It's getting cold, and winter is officially here. To warm ourselves up this week we checked out some dorky USB slippers and an even dorkier USB eye heater. We also checked out some new, faster ways of zipping data around that should make life easier in the coming years; namely, Kleer wireless technology and next-gen Ethernet. Meanwhile, in Shift we mourned the imminent death of physical media formats. Here's a look a some of our other top posts this week:
