So there are plenty of gadgets and gizmos designed to make giving presentations easier, but do any look as cute as this!? And no, it’s not because it’s pink (it actually comes in much better shades, like blue, silver and green too).

The Genius Ring doesn’t just allow you to toggle through presentations either, you can move a cursor around the screen and operate other programs too, all just with the ring. It works with a built-in laser pointer, meaning you can be up to ten metres away from any screen or board and it’ll still work accurately.

First, everyone had a web site. Now, everyone has an app. Even your diamond has an app, that is, if it’s the Forevermark, the diamond brand from the De Beers Group of Companies.(“Forevermark: the Promise” is available for download in the Lifestyle section of the Apple App Store.)

We were curious about the app – would you “build” your own diamond? – but it turns out it’s the journey of the diamond from mine where it is unearthed, all the way through cutting, polishing, and jewelry design.

USB sticks are so handy, but no matter what clips they come with, or where you keep them you’re guaranteed to lose one at least once a month.

This is why we love the LOOPO, a neat little USB device that comes with a small clasp, allowing you to clip it onto pretty much everything!

So where would you keep yours? Diary, necklace, keys?

(We’re not sure, but it’s probably for one of his children.) In what other country can you shop shoulder to shoulder with the leader of the free world? (Ok, so there were tons of secret service people around, unless the staff at Best Buy has taken to wearing suits and earpieces.)
