 | | Fourteen Computer Accessories: Great Gift OptionsYou will find that new computer accessories in various formats are being introduced to us, the consumer, on a very regular basis. With the benefit of the internet we are now able to purchase wholesale electronic items from distributors all over the world. Many of us, the consumers, use the internet to source products such as these, as well as many others, and business owners around the world are ensuring that we have the ability to do so.
There is a huge selection of products available in this area, either for functional purposes to aid us in our work, or those that are more novelty items and just make the pleasure of our stay at our computers more enjoyable.
Many of these novelty or generalized items may in fact not be widely known and therefore, to ensure that you are not missing out on the great options available to you I will list some of those for you. Some of them may in fact be functional depending on your needs however from my perspective they are novelty:
Wireless Dental Camera or Dental Intra-Oral Camera For use to check my teeth or my childrens teeth to make sure they have brushed before going to bed.
Laser Key Projection Keyboard Uses half the space of a normal keyboard but for me is more of a novelty item.
USB Digital Microscope To examine all those little things that I probably never wanted to see in the first place.
8GB USB Flash Drive Necklace So my wife can not loose her USB and stays accessorized with her outfit when out shopping.
Hamburger Mini Speaker OK speakers are functional but these look like Hamburgers and therefore to me are anoveltyoption.
Remote Control Presentation Laser Pointer I can see this as being functional for many however for me it is a great tool when playing with the family dog.
8GB Watermelon USB Flash Device Functional for the storage of my information but novelty just for the design, keeps me thinking healthy as well.
21st Century Mickey USB Webcam with Fan, Microphone and LED Light looks great and my children love it when they chat online with their grandparents.
USB Plasma Ball total novelty, no function whatsoever except perhaps a little light and for writers with Writers Block.
USB Powered Cooler/Heater Retro Refrigerator Design great for that cold can of whatever you need right next to you at the computer. Functional use is negotiable except perhaps if youre occupation is as a drink taster.
Chairman Maos Laptop Cooling Pad ok these are functional to any laptop owner and like this one there are other designs, with fancy lights and the purpose of course is real in that it will cool your laptop. As I have a PC this one is not for me.
Gadget Paper Shredder and Letter Opener Ok perhaps this is useful for some but I cant find a reason that I would need this device.
USB Crystal Sparkling Stars holiday color lights pure novelty but as stated in the advertisement better than a plant as no watering required.
Cup Warmer and USB Hub with Clock great for the morning coffee cup and to remind you how long you have been sitting at the computer, completely functional item and no way this is a novelty.
So there you have just a few of the options available, these few being available fromChina wholesaleand direct to the public or to businesses. I am sure that in perhaps a year or less there will be numerous other items that can be added to the above list and by no means is this list a complete offering of the computer accessories available today. Check out the range of products out there. Many of these items make greatgiftsfor friends and family any time of the year making them functional when you are not sure what to buy for someone. |

| The Hundred-Year Lie: How to Protect Yourself from the Chemicals That Are Destroying Your Health
by Randall Fitzgerald |  | In the tradition of Silent Spring and Fast Food Nation, investigative journalist Randall Fitzgerald warns how thousands of man-made chemicals in our food, water, medicine, and environment are making humans the most polluted species on the planet. A century ago in 1906, when Congress enacted the Pure Food and Drug Act, Americans were promised "better living through chemistry." Fitzgerald provides overwhelming evidence to shatter this myth, and many others perpetrated by the chemical, pharmaceutical, and processed foods industries.
Plume (June 26, 2007)
Product Dimensions: 8.4 x 5.2 x 0.7 inches
Paperback: 304 pages | Consider This:- The average American carries a "body burden" of 700 synthetic chemicals
- Chemicals in tap water can cause reproductive abnormalities and hermaphroditic birth
- A 2005 study of lactating women in eighteen U.S. states found perchlorate (a toxic component of rocket fuel) in practically every mother's breast milk
- Lab tests have found that four common food additives-aspartame, MSG, and two coloring chemicals-interact synergistically to produce nerve damage. These additives are commonly found in junk food marketed to children.
- In the past few decades male sperm counts fell by 50 percent, women's tubal pregnancies increased by 400 percent, and girls eight years old and younger began experiencing puberty. Chemicals are redefining what is "normal"
| Editorial Review:
In 1906, Congress passed the US Food and Drug Act and, according to the author, this has led to the "Hundred-Year Lie" that our food and drugs have been investigated and are safe and that the additives and chemicals put in them may actually make them better than the organic, natural variety. As an investigative reporter, Fitzgerald is expert at using scientific documents, articles in science and environmental journals and expert interviews to support his case. He concludes that we cannot rely on the government, science or manufacturers to either protect us or predict the effects of the products we ingest. As a test, Fitzgerald had his own blood analyzed for toxins and, in spite of living in an area of California known for its pure water and air and careful eating habits, he was shocked to find many toxic chemicals in his blood. While many readers will not agree with his conclusion that "Merely by choosing a diet of pure foods and a lifestyle free of synthetics, we can detoxify ourselves and initiate the healing of many degenerative illnesses and diseases," this book will cause any reader to think about the effect of our own voluntary actions on the health of our bodies. His suggestions for practical steps one can take may prove useful as well, although in the paperback afterword, he fears that denial will prevent most people or governments from taking any significant action.
