Ambient Forecasting Umbrella

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/ambient_umbrella.jpg[/img]
The utilitarian umbrella has received a lot of upgrades throughout theyears. It's been made smaller and larger, lighter, stronger, easier toopen, easier to close and even [url=http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/travelpower/9260/]glowing[/url].The Ambient Forecasting Umbrella, however, has received the ultimateupgrade - it's been made smarter. It tells you when you need to take italong with you.

This umbrella has been injected with some wonderful technologyin the handle. A built-in wireless receiver gets a daily weatherforecast from Accuweather.com, and blue LEDs will flash to let you knowif the forecast is rain or snow.The LEDs located at the bottom of the handle will flash in proportionto the chance of precipitation for your area; if there is a 100%chance, it will flash quickly, and if a 10% chance, it will flashslowly.

The umbrella itself is also incredibly well made. When opened, theumbrellas 58" dual-canopy "gust buster" design resists strong windgusts and keeps you fully sheltered from precipitation. Easypush-button opening action and full length storage sleeve with wriststrap.

Tengu

There is a philosophy in Japan with regards to electronics that a newbit of gadgetry doesn't exactly have to be practical to be useful. Oneonly has to look at their total embrace of household robotics to seethe truth of it. Their approach to gadgetry is to develop the productfirst, then create the need for it.

For example - here we have a cute little white plastic brick with aface made of LEDs. The tiny microphone in the base picks up sounds inthe room, whether it's music, or your loudmouth boss, and makes hismouth move in time. It's like he's lip synching to the song! Kinda likeBritney, only much much smaller, and probably smells better.

He's USB powered, so plug him in to any powered USB port, set himnear your favorite sound-source, and your little buddy will perform foryou all day long!

USB Mug Warmer & Hub

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/cafe_pad_hub.jpg[/img]
At ThinkGeek World Headquarters, like most office environments,available USB ports are often in short supply. It seems like there'salways someone wandering the halls asking if there's a spare USB hubaround. Often, the answer is 'no,' and a decision must be made:disconnect the USB Mug Warmer and watch as my coffee gets cold, or notconnect my thumb drive with all my work on it?
Why be forced into an obviously impossible dilemma, when there's theUSB Mug Warmer Hub? Not only do you get a warming pad, perfect forkeeping your hot caffeinated beverage hot, but you get 4 extra USBports to attach your other devices.
It works with metal mugs, glass mugs and ceramic mugs, but metal mugs work best as they conduct heat better. [color=red][b]Even though the packaging says 'do not use' with glass or ceramic, but trust us - it works just fine.[/b][/color] Chalk it up to bad translation, I guess.



[list][*]USB 1.1 up to 12Mbps[*]Heats up to 80 degrees celcius[*]110mm wide by 110mm deep. 120mm high.[*]Insulative section (metal part) diameter 72mm[*]Weight 110 grams[*]Cable length 148cm[*]On/off switch with LED indicator[/list]

USB Drink Chiller & Warmer

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/apex_usb_chiller.jpg[/img]
It's perfect and it's simple - a hotplate powered by USB keeps yourcoffee warm. But if Alton Brown has taught us anything is that we hatea single-use tool. That, and, sometimes we like our caffeine servedcold. No problem, 'cause we've got you covered!

Just flip a switch, and the hot-plate turns into a peltier device,quickly cooling to 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celcius). Sweet! Bymaintaining optimum temperatures for your caffeine delivery system, youcan enjoy increased work productivity and nice twitchy gaming reflexes.

Just know that it's not powerful enough to chill a room temperaturedrink, or warming cold coffee - that kind of ability is sneakingdangerously close to x-factor mutant ability! It will, however, delaythe inevitable march towards room temperature.
Shiny and jet-black, so it also looks wicked-cool on your desktop.

So you are probably wondering if a rabbit can really be "smart"? Wellthis bunny can teach you tai chi, read your e-mail, report the weatheror stock market, pull RSS feeds and tell you the time. We'd say that'spretty smart - but he's also got personality. Nabaztag can move hisears, play music, talk and whistle, and his body can show off hundredsof colors and special patterns of light. Sometimes he will even havehis own random things to say, as long as you can put up with his moods!

