Read MoreVertical Mouse 2.
Evoluent VerticalMouse 2. They’ve improved the original ergonomic Vertical Mouse by improving the mechanical and electrical design, upping the resolution to 1200 dpi, adding an extra button and improving the vertical grip shape. Oh and they painted it a lurid purple just to make sure you’d recognise it. Nice folks aren’t they? $75.00. The patented shape supports your hand in a relaxed handshake position that eliminates forearm twisting. You will quickly become accustomed to the improved comfort. An ordinary horizontal mouse requires your…

Solar Powered Battery Charger. What’s the definition of optimism then? Selling a solar powered battery charger in the UK. Arf! Thank you, thank you, we’ll be here all week. £14.99. This charger will charge four batteries of the same size simultaneously. On a good sunny day, 4 x AA 2000mAh NiMh batteries can be charged in as little as 6 hours. The batteries are charged within the case, which features a fold out stand for directing the solar panel towards…
Read MoreThe H2Orb.
The H2Orb Leak and Overflow Prevention System. 24/7 monitoring via wireless sensors ensures that your toilet will never embarrass you in front of guests. No siree, Bob. The system comes with two wireless sensors, which are attached to the toilet bowl and on the perimeter of the toilet tank, and monitor water flow. The bowl sensor detects toilet bowl overflows…When a problem does occur, either the bowl sensor or the dual tank sensors automatically send a signal to H 2…
Read MoreEarthquake Kit.
The Earthquake Kit is designed to keep you safe in the event of a Richter scale event occurring in your area. How does it work? Well it includes a compass, a little whistle, an FM radio and a little flashlight. Cute, but let’s hope you never have to use one, eh? Around $14.00.
Read MoreScandoo.
Scandoo. Add-on search engine filter to protect us from nasty stuff like spyware, offensive content et al. Google with a safety fence? Interesting idea really. Our scanning technology is installed on high speed server infrastructure around the world. We scan each and every one of your search results to see if there is anything malicious behind the links and then feed the security results back into your search page…Scandoo is designed to give you advanced warning – before you click…
Read MoreNight Navigator.
The Night Navigator Star Finder probably won’t help you locate Brad, Angelina or Keanu, but it might just let you find the Big Dipper up there in the light polluted excuse of an evening sky we call star studded. Computer powered and just $99.95. Find your zodiac sign, your favorite constellation or any of the visible planets – in a matter of seconds. A state-of-the art computer tracking system shows you precisely where to look to find the star or planet…
Read MoreThe Winnie Phone.
So tell me Piglet, is the new Winnie the Pooh Dmobo P700 Cell Phone the start of a new trend? Can we expect to see Tigger laptops, Eeyore digicams and the occasional Christopher Robin PVR? Maybe if enough people stump up the $360.00 these fables might come to pass. Shudder. A special edition to celebrate Pooh’s 80 years of Friendship and adventures. The enchanting and luxurious premium package with P700 is in an attempt to inspire you to discover…

The Aqua-Nautas Underwater Helmet. No need for scuba stuff, just put on one of these Columbian helmets and paddle about underwater. Looks like they still need an air line, but it’s designed for tourists apparently. More info from the super cool dudes over at Gizmag here. Columbian start-up Aquanautas has created a new method of enjoying underwater activities without the need for scuba gear, tanks, masks and regulators. By wearing on of the company’s new helmets, a human can breath…
Read MoreUSB Fridge Fryer.
The USB Insulated Cooler and Warmer. So who said USB wasn’t versatile enough? Stick a can in there, press the cool button and get a fridge effect. Or shove a coffee cup in and press hot and get it toasty warm. Apparently it’s all powered through the USB port too, which is nothing short of miraculous. And all for around $50.00? Gosh.

Geek Jewellery. Resistance is futile. Geddit? Arf!
Read MoreGuitar Hero hacks.
There is clearly some sort of ‘thing’ building around the Guitar Hero game and controller. How else to explain the rising number of hacks popping up? And GH 2 is coming too? Yowsers. Freetar – turn your fave tunes into Guitar Hero enabled fun. Controller Hack – turn your controller into a general MIDI controller Guitar Hero Trainer – Windows hack allows you to practice your licks on a PC. Hack links – and assortment of hardware and software hacks under one…
Read MoreHipper than thou?
The Hipper Mood Creator is a totally useless piece of crud which produces a cute little light show when you plug your USB audio or MP3 player into it. £44.99 for something like that? I’d rather save me money and sit there flicking the light switch in time to Dark Side of the Moon. Your mileage may vary of course. The Hipper 100 will emulate the mood of your music and control the colour change of the 10 different LED…
Read MoreThe Magic Box.
The Magic Box Internet Radio. I’ve been playing around with the Acoustic Energy Wi-Fi Radio for a while now, and it’s very cool. The only thing I don’t like is the fact that you need to get the company to OK any radio stations which you add, which limits your user choice unnecessarily. This model appears to be much of the same, maybe re-badged? Still if you’re in the market for a simple to use Internet radio device which is…
