I’ve seen a lot of dumb USB gadgets, but this one is beyond stupid. A USB Chameleon that, uh, doesn’t change colour. It just sorta rolls its eyes and pokes out its tongue. At that point, why bother? Do we seriously have that many available USB ports that we can buy pointless things like that?

Bluetooth Brings Orange Jumpsuit
This guy was not meant to rob the Wendy’s. It just wasn’t going to happen. First, he found out the safe was time-locked so he’d have to wait. Then his screams not to anser the phone activated the bluetooth headset on someone’s cellphone, which made the person on the other end of the phone call …
Nobody’s Safe Anymore
If it isn’t already, the world should soon find itself on high alert, because the USB missile launcher has gone wireless! Like the wired version, the new launcher is controlled by a little targetting app running on a Windows PC. This time round, what’s plugged into said system is a dish-like wireless transmitter that can …

I’ve seen firsthand how crazy new parents can be, but I can’t think of any I’ve met who would be neurotic enough to shell out money for the crap featured onthis list of the most ridiculous baby products of the year.Fake hands? A crying analyzer? Knee pads so the little guy doesn’t hurt himself learning …
This Bank Will Self-Destruct In Five Days.
Wow. Toy manufacturer Tomy has invented a piggy-bank to be released in Japan that, if you don’t top it up, will explode, sending your coins everywhere.

USBlasphemy
This list of potentially offensive Christmas gifts is just funny. Christ on a motorbike? A toaster that stamps your bread with the Virgin Mary? A nativity scene including the Israeli security fense, complete with the wise men on the wrong side? Teddie-bear urns? But this is the reason it grabbed my attention. They have a …
Sink Your Teeth Into This
I said a little while ago that we had too many creapy dentists. Well, we must, because a robo-dental patient has been created to be able to let a dental trainee know when something hurts. That’s cool. But, this female look-alike’s sensors include some on her breast area to detect if she has been touched …

Did you really think that there would be two useful USB products in a row? Not a friggin chance! Now, if the USB scented oil burner isn’t enough risk for you, its makers have created a USB greenhouse! It comes with some seeds, some soil, a grow light, and a program that will tell you …

What Do You Think Of This Little Sucker?
Wow, a USB gadget that’s halfway useful. Now you can suck up your crumby post-lunch mess with a little wee USB vacuum. They say it really works. Well, if it does, I think that’s the first maybe sorta kinda useful USB gadget so far.
Roachbots?
I’m going to look like a conspiracy theorist, but this is just weird. A bunch of Washington scientists built robo-cockroaches and sent them out to see if they could infiltrate and influence real ones. They had to spray them with pheromones to fool the little crawling critters, but they did it. They say it’s to …
