SlimBlade mouse has more than meets the eye
I like my gadgets to have more than one function. I’ve said for a long time that convergence is key. It almost seems to be such a waste to get something that only serves one purpose. That’s how you end up with a dozen different devices cluttering up your workspace, or worse, your pockets. I appreciate this new SlimBlade Presenter Mouse from Kensington because it packs a few extra goodies into its small package.

Tux Droid toy alerts you
There is something that bugs me about the Tux Droid – it is missing the customary bowtie that most penguins seem to wear. Perhaps it lost the bowtie when making its pilgrimage across ice floes?
Basically Tux Droid is a felt-covered desktop companion that utilises wireless technology to fetch information from the wonderful web and convey it to you in various charming ways. His accompanying USB fish transmitter (no, really!) beams info to him anywhere in the house, so he can alert you to incoming emails in the kitchen, RSS feeds in the front room, weather reports in the bathroom or breaking news in the bedroom. And he can do it by dancing, spinning, flapping or flashing – it’s up to you. Simply get busy with the customisable (is that a word?) software. The possibilities are endless.
The Tux Droid can be yours today for £89.95.
