Su Chef App for iPhone – Designing a meal based on what you have; not what you need

Hate figuring out what to prepare for meals? Despise finding out food you already had went to waste because you couldn’t think of any recipes that used the ingredients already in your pantry and refrigerator? It sounds cliche these days, but there’s an app for that.

LazyHusband App – Now’s a great time to find out if the wife has a sense of humor

There’s nothing funny about being a lazy husband, as many disgruntled wives can probably affirm, but that doesn’t take the humor out of this new app… and you won’t believe who created it.

Kinetic Light Newton’s Cradle – Can somebody please stop that irritating clack… Ohhh! Pretty!

The classic desk accessory is one of those items that simply has no middle ground. You either love it or hate it. However, adding a light show to the mesmerizing physics demonstration could sway some of the haters while making the lovers feel even more joy.

OK Google – It’s okay to get chatty with Chrome [Freeware]

If you’re a devoted Firefox user, Google might have just added the perfect app to make you convert to Chrome. If you’re still using Internet Explorer… well, there’s probably no hope for you.

T-fal OptiGrill – Because liking steak doesn’t mean we know how to cook

The microwave crowd has it super-easy, with microwaves having a variety of settings, including a popcorn setting, to insure food is heated properly. Does anyone really need a popcorn setting? However, if you like real food, like steak and chicken cooked on the grill, it’s like the universe thinks you’re a chef. Cooking skills aren’t a requirement for liking good food… and they’re no longer a requirement for making good food.

Virtual Taste Simulator – Because looking at photos of food is no longer enough.

There’s food all over your computer (hurry! go clean that up). We see sweet treats that would be good to eat on commercials, cooking shows, and even in virtual reality worlds and video games… and that’s not even counting all the food pics shared by friends, family, and total strangers on social media. Wouldn’t it be great to taste all those goodies? Wouldn’t it be even better if you could taste them without having to worry about gaining any of…

Hammerhead Bike Navigator – On-the-go GPS so you don’t get lost when on two wheels

Bicycle riders haven’t had it as easy as drivers in cars and trucks with their cushy GPS systems. When you’re on two wheels instead of four, you either have to map out the route before you hit the road or you have to make numerous stops along the way to check your phone to see if you’re still on course. Things just got a lot easier for the two-wheeling brotherhood.

Santa Scanimation Book – Pictures of Santa come to life

Santa Claus has never looked as lively as he does in these not-so-still images that create the illusion of movement where there is none.

TokyoFlash Kisai Rorschach Watch – Psychological evaluation or just a cool way to tell time?

People will think your watch is whacked when they take a peek and see something that resembles a digital Rorschach ink blot on your wrist, but it’s really just a cool new way to tell time.

If you’ve ever wished you had eyes in the back of your head or some other way to tell when someone is sneaking up on you, there is now a shirt that will give you the power you desire, and none of the responsibility that usually comes with it.

Tactical Laser-Guided Pizza Cutter – When straight lines are more important than life itself.

How important are perfectly straight pizza slices to you? For some, it’s no big deal, but if you’re one of the few who demands perfection in everything – especially when it comes to your Mega-Supreme with Xtra Pepperoni – the pizza cutter of your dreams has arrived.

Pachi Pachi Light Switch iPhone 5 Cover – It’s like bubblewrap for your phone

There’s no cure for fidgety fingers; they simply have to be allowed to do their own thing or risk driving you insane with their unnatural stillness. Bubblewrap has always been a great way to keep those antsy fingers busy, but there’s a new way to entertain your hands, and unlike bubblewrap, it’s good for repeat performances.

React Messenger – Let your selfie get in on the conversation [Freeware]

We live in a fast-paced world filled with people that absolutely love to take pictures of themselves and share them with the world. They also love to chat… nonstop… all the time… as if the world would stop spinning if, for one second, they failed to stay in touch with others. What would happen if the power of instant messaging collided with the self-expression of the selfie?
