When I first got my hands on Kensington’s new wireless notebook laser mouse, I was delightfully surprised at how tiny it was. Specifically designed for women, this pink and silver mouse comfortably sits in your hand while you use it to navigate your way around your desktop. Its high resolution laser sensor tracks the slightest movement on almost any surface while its 2.4Ghz wireless technology provides a wireless range up to 30 feet. Two great features include the mini receiver which is easily stored inside the mouse and will automatically turn off when stowed, as well as the detection light, that will warn you when the battery reaches low battery levels.

The perfect travel accessory alongside your laptop, this highly efficient mouse will provide you with months of usage on a single AA battery. Each mouse comes in a lovely white box with a bright red bow, to symbolize the best part of this mouse – Kensington’s participation in the Go Red For Women’s movement campaign. Kensington is a proud supporter of this movement, donating $125,000 to help combat heart disease, the number one killer of American women.

If you, or anyone you know is looking for a new place to live, you’d better check out MapsKrieg.com, a mashup of Google Maps and Craigslist.org that will help you find apartments, houses for rent, sublets or whatever living arrangement you are looking.

MapsKrieg.com allows you to pick your city from a pull-down list – not every city is available, but most major metropolitan areas are represented at this point. The usual Google Map will pop up for the city with the reddish balloon markers indicating Craiglist’s ad for apartments and houses at that location. When you click on the balloon you get a white bubble with a snipit from the Craiglist ad and a link to the real post. It may not be the most complete way to search for a new crib, but it takes the pain out of weeding through the usual Craigslist search results and skipping all the shady streets. (source)

The blog world is a buzz right now about a $200 battery-powered electronic cigarette that you smoke just like the real thing – only it delivers nicotine as a vapor.

Designed by China’s Golden Dragon Group, the Ruyan "e-cigarette" was reportedly created for "health" and "pleasure" reasons and is battery operated. The company said it expects sales to double in 2007 as it expands overseas.

According to China Daily, the faux ciggies consist of a built-in microprocessor and atomizer that combine air intake with nicotine from a cartridge. When inhaled, it gives off a vapor that the company says is non-toxic. $200 for a fake cancer stick that is "non-toxic" but still lets out nicotine? I’m not buying it. (source)
