Have you ever wished that you could have an implanted GPS chip in your body, to help you stop getting lost at awkward times? Y’know, like when you’re late to that meeting and your phone is in your case on the back seat of the car and you’re sure the place is around here somewhere, but was it that last left turn or the next?

This Artya Son Of A Gun Watch is probably not the best thing to wear on your next airport check-in
Look we all know how sensitive the poor security folk at airports are nowadays. Let’s face it, not a day goes by when they’re not in the news for some kind of blunder or another. And all they’re trying to do is maintain the peace, combat terrorism and help keep the skies safe from explosions. Or something.
Read MoreLiveWire NavGenius is a spy tracker that works just like a normal satnav
The massively popular GPS network has spawned a lot of different applications, but none more dodgy than the security tracking business. Whether it’s businesses wanting to track their employees, spying spouses or law enforcement bugging suspects, there’s been a lot of money made out of the ability to follow someone’s traces in real time.
Read MoreBobble Beanie Hat With Earflap Headphones are perfect for those cold mornings
Winter may have gone, but the cold weather can still bite when you’re least expecting it. And what’s more you still need to get out there and meet your public, no matter how chilly it is. One thing that can really help is if you’re well equipped to deal with the conditions, and we’re not just talking about warmth either.

Ahh…the wide open spaces, the lure of the wild and the freedom that comes from the wind in your hair. And that’s just driving down the mall with the moon roof open. Now imagine that experience multiplied a thousand times, with the ability to shop travel anywhere you like, stop on a whim and stay till you get bored. With no gas bills to worry about either!

We’re easily confused. Sure we know it’s London Olympics year and all that, but when did the jolly old Brit flag return to favour as a fashion statement? The last time we remember this kind of stuff, was on an Austin Mini cruising down the King’s Road in 1967, and hardly any of the locals took any notice even then.
Read MoreTravel John Disposable Unisex Urinal for those tricky little emergencies
We’ve all been there. That moment when we realise we need to, like, go. Y’know like really urgently. No, it can’t wait, can you pull over? Please? Stop laughing. Look, I’m serious, please stop. Don’t you dare speed up. Please, please! Pleasepleasepleaseplease. I’ll do anything you want, ANYTHING!!
Read MoreMaybe the World’s Largest Coffee Cup says a bit too much about your caffeine addiction?
We’re thinking that this World’s Largest Coffee Cup is wrong on oh so many levels. At a time when nations are facing a massive shortage of raw materials and commodities, why should one person dominate a whole month’s supply in one sitting? And what does it do to your adrenal glands? Or bladder? Anyhoo, if you’re one of those who needs to demonstrate your love for all things addictive, this is probably one of the products you’ll need to store in…
Read MoreUSB Wireless Air Mouse is the mouse you wear
We’ve seen some strange products in our time, illuminated toilet seats, bacon bandages, even a reluctant bride cake topper, but we’ve got to hand it to this little doozy. The idea of taking a humble little rodent, adding a strap on glove attachment and selling it to the great masses takes some real courage.
Read More3D Converter converts your boring old HD television to glorious 3D…maybe
So you’ve got yourself a nice flat screen HD television and you’re enjoying your high definition sports and movies. But there’s a nagging feeling in your breast. Should you keep up with the times and upgrade your set to a brand new, but expensive, 3D television and take advantage of the new 3D content being beamed to your location right now? Well there is apparently an alternative.
Read MoreMedisana Thermodock turns your smartphone into the world’s most expensive thermometer
We’re really only just at the beginning of the smartphone revolution, mostly because we haven’t really grasped the implications of having a full blown and extremely powerful computer in our pocket that pretends to be a phone. Once the performance and application tools start to really mature, we’re going to see a real revolution – and I don’t use that word lightly – in smartphone functionality and value.
Read MoreModMyPi cases protect your tiny Raspberry Pi computer from danger
Well that didn’t take long. The sensational Raspberry Pi micro computer is not even out and available in people’s hands yet, and already there are enterprising companies selling add-ons to make them better. For those who don’t know, the Pi is a new tiny computer which costs around $35.00 and is no larger than a credit card.
Read MoreThe Free Universal Construction Kit is a brilliant way to connect your Lego to other kits
The beauty of building kits like Lego and Duplo is the fact that they unleash the imagination in ways that ordinary battery driven playthings can never do. Over the years the number of different building kits around the world has multiplied hugely, and one of the sad things is each manufacturer deliberately makes their kit incompatible with others in order to build their own empire. We all lose.
Read MoreMouse Magnifier helps you see life more clearly
There comes a time in everyone’s life when they stop seeing things clearly. Politicians, bankers, Charlie Sheen’s PR manager, they’ve all suffered from the problem at one time or another. And so too the rest of us, even if not now, then one day. And when that moment arrives, we’re going to need help, of the mechanical kind, to get us through it.
