you might get odd looks putting
them on, but these silver-lined
"shocking socks" purport to
stave off deep vein
thrombosis � DVT. They work
by carrying a regular electric
pulse to stimulate the calf
muscles, ensuring the veins
pump the blood regularly
around the lower leg
and stop blood
and fluid
pooling in the
lower limbs.

The fastest-selling
camcorder on amazon.com
last year, the Flip Ultra is
tough enough to survive
pretty much any
business trip and is
simple enough to be
used by the most
technophobic of
people. Perfect
for easily
recording video
messages and
e-mailing or
capturing
meetings in
full.

The Buffalo Wireless-G Omni Directional Adapter
attaches to the back of any laptop screen or any
flat surface with its suction pads. It features a
built-in multi-directional high gain antenna,
providing better coverage in wireless hot spots,
allowing laptop users to sit far from the
madding crowd huddled near the access point.

It's hard enough keeping your
possessions secure when
travelling without worrying about
your laptop. The Yoggie
Gatekeeper Pico plugs into a
laptop to provide an armoury of
security barricades that block
spam, viruses and phishing �
vital if you're not convinced that
hotel connection you're using is
really secure. All internet
traffic is routed through the
device so that it acts like a
bodyguard taking the blows
when attacks are incoming,
and because the software is
running on the device itself, it
won't affect your computer's
performance.
