NEXT launches the $150 netbook that squeezes into your handbag
The unhealthy financial climate has encompassed one and all and the mellowed down rich lasses look for other alternatives in stead of their hefty laptops. Elonex, a small British computer maker has found that sought after alternative by planning to launch a new generation of cheap laptops from this February. The laptops measuring a sleek 7 inches easily fit into your handbag and sells only for $150. The company’s tie up with NEXT could help glamorize the product and promote it as a fashion accessory. Nick Smith, the Chief executive of Elonex has a valid point to put up, “Wherever you are, you have full access to anything on your home computer, but if you lose it in a train or bar, you have lost only $150 worth of you kit, not all your valuable photos and documents.”

Datalog Calendar for the year 2009
Datalong Calendar 2009 is rather interesting. It is a bilateral affair that has been printed on translucent paper. Both sides of the paper are interdependent.

In the end, the effect is rather useful to know the inherent structure of working methods and processes of Codeluxe in 2008.
Bookmark Bedside Lamp for Bookworms
I can't stop raving about gadgets for lazy people. Here is another cool design concept, which if manufactured will be a blessing for all bookworms. Known as the Bookmark Bedside Lamp, it is a simple concept that combines a night lamp with a bookmark. Like you can see in the picture, the lamp has as a spot that sticks out to hold the place in your book. A great alternative to dog-ear marking or folding the pages, this concept is superb. Imagine the time it will save to go looking for a bookmark! I can already picture this lamp in every nook and corner of my home (cause I read more than 1 book at a time).

Jigsaw puzzles shaped like snacks in Japan
The Japanese have always made the world look on in fascination at their crazy trends. It's funny to see how they name their snacks. For example, they've turned an ordinary name like Carl into the most 'yummiest' snack ever. Makes you wonder what Carl tastes like? Cheesy, very! A mouth watering nipple-shaped strawberry chocolate is called Apollo. So, now they are naming chocolate nipples after Greek gods? But check this out. They actually have jigsaw puzzles shaped like snacks! How bizarre is that. I'd be feeling super hungry every time I tried to put together the puzzle. How I love the Japanese and their deliciously strange ideas.
Be weighed on your toilet seat
This is the most unique toilet seat I've come across so far this year. It actually has a built-in digital scale. I don't know if it's a good idea or not. You can weigh yourself on it before doing the deed and check how much you weigh after. Does this really serve any purpose though? Except for knowing how much you had eaten the previous day of course. Well, I guess Haikun Deng, the creator of this toilet seat scale thinks it's a good idea at least.

I truly respect people who take the time and effort to invent gadgets that help the disabled as well as senior citizens of our nation.

The magnetic hooks and loops are especially great for those who have occupational injuries from repetitive movement and restricted hand or arm positions.
