Ah, at last! Here is a genuine human welfare minded person that understood the problems faced by laptop computer users and created the mouse of the century. Laptop users who have reluctantly switched over from using desktop computers like my husband face this one problem-no numeric keypad in laptop.

I know my husband struggles to key in numbers in laptop. His fingers will automatically grope for the non-existent number pad in laptop.

Here is a mouse that carries the numeric keypad. This is a optical mouse that connects to a USB port. It comes with 30" retractable cable.

Available at Amazon for a whopping $41.35.

If only it can be shipped to India...sigh...

My God! What a product! Such environment friendly product should be made available all over the world, especially to India where environment awareness is at zero level. For such countries it is better to given useful and hi-tech gadgets than educating them on their responsibilities towards environment protection.

This is a trash can that opens automatically when the hand reaches near it. Even when the trash is six inches away from this infra red trash can, the lid opens itself.

This so called touchless trashcan creates a germ free, odor free, automated environment.
It has a capacity of 13 gallon. (Oh, I will never understand this gallon; btw, how many or how much is a gallon?)

It also won the 2002 Invention Show, New Household Product Award. This cost about $70 only and if you want to buy, click on the link above.

This is an optical mouse that rests snugly on the finger of the computer operator. I want to buy this for my husband who uses his laptop. I know he is not comfortable using the inbuilt mouse pad.

This mouse is USB powered. The design is definitely ergonomic.

It fits on any finger using the adjustable Velcro strap.

This foldable computer is from the house of Samsung.
It has in-built CDMA mobile phone, MP3 music player and comes with 30 GB hard disc drive and runs on Windows platform.

Yes, of course, you can connect it to the Internet and thus use it as a TV receiver. But you must be satisfied watching TV shows in a 5 inch screen.

It is unusually gold in Madras at this time. The sun has taken the day off being a (Sun)day. You too SUN?

I have never wear warm clothes as simply they are never needed in Madras. But today, I wish I have one.

Especially, I wish I have this lovely green Shamrock sweater that I just spotted at Collections Etc. Even as I look at it, I feel warm and cozy. But if I order now, by the time it arrives here, the sun will be at its scorching best as ever.

BTW, why it is called 'St. Patty's Day sweater'?

If you hang this alien plaque on any one the walls in your house, you can expect the following things to happen for sure.

*Long staying guests will pack off but after cursing you as well the movie 'Alien'.

*A real alien if it happen to pay you a visit will move away as a token of respect to it's kin.

*Might ward off thieves as well.

This wall decor(?) can be made to look further scary by rearranging the three pieces. The cost of this scary Roswell Alien plaque is $34.95 and is available at Design toscano.

I think I need not say much about the picture here. This is a sort of magic wand with which you can enthrall anyone in your neighborhood especially if you dress like Harry Potter.

This wand is said to contain a battery that generates static electricity. There are some built in 3D Mylar shapes that obey the wand on your hand.

Watch a video clip below on how this wand works. Don't forget to turn on the speakers to listen to a melody.

The price seems to be a bit stiff at $27 for me. What do you say?

Look, this is not a toy for your kids or for the noisy brats from your neighbor hood. This is still a fun toy but used to serve chilled drinks.

I am damn sure this is an ideal gift to my sister-in-law who used to host parties quite often in her Virginia home. I heard that about 40 people attend her parties because she is an enthusiastic cook and her Tamil Iyyangar's food is a big hit among American friends of her husband.


By the look of the size of the inflatable tub with that intimidating skeleton, it seems you can throw in 40 diet Cokes-right?

For just $23, this is definitely a neighbors' envy.

Today's wild ideas become tomorrow's reality.

The necessity to frequently change the garbage bag inside a vacuum cleaner made someone think wildly: "What if I have a vacuum cleaner without a bag to empty now and then?"

The thinker might have been an ordinary person but the thought has been picked up an extraordinary person who had the resources to make the thought real.

The result is, we now have a vacuum cleaner without a bag!

This compact, powerful multi-purpose deep cleaner is perfect for tasks large and small with a big tank capacity.

Available here for $90.

The price tag of $199 is quite steep. that too, when the aromatic oil is not included in it.

Humidifying your living and bedroom is a great idea. It is more so when you fill up the room with cool, fragrant air. This humidifier that cost $199 uses ultrasonic technology that helps circulating the air cool. There are two variable modes that includes a continuous mode and an intermittent mode.

From the image of this gadget, it looks like a chimney which I personally feel a good design. This will facilitate longevity to the water in its tank.

You only need to add a few drops of aroma oil in it to enjoy the fragrance.

I have seen several aromatic humidifiers but this particular chimney like design seems to be more efficient and suitable even to cars.
