    50 Greatest Gadgets of the Past 50 Years

    in Gossip Café [/offtopic]

    Posted

    there is one gadget I own in the top 50 and I had it about 3 years ago and I'm still using it. :P

     

    32. Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (1999)

     

    Click to view full-size image. The first mainstream optical mouse earned its place on our list by eliminating one of computer technology's most pervasive annoyances: the accumulation of gunk inside a mechanical mouse. Optical mice actually existed long before Microsoft's groundbreaking product, but they were expensive and required special pads. The Intellimouse Explorer (and its simultaneously introduced siblings, the Intellimouse Optical and the Wheel Mouse Optical) brought gunk-free pointing devices to the great unwashed masses and their great unwashed desks (and laps, and armchairs, and many other places you'd never dream of using a mechanical mouse).

    Technology United States

    jomammy writes "According to a recent Wired article, the majority of Americans are becoming increasingly dependant on their gadgets. High speed internet seems to be the one most determined to be a 'necessity'. A third of the country is said to pay more than $200.00 a month for their addiction, where 4 out of 10 pay between $100.00 and $150.00 a month. Other items in this list of 'gadgets' include, mp3 players, dvd players, laptops, handhelds, etc." How addicted are we? How addicted are you?

    While I was in florida, I have noticed that every cop car has a laptop in; most of the time they use it for general stuff more then actual police business. :)

    every mobile phone has a EIMI number which can be blocked. No sim card will unlock it.

     

    On the old black & white display nokias the EIMI is changable (illegal, will not explain how!) also when an EIMI is blocked it only block in one country (where is has been stolen?) so they sell it in another country, I don't which country but if it was stolen from the USA it will more likeley to be Mexico or maybe Canada :afro:
