I like the laser torch, but can't think of a single situation where it would be useful.

Also, we have a problem with idiots flashing laser pointers into the eyes of pilots as they try to land their jumbos in my country at the moment. Laser pointers have been banned, let alone laser torches...I doubt I'd get it through customs.

For Bjorn-
Maybe linux and the server industry. Or if you want to take your metaphor away from computers, try a car company. Everyone understands what a Rolls Royce is for.

Most competent (read: people who do more than click a mouse) computer users will agree Microsoft dominates because their agreements, not because of better products. In fact, with the release of OpenOffice 3.0 on Friday / tomorrow, I cant think of one area where Microsoft even has the best product. Its not the desktop, its not an office suite, its not online, its not on the server, and its certainly not the OS unless you think failed ideas circa 1985 are awesome.

grenades for kids — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 21:17:13 -0000

According to similar posts on a variety of other blogs (including what appears to be the original post on MAKE) and even a slight bit of research, the grenade mouse is Spanish in origin, and is not a real grenade casing, but plastic. Nor is it for sale, but a mod to a cheap wireless Targus mouse (hence the tag on the bottom.) Also, the left mouse button is the trigger handle.

@Bjorn: The comparison is very much flawed, I admit.
Can you draw an alternative parallel?

@Fenix: I am undecided between McCain and Obama.
Its getting very dirty with the trooper case and other stuff coming up daily..

There's a major flaw in your comparison of Garmin with Microsoft. Microsoft does NOT dominate the market because they produce superior products.

Gadgets are getting more and more interesting not only in design but also features. Great share.
