Top 10 Tech This Week [PICS]

[nggallery id=5505]

One of our favorite things tech can do for us is to streamline everyday tasks -- improving them by making them easier, more pleasurable, more entertaining and more aesthetically pleasing.

That seemed to be a theme running through the top 10 tech we found this week, with gadgetry galore that will improve your quality of life. If you've ever suffered from a broken smartphone screen, awkward faucet gymnastics when all you wanted to do was rinse out your mouth, or recoiled at that rat's nest of wires leading from your computer to its monitor, do we have a useful list for you!

We finish off the list with an easy way to get you into outer space, and we found a brand-new pic of our lovely planet from way out in space -- the sharpest and most dramatic photo of our big blue marble ever taken.

Strap yourselves in for an exciting excursion, taking you from a more pleasurable and comfortable life here on Earth, into space and beyond as we separate the coolness from the lukewarm, right here on Top 10 Tech This Week.
