The PlugKing Power Adapter Socket. From the ‘Why didn’t they think of that before?’ Dept.

The Cone LED Phone Charger Combo. Cute little pill of a gizmo acts as an LED light for those times when you’re stuck without illumination, and as a device to device charger when you’re stuck without power.

And let’s not get started on the bike riding robbies, shall we? Around $8400.00 apparently. [Via Seihin]

The Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker. Look, I’m sorry an’ all, but I really do object when my kitchen utensils are smarter than I am.
