Here's a great way to tick off that old fogey teacher: Get one of these Mead binders with built-in speakers when it's released just in time for back-to-school shopping this September. Just plug that iPod or any other music player into its input jack, spread out its two satellites and you can disrupt the entire schoolhouse. Gee, thanks, said the schoolmarm.

To further raise a ruckus, Mead, whose Trapper Keeper was once a friend of teachers everywhere, will further antagonize educators in September with a line of speaker-packing backpacks. No music fanboy left behind. Tunes blaring wall to wall? This'll be about as popular with the faculty as that music-playing, cellphone-hiding backpack that rocked the back-to-school experience last fall. Then again, maybe these things could be useful after all: Schoolkids will learn how to study in a college dorm. — Charlie White
