In moments of gadget-related frustration, some people calm themselves with a mantra: "Become one with the technology". But what if you really could become one with the technology?

This week we take a flight of fancy to Imaginationville, where humans are capable of turning themselves into hybrid devices. Just ponder it: instead of fumbling for a phone in your bag or searching for that missing USB cable to hook up a printer, you could get things done by lifting a panel in your forearm. Clever, efficient and not at all disturbing. Sort of.

      Linksys WVC54GCA Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera

      Wi-Fi cameras for home security ought to be a no-brainer, and at this price, the Linksys pretty much is. We just wish it worked seamlessly cross-browser, and took better pictures.

      D-Link DNS-343

      The DNS-343 is the natural evolution of the DNS-323 — a four-drive NAS that's quite good indeed.

      Microsoft Wireless Media Desktop 1000

      Microsoft's Wireless Media Desktop 1000 will provide you with a perfectly capable wireless mouse and keyboard for a more reasonable price than its competition. We just wish Microsoft would give more thought to the design and overall feel of its hardware.

      Logitech Cordless Desktop S520

      It's hard to get too excited about Logitech's basic Cordless Desktop S520, but on close inspection, a few design elements help it stand out. If you typically find keyboard hot keys a good idea that's poorly implemented, we think you'll like this mostly well-designed mouse and keyboard set.

      Microsoft LifeCam Show

      The Microsoft LifeCam Show offers improvement over Microsoft's previous laptop webcam, but Logitech still has the laptop webcam to beat.
