The cheapest laptop stand ever!

Title says it all really!
Sadly, doubt it would support a Macbook since Apple's laptop screens only ever bend to a 135deg angle from the front... but maybe if you add 3-4 of those wire hangers.... :P

Using iPhone in cold weather

iPhone's touchscreen only reacts to actual skin contact, so you can't use it while wearing gloves during winter. So whats the solution? Some have already opted for a pen-stylus Called Pogo which looks a little ackward attached beside the iPhone, but here's something new - a pair of gloves that actually have dots on the fingertips to help you interact with the iPhone.
Smart stuff. Doesn't seem that expensive either at US$15.

Sync gCal with iCal

Perhaps abit of an alphabet soup, but being able to merge and sync Apple's iCal with Google's gCal will be useful for me for one simple reason:
SmartTime iPhone app will soon support syncing with gCal.
This app is brilliant and easily the best productivity app I've used so far (and I've tried practically every free ToDo app on App Store!). Its dead easy to add new tasks, and rearrange them one one of three viewpoints. There's alot more functionality they could include, and I'm sure given their responses on their website forum, that they will include in future releases.
One of the requests was to sync it with either gCal or MobileMe/iCal and since Apple hasn't released the APIs for MobileMe syncing, gCal is the next best thing.

Here's the instructions on syncing on Google's webpage:
