If you're like me, and I know as a man I shouldn't admit this, when you open the hood of the car, you don't know where anything is but the oil dipstick, and the battery.  It's not as if you're technically incompetent, you take your computer out of its case and rearrange the contents every other week.  This is the product that will use your mad haxor skills (read: the ability to plug a usb cord into your computer) to diagnose problems with your car.  The information you get from CarMD can help level the playing field at the mechanic, so you don't just ask him why your check engine light is on, you tell him your light is coming on because you have an intake vacuum leak.  You connect the hand-held device to any 96 or newer car, and get an instant green, yellow, or red light.  If the light is yellow or red, you then plug the device into your computer for a printout of exactly what problems your car is having. www.carmd.com

Do you have a friend that seems to always have some new ridiculous story he claims is true?  You're alway sure he's wrong, but you have no way to prove it.  Now you can.  Snopes.com investigates urban legends and gives you a quick true or false status with all pertinent background information.  So you can tell your friend that, no, they didn't intentionally leave "In God We Trust" off of the new one dollar coins, they just moved it to an inscription on the side, and yes, ABC does forbid their anchors from wearing U.S. flag lapel pins. www.snopes.com

You have several photos in your wallet.  They are slightly bent up and faded, when you show them off you might be proud of the images, but slightly embarrassed at their condition.  What if, instead, you pulled out a credit-card sized digital picture frame that cycled through 58 of your favorite images?  You would definitely be proud of that, even if all the photos were just of your dog. These devices have a fairly low financial investment, this one is around thirty dollars, and it was seen on TV so it must be impressive.  Wow your friends, but try not to let them envy you, as you know that's sinful. www.walletpix.com
