Those who live in hot countries may love to have a portable air conditioner that you can bring along anywhere you go to provide you instant coolness. Here comes the Handycooler personal A/C, weights only 7 ounces, requires 4 AA batteries and costs you only $40 at Thinkgeek.
Besides the handy cooler, other nice gadgets and interesting tech news that we’ve missed this week are as follows:
2. Linux auto baby rocker – If you’re a Linux lover, look at how Lior Kaplan used an Ubuntu Linux script to make his computer CD ROM, to open and close continuously. And the CD ROM is tied to a baby rocker for rocking the baby to sleep.

I thought Ipod was the only thing that is getting small, but it seems air conditioner is following be hide.
“The fan draws air over the damp sponge, cooling it by up to 25 degrees Fahrenheit.”
I don’t see how does the air cool to 25 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s so small.
I guesses it doesn’t has the basic components like a regular air conditioner units does.
The disadvantage it take 4 double A batteries, you have to carry water, take it dirty dust and recirculate to your face with cool air.
