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. Seriously, at some point, every app will have failed at least once, including the Explorer itself. Actually, especially the Explorer itself.

I really hate digging on Windows so much. But it’s sort of like a Jew making a Jew joke. I use Windows myself (at least about half the time), so I’m sort of allowed? Right?

If for some reason you haven’t started using your various devices to keep track of your daily appointments you probably still rely on the old paper calendar. Either that or you’re completely awful with dates. Either way you likely need to make an upgrade.

The Taking Care of Business Mousepad keeps your daily appointments in clear view without taking up any more space then is already necessary, keeping your upcoming schedule at the forefront.

Even if my NES were still around, I doubt it would work. There’s something about sitting around in a dusty closet that doesn’t work well with the functioning hardware of gaming consoles. But don’t let it’s inability to work get you down. There are still plenty of possibilities.

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.

I can barely deal with two buttons and a scroll-wheel without tying my fingers into knots. The OpenOfficeMouse is truly a monstrosity of a peripheral, featuring 18 programmable buttons.

I never would have suspected that one day I could own a mouse only navigable with a detailed map of its buttons.

These are the only keys a true pirate needs to navigate the web. Shit… Mom’s coming? Avast, avast!

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.

Try to do an ollie on this bad boy without breaking any keys. Now that sounds like an interesting new challenge for the X-Games.

The Skatekeyboard combines the art of skating with the geekery of keyboarding. Can you skateboard and type a complete sentence with your feet at the same time? Tony Hawk has a new art to perfect now.

It’s hard to keep yourself well-groomed when you’re sitting in front of a computer screen all-day. Sometimes I look in the mirror and jump make in shock. “Who the hell is that grizzly hobo staring back at me?”

This $35 USB Comb Drive gives me an excuse to perform the most basic of hygienic acts, no matter how busy I might pretend to be. Now all I need is a pube trimming mouse.

A great edible gift for a Panda, not such a great edible gift for Panda pet owners. The 106-key Bamboo Keyboard and Mouse from Brando connects to your computer via its USB port and offers support for Window 2000/XP/Vista and Linux.

If you live in a heavy Panda bear population, you might want to either lock the keyboard up tight or mask its scent with your (hey, we don’t judge, Ok, maybe we do judge a little bit) or your mom’s perfume or something. You can purchase both keyboard and mouse individually or you can buy them together for $52.

My girlfriend will use this bag whether she likes it or not.

The Keybag is a purse made of keyboard keys, so for once you’ll know exactly how to press her buttons. Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all night.
