Replacementdocs is a site offering nothing but game manuals - and lots of it. This might be especially useful for people buying used games from eBay or budget titles, which often miss the full documentation that came with the retail title.

I love structuring my ideas and thoughts with mind maps. Freemind is a great freeware tool to build mind maps at the computer. Now it looks like there is a serious contender: IHMC Cmap Tools is a software to construct, navigate, share and criticize knowledge models represented as concept maps. I have not tried it so far, but it seems to add collaborative features to the mind map/concept map idea, which might come in handy when several persons are working on a project. It’s on my long list of software to check out. If anyone has tried it already, feel free to comment on this post.
This has got to be the most unusual USB memory stick I have seen so far.

Sony recently introduced the MDR-NC50 noise cancelling headphones, which are able to detect low frequency white noise (20-1500hz) from jet engines, subway trains or server fans and create an opposite sound wave that cancels out those noises. According to Sony, these headphones can reduce unwanted noise by up to 80 percent. At the 300hz level the noise reduction is said to be at 14db.

Paper Starships is a great site for Star Wars/Star Trek nerds with some time to spare. They have an assortment of detailed paper starship models there, be it from Babylon 5, Star Trek or even the German Raumpatrouille Orion. The sheets can be printed and then cut out, folded and assembled.
