The booq Boa nerve L ($150 – with included laptop sleeve) is a real beast of a bag: it weighs about five pounds before you even put anything in it, and its main compartment is big enough to fit a 17” laptop, and then some. BIG TIME STORAGE The Boa …

Before I talk about the actual design of the Smartfish Whirl Laser Mouse ($49.95), I wanted to give a tip of the hat to the team at Smartfish for coming up with a comfortable shell that doesn’t look like it came out of Doctor Caligari’s cabinet. HARDWARE The Whirl is …

[Alfred is still technically in beta, but it's so ridiculously solid that I've reviewed it as though it were a final release.] Alfred isn’t the only productivity app on Mac OS X, but I think it’s the most delightful one by a long shot. Maybe it’s the playful colour scheme …
