All I’ve got to say is: isn’t this Lego mouse cute? Oh yeah, it is definitely twelve levels of cute, but is it comfortable on the hand?

We’ll you can try it out by spending $32 for this mouse with the left and right mouse buttons, a scroll wheel, and optical sensor.

I don’t know if it can work with other Lego blocks, but I’m guessing no.

Considering that Verizon is taking pot shots at AT&T for their spotty coverage, there is a free app available for iPhone users that addresses this issue. Essentially, if you encounter a dropped call, coverage gap, or other network problem, then you can contact “611″ to attempt to resolve the issue.

Of course, you have to be able to make a phone call where you are, right? Yeah, I’m thinking that this is just a way for AT&T to counter that claim by Verizon. Let’s hope they listen.

Start with something simple. Recon Instruments has some cool tech made for skiing.

And underwater glider from Rutgers University has just crossed the Atlantic Ocean.

Here’s a weird one: a clock that can draw its own hands. Yeah, it’s weird, it’s cool, and creepy.

For those that have elderly to take care of, you might want to consider MobileHelp.

Bolt Browser 1.6 (suggested for BlackBerrys) is now available.

Motorola working on a phone called La Jolla, which could have some interesting things, as well as Android.

Here’s an interesting MP3 Player that comes with its own treads. Enter the Mint Robot Music Tank.

An Australian computer known as the Acer Aspire Timeline 1820PT is coming to the United States.

Here’s an interesting PMP for the DJers out there. Still a concept, for now.

Speaking of concepts, you should see this Melody Balloon that allows your MP3 player to float over your head.

Quentin Taratino does a Japanese cell-phone ad. I’m not kidding, watch it here.

YoGen is an interesting new way of charging mobile devices.

I’m not certain why, but some company has a gold plated 3D camera known as the DV&PLAYERx5.

Some people at Belgium’s Hasselt University has designed the Twoddler, it is one of those activity boards with the spinning dials, bells, and whatnot that links to the baby’s Twitter account.

That’s right, so when the baby hits something, it sends an automatic message. Now, can a baby communicate this way? Perhaps if they see a photo of a parent, and hit the photo, maybe.

Does this show that a baby is missing us? I don’t know, honestly. I’m not certain you should try and get a baby to tweet. I mean, what is next, turning a rattler into a mobile phone? How about Facebook on the activity board.

I think you may remember when I reported on the War between Verizon and AT&T. It is getting into epic Star Wars and Lord of the Rings scale.

After the jump are two vids that show how bad it is getting. Keep in mind, that they are not the only commercials that are playing.

I don’t know about you, but I use a lot of USB ports on my computer for charging. I suppose that this is why a company known as TruePower has created a power outlet with two USB ports along with the plug-ins.

You won’t be able to get this now, but it should be available in early 2010 from FastMac. Makes you wonder what is next as far as updates for the home.
