Join Ninja Tacks Put Your Boss In Their Place
Has your boss been walking all over you ever since you were hired to your current job? Some office managerial figures are on a real power trip, strutting their all-knowing knowledge to all of their powerless underlings. Would your boss treat you that way if he thought you were a ninja?
Psh, hell no he wouldn’t. His prized khaki pants and the legs within them would be quaking with fear that you might one day mysteriously appear out of an abandoned alley and go all kung-fu on his booty. Even if you don’t have ninja skills, these excellent Ninja Tacks can send the message.

Video Passports
Passports have become a major piece of identification for obtaining many other important documents. You can even use a passport to help get you a drivers license. The problem is that passports have become increasingly easy to forge with the improving technology.
In an attempt to halt passport forgery in its tracks, Samsung SDI and Germany’s Bundesdruckerei have been working on the development of a passport with a bendable OLED colored display on a special polycarbonate data page which can be used to display a variety of content, including video.

Giant Fabric Keyboard
Computer peripherals continue to get smaller and smaller. These days, the mouse would be better apt called the mouse embryo. And it doesn’t stop there. Keyboards are becoming more compact as well. Eventually, we might have to start fearing for those among us who have larger hands.
The Giant Fabric Keyboard seems like a perfect protest for the evolution of shrinking peripherals. This keyboard is living large, and it’s not afraid to strut its stuff. Flickr user Maurin has a great new set of photos up which shows how the Giant Fabric Keyboard was created.

Drivemocion Expresses Your Feelings Behind the Wheel
I’ve never been the type to use emoticons in my IM messages or emails, but I know some people who cannot stop using them.
So why not use them while you are driving? This is the reason the Drivemocion was invented.
The Drivemocion affixes to the inside of the rear car window via power suction cup. It is operated by a remote control for the front of the car that attaches to the front windscreen. All you need to do is press a button to send simple emoticon messages to motorists.
The Drivemocion comes in several models, which have several options for message displays. For example, the original model has a smiley face, winking face, an “Ooooo” face, plus two words of “sorry” and “thanks”.
That is one of the nicer models. Some of you might be relieved or agitated to know that there is a Drivemocion that allows the middle finger to be displayed. For the sake of the more easily offended readers, such as myself, I have chosen not to show the electronic bird.
The Drivemocion uses 4 AA batteries for power, and last for about 4 months. You should be able to get it for about £24.99 on the Au-my website.

Rock Band Stage Kit
I believe that I have mentioned on Coolest Gadgets just how much I love Guitar Hero. Just playing the game makes me feel like a huge rock star.
I have yet to play the similar game of Rock Band, which allows you to use a guitar, drum, keyboard, and microphone. The game has been selling as good as Guitar Hero, and encourages playing in a group instead of solo.
Whether you play solo or in group on these musical games, a new product has come out that allows you to go with that “I want to be a rock-and-roll star” aspiration.
So far, there has been very little information given about the The Stage Kit, a peripheral for Xbox 360’s Rock Band. From what we can see, it appears to have some kind of strobe light, and what looks to be some kind of fog machine effect.