Okay, so Nabaztag is smart [i]and[/i] has personality - but whatabout interpersonal skills? Can he relate well to you and otherrabbits? Well, Nabaztag can marry another rabbit - that's right -copying the other rabbit's movements, sounds and lights. Move yourNabaztag's ears and its spouse's will too. And as far as friendship,Nabaztag can let you know when you have a new e-mail, read you today'sheadlines or give you his opinion of the previous week. But be carefulbecause he is uncompromising - if he thinks that he didn't receiveenough messages he might be unhappy.
And that's just the beginning, because the world of Nabaztag isexpanding all the time.

Wi-Spy Spectrum Analyzer

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/wi_spy.jpg[/img]
As the 2.4 GHz ISM Band becomes more popular (and more congested)interference from non-Wifi devices can seriously degrade Wi-Fiperformance.Wi-Spy is the world's smallest 2.4 GHz spectrum analyzer, and hasbeen designed specifically for troubleshooting and analyzing Wi-Finetworks. It shows the signal strength for all Wi-Fi networks as wellas Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, microwaves, Zigbee, and allother 2.4 GHz transmitters. Ata glance you can see what Wi-Fi channels are quiet and what channelsyou should avoid if possible. This makes it easy to pick a quietchannel for your access point instead of picking your favorite numberbetween 1 and 11.

The original Wi-Spy software was good, but the new and improvedChanalyzer 2.0 software features a completely redesigned interface thatpresents a more clear and concise view of your wireless landscape.Combined with the Wi-Spy spectrum analyzer, Chanalyzer will help youvisualize, troubleshoot, and optimize your wireless network.

Ironkey

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/ironkey.jpg[/img]
Thumb drives are a convenient and cool way to carry around yourdata, and with drive sizes in the gigabytes, you can store a ton ofphotos, files, music, and video in a very tiny space. Unfortunately,due to their small sizes, they are targets for information thieves.

Think about it - all that personal data - your resume, email, password-files, and pictures of your girlfriend [b][i](wink)[/i][/b]can be picked up and copied and returned before you even noticed it wasmissing. You want to have this data handy, but handy for [b]you[/b] and not for that scumbag down the hall with the sticky fingers.

Like you, the US Military wanted portable but secure storage, andthe guys at IronKey stepped up. They've developed the perfect solutionthat's one-part thumb-drive, and two parts [i]Mission: Impossible[/i].Their thumb drives hold up to 4 Gigabytes of data, but includes ahardware encryption chip that scrambles the data so as to be completelyunreadable without a password.

Passwords [i]can[/i]be hacked, but not the IronKey. It's built to withstand attacks bothvirtual and physical. 10 incorrect password attempts, and theencryption chip self-destructs, making the contents of the flash drivetotally unreadable. The contents of the drive are filled with epoxy, soif a hacker tries to physically access the chips, he'd more likelydamage them instead. Even if he did get access to the memory chips,they'd be worthless without the encryption chip. Electron-shielded,even a scanning electron microscope can't get inside.

Applications built right onto the IronKey help keep your personaldata safe. For example, the password manager keeps your passwords safe.How? Your passwords are securely stored in a hidden hardware-encryptedarea inside the device (and not in the drive's file system), beingfirst locally encrypted with 256-bit AES, using randomly generated keysencrypted with a SHA-256 hash of your device password. All of this datais then doubly encrypted with 128-bit AES hardware encryption. Hack [b]that[/b].

A secure copy of Firefox included with your IronKey encrypts yourbrowsing session through a VPN tunnel to IronKey's Secure SessionsService. It works by tunneling your entire web browsing communicationsthrough the Tor-based Secure Sessions proxy on your IronKey. The SecureSessions tunnel connects over an encrypted connection to their networkrouting servers, which in turn route your traffic between a number ofservers, and then eventually out to your destination website. Thisapproach protects your identity and your confidentiality, encryptingand anonymizing your Web surfing on almost any network or VPN (virtualprivate network).

These drives have already seen duty in Afghanistan, keeping USMilitary secrets safe from unsavory people. They're certainly goodenough even for your most sensitive data.
All this goodness is demoed [url=https://www.ironkey.com/demo]here[/url]. Go check it out!

