Comments:The Google backpack was by far the highest quality item I got at the SES expo. It is much more sporter then the current “geek pack” I am sporting around. I have a really small Sony Vaio T150 laptop so this will be perfect to tote that around along with my ipod and some other gadgets that always get me held up in airports….

Comments:Very nice. I really like boxer shorts and these are high quality. Not very good from a marketing perspective. Of course im sure all the ladies will be checking out my photo gallery of me sporting them so perhaps good marketing after all… or not.
