This Isn’t Your Grandpa’s Fax Machine

A Booster Seat to Drop the Heat

In case you didn’t know already, heat is the #1 nemesis for computers. All those fragile components crunching away on data and graphics really get the temperature rising. (Wouldn’t you be really warm after doing a few hundred million math problems?!) The heat issue is only magnified for laptops. All the extra space for ventilation is removed, fans are smaller, everything is shrunk! To top (or bottom, as it may be) it off, the only place to get a decent size fan running on a laptop is on its underside. That way, all the hot air inside computer can be blown out… onto the table or desk a few millimeters away. Sounds useful, doesn’t it? Well, the Powerlift Laptop Stand offers a way to get some additional heat-dissipating distance for your laptop.

Light On, Man, Light On

Some days at the office it just seems like you’ll never be able to see or experience the true light of day again.

Fortunately, the folks over at Lumiram have come up with a way to stomp out the bad light and bring in the good stuff. They call it the Chromalux Full-Spectrum Lightbulb and it definitely does the job. (more…)

Mightier Than The Sword

This is pen is out of this world! Okay, not really, but despite the design being around since the 1940’s, it wasn’t until NASA started using the pressurized version of Fisher’s bullet-style pen in 1967 that it became so famous. Granted, some of the fame can be attributed to the urban legend that says NASA spent millions of dollars developing a pen that could write in zero gravity, underwater, on glass and more.
