at least we get ... glowing umbrellas right?

We sure do.

This place has something cooler already (in the UK at least) Just insert your SIM card, and away you go... Better price too... It also has built in mp3/video player, and a camera...

If UKers are looking for similar ideas, http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/ has a myriad of sciency toys, and stupid stuff you know is completely stupid but you still want it anyway.

This would go great with the T-Qualizer http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/searchSite.do?Query =t-qualizer&x=0&y=0

I also recommend a Room Defender: if it starts going off, someone is at your door.

That's about what you'd need to be sure. If you think you're being spyed on then bare in mind that the various security services (MI5/6, NSA etc) have been able to tell what you're typing by listening to your key strokes (with a microphone) for years (make that decades, pretty much since keyboards came into common use for messaging).

A toilet seat that projected a red X on the water at night when the seat was in the up postion and a green circle when the seat was down sure would be nice.

Does anyone use one of these http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/search.do?productCo de=PROKEY ?Are they ok for real work or just some half assed toy?

right here (saw link on fark)

Projector Keyboard

Wouldn't it be ironic if we had the technology to blast this sucker away from our orbit, but lacked the quantity of fossil fuels necessary to accomplish the task with present technology?

Aren't we supposed to be out of oil by then?

Better start working on nuclear propulsion with leaving the earth's orbit.

Or we'll be trying to shoot it down with compressed-air rockets like these.

try and get me with that and I'll get you with this Rata ta tat

... so that our customers could trick people with them. Hopefully me posting this link won't ruin that.

But that's because the L-39's are fairly cheap and come with free home delivery.

the same company sells a beer key
I think /.er's would find that a lot more useful ;)

A LED flashlight that will knock their Christmas stockings off. MAME fans will want an arcade joystick. Or if they prefer their classic gaming fun on the go, a portable SNES/NES/2600. Some others have mentioned Leatherman tools. From Thinkgeek, an LED binary clock. How about an Archos media player? Probably not geeky, but something weird like this a magic tree. Or lastly, and perhaps not least, a very affordable Shortwave radio for $10.

Cool, that works with both pronounciations.

These kind of "office toys" play havoc with one's productivity in the office. I have bought a couple of toys (namely a Mini MP5 Gun and a Rubber Band Gun, and both caused much merriment, and less work. I know I could kiss work goodbye if I had one of these babies!

I don't think it is the same brand but try Iwantoneofthose.com. They are selling something similar in the "Toys and Games" section for about twenty quid.

.. a few months and the kits will turn up on www.iwantoneofthose.com
