We're only 85 away from threshold. Did some entity make some kind of mass purchase of these within the last 48 hours? The next product to hit threshold will be this one. :) w00t!

I'm old enough to qualify for a full dose of prescription SlangIt, but my doctor said the side-effects would make someone my age completely unintelligible. So I stick with a half dose and frequent over-the-counter Urban Dictionary. Good to know Quirky can not only make me money, but keep me young and happenin'. <-- And yes, I know that word is know longer happenin' itself. Thanks for clearing that up, Ethan and SparkBugg.

Is that it's main functionality? Or is it supposed to STAY in FRONT of your monitor? Thanks!!

So, like Tila Tequila, it could go both ways. Well, there is “raking” it in (it being cash or orders), and “racking” them up (them being numbers units sold) .

I am seriously going to pre-order one. Wondering why you didn't put the usb cable on the opposite side since iMacs have all their ports on the right? Just an inquiry, not at all knocking the cool esthetics of this Apple-esque product. Well done! This is pretty awesome… I am seriously going to pre-order one.

I thought the UV light suggestion was interesting as well. Maybe a future high end version? I'm just not quite sure that UV is a sure-proof method of killing germs and bacteria. Although, a light would still be cool. Thanks again everyone! Thanks to Chris Leiter for informing me about the listing on Engadget!
