Join Digital Photo Frame Webcam from WinWin
Every once in a while, someone makes a great gadget by simply taking a lot of other great gadgets and puts them all together like wet bits of clay. Today’s example would be the Digital Photo Frame Webcam from WinWin Industry, a Hong Kong Company.
As you can see, someone in the WinWin industry has created a win-win situation by combining what looks to be an alarm clock, digital picture frame, and webcam all in one unit.
We’ll start with the webcam. When attached to the PC, your friends and loved ones can see you. As for the 1.5 inch digital frame, that’s so you can see your friends and loved ones, even if they are just still shots.
The photo viewer has 8MB worth of memory, which is capable of storing up to 70 pictures. You can use it to make some slideshows, and the whole thing is detachable from the base so you can carry the viewer around in your pocket if you like. According to the features, it uses two built-in rechargeable batteries for operation.

USB Smart Privacy Mouse
The Internet is meant to boost productivity at work, but many people tend to (ab)use it for their personal benefit, and often productivity suffers as office drones go to less than appropriate sites. Getting caught at work while surfing for melons of the fleshly variety can be embarrassing, which is why the USB Smart Privacy Mouse comes with a secret button that can be programmed to switch to a work-friendly window in a snap. $19.99 as a form of insurance against losing your job? Sounds pretty reasonable, but if you are wasting your time away at the office with less than savory sites, chances are you will be overlooked during promotion anyway as your performance won’t be up to par.

USB Owl for your desktop
Now here’s yet another desktop toy for you to fool around whenever the boss isn’t looking – this time, it comes in the form of an USB Owl that boasts a fair number of action combinations to keep you entertained. He is able to move his eyeballs all over the place (within the confines of his eyes, of course) as well as rotate his head in an attempt to elicit a chuckle or two from you. Unfortunately, I don’t think forking out $26 for something like this is worth it. Isn’t the USB Whack It so much more entertaining?

Fujitsu Calmee Space lets you dock your hard drives
When you work on computers, one of the easiest ways to pull data off of a hard drive is to plug it into a different working PC. Rather than actually cracking the case on said PC, one of my favorite tools to use is an external USB adapter. While this method is much easier than putting the old hard drive inside of your computer, I always wondered if there was an easier way. As it turns out, there is.

Logitech Z Cinema PC Speakers Rock Your World
Logitech wants users to know that just because the sound is on your PC, it doesn’t mean it has to be mediocre. To prove this point, they have created the Z Cinema Advanced Surround Sound System.
The Z Cinema speakers are probably better than the speakers on most household stereos. The kit comes with two satellite speakers that are about a foot tall each, plus a powerful subwoofer that is so big you will want to put it underneath your desk. All of this adds up to some serious sound with 180 watts RMS total power with full SRS Surround Sound.

A floppy drive that might actually be useful
I spent several years of my life as a PC technician. I did many tasks which ranged from selling and building new computers to troubleshooting networks and general PC repair. One thing that you quickly learn is that the people that tend to have the most problems are also the ones running the oldest hardware. Needless to say, I worked on plenty of machines running Windows 95 and 98, which also meant I worked with a lot of floppy disks. I hated keeping a floppy drive in my computer, but sadly it was essential to my job. I don’t think I’d mind it quite as much if the drive served another purpose like reading multiple memory cards.

Optimus Maximus finally ships
If you had to think of the coolest keyboard in the world, I wouldn’t be surprised if you said the Optimus Maximus. Then again I also wouldn’t be surprised if you laughed and said that it wasn’t a real keyboard, but rather a magical creature designed by some Russian guy. Well the keyboard has finally made its way into existence, and is now officially shipping.