Mandylion Password Manager

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/mandylion_manager.jpg[/img]
Unfortunately, we all have to deal with modern life’s littlecyber-burden, the password. Some of us do so by simply re-using an oldpassword when the system asks you to change it. Other times we use thesame password but just add the month at the end. Some people evenresort to keeping their passwords written on yellow stickey notes or intheir wallet. None of these options, however, is very effective forprotecting your valuable data. Instead, we would like to present asuperior solution brought to you compliments of the US Military.

The Mandylion Password Manager is a secure, convenient andcost-effective device built specifically for generating and protectingyour passwords. Tested and matured for 3 years in real warfareenvironments, it is now available for commercial use. Built as a smallkeyring device, it can securely manage up to 50 logins, safecombinations, security codes, etc. that can be individually generatedto meet the composition requirements of any login policy. Passwords canbe any length up to 14 characters or namespaces. It can createpasswords based on your settings for various criteria (such as length,alpha-numeric, special characters, etc.) and prompt you to change yourpasswords at preset time intervals (90 days, 1 year, etc.) Also, alldata is stored in permanent memory, so it is unaffected by battery lifeor loss of power. Tamper-resistant features have been employed bothinside and out, making the device a superior choice to storingpasswords on your PDA, PC or worse, writing them down.
Using the device is very easy. There are 5 buttons used fornavigation and data entry. The device is activated by entering a uniquebutton sequence that is user-defined. Totally self-contained andair-gapped from any system, passwords are viewed on the token's LCDdisplay which has a limited viewing angle to prevent shoulder surfing.There are also user-defined lockout settings, including a self-destructfeature for high risk scenarios. The device will also indicate failedactivation attempts (with a "Tampered" message displayed uponsuccessful activation.) Included Policy Master software makesdescribing the login policy (length, expiration, composition) for eachlogin record and configuring the token a snap. The token does the rest.

This little unit has been designed to meet U.S. Military standards for secure creation and management of passwords (use authorized under Army Regulation 25-2 IA.)   This device helps creates a strong security policy for your work environment (so naturally you can brag to the boss about it) and provides cost savings in the form of reduced help desk support and password changing downtime.  When used for personal password management the personal password manager eliminates having to remember all those annoying passwords and usernames.
Has these great features.

Swedish FireSteel

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/light_my_fire.jpg[/img]
Originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, Swedish FireSteel is a flash of genius. Its nearly 3,000°C spark makes fire building easy in any weather, at any altitude. Used by a number of armies around the world, Swedish FireSteel's dependability has already made it a favorite of survival experts, hunters, fishermen and campers. It has also found its way into cabins and backyards as a fool-proof way to light stoves and gas-barbecues.  Amazingly enough it also works equally well when wet.  We think geeks will appreciate the power of being able to start a fire with such a simple tool.
A metal blade is slowly moved across the Firesteel, generating sparks that can easily be thrown onto a small pile of dry grass, leaves or paper to start a fire.  When the fire is becoming established, thin sticks of wood can be added, gradually increasing to thicker ones.
The Swedish FireSteel has these great features.

[list][*]Lights campfires, stoves, gas-barbecues[*]Uses a magnesium alloy that consists of 7 metals[*]Lasts for approximately 12,000 strikes[*]Produces a spark temperature close to 3,000°C (5,500°F)[*]Bright spark – can be used as emergency signal[*]Functions in rain and snow[*]Dimensions: main component is approx. 3.75" long[*]Weight: approx. 1.9 ounces[*]Also available: [url=http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/754d/images/1555/]MayaDust[/url]- a fire starting material made from Pino de Ocote, a fatwood pinecultivated in the highlands of Guatemala and Mexico.

Cellphone Signal Extender

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/zboost.jpg[/img]
A lot of technology goes into making your cellphone work. So you wouldthink that we would be more understanding of dropped calls and garbledconversations. Nope.

Sad.
Well quit staring at your one-bar-worth of signal strength and pickup this handy Cellphone Signal Extender for your home or office. Simplymount the included antenna near a window and run the coax cable to thebase booster unit. You get 2500 square feet of prime signal area(enough to cover 2-3 rooms on two different floors). We went from 1bar... to 5 at the ThinkGeek secret headquarters and made our iPhonesvery happy in the process.

Virtual pets are fun, but sometimes they can be a virtual pain in thevirtual backside. You have to virtually feed them and virtually playwith them. And yes, they virtually love you, but it's just not the sameas real love.

