Some soft and cushy mouse pads
Seriously, this is the coolest thing ever! Buy a few replacements in case your friends try to steal them (like mine)!
All mouse pads, delivered to a U.S. address (APO/FPO OK), are US$16.95 each + shipping & handling ($8.50 for 1 order, $12.00 flat rate for 2 to 6 pieces).
Test drive your next cell phone before you buy.
This web site will help you test drive some of the latest cell phones. namely the IPhone. The service gives consumers a resource where they can get more information about the phones they’re interested in without having to deal with crowds at their local wireless store or interacting with overzealous sales people. The service is brand new and only has a handful of phones available to test drive. TryPhone has plans to expand and add new models to the site soon.
Passive agressive notes
We all know what it’s like to have our lunch stolen from the fridge even when our name was on it (well, I know!). Or maybe someone’s parking in your space at home or the office, and you want to set them straight.Most of us would just talk to the offending party if we knew it was, and just move on if we don’t. Others choose to leave notes. Passive Aggressive Notes is a blog that posts pictures of those notes and shares them with the world. Some of them are sad, some of them are weird, but all of them are hilarious.
Breaking up the new way! Via the web
BreakUpEmail.com, helping you break up with the power of the internet!
Sometimes you don’t want to dump him or her in person. Sometimes you don’t even want to do it over the phone. So you send an email to say that your relationship is finished.
But you waste precious time trying to figure out just what to write. Worry no more, we at BreakUpEmail.com have the solution to end your relationship and the best part is that it is 100% free, no strings attached (we pay our bills with the ads you see on this site).
I love the FAQ section.
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
1. What do you do with the information I give you?
Nothing. When you fill out the form, none of that information goes anywhere. Our scripts give you a break up email, but none of that information is submitted to us or stored in any way.
2. Can you give me advice on breaking up?
No. The only advice we have is to fill out the form, copy the generated text into an email, and click that send button. Any requests for additional advice will be completely ignored by us experts here at BreakUpEmail.com. We are only experts in break up emails, not any other kind of break ups.
3. Why should I dump him/her by email?
Three possibilities:
a) you are a pansy-assed scaredy-cat unwilling, or too afraid, to even dump him/her over the phone;
b) you are too lazy to leave your computer and tell him/her in person;
c) he/she deserves to be dumped by email.
4. What kind of loser dumps someone by email?
See question 3
5. Is this site for real?
That depends on whose reality you’re talking about.
6. I have a suggestion to make. Who do I talk to?
If you really think it’s a great suggestion, you can send it to us by filling out the form on the contact page and we might take it seriously.
7. Who pays you guys to run this lousy site?
Nobody. That’s what the advertisements on the site are for.
8. Is Dieter Schneider part of your team?
No, he is not part of our team. He is the guy who designed a free CSS website template which we found on the internet (at this site). Many other sites use his templates as well. He is in no way affiliated with this site, and the appearance of his name on this site does not mean that he agrees with the content of this site. If our site doesn’t crash and burn, we will eventually pay him $9 for the unrestricted use of this otherwise free template.
9. Are you on Facebook?
There’s no way any of us would accept your friend request if you tried to add us. That would be too creepy. So, for real facebook addicts, we created a team Facebook account: click here.
10. Who created this site?
We are very secretive people. Therefore, no more questions
ClearPlay Content Filter DVD
I recently purchased a ClearPlay DVD player for my wife. She wanted something that can filter the content of the movies for our kids. I was a little sceptical about how well such a product would work. I ran across the ClearPlay DVD player at Best Buy. The player cost about $80.00, with a 1 year subscription to the service. This was almost a deal breaker for me, more money for more services. I don’t think so! But I figured at least the device comes with year of service. If i don’t like the service at least I’ll have another DVD player.
The Air Car
After fourteen years of research and development, Guy Negre has developed an engine that could become one of the biggest technological advances of this century. Its application to Compressed Air Technology(CAT) vehicles gives them significant economical and environmental advantages. With the incorporation of bi-energy (compressed air + fuel) the CAT Vehicles have increased their driving range to close to 2000 km with zero pollution in cities and considerably reduced pollution outside urban areas.
The application of the MDI engine in other areas, outside the automotive sector, opens a multitude of possibilities in nautical fields, co-generation, auxiliary engines, electric generators groups, etc. Compressed air is a new viable form of power that allows the accumulation and transport of energy. MDI is very close to initiating the production of a series of engines and vehicles. The company is financed by the sale of manufacturing licenses and patents all over the world.
Foldig Displays on the herizon
We’ve been look at wacky prototypes of rollable displays for so long that it’s hard to believe they could ever get real. Polymer Vision, a Philips spin out, has just announced that it has its production facilities up and running and its first rollable displays have made it off the assembly line. And they’re not leaving it at that. Polymer Vision’s first product, the 3G-enabled Readius, is supposed to be available before the end of the year. That doesn’t give them much time to slap the rest of the parts together, but hopefully the Readius can be giving Kindle some competition before we get too terribly accustomed to its DRM-ed ways.

3-Way SLI – Now that is some frame rate love!
No use kidding around: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 3-Way SLI kicks benchmark ass. Reviewers across the board found the setup to be far and away the best money can buy when it comes to graphics, but the price is certainly steep. Not only are the cards super pricey — you’re limited to the 8800 GTX and 8800 Ultra — but you’ll need a 1000+ watt power supply, and pretty much a fresh system from the ground up unless you’re already running the nForce 680i SLI motherboard. PC Perspective crunched the numbers, and you’re looking at about $2828 in costs before you even get to the case, hard drive, DVD drive and all that other superfluous stuff. That said, the third card really makes a big difference, since performance scales surprisingly well with the addition. You probably don’t need this kind of power if you’re not trying to game at full-res on a 30-incher, but if you don’t mind dropping $3k on a system purely designed to play Crysis at Very High, then you just might have some 3-way SLI in your future.
