logiharm.jpgTiger Direct has the Logitech Harmony 550 universal remote control for a cheap $69.99. We've got one of these ourselves, so we can safely say that it's the most cost and time-effective way to control your entertainment system if you've got a bunch of devices. The best part is probably "activities," which turns on and off different units in tandem according to activities you set like "watching TV" or "watching DVDs."

showerfloss.jpgFlossing sucks. I tell my dentist I floss, but I really don't, because I hate flossing. Using a waterpik is a nice alternative to flossing, but I'm not the kind of guy who goes out and buys fancy appliances for my mouth. This, however, could change that: the ShowerFloss. Attach it in your shower behind your showerhead and add your gums to the list of body parts you clean in the shower. It comes with two different colored piks so you and your significant other can share the bounty of healthy gums, and it'll set you back a mere $25. Your dentist will be so proud! [Book of Joe]

sli_alx_system.jpgIf tying two video cards together in an SLI configuration doesn't quite get you the frames-per-second you need, NVIDIA's just intrduced three-way SLI, which does exactly what it sounds like. Now you can use their nForce 680i SLI motherboard to tie together tres GeForce 8800 GTX or 8800 Ultras to give a 2.8X boost over just using a single card—so you will be able to play Crysis at something more than the "slideshow" configuration.

You canget your own pre-built three-way SLI on the ALienware Area-51 ALX SLI, but will cost $4999 with an overclocked quad-core inside. Not to bitch about the state of PC gaming too much, but when you need three SLI cards to run something on "high" graphics (the way the developer intended), isn't that prohibitively expensive—especially compared with a PS3 or Xbox where you can just plug and go?

zunepink.jpgAmazon's got the pink 8GB Zune on sale for $157, which translates into $165 w/ shipping. The sorta catch is that it's from a third-party retailer, but since they're selling through Amazon, you shouldn't have to worry about anything shady going down. If pink's not your party, the other colors are from Amazon itself going for $185, which is a bit of a discount. [Amazon]

love_boat_WiMax.jpgEven though national WiMax deployment's on sorta shaky ground, Intel's got money invested so by god it's full speed ahead on hardware. They've got a new chippie that has circuitry for vanilla Wi-Fi, WiMax and DVB-H digital TV. (The DVB-H support's kind of useless on this side of the pond, though.) The neat thing about it beyond that the all-in-one dealio is that it's designed for seamless switching between Wi-Fi and WiMax and is proof of concept for a class of chimerical software-defined radios that could mix in a whole mess of standards, like CDMA, GSM and whatever else is in the bucket. Will it blend? Yes. [Electronics Weekly via /.]
