become the invisible glue that connects all our devices wirelessly.
