USB Microscope QX5

Juniper Foo | Feb 06, 2007

This thing's no toy, even if it looks more plastic than the USB Proscope. So don't pray-pray (colloquial for play, play). The USB QX5 takes snapshots and time-lapse movies, bundles a whole caboodle of accessories for field work, and is capable of zooming in at up to 200 times. Snappy enough perhaps for some CSI work? And, hey, you can purchase a lab coat to look the part, too.

The Simpsons Pinball Party Machine

Juniper Foo | Feb 02, 2007

Aye, caramba! If you're an enthusiast of everyone's favorite cartoon familiy and arcade games, you'll probably dig US store Brookstone's Simpsons Pinball Party Machine which comes with talking Homer head, Bart on skateboard, Itchy and Scratchy targets. Since it's a home model, you can play with or without coins.Coins, however, won't be the issue here. At a whopping US$4,999 sticker price (excluding shipping charges), this'll have Homer eating his shorts. D'oh!

iCache

Juniper Foo | Feb 01, 2007

Here's the only credit card you'll ever need. iCache looks to be a nifty enough device in that it takes all your gazillion credit cards that you've subscribed to, and replicates them all into a universal card. Here's how it works: You register all your cards to your online account. You then insert the universal card into the iCache. Now each time you use a specific card, you call it up on the iCache screen, which then loads the information onto the universal card. And, voila. One card to rule them all! The data is, of course, encrypted and accessible only via the biometric fingerprint reader. As a further precaution, data loaded on the universal card vanishes after 10 minutes. So best not to shilly-shally over your purchases. Of course, while this may relieve your bulging wallet considerably, it's still one more thing to carry with you. Darn.
