Holiday Gift Guide 2010: What to buy your favorite geek this year

The holidays are right around the corner, and we figured it's time to start coming up with some useful, thoughtful and hopefully interesting gift ideas for the geek (or geeks) in your life. Most of these are quite affordable, so you might not have to pick just one.

Gifts that keep on giving: online subscriptions

There are tons of great subscription-based online services. Picking out just a few was a real challenge, but here goes:

• Safari Books Online: Nerds are brainy people, and brainy people have been known to read. For US$42.99/month, your favorite geek will get unlimited access to a catalog of over 9,000 tech titles by O'Reilly and other big-name publishers. It's not just dry coding stuff, either; heck, your geek might even learn to cook! Note that Safari also has more affordable subscription options, down to $10/month for the 5-book bookshelf.

In Uncle Sam, You've Got a Friend... Who Wants Everybody's DNA

In the latest WikiLeaks data dump, around a quarter-million confidential American diplomatic cables were published online. Among the tech-relevant secrets, the State Department tasked agents to collect DNA and other biometric information on foreigners of interest in a directive that makes the recent TSA scandal over airport full body scanners seem like child's play.

Chromium can now create shortcuts for Chrome Web Apps

Google Chrome can already create application shortcuts for your favorite sites via the wrench menu. The option had disappeared for a while, but made its return earlier this year. Adding Gmail to your taskbar is as simple as loading it in a tab, clicking the wrench, choosing tools and then clicking create application shortcut.

Recently, Chromium added that same functionality to Chrome Web apps. If you've got any apps installed, you can right click its icon on your new tab page and choose create shortcut. A menu like the one pictured above will appear, and you can then pin your Chrome Web app the Windows 7 taskbar or slap a shortcut on your desktop or start menu.

This is currently only available in Chromium, but expect to see Web app shortcuts make their way to the Canary and Dev builds in short order. Google is making a push to get the Chrome Web Store launched, and polished app support in Chrome will need to be in place prior to, well, whenever that happens.

Thanks, Trilby!
