Stone cold sober.

OK, so now you can grab yerself a Mac mini for not much cash, what about the missing keyboard, monitor and meece? Well the Ferret has a suggestion. How’s about a complete set of Wood Contour Corporation USB peripherals made out of stone? OK, so it’s not actually stone, it’s ‘scratch, stain and heat resistant’ Corian, but who’ll know? Choice of 120 colours (including white!) and yours for a mere $8100.00 a set. Waddya mean budget?  For comfort and style, these Corian designs…

Hands free and fancy.

The new Culmann Variocom VC4 (Deutsch) hands-free car phone unit is a real modular marvel. The feature set includes plug-in voice recognition, Bluetooth and GPS audio navigation cards and a neato PDA/laptop socket to let you use the phone as a modem for your snazzy handheld.

Power punch.

Portable Power Unit. $159.95. This is some power puppy, let me tell you. Not only does it store enough juice to jump-start up to 20 cars, but it comes with plug sockets for indoor use, air compressor, lantern, radio and alarm clock (in case you nod off while inflating the airbed, we suppose).  When the safety-sealed battery is fully charged (simply plug it into AC overnight), the power source provides 400 watts of AC power, enough to run a TV…

The Digital Battery Tester. £5.99. Useful little widget for battery users everywhere, especially if you’re fed up fiddling around with a multimeter to check on old cells.  The LCD display of this Digital Battery Tester clearly indicates the voltage of D, C, AA, AAA and 9 V batteries, especially as there are two different scales for 1.5 V and 9 V batteries. It’s compact design is another advantage.
