The main event is over. Hollywood has finished patting themselves on their backs and let us know who they think is better than us! I know I may sound a little bitter, but this has nothing to do with my annoyance of celebrity following and worship rather than people living their own lives, but instead the taste of defeat in my mouth. You see this now marks my second year in a row losing in my Oscar pool that I do with a few friends. Not only did I lose, but I must face the tormentuous gloating of one friend in particular.

I know what you’re expecting; a long list of gadgets, sports cars and other over-priced material wonders. We could post up a list of iPhones and plasma screens, but thought this list we stumbled upon was perfect. The crew over at The Consumerists compiled a list of actually useful items that you couldn’t have survived 2007 without. Don’t worry we won’t spoil the product that topped the list for you.
