New iPod Nano With Multi-Touch
The Nano has always been a favorite among fitness fanatics, and with the new upgrades it's an even better tool. Apple has incorporated multi-touch on the 1.5" display, FM radio, 24 hours of audio playback, and a useful clip previously found only on the Shuffle. The rotating display is ideal for viewing what's playing when you have it clipped on your shorts or armband. My first generation Nano kept digging into my love handles whenever I tried to flip it upside down to see the display. Retail $149-179 (available in a 8GB and 16GB model)
TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter
Earlier this summer PGA Tour Player Justin Rose used the Ghost to win the Memorial. During interviews all he could say was he putted "scary good." What a funny guy. The new Rossa Corza Ghost was designed with input from vision experts. They concluded that a white mallet would provide the most contrast with the green putting surface. While the top three alignment lines and leading edge help you square up to your line. This is the first mallet design I've seen in awhile that makes me want to take it for spin. Scotty would not be happy. Retail $159

"This fabric is so cool because we made it with A-Girls in Wakayama, Japan by spinning the yarn at 20 times the speed of what other yarns are spun, which gives it a smooth surface appearance, a non-pilling quality, and a slight fade in color between the cotton and polyester through long term wash and wear."

The front seat headrests also incorporate monitor screens and the Mercedes COMAND system can be controlled with the iPads. A 64-gigabyte iPod touch stores music for the entire cabin to hear."

Gmail Undo Send Feature
"I hate you", "I quit", and "I slept with your wife" are email subjects we have all sent based on impulsive decisions or misinformation. Google Labs has an "Undo Send" feature that provides a 30 second window where you can cancel a sent email. Basically a Tivo 30 second rewind for real life.
To enable 'Undo Send':
1. Log in to Gmail and go to Google Labs. If you've never gone to Labs before, click the word "more" in the very top left corner, then scroll down and click "even more."
2. In the column on the right, click "Labs." It's next to the icon of a beaker filled with green stuff.
3. Click "Gmail Labs" in the column on the right.
4. Scroll down almost all the way to the bottom until you see "Undo Send." Click "enable" and the feature is now on. Then scroll the rest of the way down and look in the bottom left corner for the "Save Changes" box. Click it.
5. Now, go back to the main Gmail page and click "Settings" in the top right. You should also see your green Labs beaker icon there now -- this will let you go straight to Labs from now on.
6. Scroll down to "Undo Send" -- it should be right above "My Picture." Your default should be set to 10 seconds. But you can use the drop-down bar to stretch that to 30 seconds.
7. Scroll down and hit "Save Changes."
8. To undo an email, just look for the box at the top of the screen that will have the words "Your message has been sent." After that, you should see the "Undo" option. Click that and you'll be sent back to the e-mail's draft form, where you'll have 30 seconds to edit or delete it before it goes out.
