In the never ending world of USB type gadgets we now have the Digital Clock Calendar with built in USB Hub. The clock/calendar part displays time, date, temperature and also works as an alarm clock, timer and has a calendar. But, the “magic” doesn’t stop there. The Digital clock also features a 4 port USB hub allowing you to connect up to 4 USB type devices together.

Features

The 4 port USB Clock costs $20 and is available from Gadget4all.

Slim is in, and so is small. If not, how else can one explain the phenomenal sales of the Asus Eee PC despite lacking the necessary firepower to run all sorts of common desktop applications? Granted, the Windows XP-powered Eee PC 900 will be beefier and can handle more common tasks with ease, but I digress. MSI has not forgotten about the ultra small desktop market, introducing a spanking new energy saving compacy mini-ITX full system known as the Titan 700. It almost works flawlessly out of the factory, but you do need to purchase an operating system before it is able to run. Also, I would advise you having some sort of monitor ready beforehand (CRT or LCD, it is your call but seriously speaking, who still uses the former unless there is really no choice?) if you want to get up and running the moment the MSI Titan 700 arrives at your doorstep.

The Google Recycled Mini Wireless Mouse is definitely one of the cuter peripherals I have come across, and it adds to the ‘fun’ feeling that the company offers even while at work. This diminutive piece of hardware comes with a Wi-Fi dongle stored on it, and has an 800 dpi resolution while being made out of recycled plastic. It will come in blue or red colors, and the $19.20 mouse even ships in recycled packaging to keep those green advocates quiet. Perfect in keeping in line with the company’s “Do no evil” mantra.

As you sit at home with all of your big expensive appliances, it’s hard to contemplate that there are still plenty of people who still dry their clothes the old fashion way, by hanging their wet laundry on a clothesline. The Spincaz is a USB drive which reminds us of the simple ways of doing things we take for granted.

The Spincaz acts as any other wooden clip would. You can attach it to your clothes for a humorous garment accessory, or even hang it out to dry in the air with your clothes. Though hanging an electronic on a wet rag is probably not the best idea if you feel like using your USB drive again at some point.

Green House has just released its GH-EXC-ESA2 card that increases the connectivity of your notebook. It will feature a couple of 3.0Gbps eSATA slots, a JBOD external drive, and support for RAID 0/1. Not only will it come in the older PCMCIA Type II model, there will also be a PCI Express version. Both devices have been certified to run on both Windows XP and Vista, so Mac owners are out of the loop yet again. Bummer! No idea on how much this costs, nor whether it will be available outside of Japan or not.

Truth be told, I have an assortment of files on my computer I’d rather not have other people look at. Whether it be secretive outlines for future blog posts or confidential paper work and conversations, there are just some pieces of data I’d rather not have viewed by any nosy desktop hunters.

While there are plenty of ways to hide the files behind a wall of security features, such as marking files as hidden or developing a password system, the only method some people feel secure with is the use of biometrics. The Sequiam Biometrics ScanQ Fingerprint Authentication Scanner and Software is made especially for securing your personal files which need a little extra privacy.

Despite the release of Vista last year, Windows XP still remains the OS of choice for many people. XP has been around for quite a while now, and while it has aged, the two service packs have kept it going strong all these years. If you’re one of many users that have decided not to upgrade just yet, you’ll be happy to know that Microsoft has released their third service pack for Windows XP.
