PeeWee PC tough Atom-powered tablet netbook for kids
My dad bought our first PC, an 80286 IBM-compatible when I was twelve years old. That was two decades ago. Nowadays, twelve month old toddlers watch Baby Bright and Barney episodes on their mom’s netbook in Starbucks. Play kiddie games around 3 years old, multiplayer ones too. And build websites and blogs as they turn five.
Kids may be more tech-wise these days but being kids, a PC or notebook is regarded as merely toys to them. Handle with care is not in their job description at all. Simply put, they’ll trash your delicate computer in no time. What then? Buy a toughbook? No, get them kids a PeeWee PC!

Chances are you have something dirtier than the toilet sink staring back at you while reading this post. We all underestimate how much gunk, dust and dirty bits get stuck in our computer keyboards. Making it a breeding ground for germs and bacteria.
Imagine a worst case scenario where you’ve spilled coffee onto your keyboard. This Unotron keyboard is patented with SpillSeal® technology. Instead of just wiping the surface of the keyboard, SpillSeal® enables you to immerse the keyboard into a tub of soapwater to scrub, wipe and rinse dirt stuck underneath the keys.

EagleTec USB Nano Flash Drive
Touted as one of the smallest thumb drives in the world today, EagleTec USB Nano Flash Drive is so tiny you can leave it attached to your notebook without even realising it’s physically there.
As far as I can recall, I’ve broken two USB thumb drive by accidently snapping and bending it. My habit of moving my notebook around the house with protruding thumb drives attached is to blame. So when I saw this miniature thumb key, maybe their fate could have been avoided.
