If you, like me, do unnatural things with your iPhone, go pick up a 10-pack of Wireless Wipes. Why? Because touchscreens are apparently hotbeds of scum and villainy. And germs, which is what a British study discovered when it found they carry “tens of thousands of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus.” Another study, conducted in Arizona, randomly tested 25 mobiles and found staph on nearly half of them. Staph, in case you didn’t know, causes everything from pimples and boils, to pneumonia and meningitis, which explains the chronic headache and hallucinations I’ve had for the better part of the past week. Wireless Wipes cost $US2 for 10, are fast drying, non-streaking and—most importantly—non corrosive. [ChipChick]
One of the computer accessories we’re always looking for is a good screen cleaner, which is why Moshi’s Neato is pretty great. It’s a two-part microfiber screen cleaner, with one part wiping dust and one part wiping grease and fingerprints. The back of the cleaner is a material they call “GeckoPad”, which is based on a gecko’s foot and can stick to the side of your desk, your monitor or your face for easy storage.
