Raghav Kher, COO of Seventymm, a fast-growing online movie rental company, is keen to hack into Shahrukh Khan's computer. He confesses that playing with the Nintendo Wii is a stress-buster, but it's also embarrassing because he has to take lessons in it from his four-year-old.

Which one of your gadgets was a waste of money?

I bought a wireless headset for my iPhone. It looks great but it has a design flaw "" it simply does not stay in my ears. The headset falls off as I move my head. The pair cost me $130 but has done no good.

If you could, whose computer would you choose to hack?
