Gboard saves time

Can't get enough of Gmail and use it constantly? Presenting Gboard, a USB keyboard that gives you one touch access to the most useful and common Gmail features. Simply plug it in, flip on the keyboard shortcuts in Gmail, and you're on your way to saving valuable time. The Gboard has buttons for 19 of the most-used functions in Gmail. Select multiple messages and star, archive, spam or trash them. Within a couple hours, you'll be so used to it that you'll be able to use it without looking, saving even MORE time! What are you going to do with all that time you save? Interact with other humans in the "real world"?

Puzzle-inspired lighting

The Rubik's Cube Lamp is an innovative project based on the popular toy from the eighties created by Eric Pautz. The lamp is just like the popular game and the rotation of each face of the main cube allows the arrangement of up to 43 quintillion different combinations from its initial 26 coloured cubes, each one providing different lighting. Of course, once you mix it up, you'll probably never be able to get it back to its original state; it's not like you can peel the stickers and re-stick them on like with the original toy!

Jargon Buster

mouselexia

The inability to use a mouse correctly. Some people are naturally "mouselexic", while others are struck with mouselexia only when an IT guru is looking over their shoulder!

What is...?

Cloud computing

You're probably already using cloud computing services without realizing it. Every web application that you've ever used, like Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Hotmail, Dropbox, is based on "cloud computing". The 'cloud' is simply the internet or the vast array of servers around the world that comprise it. When a digital document is stored or a digital task is being performed "in the cloud", it mean that the file or application lives on a server you access over an net connection via a web browser or app. Think of it as 'borrowing' online software instead of having to install memory-hogging applications and software on your devices.
