Gateway is back with a bang – this time they have unveiled their latest netbook, the sleek and compact Gateway LT2000. What does Gateway offer in this package though? Just like many other netbooks in the market, you can’t really expect the specifications to differ much, and to this effect, the Gateway LT2000 does not “disappoint”. Coming in a sleek and compact design, you get a 10.1″ TFT LED backlit display fitted into a chassis that measures no more than an inch thick while tipping the scales at a mere 2.62 pounds, ensuring it is a snap to tote around even on long trips, making sure your shoulders do not get strained any more than they already are. It will share a somewhat similar design found in the Gateway LT3100 netbooks that were released last month, and you will be able to choose from NightSky Black and Cherry Red color schemes that will feature an engraved Gateway logo and modern silver trim accents.

Shure is sure (forgive the pun) that they’re pretty much at the top of the pecking order when it comes to developing headphones that target professionals, and this time round they’re proud to bring a trio of models for the masses – and they are the SRH840, SRH440 and SRH240 which are touted to offer unparalleled audio quality, ergonomics, and durability. While tradition dictates that professional headphones are more often than not limited to recording studios and production houses, Shure’s latest releases ensures that they will also work superbly with a wide range of other portable listening devices, user-generated content and home recording studios. These three headphones are able to achieve a masterful balance between comfort, durability, and rich lows, warm mids, and crisp highs, where individual models boast their very own sound signature, making them useful be it active listening or critical monitoring.

Have you been working extra hard on the computer during the past months so that you can complete whatever project your boss has thrown at you? Unless the office is kind enough to get ergonomically correct hardware (keyboard and mouse), chances are your arms (and the entire body, to boot) will require some form of massage to soothe its protests of aches and pains. Why not do it with the Forearm Pain Relief Massager?

Invented by a licensed massage therapist, this is the forearm massager that can relieve pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive stress injuries in the forearm without medication. The device replicates the Swedish arm massage technique to soothe the inflamed, stiff extensor and flexor muscles that cause forearm pain. Simply place your arm between the compression spring-loaded rollers, turn the dial to your preferred level of tension, and slide your arm back and forth through the cushioned rollers. Two ridges on the upper roller provide a penetrating massage that eases nerve compression and relieves tension in the muscles responsible for hand and wrist movement. The bottom roller’s rubber nodules grip and stretch sore, overworked muscles and tendons. The massager sets up unobtrusively on a desk or table.

Hammacher is carrying the Forearm Pain Relief Massager for $49.95.

While you’re out traveling, especially if it’s in the great outdoors, your gadgets don’t always get the charge they really need.  Which makes having a solar panel around extremely helpful.  Well with this, not only would you have a way to charge your gadgets, but something to store them in as well.  Be it while you’re out camping or just going from work to home, this would make things a little more convenient and not to mention eco-friendly.

When you’re on the go, having the right portable electronics can always make life a whole lot easier.  Part of that is just taking into account what you need and finding what fits you.  The same portable electronics don’t work for everyone.  Thankfully, there’s a lot of variety out there.  Well if you need a mouse for your laptop but don’t want a cordless one, this would make for a great gadget to pick up.  It has the cord, but it is able to store the cord away, which means less of a tangled mess at the bottom of your laptop bag.

Have you ever seen a concept device of some gadget, and wished that all gadgets of its type were like it? Okay, that was a little bit of a confusing opening, but this is what I was feeling when I saw designer Ryan McGinley’s Amur Leopard. I wished that all bikes were like it.

Of course, not all bikes have to be electric, but this one is. The electricity is needed for the navigational and communication unit that you can barely detect just below the handlebars.

The big selling point for me was that it opens up like it does. I’m told that space is wide enough to accommodate a laptop, briefcase, or a six-pack. It doesn’t look like it can keep the beverages cold, though.
