Here are some very “interesting” gadgets and questionable items I recently found on the web while trying to get a birthday present for a Japanese friend of mine (who is very rich and hard to please). And yes, Japanese people also think these things are weird, believe me.
Top 10: Anti-boar electric fence ($235 on the web price)
The manufacturer says their fence is especially effective against boars and bears but also can be used to fight off monkeys and foxes.
Top 9: Karate board for posers ($18)
If you’re too weak to break a wooden board but still want to “get the great feeling of destroying stuff” (official tag line), this device might do the trick.
Top 8: Anti-belly suspenders ($67)
These suspenders double as a girdle (almost).
Top 7: Fly-away alarm clock ($53)
This thing will fly off when the alarm is activated, forcing you to wake up and catch it.
Top 6: Golf tees with built-in bikini girls ($26 for 4 tees)
No comment.
Top 5: Sexy silhouette mirror ($77)
The manufacturer offers this mirror to motivate women with weight problems to get closer to their dream body.
Top 4: Frog-shaped can crusher ($25)
This looks useful for a change.
Top 3: Fire-fighting flowers ($23)
The flowers are made of plastic, iron and nylon. They look great in your kitchen and they have the ability to put out fires.
Top 2: Hello Kitty Survival Kit ($94)
Ideal for those people who like looking cute in any situation, even as disaster victims. The set consists of a blanket, a bag, a rucksack, a pillow, a bandana and an alarm buzzer with built-in lamp.
Top 1: Groper’s mouse pad ($9)
The skirt can be unbuttoned and leaves me speechless.
Belkin has unveiled several solutions that’ll help keep laptop people like me from burning our tender flesh. Come this October, the bunch of us that adamantly refuse to work from an actual desk can choose between the $64.99 CushTop Hideaway, which doubles as a laptop storage case, or the $39.99 Laptop Cooling Lounge, which uses a fan to divert heat from the body. Having used the smell of searing leg meat as a sign that I’ve been tethered to my personal too long, I guess I’ll now have to find other ways to convince myself to get off the sofa. [
UPDATE: Crisis averted, it seems. Comments on and about the original CNET article, including from Steve Wozniak and Leo Laporte, indicate that Woz waited from 4:00 a.m. until the doors opened at 10:00 a.m. All the people in line Friday morning before Woz arrived had concurred that it would be fine if he went in to the store first. In fact, they insisted, said one Gizmodo tipster. This appears to be a case of a few jilted iPhone line sitters trying to soil Woz’s good name! Final ruling: Woz had a space saved in line at the 3G launch (posse included). Original post appears in its entirety after the jump.
