6. All Talk

Interesting rechargeable batteries that can be recharge by using the USB ports on your computer / laptop. A great idea for users who use wireless devices such as a wireless keyboard or mouse and are frequently buying new batteries or for users who are on the road with a digital camera and need to recharge the batteries. The company makes a variety of different battery types that can all be plugged directly into the USB port.

CustomizeGoogle is a great Firefox plug-in we were recently introduced to. This great little add-on allows you to customize how the Google search engine operates allowing you to do such things as add the Google suggest feature to the main search page, add links to competitor searches, remove results from a specific domain, and much more. A must for any Google fan running Mozilla Firefox.
