Apple vs. The World: Playing Dress-Up With Your Apple

Windows users always pull out the old “there are no peripherals for Mac” chestnut whenever they’re backed into a corner by rabid Apple addicts. While it’s true there aren’t as many extras for Mac as there are for Windows, there are still plenty of peripherals to go around. To prove our point, we rounded up a bunch of our favorites. There are of course tons more that can be added to the list, so please feel free to pony up your own top choices in the comments. → Read More

IOGear Digital Scribe Lets You Write With Ease

IOGear has a pretty rad product for those of you who still think the pen is mightier than the swordlaptop. The device clips onto a notebook and a special pen with a sensor is used to determine when you’re writing. Then whatever you write down appears on screen and can be made into text or an image. You can snag the wired version for $59.99 and the wireless version for a little more in Q1 of this year. → Read More

IOGEAR Germ-Free Mouse Free Of Germs

Yes! IOGEAR has finally made it safe to lick your friend’s mouse. That is of course if they are using the $39.95 Germ Free Wireless Laser Mouse, also to be known by its far-catchier name, the GME227RW6. The mouse has a Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and Silver (Ag) nano-particle compound on its surface that deactivates enzymes and proteins preventing bacteria, virus, fungi, and algae from surviving. Come to think of it, doesn’t silver make your skin turn blue? Hrmmm… It also does all the good things a laser mouse should, so even if you’re not hung up on catching a disease from your electronics you should feel free to check it out. Oh, and what I said about licking it, IOGEAR’s disclaimer says, along with some other fun stuff, not to “ingest the surface material of the device under any circumstances.” Bummer.
