Kickstarter Find: The ZenDock
The ZenDock concept is simple: by replicating ports away from your computer, it corrals your cables safely out of sight, replacing them with a single aluminum brick that attaches/detaches easily from the side of your MacBook Pro or MBP with Retina display. It’s not really a docking station in the traditional sense, it’s more of a hyper-intelligent cable manager that simplifies the chore of attaching all your peripherals to your MacBook.

Logitech Easy-Switch Bluetooth Keyboard review
It’s going to be a while before I need another Bluetooth keyboard. My iPad, iMac, and (now) Apple TV are now synched up with the Logitech Easy-Switch Bluetooth Keyboard, and switching between them is as simple as hitting a button.

For users with repetitive stress injuries (RSI) or who simply experience discomfort using a mouse all day, the Vertical Mouse 4 may provide you with relief from physical pains, though it’s likely to replace them with some software pain in the process.
