Here's a piece of electronics that you buy and then hope you never have to use - a home defibrillator. We bought one last year - and I just heard that they used one at the Museum of Flight in September to resuscitate a visitor.
It's designed to be easy to use in an emergency - complete with audio instructions during use.

Just got this for my desktop - great getting rid of the wires from my USB headset/mic.
Favorite feature? You can mute the mic with a button on the earpiece and a little red LED lights up on the tip of the boom mic. Perfectly in your field of view (but no one else can see it).

This new site is TMZ with an eye to fashion and product endorsements. It looks like editors upload photos of celebrities using/endorsing various products, and users get to look at those, and make purchases.
Seems like a clear revenue model, but it's not clear to me why users would return here - are they going to compete with TMZ and try to break stories about celebs? If the gossip component is missing, I don't see how it will draw in repeat visitors.
Quoted: Coolspotters is the definitive source for discovering and sharing the products and brands used by your favorite celebrities - in their real lives and in other parts of pop culture such as movies, television, and music. And that's just the beginning...

Display ads are going mobile - and being placed in individual shopping carts!

Our friends told us about this really fun anagramming game, so I snapped one up when I saw it for sale today. There are 144 letter tiles. Each person races to complete a valid Scrabble-style crossword with his own letters.
After we played I checked the letter distribution. Interestingly, they are long on a few letters (from what you'd expect in normal English letter distribution: two each of JQXZ (expect 0), and they are really short on H's: 3 included (expect 9).