We have thesolution: the Mini Pet Cactus.

The Mini Pet Cactus will love you unconditionally. All you haveto do it is water it once a month for about a minute (instructions onpackaging). Each cactus comes with a strap to attach to your jacket,cell phone, etc., so you can take it with you everywhere. Nothing saysfun like talking to your cactus in a public place - until security asksyou to leave, that is. Want to display your new pet at home or in theoffice? Try the Mini Pet Cactus Stand (sold separately). It has anadhesive back to attach to a wall, your monitor, your forehead, etc.The Mini Pet Cactus is waiting to be adopted…by you!

Japanese Luminous Mushrooms

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/luminous_mushrooms.jpg[/img]
In the beginning, Mario used to power up by eating mushrooms. And it was good. Then someone thought, [i]Hey, Mario is wearing overalls. They have pockets. Let's let Mario take his power ups with him![/i]And it was even better. Unfortunately, we're not able to sellfull-sized power up mushrooms (they are just too powerful for mortals),but we do have the next best thing.

Use them as a cell phone strap, use them as a keychain - we don't care.Just make sure to keep a little power up with you. Each mini bottleholds a tiny power up mushroom. Not enough to make you double in size,but just enough to make you smile. The mushroom is kept alive by thelittle rocks inside the bottle with it. You can tell they are poweredup by the way that they glow in the dark. But don't worry about feedingthem - the mushrooms are plastic, as are the rocks. It's better thatway. Power up!Each mushroom is Extra Life Green!

Each bottle is about 1"tall.

Japanese Lucky Golden Poo

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/lucky_golden_poo.jpg[/img]
Your Lucky Sh!t Awaits

For those of you who don't know, the kanji for "lucky" in Japan is verysimilar to the shortened form of the Japanese word for "poo." Hence thebrilliant Japanese played with the pun and the Lucky Golden Poo wasum..born. But, contrary to popular belief, golden poo is lucky in moreplaces than just Japan. It is also lucky in Ireland. Extensive researchon the internet has shown without a doubt that the famed Pot o' Goldthat Leprechauns protect is actually a Chamber Pot o' Gold (i.e. luckygolden leprechaun poo). And don't even get us started on the "Goose WhoLaid Golden Eggs" story. Eww.

Anywho, we're now offering Lucky Golden Poos because we know howmuch everyone can use a little more luck in their lives. We recommendattaching them to your cell phone (as the Japanese do) for only luckycalls. You could attach it to your Wiimote for extra luck in gaming(Wii and Poo, together again!)

You could buy the 2-pack and do both! Oryou could keep one Lucky Poo for you and give one to a deservingfriend. Because nothing says friendship than sharing Poo.Each Lucky Golden Poo is about .5" in diameter and is coveredwith a golden metallic substance (except for some of the bottom, wherethe Poo meets the conveyor belt).

Dalek Cell Phone Alert Charm

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/dalek_cellphone_charm.jpg[/img]
If there is one thing Doctor Who hates, it's missing a call on his cellphone. Lucky for him, then, that whilst traveling the universe he founda little shop selling baby Daleks - really tiny, pocket-sized Daleks.They were too small to cause any harm, but they did have one curiousfeature. When exposed to certain frequencies, they would spin in acircle and cause random lights to flash. The good Doctor knew he had apowerful tool at his disposal so he bought a ton of the littlecreatures and disappeared into his workshop. When he emerged, he hadinvented the Dalek Cell Phone Alert Charm.

Just hang one off your jacket, computer bag, navel ring, etc., and anytime you get a call on your cell phone, your very own imprisoned Dalekwill spin around and little lights will flash near its base. It's justthat simple. So, anytime you have to leave your cell phone on "silent,"just watch your Dalek to see if you have an incoming call. '[i]But hey,'[/i] you are wondering, [i]'didn't you just say Doctor Who invented these things? Then how did ThinkGeek get them to sell to me?'[/i] Let's just say we have friends all over the universe . . .

