STAR WARS LIGHTSABER REPLICA
If lightsabers got any more realistic than this
glowing replica for spoiled kids (complete with
motion-activated sound effects), we’d have torn
the office—and each other—to shreds by now.
The first time you see the beam extend from the
base to a full-fledged saber, you’ll turn to the
Dark Side just to get one.

IGO PORTABLE AC ADAPTER
The iGo EverywherePower 3500 liberates
pilgrims from that nasty nest of cables
and chargers, allowing you to rejuve-
nate all your devices—phone, PDA, and
laptop—on the go from a single power
source. You can even charge two items at
once: Is there a more romantic gesture
than leaning over to your traveling com-
panion on a starry night and offering to
share your AC adapter? $70 (tips sold
separately), http://www.igo.comICELINK
Let’s face it—even the best iPod
FM transmitter can be a pain in the
butt. Trade up to the IceLink, which
connects the line output from your
iPod directly to your car’s CD-
changer control. Not only does the
IceLink charge your iPod, it also
lets you control your iPod from
your car stereo! $250 (price var-
ies based on car model),

Sean “Puffy” Combs’
diamond-encrusted
iPod may be somewhat
over your budget, but
geek bling is still within
reach. These pendants
from James Hakola
dangle the great icons of
arcade classics—Space
Invaders, Tanks, et al—
from a 30 inch chain. As
Hakola puts it, “These
are dog tags for the
videogame war
zone!” Puffy would
approve.

FIREFLY PC REMOTE

and nothing helps as much as the Firefly, a single PC hardware remote for all your
media applications, elvish or otherwise. Kick back, pop open a brew, and blast your
MP3s until someone throws a spangly boot at you. $50, http://www.snapstream.comDECEMBER 2004 MA XIMUMPC 49
