[quote name='DonutFinn']Internet Explorer 7. It matches Firefox feature by feature, looks better and more streamlined and has features Firefox doesn't like Quicktabs and a one-click-new-tab button.IE7 ??? No way. If there is a browser that deserves this nomination it is Firefox 2IE7 is a poorly executes copy of Firefox 2. My vote goes to he original.

{size:18px}[/size]This is a great mouse for anyone who has issues with carpel tunnel, or arthritis. I have arthritis in my wrist, and at times found it difficult to mouse at all. I stumbled upon the Evoluent mouse, and to my delight discovered that it came in, YES, A LEFT HANDED MODEL:idea:!! {size:18px}[/size]Even though I had to pay more for the left-handed model, it was well worth it! Products made specifically for left handers are hard to come by in my experience.The only less than glowing comments that I have about the Evoluent mouse are 1) It could be a little smaller, my hands aren't huge and it would add a little more control. 2) The physical software which came in the package was on a mini-disc, which my computer won't accept.So, hooray for the folks out there thinking about solutions to the physical strain that accompany long hours of computer use! :mrgreen: Sincerely,Sainthubert2001

The Micromemo by XtremeMac is a product I would like to nominate for one of the top 100 products of the year. It's one of the useful add-ons for an iPod and the styling and integration is well thought out. The built-in speaker, flexible mic, line-in capabilities and one-touch recording are awesome. And the the 2G nano model, it can still easily fit in your pocket.

I would nominate Mediafork (formerly handbrake) for Mac OS X. This is an excellent and easy-to-use piece of software that allows one to make back-ups of one's DVD collection. I could not live without it, and I'm glad that a new team picked up Handbrake after the original designer stopped developing it.

I have to nominate the USB Rocket Launcher.This nifty contraption has removed those annoying co-workers at the office that like to talk to one another right outside my pod. I think the greatest rocket strike ever was when my boss was talking to a super, right outside my cubicle. I grabbed the rocket launcher from my backpack, plugged it in, and took aim. The first shot hit my boss in the back of his head. STRIKE ONE! The second shot landed in a coffee mug over at the kitchen after bouncing off the fridge and startling a secretary. STRIKE TWO! The third shot hit the wall right above a doorway, and as a co-worker walked through the rocket fell off the wall and dropped on his head. STRIKE THREE!...Mission Complete......End Transmission...

I believe, iphone deserves to be best tech product award. I have always been looking for a phone which does everything. I mean, a phone that can take good pictures, store lot of music, gives me the facility of fm radio, store videos and is a personal digital assistant. i Phone is the only phone, which gives all this. Blackberry was my favorite earlier but it lacked a camera. Now i phone is definitely the best bet. No competition to it right now.

The Nintendo Wii may not be the system with the flashiest graphics or latest and greatest technology, but it could truly change the way we think about games. And think about it: which system was hardest to get this holiday season? The XBox 360? No. The PS3? No. It was the Wii.
