After the iDog and the iFish, Sega has just announced in Japan the iPenguin, the dancing speaker which, for just $25, promises to dance and blink its belly color LEDs following the rhythm of the music you connect up to its butt. And yes, it looked all cute until that last line. Jesus Diaz
If we had a "weird gadget of the day," I'm fairly confident that this would be it. This is a pretty simple MicroSD card reader, but it is in the shape of a piga gold pig. If pigs weren't scary enough as it is, now they are terrifying my dreams in shiny gold. Just look at the little pig and his removable head and satanic eyes gazing into your soul. Scared yet? You should be. $8. Travis Hudson
Every Pig's Worst Nightmare: A Barbecue Shaped Like a Pig
Pork is essentially synonymous with barbecue in my area of the South, so the Lil' Pig barbecue from Traeger makes sense in a creepy meta-way if you can get past the doe-eyed cuteness. The grill boasts 418 sq. inches of cooking surface, an internal hopper, a stainless steel door handle and a multi-position digital thermostat control.
So while it's "some pig," (Giz reads!) the $1599 price tag might swing you toward some grilling gear a little less porky pricewise. There's also a Longhorn grill for you Texans. Matt Buchanan
Enjoying toast and tea is a luxury for us bloggers, who often dine on flat, room temperature soda and animal crackers in order to save money for heat, power and a 103-inch TV. Nevertheless, if we did enjoy her Majesty's official libations, it would be with this Toaster Teapot that combines the two. Whether it's a good idea to have liquid INSIDE A TOASTER is a question for philosophers and coroners, but it's only £29.95 ($US58), so at least it's a cheap death.
Why leave notes to your family on a magnetic dry erase board on your refrigerator when you can write directly on the toaster where nobody will see it? Actually, this toaster doesn't actually let you write notes onto the toaster, it burns the note into the toast as well, which means your kid has plenty of time to read your reminders to them as they eat their breakfast. Or they can just shove the whole thing into their mouths and pretend they didn't see it at all. Either way, it's breakfast done right. [Yanko Design]
Hey, what you have to say about this gadget? Seriously not a device for people like me, and I wouldnt prefer this over my real finger. It may find some use with the people who are quite lazy and often with the laid back kind of personalities. And seriously speaking, it may give a feeling of having somebody elses finger in your nose. Just think of an innovative idea but not one like this.
