Everybody wants a clothing line but when Microsoft starts a clothing line, you know it has less to do with making a few extra bucks than it has to do with keeping the re-branding of PC’s as cool going (I’m a PC – what?). The Softwear (what a pun, yawn) clothing line by Microsoft aims to cash in on the love of all things retro by bringing Microsoft’s early 80′s image to the forefront and with designs contributed by Chicago rapper Common, Microsoft’s search for cool points goes on.

Ever wanted to be a ninja? Me too, so when we saw these Throwing Star Magnets we knew the day had come. The Shuriken Magnets are made to look as if they are embedded into any (metal or other suitable material) surface they are attached to and apart from that, they look damn cool.

The Personal Soundtrack Shirt lets you hear the soundtrack to your life, literally. With its attached (removable) Velcro speaker, you can plug in your MP3 player and let others hear the tunes you live your life to. Whether or not they will appreciate it is another matter….

GadgetHeat Loves us some novelty gadgets from time to time and the Frying Pan Gun Egg Stencil fits the bill to a tee. If you have some kids that just hate to have eggs (I’m sure there’s some nutrients in them that the little munchkins could use), fry them a six-shooter omelette and they will be gobbling it down faster than you can say ‘draw’.

With the US economy going down the drain and Barack yet to take charge, we need something to fill the trillion-dollar gap and the Tetris and Breakout Piggy Banks may be just the things we need (well, not really but it’ll be fun trying). Both these mini-me retro Atari arcade piggy banks operate when you deposit a single penny into their slots, giving you free play of either game, and a fun way to save money.

This Sterling & Noble Star Wars Starships and Fighters Clock made from chrome steel and pewter finish models makes telling the time way more interesting. Each spaceship on the dial is unique and displays 12 vintage classic Action Fleet Micro Machine battleships and vessels.

Han Solo has always been way cooler than Luke and this Han Solo Carbonite USB Drive has moved his coolness into hyperspace. This 1GB of USB storage comes courtesy of Etsy craftsman jasonscreations and is currently sold out (although if you ask him really nice, he may just make you one).

The popular Nintendo DS game Cooking Mama just got an unwanted remix from PETA. The forthright animal activists, having not kidnapped or ambushed anybody for a while, have produced their own (illegal) version of the popular game titled – Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals.

Sotec have dropped any pretence of being one of the boys with the release of the Hello Kitty Netbook, a re-branded version of their C1 netbook. The C101K3W (as you should call it if you don’t want to embarrass yourself) is a limited edition run and only available in Japan or at on-line retailers GeekStuff4U so if you want one of these testaments to the power of branding, you better get it quick.
