Maybe you thought the PC-bashing products on Friday were a little harsh. Well, ridicule is a two-way street, and of course there are products that also bash Apple.
Naturally, someone somewhere made one of those Calvin-peeing-on-Apple decals — but for something a bit more palatable, check out these funny goods, many of which have to do with the spinning ball of death (the closest Mac equivalent of the PC blue screen of death), like this button ($1).

Looking for a subtle and sweet way to showcase your Apple love without having to pin a colorful logo on your shirt or sleeve? Double or triple your dose of apples each day by covering your iPod, iPhone, or laptop with a fresh and fruity printed case or tote.
This Little Apple Sunshine Pouch ($8) wasn't designed specifically for gizmos, but it would make a fetching combined iPod, iPhone, and lip gloss pouch.

If you can't get enough Space Invader clothing, food, or household items, then add this alarm clock to the top of your must-have list. The Invader Alarm Clock ($40) combines one of your favorite things (Space Invaders), and one thing you hate the most (waking up in the a.m.) in a totally retro-geek package.
When your alarm goes off, the invaders come down from space to conquer your clock.

It's not easy to keep USB cords in order, but the 88 percent of you who like creative organizers will probably agree this USB multiplug ($16) looks like it could help.
The device was designed by Theo Williams and features three sockets and four LED lights to denote connectivity. I like that it airs on the subtle side of cord management and doesn't involve a complicated wall mount or cartoon-like coverage.

Being the photography nerd that I am, I instantly fell in love with this unique lamp. It's not just any ordinary lamp, it's a light table for photo slides! How cool (and totally geeky) is that?!

I'm obviously a big fan of the Flip Video camera because of its portability and simple video uploading functions. My YouTube page has never been easier to populate! And of course, since the Flip was first on the scene, there are bound to be challengers pop up with improved capabilities.

I know it seems like common sense, but if you are looking to save energy and money, plug your gadgets into a power strip with a circuit breaker so you have the ability to flip the switch off instead of draining energy. I suggest hooking up devices like your TV and DVR or TiVo to one strip (so they can stay on and record all your favorite shows), but keep everything else on strips that can be turned off whenever you leave the house for an extended period of time.
There's a neat site called MyGreenElectronics that offers a simple energy calculator so you can guesstimate what your electronic use means for your wallet by the minute, day, month, and year.

Geeks are a different breed altogether: We know that there are some things in life that aren't really essential, but are a must-have — whether it be for street cred, bragging rights, or we were just wooed by the fantastic out of sheer boredom.
You know what I mean. So I've rounded up my favorite pointless and useless geek accessories that have graced the pages of geeksugar that you just can't resist.

I have been semi-obsessed with oversized, clunky and illogical camera phones ever since I saw the "Mugged" episode of Flight of the Conchords where Jemaine's handmade camera phone (it's literally a camera and phone taped together) gets taken by a street thug. This Canon camera phone is even more fantastic because it combines a spectacular camera with a rotary phone base. Cause everyone needs a rotary phone that can capture images within cord distance, right?
