Panic button lets you pretend to be working as you surf DVICE

Do you sit at a computer in your cubicle all day, ears perked up listening for oncoming unexpected visitors? Even if you're one of the many office workers who wastes company time poking around on Ebay, YouTube or Dvice.com, the last thing you would want is for the boss to walk in just as you're placing your last second bid for that rare mint condition Pet Rock on Ebay.

This USB stress panic button could provide an answer, replacing whatever you're looking at with one of three screen savers. The only problem is that it first goes through a five second countdown, and then only one of the screen saver options looks even remotely like actual work. If only you could set it to instantly display whatever project you're really supposed to be working on.
