SlingBox

A gadget that streams your cable box to your computer.

Ever wanted to watch television not on a television? The typical response is probably a shrug, but this gadget has managed to gather a large fansite following. It should totally come in handy in emergency situations, like if you're at the airport with your laptop and missing an episode of "Lost."
