Links 1-7 of 7 in this trail

1. Keyboards that Rock

   Are you tired of punching away on that silly, wimpy, dome-switch keyboard? Get a keyboard with some serious, macho crunch to it at Pckeyboard.com, the current holder of the "buckling spring" patent.

2. Jet Bike

   Powered by a Rolls Royce Allison turbine, the kind found in helicopters, the MTT Turbine Superbike boasts 320HP and a top speed of 227MPH. This beauty will set you back a pauper's sum of $150k, and with a production of five units per year, you're likely to have to wait in line. On the plus side, they come in infinite custom colors.

3. The Skycar is Coming

   Looking like a cross between a Cessna and the Batmobile, Moller's Skycar is set to hit the wild blue yonder by the end of the decade. Order yours today for the low-low price of $1M and a $100k deposit. If that's a little out of your budget, or if you just can't wait until 2010 for your personal VTOL fix, then you can always buy the scale model from their website.
4. Tesla Motors

   0-60 in 4 seconds and 135MPG? That's what Tesla Motors is offering in its vision of the world's first electric supercar. Co-designed by Lotus and with a base price of $98k, this is actually affordable when compared with other cars in its class.

5. Swiss Army Knife - USB!

   It slices, it dices and it stores 1GB in its USB 2.0 stick. At home in the office or on the range, this genuine Swiss Army knife will come in handy whether you need to file your nails, pop out a screw or transfer top-secret files from your mark's notebook.

6. Nifty Divot Widget

   OK, so this isn't exactly high tech. But we all have that golfer in our life that is impossible to buy for. Rather than picking up some plastic junk from the gadget store that will quickly find its way to the back of the clutter closet, how about a gold-plated divot tool and ball marker personalized with a dime from the year of your choice? For $13? Yeah, it's pretty cool.
7. iPhone NES

   An (usable) NES emulator for the iPhone. Now we're talking!
