Card games have certainly come a long way since their early inception, and they have gotten more and more complex along the way. Take Magic: The Gathering for example, that is the bottomless money pit for Richard Garfield and Wizards of the Coast, but don’t you wish that life was a whole lot more simple sometimes? Enter the $9.99 CPU Wars Trump Card Game, where this is a fun trump game by computer geeks, and was specially created for computer geeks – who else do you think it might be for? Volume 1.0 boasts 30 CPUs which had the greatest impact on desktop history, and all the relevant specs for each CPU are printed on each card, where you choose the category that you think your card has the highest value, and then reveal it alongside your opponent’s.

Sony Alpha NEX-F3 Gets Official
We have already seen some leaked photos of the new Sony Alpha NEX-F3, it is now official and it comes with an APS-C size image sensor with 16.1 effective megapixels.
The Sony Alpha NEX-F3 features a 3 inch TFT LCD display with a 921k dot resolution and it can tilt upwards around 180 degrees, it also comes with a built in pop up flash.
The pocket-sized NEX-F3 features the same space-saving mirrorless design as other cameras in the α E-mount family. Far bigger than sensors found in point-and-shoot compacts, the 16.1 effective megapixel Exmor™ APS HD CMOS sensor captures more light for flawless, low-noise stills and crisply detailed Full HD video (50i/25p). Just like traditional DSLR cameras, it’s easy to create beautiful defocus effects with your subject focused sharply against a smoothly blurred background.
The NEX-F3 can record 1080p video at 25 frames per second, and it features an ISO range of 200 to 16,000, it will go on sale in the US in June for $599.

When it comes to decorating one’s house, finding the right kind of bits and pieces can be quite challenging. However, if you are the fun loving type who wants something different, here is the $15.99 Bubbles Soap Dish that might just fool some people into trying to wash it away, until they realize that it is a soap dish instead of actual soap bubbles. The Bubbles Soap Dish is large enough to be able to hold most standard sized soaps, and it can also accommodate a sponge to clean and scrub you down after a particularly hard day at the office, or a vigorous session at the gym.
Maybe You Touched Your Genitals Hand Sanitizer
Hand sanitizers became all the rage with the outbreak of SARS around a decade ago, not to mention the bird flu virus after that and other sorts of easily communicable diseases. I have always wondered about one thing though – assuming one washes their nether regions with each bath time, aren’t they supposed to be clean, so much so that after paying a visit to the toilet, the only way our hands get dirty would be when we take a dump or touch a tap that was used by someone else who just let go a few logs. Some others feel that the private bits aren’t too clean, which is why the £4.99 Maybe You Touched Your Genitals Hand Sanitizer is always a hoot to offer to people.
Kensington unveils KeyFolio Keyboard Security Case & Lock for iPad 2
Kensington has unveiled a new accessory for the iPad 2 that will help keep the tablet safe and secure in public environments. The new case is called the Kensington KeyFolio Secure and it uses the security cable and lock that Kensington has been famous for making for years.
This particular case is built specifically for the iPad 2 and has integrated Bluetooth keyboard that can be removed. The case features an integrated security anchor and ClickSafe lock to protect the iPad from theft. The case also has a loophole for a stylus or pen.
The case leaves all ports and controls for the iPad open and easy access including the 30-pin docking connector. The keyboard connects to the iPad via Bluetooth and when closed the keyboard case protects the screen of the iPad from damage. Pricing is unknown at this time, but Kensington’s cases generally range from about $60 up to around $100.
Apple Granted a Patent for a Steering Wheel Mounted Remote Control
I have seen more than a few things over the years that have remote controls mounted to the steering wheel of a car. Honestly, I never liked any of those. I don’t think the steering wheel is a place for accessories to be mounted personally. Apple was granted a new patent this week that covers a steering wheel mounted remote control for the iPod and iPhone.
It looks like this patent was filed for a long time ago judging by the line art because the remote looks like something from several years back. I would imagine the design would be a little sleeker if it were produced today. The remote is designed to control the music on an iPod connected to a car’s audio system and gives forward/back and pause/play functions along with what appears to be a menu key.
It looks like device attaches to the steering wheel with a simple clip. I could see people catching their hand on this in an emergency and having issues or see it flying off the airbag deployed and hurting someone in the car.

Sonic 4: Episode II first available for Tegra 3 on mobile, before iOS
Many of you have been waiting for Sonic 4: Episode II. In fact it is one of the most anticipated games for a mobile device. Well, it’s finally here, and Nvidia Tegra 3 has it exclusively. At least for a short time. You can buy the game on the Nvidia Tegra Zone for $6.99, and it should keep you busy for a while since it is a fun game and looks amazing.
iOS dominates the app world, so it is interesting that Sonic 4: Episode II arrives on Tegra a few days before it arrives for the iPhone and iPad. It will most likely be a few weeks until the app appears for other devices on Google Play. Whatever the reason, it is great news for Tegra users.
Playing this on Tegra tablets should be pretty similar to playing on a PS3 or Xbox. The graphics are amazing.
