Superplexus – ultimate 3D puzzle promises to drive you and your credit card crazy

The Superplexus is a seriously insane boy’s toy featuring a 36 inch diameter sphere holding a 300 foot long labyrinthine track around which you must guide a wooden marble. Sounds like fun, right? Yep, that’s what we thought too until we came across a small price sticker on the bottom of the 6–ply Finnish birch tree frame. $30,000. Hmm…where did we put that Rubik cube?   The entire track laid out on a straight line is 31′ longer than a football…

Battalion Touch Notebook – world’s first multitouch gaming laptop

The Battalion Touch Notebook is apparently the world’s first multi-touch gaming laptop computer. The rest of the spec seems fairly standard for a 15.6 inch laptop, so we’re wondering exactly what market really wants to swap the lean back ease of use you get with a mouse and keyboard for the hunched over finger stretching hassle that comes with multi-touch screen technology? Sure it’s cool for mobile phones, but a notebook computer? Really? Anyhoo, those of you with an urge…

Tooth Mounted Hearing Aid – smile wider and speak up…

WHAT? A Tooth Mounted Hearing Aid? Speak up I can’t hear ya.  Sonitus Medical of San Mateo in California has created a small device that wraps around the teeth. It picks up the sounds detected from a tiny microphone in the deaf ear and transforms them into vibrations. These then travel through the teeth and down the jawbone to the cochlea in the working ear, where they are transmitted to the brain providing stereo sound. The same process of “bone…

Oxygen O+ Stick – portable oxygen in a can, because they can

The Oxygen O+ Stick is one of a growing number of leisure based oxygenationary products which has us baffled. Apparently ordinary air borne lung food isn’t good enough for some people, they need processed mint flavoured stuff to really hit the ticket. Wow! Guess this is the same crowd that spend more on bottled water than gasoline. Sometimes it all makes sense in the kind of insanely Machiavellian way only Mrs Miggins would understand. $27.99.  ANYTIME YOU NEED IT, O+ IS THERE.
