Expensive Geek Toys Roundup

Posted by michael on from the put-it-on-my-credit-card dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I was recently asked by a coworker to come up with a list of <implied> expensive </implied> and cool gadgets for a VIP. He was interested in anything that was up-and-coming, rare and the usual odd combination of devices (ie. anything with a camera/WiFi that shouldn't have it). I figured that since it was Friday, it may be a good day to see what the /. crew has up their sleeves."

    "btw, can we use that as a noun yet? Like a gaggle of geese, a herd a cattle or a school of fish, can we have a Google of computers?"

    Considering Google coopted a math term (googleplex, sometimes just called 'google'), which was taken from a cartoon characters (Barney Google, one of the original Snuffy Smith characters), I don't see why not.

    FYI, a google is a 1 followed by 100 zeroes.
