Good idea. For some people, their laptop is their net worth. They probably don’t have renter’s insurance (which is cheap by the way), and if their laptop gets stolen, it’s all over. To help alleviate some of this paranoia comes this unsuspecting laptop sleeve from Urban Outfitters that looks like a weathered old shipping package.
Upon closer inspection of course, it will reveal its true identity, but from afar it really looks like a piece of mail that’s been sitting around for a while. The shell is water and tear resistant and has expandable velcro closures for a secure fit for most any laptop. On sale now for $32.

Balloons have really gotten a bad rap lately. To usher in a new era of balloon appreciation comes the Balloon-Copter. Its design and premise is simple in that it is a propeller that is powered by the CO2 in the balloon.

Combining the most primitive elements discovered at the dawn of mankind, this rolling fireplace from Conmoto wants to go off-roading down your stairs with a passion. From the look of the picture it seems pretty fake but it actually runs off of ethanol and is a real heat source believe it or not.
Imagining some awesome YouTube
videos involving bowling and day care centers this fireplace isn’t designed to roll at all. What are we supposed think? Anyway, cool concept and I’d love to mess with one.

Available next month, GM’s AutoNet will let you literally install a WiFi hotspot in your car. The unit plus installation will cost $500 and there will be a monthly charge of $30 for a 1GB cap. There is also a 5GB cap offered but no price is known as of now.
The range will last up to a radius of 150 feet away from you car and would be great for camping, tailgating, and beyond. You could even have traveling video game competitions in your SUV while you drive from Inglewood to Compton. Anybody like this product?

If you’ve got any kind of interest in e-readers, then you know they can be a bit pricey. But the jetBook-Lite from ECTACO is looking to change all that by selling for $149.95.
The jetBook-Lite is officially, as of this writing, the cheapest e-reader device on the market.
Now, when you get a low-cost device like this, naturally you give up a few things. Tops on the list is 3G wireless connectivity and color secondary screens.
However, what you DO get is support for pretty much any ebook format on the face of the earth, including eReader DRM from Barnes and Noble. Plus, you also get support for multiple languages and a built-in dictionary, a rotating screen that can handle portrait or landscape mode, and last but not least, and incredible twenty three hours of run time on the strength of four AA batteries.
It’s a pretty good value for a cheap e-reader.

When I first fired up the page for the Sanicare Travel Bidet/Portable Bidet, I wasn’t reading ‘bidet’ correctly, that is until I got to the description. Yup, I’m afraid to say that this little sucker is for washing your nonmentionables, and I don’t mean your underwear. Perhaps it’s my US up bringing, but I found this little gadget to be disturbing on so many levels. Check some of the marketing text:
- The EXTERNAL SPRAY HEAD is intended for external washing of genital and anal areas.
- The INTERNAL SPRAY HEAD is intended for internal feminine washing or douching.
- The NURSING SPRAY HEAD is intended for general washing of body parts of infants and patients all-at-bed.
Even better is the chick pictured drying her hair with an almost ear to ear grin. If you so dare you can grab one for $40.
