Nerf Raider might make you king of the heap
There are some offices these days that are more fun to be in, simply because the higher management decided to let employees destress via impromptu Nerf gun fights. Well, the Nerf Raider will definitely help you prepare for ‘Nerfageddon’, as this £29.99 purchase is capable of rapid firing foam missiles courtesy of its rather large side-mounted drum clip. Capable of holding up to 35 darts at once (which is more than any other Nerf blaster, word!), it is the ideal platform to deliver what others might think to be a seemingly endless barrage of boingy bullets. All you need to do is pump the handle, squeeze the trigger and you’re ready to shower a whole world of foam bullets at the enemy! It also has a tactical rail for attachments and an adjustable stock for comfort, the Raider is one of the more essential weapons to have on your team if Nerf gunfights are a staple in your part of the office.

Balance disorder treated via implantable device
Have you ever heard of Meniere’s disease before? It is an inner ear disorder which affects about one percent of folks living in the US, and is a particularly disabling condition since attacks of vertigo can occur without any prior warning. In order to treat it, ordinary folks are required to lay still for several hours at a time before they can get back on their feet again. Since it strikes like a thief in the night, this ever-present possibility will inevitable cause sufferers to avoid certain activities, situations and perhaps, even careers. Both medication and lifestyle changes will do their bit to alleviate the situation, but it will not solve it completely. Of course, there is always the alternative to go under the knife, but that typically results in depleted hearing and/or balance functions of the affected ear. Good thing for progress though as a team of scientists from the University of Washington Medical Center are currently working on a new cochlear implant on their first human test subject. The main idea? To remove the patient’s symptoms without sacrificing functionality in either ear.

Autoloader Screwdriver for DIY enthusiasts
If you are a DIY enthusiast, chances are pretty high that you already own a personal set of tools that absolutely, ultimately, cannot be touched by anyone else other than yourself. After all, this is your samurai sword – once “unsheathed”, it must screw something in. Well, if you hold such tools in high regard, then the Autoloader Screwdriver might be just the ticket for you. This £19.99 purchase is touted to be idiot proof, as it boasts a patented pump-action bit change mechanism. All you need to do is pull back the handle, twist until you find the right bit for the job and you’re good to go. There is a total of half a dozen nickel-plated Phillips and flathead bits to choose from, and since the bit tips are magnetized, there isn’t any worry of dropping those pesky screws due to shaky hands. Time to go down to Ikea and buy some stuff to assemble, eh?
MP3/iPod Wireless Sound Pillow
If you want to listen to your favorite tunes all around at night without having to go throgh the trouble of disturbing your loved one who is snoring away so soundly right beside you, then you might be interested to check out the £24.95 MP3/iPod Wireless Sound Pillow. Now available for pre-order, it is expected to be delivered when November 5 rolls around, which isn’t too shabby when you think about it since that is less than a couple of weeks away. This is the perfect tool for tuning in to your iPod or MP3 player in bed to have a little “alone” time. Since it sports wireless connectivity, you are able to transmit audio from just about any source, where the TV is not exempted either. Audio will be transmitted via the pillow at a comfortable listening level, and it will play nice with any audio source that relies on a 3.5mm audio cable. Powered by a couple of AA batteries, this should be able to last for a fair number of hours before running out of juice.
