Darth Cuddlebunny – Infectious iPhone, iPod, BlackBerry and Laptop Skins

Everyone’s favorite Sith Lord (like you were going to vote for someone else?) is now available in cuddly, cute, Hello-Kitty fashion with these new skins by Infectious. Dubbed the “pink.invader,” this skin is available in several different sticky flavors, for your lappy, iPod, iPhone, BlackBerry, or Trapper-Keeper notebook. Alright, we made that last one up, but only because our Trapper Keeper had Optimus Prime on it, and it doesn’t get much more badass than that.

Liquid Cooling Pad: keep your laptop cool without electronics

It’s OK, I think I can guess what you’re thinking, because laptop cooling products are hardly the most exciting gadgets ever invented. Even that picture is boring… Exciting: maybe not. Essential: definitely. Enter the TDD-9000 liquid cooling pad from Nexus Technology.

Dealing With Laptop Theft

Thank goodness that I have not had to face this situation, and I am frantically crossing ALL of my fingers (if that’s even possible) that I would not have to find myself in such a bind – ever! Losing a laptop is not a remote possibility – it is an all-too-real possibility these days. While I am sure that you are quite vigilant when you have your laptop with you, you never know what might happen. One second you might be playing with your baby and the next, it might be gone!
