What do you do with your iPod’s earbuds when you’re not using them? Wind them around something in hopes that they won’t get tangled?
What do you do with your cell phone’s sync cord? Stuff it into a carry-on pocket, hoping it won’t get knotted around your hairbrush?
And what do you do with your laptop’s plug? Stick it into your laptop case, knowing it will ultimately get caught on every other gizmo in there?
Of course, tangled, knotted and caught up in everything else is exactly how they end up, and you have to waste many minutes trying to de-tangle everythingif you even can. If this sounds familiar, we have found a few solutions (available at Cableorganizer.com), to help you make sense of your favorite toys’ add-ons.
The folks who created the earPod (left) say that it was created by iPod users for iPod users. Well, I’m here to tell you that anyone who uses earbud-style headphones for any portable player will love the earPod. Closed, the earPod looks like a white plastic spool; however, one side of the spool rotates open to expose a compartment big enough to hold your earbuds.
You simply wrap your earbud cable around the earPod, snake the bodies of the earbuds into the center compartment, and then close the case. Your earbuds are neatly stored for travel. (Full disclosure: an earPod currently resides in my gym bag, taking care of my prized Etymotic 6i Isolator headphones, which have been tangle-free since purchasing the earPod.)
Another stylish answer, the Cableyoyo,(right) is also a must-have for any gadgets and gizmos junkie. Recently dubbed “the paperclip of the new millennium,” Cableyoyo offers true functional practicality as well as a minimal yet aesthetically balanced form, showing promise as the next hot desk accessory mainstay for the 21st century.
Cableyoyo efficiently stores up to 6 feet of cord on a single, flat plane, keeping wires manageable and out of the way. It is intended for stationary as well as mobile use as it can be mounted to any fixed location and is extremely light and compact for travel. Cableyoyo can easily hide behind desks, monitors, or file cabinets, but the sleek, streamlined design calls for placement in plain sight.
Charge cords, however, aren’t so dainty that they would necessarily fit neatly into the earPod or Cableyoyo. For this, there’s the effective and colorful Cable Turtle (left and below right). Available in nine colors for the fashion conscious crowd, and two sizes3

Personal computer (PC) microphones are one of the computer accessories, which enable video conferencing, Internet chat, etc. They are plug-in-components and can be easily attached to computers. PC microphones make use of sound cards, which amplifies the signals from microphone. PC microphones are reasonably priced and ranges from $10 to $60. These microphones are connected to the computers using cords with various lengths and one has to purchase considering the length of the wire keeping in mind the purpose. Powered mics are used in PCs as they generate strong signals.
Unidirectional mics or omni directional mics may be used in PCs. Unidirectional mics pick up sound waves from a single direction and omni directional mics pick up sound waves from varied directions. The features to be noted before going in for a purchase are accuracy of these sound cards, noise filter options, comfort of the headsets, the length of the cords, and the mountability of the mic on the monitor.
There are two types of PC microphones based on the way they are connected to the computers. They may be connected to sound cards or to Universal Serial Bus (USB). The quality of recording and audio output varies depending on the type of mic selected. When sound cards are used, the recording process is done within the computer itself. The quality of recording is not good in this method, because of the internal noise caused by the computers. When the mics are connected to PC’s by USB, the recording is done externally and this serves as an advantage regarding the quality of the recording. The process of recording is free from the internal noise of computers and so high quality recording is made possible. Before purchasing and installing a particular type of mics, many things have to be taken into consideration. They must support any future technological improvements.
