CTRL+ALT+DEL Cup Set Force Quits Your Tea Drinking Plans

ctrl-alt-del-cups-set-1

Windows users are all too familiar with the CTRL+ALT+DEL key combination, loading the task manager and allowing you to force quit any applications which are acting screwy, which at some point, is every app on Windows.

The NEStickle is a Sanwa joystick, including buttons, built right inside of an old defunct NES console. The stick with compatible with Xbox 360, PS3, PS2 and even Windows, Mac and Linux machines. While the NEStickle is certainly not the most space conscious gadget, if nothing else it’s an awesome example of console recycling.

If you’ve come across Apple’s homepage today you might notice several new gadgets strewn across the site, including the maxi pad-inspired Magic Mouse, a brand new multi-touch mouse device which will now ship with all iMacs.

Apple also unveiled a new line of iMacs with massive 21.5 or 27 in. displays and a wireless keyboard and new MacBooks with a brand-new unibody look, only 1.08 inches thick, a built-in battery and an expanded trackpad. I’m actually pretty surprised all of this new gadgetry was released without so much as a minor scheduled event. Check out Apple.com for all the details.