Khet Laser Game

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/khet-laser-game.jpg[/img]
On a recent archaeological expedition near the Great Pyramids of Egypt,the ThinkGeek R&D department made a shocking discovery. The detailswill be published in a few months, but we couldn't wait to share whatwe found: the favorite game of the Ancient Egyptians was made ofplastic and mirrors, and used lasers. Yes…lasers! It was called Khet,and once again it is available for all to enjoy.
There are four types of playing pieces, and two of them havemirrors. Game play is simple, and easy to learn, as there are only 3movement choices. The goal is to eliminate your opponent's Pharaoh.And, you eliminate the Pharaoh just like they did in olden times - byfiring a red laser! Each side of the board is equipped with its ownlaser, which you press after your turn. The laser bounces from mirrorto mirror (always shooting off at a 90 degree angle). If the laser hitsany piece on a non-reflective surface, that piece is removed from play.If you eliminate your opponent's Pharaoh, you win. If you eliminateyour own Pharaoh, you will be mocked for all time.

[b]New Expansion Pieces: Eye of Horus Beam Splitters![/b] Thistwo-pack of special pieces will up the ante of any Khet challenge. Whyhave one laser beam to keep track of when you can split it and have twoor (splitting it again) three? Each two-pack comes with one Red and oneSilver Eye of Horus, plus a booklet with new rules and suggested gameplay setups. Are you ready to stare down the Eye of Horus?

The ThinkGeek USB Snowbot

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/usb_snowbot.gif[/img]

[i][color=red]Color changing scan, eerie Snowbot sound, articulating arms...a ThinkGeek exclusive...[/color][/i]
Last December, as we were settling down for a long winter's nap, wewere visited by two robots from the future! They spoke to us and now itis time to share their message. There's good news and bad news. Thegood news is there are tons of really cool robots in the future. Thebad news is they are divided into two factions, are waging war againsteach other, and have "downgraded" humans to pretty much servants andfood. We quickly smashed the robots with hammers, and swore to devise away to save humanity.

Before we destroyed the robots, however, we were able to learn twothings. 1. Each army of robots uses a different color scanning light(red or blue); 2. We have no idea which side is in humanity's bestinterest to win. So we built the Snowbot - a small, winter-themedbeacon…and perhaps our only hope. Powered by a simple USB port, theSnowbot has a scanning light just like the robots from the future. Youcan change the speed of the scan, turn on/off the scanning noise, and(for future protection) change the scan color (red or blue). So nomatter which robot army storms your home or office, a quick flick of aswitch and you are rooting for the invader's color. Hopefully then therobots will just make you a servant and not an appetizer. Good luck andhappy holidays.

The ThinkGeek Snowbot Features:
[list][*] USB Powered (for great justice!)[*] Scanning LED Robotic Eye[*] Rate of sweeping is controllable via knob[*] Selectable LED Robotic Eye Colors (Blue or Red)[*] Authentic Snowbot Sound (on/off switch)[*] Rotating, articulating metal arms[*] Coiled (12") USB cable extends to 30"[/list]
[b]ThinkGeek Notes:[/b] There is a chance that the artificialintelligence which created the robot armies of the future originatedfrom a massive connection of small USB desktop devices plugged intocomputers connected to the Internet. Please don't blame us if, byattempting to find a way to save humanity, we have inadvertently doomedit. Thank you.

Glow Brick

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/glow_brick.jpg[/img]
Yep - it's a glow-in-the-dark light bulb trapped inside a solid acrylicbrick. The Glow Brick recharges from energy in natural sunlight duringthe day and glows at night. Not only that, it is actually made with areal light bulb! That's right.

The glow-in-the-dark* pigment is trapped inside a real light bulb(just like the ones you have at home). Then the light bulb is encasedin a solid block of Acrylic resin. The mysterious optical effect is caused by light diffracting in thetiny space between the glass of the light bulb and the resin - thisspace forms when the resin shrinks by a tiny amount during theproduction process. The polished surface gives a jewel like quality tothe object. In a darkened room, or at night, the Glow Brick comes tolife with a tranquil and subtle glow emanating from the pigment insidethe light bulb. Size is 3.3" x 3.3" x 5"

*The technical term for the glow-in-the-dark is"photoluminescence" this is a process in which energy absorbed by asubstance is released relatively slowly in the form of light.

Ambient Orb Device

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/ambientorb.jpg[/img]
The Ambient Orb is a device that slowly transitions between thousands of colors to show changes in the weather, the health of your stock portfolio, or if your boss or friend is on instant messenger.  It is a simple wireless object that unobtrusively presents information. Imagine if you had to go to your computer and type in your zip code whenever you wanted to check what time it was. Your important information should be as accessible as looking at a clock, now the Ambient Orb can make a variety of information just a glance away.

