If you have a tangle of cords and power strips behind your desk, you might want to consider one of these cable management solutions. And while you are at it, show us a picture of what your are dealing with.
If your room is as messy as mine and these cable holders and midget wires aren’t helping reduce the clutter of tangled wires, maybe it’s time to try the $US10 Sling Back universal wire retractor.
While HDMI may be the greatest home theatre connection known to Man, there can be instances when it comes unplugged accidentally. The universal hd EZ lock was designed to prevent such travesties.
A more masculine bracelet you will not find: Survival Straps are tightly braided, 20-foot lengths of parachute cord that can support 250 kilos.
While we liked the shiny unibody MacBooks, their new miniDisplay Port requires the use of a dual link DVI adaptor to drive the 30″ CinemaDisplay. Not only is the adaptor $US100; it’s a custom cord that can’t exactly be spotted between the batteries and singing cards at the drug store. Now Apple has informed preorderers to expect their shipments no sooner than December 23rd—which just goes to show that in a fight between Steve Jobs and Santa Claus, Steve Jobs would win…or something like that.

In our anecdotal experience, Apple has been pretty good about replacing clearly faulty MagSafe power adapters—the ones that split or fray from faulty manufacture. But now they are making their replacement policy official and offering free MagSafe replacements for the MacBook (13-inch Late 2006), MacBook (13-inch), MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy), MacBook Pro (17-inch). (We read that as all models that use the MagSafe power adapter). Bring in your bad MagSafes to any Apple retailer and they’ll take care of you. [Apple via Cult of Mac]
