We've all seen these in use. The International Space Station guidance computer is malfunctioning and the under-pressure astronauts need to perform a complex calculation to adjust its orbital path. Do they use a Bic biro with a bitten-down end? No they do not. They use the Bullet Space Pen, selected by NASA decades ago as the Rolls Royce of performance writing implements - and still relied on today for its unrivalled performance in Zero G environments. This well-travelled, gas-powered little invention was pioneered by a team led by Paul Fisher in 1965 and is capable of working to infinity - and beyond. It works in extreme cold. (Down to minus 45 Celsius). It works in extreme heat. (Up to 120 Celsius). It works underwater. Over grease. Upside down. In fact, it flawlessly performs in some of the harshest environments so far explored by man. Precision stainless steel tungsten carbide ball points, powered by a fully pressure ink cartridge enable this design classic to write longer, cleaner and more consistently than almost any other pen. And, with the complete elimination of leaks and evaporation, it will happily sit at your desk for a century - and outlive you, Neil, Buzz and the entire astronaut corps. When you need to write on, write on with the pen that's right on. And make your point - with a Bullet.

The Kodak EasyShare M1073 IS is a 10.2-megapixel point-and-shoot. While we've seen some scorching-hot cameras from Kodak in recent months, the blocky M1073 doesn't quite inspire the same kind of love at first sight. It does have a good 69mm LCD, optical image stabilisation and face detection, though
