Cable Organisator Exists to Baffle
This cable organizer might be good for an office. t’s time you hooked yourself up with some vinyl stickers to help decode the rat’s nest of wires that is your entertainment system. The only problem being if you want to use the labels to identify what goes where, you first have to figure out… what goes where. Follow?

Logitech Pro Presenter R800 – Remotes with Frickin’ Lasers
This is another one of those “must have” gadgets for which the cool-factor far outweighs the usefulness factor. The Logitech Professional Presenter R800 is a wireless remote control for running PowerPoint presentations. The remote has various timer and vibrate settings and an LCD display so that you can pace your presentation and monitor your remaining time. With a maximum range of 100ft you can roam the room and interact with your audience all you want with much fear of losing control of your slides. In addition, the remote displays signal strength of the connection to the USB wireless transmitter so you’ll know when you are about to go out of range.
The R800 is also packing a high visibility green laser pointer. Green lasers are a huge improvement for laser pointer as the beam is much more visible especially useful where you can’t dim the lights. All this is run on 2 AAA batteries so you don’t have to fuss with rechargeables unless you want to. You’ll have to justify $99 for this super weapon. N.B. Warranty void if surgically attached to sharks.
