Shakira's mantra doesn't always hold true with technology (who hasn't battled WiFi, a cell signal or less than logical download?), but most toolbar plugins offer sweet simplicity and easy access to the tools you need no matter where your surfing habits lead you.

The Google Toolbar 5 for Internet Explorer or Firefox puts a custom button to Gmail at your fingertips. You won't have to keep a window open and refresh it obsessively because you can get new message alerts, see previews of your mail and use Toolbar's search box to find any message no matter what page you're on.

I usually don't wear my geek on my shirt, sleeve or ears, but the puns on the cheery tees from Loyal Army, which has a flagship store in San Francisco and an almost as robust online store, are too adorable and punny to ignore.

I am torn between the OMG design covered in IM-speak, Guitar Hero, which has a guitar and hero sandwich (get it!), and this cute My Game Is Classic theme. They are all $19.50.

Naturally, since long-distance lovers Jim and Pam from The Office have already conquered video chat to keep-in-touch, why not take it to the next level with the world's tiniest Bluetooth earpiece?

In this funny clip, you'll see Pam showing off her latest tech purchase — a Bluetooth earpiece — which she found in a Japanese gadget store. Later in the show, Dwight notices that Jim is wearing one and says, "Is that the Matsahasi B400D, the world's tiniest bluetooth?" He couldn't stop staring in adoration and wanted to touch it. I wonder if it will re-appear in this week's episode?!

If you're both unsatisfied with the variety of iPhone cases out there and sorely miss the days when you used to color your problems away, then you should check out Hurley's DIY iPhone Case ($32).

It's not exactly do-it-yourself, as the name brags, but it is color-it-yourself.

I want a blank white one I can put my own doodles all over, but still, not a bad idea, Hurley.
