Do you know the current core temperature of your computer’s CPU, the going rate for mooncloth in WOW and the current software rev of your iPod? Yes? Ahh… but do you know how long that salsa you’re about to eat has been moldering in your fridge for? The DaysAgo Refrigerator Timer helps you to answer these types of low-tech perplexing questions in the high-tech straightforward manner you are accustomed to. Simply stick this button-sized timer onto any newly-opened food based item you would like monitor. Push the button, and the LCD display starts counting down the number of days it’s been sitting. It’s a simple but genius concept. Two timers come in a pack so you’ll be sure to have enough to monitor all the amateur science experiments in your fridge.

These days there are many devices that allow you to do your computing while still being mobile, but you always end up returning to home base – that being your wireless laptop. And if you’re anything like us you use your laptop computer in a variety of settings, most of them involving having the laptop, oddly enough, on your lap. The convenience is great with only one major downside – the heat. After 20 minutes your legs are roasting and it’s time for a break. Enter the Lapinator. The only laptop desk that keeps your lap cool and your laptop cooler. The Lapinator uses Thinsulate™ insulation as the main barrier to the heat generated by laptop computers. This keeps your lap cool allowing you to compute in comfort. The Lapinator keeps your laptop computer cooler too! In fact, it can reduce the CPU temperature by 11 degrees more than the same laptop running on a wooden desk. The design features a rigid platform, flexible edges, compressible legs and its slim profile allows you to easily slip the Lapinator into your bag. Three rubber spacers are included and can be positioned on the Lapinator to perfectly accommodate your laptop. There is a small velcro loop on the rear of the Lapinator to help secure any dangling cables.

X-bit labs has a (pretty massive) scoop of AMD info to share with us this week, as it has put together the above chart detailing what it expects the company's APU roadmap will look like for the remainder of the year. Published a couple of days ago, this data has now been partially corroborated by the snoops over at DigiTimes, who confirm a couple of the model names and agree that AMD is planning an initial Q3 rollout of five Llano chips, to be followed by even more processors coming in Q4 of 2011. Llano represents AMD's play for the performance crown, coming as it does with dual- or quad-core processing units, DirectX 11-capable Radeon HD 6000-series graphics, and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller, all bundled up inside the same warm and toasty package. More E-series APUs for power-conscious users are also said to be on the cards, and AMD itself should be making these plans official at Computex in Taipei come early June. It's a bit of a wait, but we've got a feeling it'll be worth it.

iFixit may have physically uncovered Apple's latest silicon, but it's the processor gurus that have discovered what's truly inside -- using software benchmarks, they've unearthed the speeds and feeds of the Apple A5. As you'll no doubt be aware having read our headline above, there actually isn't a 1GHz CPU at the helm, as AnandTech and IOSnoops report the dual-core ARM chip is dynamically clocked around 900MHz, likely in search of reduced power consumption. Perhaps more interestingly for all you gamers in the audience, the iPad 2 reports that it has a dual-core PowerVR SGX543MP2 GPU on the die as originally foretold -- and, spoiler alert -- it mops the floor with both the original iPad and the Motorola Xoom. Though the new chip didn't quite demonstrate 9X the graphical prowess of its predecessor, it rendered 57.6 frames per second in a GLBenchmark test where the (admittedly higher-res) Tegra 2 tablet managed only 26.7fps, and last year's iPad pulled only 17.6fps. That's some serious Tai Chi. Hit up our source links to see the difference it can make in games like Infinity Blade.

Update: Though it sure sounds like there's a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 in there, that's not yet a proven fact -- we only know that it's a dual-core ARM v7 chip which performs relatively similarly in non-graphical tests. [Thanks, Jim]
