Swiss Army's 32GB Laser Pointer is ideal for the corporate jungle.

Swiss Army Knives are always the standard in pocket knives. With high quality engineering, they are the desire of every camper and backpacker looking for a tool to use out in the wild. But sometimes, it’s a jungle out there in the workplace, but now the SwissFlash has you covered.

The SwissFlash 16GB Laser Pointer contains all the usual refinements of a Swiss Army Knife – namely the blade, nail file, screwdriver, scissor clippers, et al – but they a 32 gigabyte flash drive and laser pointer. This means that business types can not only bring their presentation on the drive, but use the pointer to provide proper emphasis as well.

Cost is a hefty $145, but how many times can you buy a piece of camping gear and have it deducted as a business expense?

USB speakers are pretty much a dime a dozen these days.  Most definitely fall into the boring category, but they all have their ways that they attempt to stand out from the crowd.  Well these are probably going to appeal to the Transformer fans out there.  This seems more like it’s for the younger Transformer fans, but I’m sure that won’t stop the hardcore fans from loving these speakers anyway.

If the illuminated mouse pad with a calculator wasn’t really your style, you should check out this slightly more professional looking mouse pad.  Granted, most people have had zero need for a mouse pad for quite some time, but there are those that prefer to still use one anyway.  If you do like to have one around, this one has plenty of other uses that make it easily justifiable.

I suppose that this next gadget is really for those who want to pay a high price for a puzzle. What you see in this photo here is the MNEMOSYNE 16 gigabyte USB storage cube.

Yes, that’s right, somehow all those pieces will come together to create a cube. Yeah, it brings me back to those days of mental puzzles in the 80’s like the Rubik’s Cube, the Missing Link, and others of its type.

When it is assembled correctly, you will be able to have the USB key that you have been looking for. Yeah, I’m not certain why you would want a storage device like this, nor would you want to pay such a high price for it. Check it out after the jump.

For those of you who don’t know, the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11, the first landing on the moon, is this year, on this very month, to be exact.

I suppose it is only fitting that Motorola has put out a special version of the Aura to commemorate this historic event. It is called the Celestial Edition, and it includes the historic audio clips.

I’m sure you know the clips I’m talking about: “that’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. By the way, I heard that Neil Armstrong actually screwed up his famous line, as he was supposed to say: “that’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”. Makes more sense that way, doesn’t it? I mean, he might as well have said: “one small step for man, one giant leap for man”.

Some of you might remember the Nabaztag White Rabbit, a Wi-Fi enabled device with wiggly ears that can be controlled via website. It would appear that Arimaz has come up with a sequel with MyDeskFriend.

This time, it’s a penguin. MyDeskFriend is supposed to be a “social-media companion”, as it primarily operates from Facebook. You can then exercise and feed the penguin from Facebook in order to keep it in a happy mood. Other Facebook friends can also play with it with the gameplay interface.

Speaking of interface, a user can play with the MyDeskFriend by following his or her finger. And in case you are wondering, you can’t lure MyDeskFriend off the edge of your desk, even though you may want to. No, five infrared sensors let MyDeskFriend know where the edge of the desk is, and it will stop before it takes the plunge.

If you’re on the lookout for a dock, this one definitely has a little bit of that mad scientist appeal that would definitely keep life interesting.  The colors within the ball on it will actually move about along with the beat of the music.  Which would give a cool lighting effect while you’re listening to your favorite songs.  While you’re becoming entranced with the shining bright lights, your iPod gets to sit on the dock and charge up.
