The Laptop Burka: Seriously?

Sep 22 2009, 5:01pm CDT | by Robert Evans

Some products stand out because they are completely innovative, bringing features previously unimagined to the table and wowing consumers the world over. Other products are stand out because they have an utterly ridiculous name. I think you can all guess which category the Laptop Burka falls into. Ludicrous name aside, the Laptop Burka is a pretty cool product. It keeps the sun's glare off of your laptop at the comparatively small cost of making you look silly.

Today, the Laptop Burka company has announced the launch of an addition to their product line. The Geek Sheet. As far as I can tell, the Geek Sheet is virtually the same as the Laptop Burka, only with a different name. The main difference is the color; the Geek Sheet is white with a dark interior, which was done to reflect sunlight and provide a cooler work environment. The name "Geek Sheet" is also less controversial than "Laptop Burka".

Price and release date aren't out yet, but the original Laptop Burka costs $16.95. You can expect the Geek Sheet to total within a few dollars of that.
