Godefoy, and had a rather primitive design, with little (in fact – none) portability whatsoever.

Well, since that period, very little has changed in this field, save for some rather minor adjustments to the shape, now running in a smoother and fluid line and sporting a better size-to-power ratio, thanks to improved electric motors. These days, we ... [read more >>] It's hard to believe that there are any people who haven't heard of the cult Sci-Fi movie Blade Runner.

Despite the fact that the all glass and metal pool table looks nothing like the green fields you've been probably expecting to see, the G-1 table comes wit a most alluring shape and we could say it is truly inviting. Yet, we cannot leave aside the feeling of utter frailty glass has always been associated with – and by all means, there is nothing that fragile in the construction of the G-1 as it sports a top-drawer engineering, both as regards the glass side and in terms of ...

Well, in this case you should take a closer look at the USB Phantom Keystroker, one of the most evil and unmerciful prank-oriented gadgets you could think of using in an office. The Annoy-a-tron was cool, but this one is awesome! The greatest thing about offices is that they're usually loaded with computers, and your colleagues are working hard on them.
