If you’re a fan of Super Mario, then this is the mouse for you. It’s a Koopa Shell, available in either red or blue, and it comes with a matching mouse pad. This is an actual working USB mechanical ball mouse with scroll wheel and it’s compatible with PCs or Macs. It doesn’t even require any special mouse drivers. I triple dog dare you to get one of these and use it at the office. I bet your boss will never take you seriously again.

Haven’t had enough Angry Birds yet? I’m sure a backlash is on the horizon, but in the meantime a speaker series is on the way from gear4.
Despite the red bird having a reputation for being useless, the speaker is actually quite functional. Both the red bird and bomber bird versions have the ability to connect to a mobile device with an auxiliary cable. It also comes with a separate iPhone/iPod/iPad dock. The green pig version, on the other hand, has a built-in helmet dock for the iPod/iPhone.
Look for the speakers to be released later this fall for $79.99-$99.99.
Hmmm. This old Philips ToUcam Pro webcam looks familiar. Skype at your own risk.

This officially licensed Toy Story alien webcam stands at a whopping 15-inches tall, so you’ll need some serious desktop real estate if you want to bring him home. He’s also USB-powered, which might be too much for your poor laptop battery to handle. In fact, with power companies struggling to keep up with demand during the summer, this thing could bring the entire grid down.
Seriously though, this is a fantastically fun peripheral. In addition to the 1.3 megapixel webcam, it features glowing eyes and an antenna, “ooooh” sound effects from the movie when you unplug him, an external speaker and 2 additional USB ports.
See it in action after the break.
This USB-It stick-on USB cable includes two USB cords and a bunch of tiny double-sided adhesive discs, which will allow you to give virtually anything the appearance of a USB compatible device. Although it’s basically useless apart from jokes and pranks, it will surely fuel fantasies of plugging it into your boss’ head and replacing his “Office Dictator” file with one titled “Doormat”.

Not sure I have to say much more than LEGO Minifigure 2GB USB Flash Drive, do I?
::grin::
Nah, I didn’t think I did—and this version is official. Here’s hoping they expand on this with more minifig characters and more storage.

As 3D movies and TVs become more popular, there seems to be increasing interest of getting rid of the familiar glasses. However, if this is the route the world is going to take, I think I’ll continue to wear to my pair.
