Hello Kitty Keyboard Cleaner - You Know You Want It!

When it comes to Hello Kitty gadgets finding the best of the best is a full time job. One of my all time favorite blogs Hello Kitty Hell addresses the love hate relationship we all have with the oh-so-pink-and-fluffy icon in the best of ways. The site's editor is married to a woman that's oh-so-in-love with Hello Kitty, and thus living in his own personal Hello Kitty Hell. Regardless of his likes and dislikes, he has found something I know quite a few of you will have an opinion about: the Hello Kitty Keyboard Cleaner.

I give this one two thumbs up for function because cleaning your keyboard is never fun, but the question of whether or not such items are chic is a whole different story. For another photo, just read more

Says the HelloKittyHell editor: "Granted, computer keyboards need to be cleaned from time to time, but would anyone in their right mind (I think we have already established that Hello Kitty fanatics fall outside these parameters) really need a Hello Kitty USB computer keyboard cleaner with two different cleaning heads. But since my wife is one of those that falls outside saneness when it comes to Hello Kitty, this is what she wants next for her computer."

Sanrio, the experts of Hello Kitty gear, have just unveiled a new Hello Kitty electronic fan.

In comparison to the girl holding it, I'm going to assume that this thing is ginormous! The only way I'd sport one of these on my desk is if I couldn't breathe because of heat exhaustion or if I was Hello Kitty obsessed and already had these delightful goodies:

Not So Pretty In Pink: Women Say No To 'Girlie' Gadgets

When it comes to women and pink electronics the debate, accusations and "studies" seem unending. First the New York Times confirms that in order to appeal to women, manufacturers need to go way beyond pink (we agree!), then people start talking about the fact that women may be hardwired to prefer pink (what?!) and now we are back at square one with a study that says women routinely say no to the color.

Advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi recently polled female internet users in the UK and found that most of them believe manufacturers and retailers don't understand what they care about and don't view them as a relevant group of customers, according to Register Hardware.

On average the women polled said they spend about £321 (or $651USD) on personal technology every year. Wired got a closer look at the study and noted that only 9 percent of the women polled want products that "look feminine," like a pink Playstation or Hello Kitty keyboards. The remaining 91 percent said they like "sleek and sophisticated, more boardroom than teenage bedroom."

I'm assuming they won't be purchasing the new pink Sony "Jet Juke." And yes, I would have told them the same thing.
