It’s not really a new product, but the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit may be a good deal for console gamers who miss the easy text input capabilities of the PC. Basically it’s a bundle of the chatpad that plugs into any official Xbox controller, plus the wired Xbox 360 headset. The kit retails for $30 on the Xbox website, but as always there are discounts available from other retailers. More data and another pic for those who continue reading. Read more
3 Things Your Desktop Shouldn’t be Without

I’m still a bit gaga over my recent desktop purchase, because it’s true what they say: desktops provide maximum performance for every unit of currency you spend.
But, while you’re busy making sure your motherboard can maximize your video card—and vice-versa—take the time to consider adding these three features to your current or future desktop (After each item I’ve placed a suggested product available on NewEgg.com—these are affiliate links):
Card Reader. Why bother plugging in that camera or portable gaming console (among other things) into your USB port? Taking out the memory card and inserting it into a card reader is much more convenient, and cuts down on clutter. Make sure to get one that fits into a free 3.5″ or 5.25″ bay on your desktop, as that also minimizes the mess.

BudFits are just what I like in a gadget invention. Simple, cheap and solving one single problem with an Apple iPod accessory.
Taken from the official BudFits website:
iPod earbuds have reached iconic status and are the outward symbol to the world that you own an iPod instead of a generic digital media player. Yet iPod earbuds can be uncomfortable and fall out of many people’s ears during physical activities like exercise and extreme sports. The solution… BudFits.
Apparently these little gadgets are snap-on earpieces that fit Apple’s earbuds and will prevent them from falling out of your ears.
For for less then $10.00 USD a pair, you can’t go wrong. I’ll be ordering a set today and rocking them on my iPod Classic in no time.
