Notebook Cooler, Obsidian wireless mouse
Antec is in the business of keeping computers cool (mostly their internal components), so it's no surprise to see the company in the business of notebook cooling as well. Antec's first Notebook Cooler was about the width and length of an average notebook, and would cool a notebook's bottom when plugged into a USB port.

Twisted Pair Podcast: We're not camping for our iPhone
Jason and Keith talk about the FBI's crackdown on botnets, whether Google can complain about Microsoft being a monopoly, and why they won't be camping out in front of an Apple Store on June 29. Plus: They honor Bob Barker's final show on The Price is Right with a special audio contest.
