James Bond T-Shirt

Having female silhouettes on a shirt front appears to have given this T-shirt the license to label itself the James Bond T-Shirt. Other than that, sorry, it's not Q-approved. Otherwise this shirt would have concealed a dragon flamethrower, an exploding prosthetic nipple and an escape pod, and not just light up your chest in response to audio, like the Show-Off T-Shirt. The name is Blunt, James, Blunt?

handSteady

Steady as we go, folks. There's a patent now pending which sets out to improve the human condition. Looking like a padded cupholder with an oversized handle, inventor Chris Peacock intended his design to help sufferers with afflictions like Parkingson's (think Michael J. Fox and former US President Ronald Reagan) drink without spilling, despite uncontrollable hand tremors. More importantly, the user is able to preserve his or her self-confidence and dignity at social events. The handSteady is even useful when onboard moving vehicles like yachts. According to the literature: A rubber grip captures the mug, can or wine glass. Gravity stablizes the drink by letting the handle twist in two directions. To get the drink to your mouth, a catch on the handle locks the mechanism. And it's one size fits all. Ready, steady, bottom's up!

miFlower

We've got more waving, flapping, whirling widgets on our desktop than we'd like. So what's one more? This posy even tries to outbloom its rivals by responding to music with glowing LED patterns for some mood lighting. Play Michael Buble, and it'll bob gently. Hit the groove with Metallica, and this MP3 companion will rock and roll. When not jiving, the LCD display doubles as a clock. Perhaps where the miFlower fails to blossom is the lack of a eco-friendly solar panel to power it. That said, the musically sensitive miFlower isn't unique. If you prefer bowwows over botany, check out the smarter iDog Musical Companion which even responds to pats and taps.

Poseidon Resorts

This one's not fully tech, but it employs undersea technology that's so cool, we figured it deserved a spot here. For Asians who can't wait to get away from urban city life to the great beyond, here's a resort with a difference. Rather than enjoy some R&R by the seaside, why not spend your vacation under it? Yep, it's an entirely immersive stayover, which means you can forget about that tan.

Poseidon Resorts, which likely took its name from the Greek God of the seas and not the ill-fated S.S. Poseidon in the movie The Poseidon Adventure, is being advertised as a five-star luxury complex that comprises a series of pods based on submarine technology. The resort is still under construction, but illustrations depict over 60 percent of the exterior covered with transparent acrylic windows. And instead of a beachfront, check this out--you get your own private reef lit up for your viewing pleasure. A visit to this Atlantean-like city would most certainly be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, particularly for honeymooners. But prepare to "eat grass" for quite a while after that, since this experience will leave your pocket rather threadbare. That said, claustrophobics need not apply.
