Cool Hunting
With the glut of devices comes an abundance of cleaning products tailored to each, adding unnecessarily to our already cluttered lives. SurfaceClean, a new solution due out this September, makes it simple with one product suitable for keeping all technology, from phones and plasmas to eyeglasses and earbuds, ship-shape.
Made without alcohol or ammonia, it won't drip or leave streaks on screens and it's still tough enough to clean layers of grime off laptop keyboards without damaging delicate components. (Do make sure to spray the solution on the microfiber directly; in concentrated form it could discolor some surfaces.)
SurfaceClean comes in a few different forms, but the simplest way to go is the self-contained bottle—a pill-shaped design that conceals a microfiber cloth in one end and the spray tip in the other—also an easy way to stay organized.
For the fussy (that includes yours truly), the Detailing Cleaner Swabs are a particularly ingenious way to get into small places that are tricky to clean with cloths. Breaking off the end of a small vial filled with multi-purpose cleaning solution releases the fluid to the tip for a no-fuss way to clean corners and crevices.

Green Plug is a new company working to alleviate the huge and unnecessary energy demands created by our increasing numbers of gadgets. There's so much wrong with the current model of consumer electronics' power supplies, it's hard to know where to begin. Plugged in, they suck power even if the device itself is off; they're often made of cheap, components that are very inefficient;...
Bluelounge just announced their latest antidote to desktop clutter. Dubbed the SpaceStation, it’s a clever fix for those of use with mobile offices. Essentially, they’ve distilled the best elements of their earlier products into a single system. An extended USB hub contains internal coils for wire management. This floats slightly above the desk surface, allowing cords to poke out where required. The hub also...

From the designers whose Cableyoyo device helped make unruly cables a little more manageable, Cool Feet are a compact set of four peg-legs that help make laptops less hot, more ergonomic, and less prone to damage furniture. Attaching via a suction cup (non-iBooks require the included glossy, clear adhesive dots), the silver feet can be easily removed for transport or re-configuration. Three different set-ups—using...
You may remember the retro-chic Hulger PIP that we covered back in November 2005, and you might have also caught their fresh new Penelope Base over in Spear-land the other day, but what you haven't seen is the PIP Base, the latest Hulgarisation due to launch next week that's a CH exclusive. Cop a Bluetooth version or go wired—which simply means you'll either plug...
