A mouse for lefties: eh, it's a start

Southpaws have it rough. Everything is made for right-handed people,
so if you want to drive a stick shift, write on a spiral bound
notebook, or use a can opener you're at a serious disadvantage. And computer mice, they're all nice and ergonomic… if you're right handed.
While no, we don't live in a wonderful fantasy world where Ned
Flanders opened a store for lefties, there is some good news for those
of you out there who struggle daily with the crippling disease of
left-handedness. This mouse has a switch on it that flips the right and
left mouse buttons, so you just need to move the mouse to the other
side of the keyboard when a lefty comes over to check his email. Sure,
you could just fiddle with the mouse settings on your computer to do
the same thing, but this one has a switch! Hot damn! All this can be yours for a mere $22.

Track people easily with TrackStick Pro
GPS is great for lots of things, but my favorite use of the lovable
satellite positioning system is having the ability to track your
friends, family, and employees without them knowing it. Who wouldn't
enjoy the feeling of omniscient power that comes from being able to
know exactly where someone is at any given moment? I'm getting chills
just thinking about all that hot, hot privacy invasion action.
The Trackstick Pro is a
tiny GPS recorder designed to get placed on a vehicle. It'll record
wherever it goes, storing the data for later transfer and analysis via
USB. It needs to get power, so it has an included cigarette lighter
adapter. That might make being sneaky a difficult option, but be
creative here people. No word on pricing or availability at the moment

Ads go after lucrative 'impulse smell' buyers

Picture
this: there you are, minding your own business at the bus stop, when
you take a deep breath. What's that smell? No, it isn't the hobo urine
stink you're used to. Cookies? Fresh from the oven cookies? Well,
cookies fresh from the oven that a hobo peed on, I guess. Just what is
going on here?
You've just experienced a new type of advertising! I call it
smell-o-vision, and it could become the most annoying innovation in
advertising since the advent of commercials that are louder than the
shows they interrupt. The "Got Milk?" campaign was the first to sign
on, making bus shelters smell like cookies so people would want some
milk. Naturally, people hated this, as not everyone wants to smell some
chemical adhesive that is designed to smell like baked goods when
they're just trying to get to work. We get assaulted with enough gross
smells every day without advertisers paying to get to our nostrils as
well. Predictably, the ads were removed early after multiple
complaints. Does this spell the end for smell-o-vision? Time will tell.