The Orb arrives set to indicate the Dow - glowing more green to indicate market movement up and red to indicate movement down, or yellow when the market is calm. If the market is up or down more than 1.5% the Orb will pulsate.  It can be customized to a set of free channels, such as market indices (Dow, Nasdaq, S&P 500) or weather in select cities. Optionally, you can upgrade to access more premium channels, such as your customized portfolio, local weather, pollen count, or IM buddy watch.There's also a developer interface where any semi-savvy web programmer can control the color of their Orb with a simple http "get" call. Track how full your hard drive is, traffic on your website, Slashdot posts, or your credit-card debt.

The Ambient Orb is simply plugged into any standard 110V power outlet and it is up and running on a nationwide wireless network - no internet connection required.  The Orb does not attach to a PC. The channel for the Orb can be selected via a web interface and will update in a short period of time.  Depending on which channel the Orb is monitoring, it will receive updates every few minutes, or perhaps once per hour for some channels.

The Ambient Orb has these features:
[list][*]LED lighting that can produce thousands of color combinations[*]Orb can also produce color pulses[*]The Orb is made of glass[*]Pre-configured to monitor the Dow - can be reconfirgured online or through an 800 number[*]Premium content available for about $1/week[*]Does not require a computer, phone or internet connection[*]Three brightness level settings[*]Includes power supply, power cord, and glass Orb[*]Can monitor: Stock market, weather, pollen count, IM buddies, or custom data[*]One-year manufaturer warranty[/list]

Forever Flashlight

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/foreverflashlight.jpg[/img]

The Forever Flashlight uses no batteries or bulbs.  Instead it uses Faraday's Principle of Induction and a bright LED to produce light without batteries.  The light is shaken for about 30 seconds to recharge a capacitor and it will then provide about 5 minutes of light.  As the light is shaken, a magnet passes through a metal coil generating electricity.  During prolonged use it can be shaken for 10-15 seconds every 2 or 3 minutes.

The light requires no maintenance so it can be left in your home or car for a longtime but will still be ready to produce light.  The bright LED will last for thousands of hours and does not burn-out like a typical lightbulb - it should never need replacement.
Great features of the Forever Flashlight:

[list][*]Available in Regular, Medium or Micro-size[*]Super bright blue/white LED[*]Never needs batteries[*]Never needs bulbs[*]Waterproof[*]Floats in water[*]Visible for up to one mile[*]Great for cars, boats, server rooms, and all emergency kits[*]Dimensions: 11.25" x 1.5" dia. for Regular, 6.5" x 1" dia. for Micro[*]Weight: 11.8 oz (335 grams) for Regular, 3.6 oz (102 grams) for Micro[*][/list]One-year warranty.

Mathmos Space Projector

[img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/mathmos-projector.jpg[/img]

The projector is available with a Blue/Green or Red/Violet color wheel.  Great for lan parties, late night caffeine-powered coding marathons, MP3 jam sessions, and general relaxation.  The Space Projector has these features:

USB Rocket Launcher

The arms race is on. The workplace has become a dangerous place, butonce upon a time, it was all a laugh. Back in the day, your workmateschased each other with squirt-guns, then disc-guns. Everybody laughedwhen somebody brought in the harmless Airzooka. Gleefully, somebodybrought in a marshmallow blaster.

Then it went kinda nuts. Sonic Grenades, catapults, lightsabers,ninjas... Suddenly, it was less about harmless fun. Suddenly, thingsgot serious. Deadly serious. The day that the guy down the hall broughtin the USB Missile Launcher was the day the gauntlet was thrown down.

Today is the day it gets picked up, and slapped across the face ofyour office enemy. ThinkGeek's new USB Rocket Launcher has more thantwice the range of his missile launcher - yeah, I said [b][i]twice the range[/i][/b].

Anyway, this rocket launcher connects to your Windows 2000, XP or Vistamachine via USB. Install the included software, plug in the RocketLauncher, and with 360 degree horizontal rotation and 45 degreevertical rotation, the USB Rocket Launcher can fire over six meters,giving you coverage for over 113 square meters of your workspace.
