Scosche PowerFuze universal USB charger reduces wire clutter

You should see the mess of cables, chargers, and charging cables that clutter my backpack every day. Moving from car to car and home to work while testing a variety of devices means that iPod sync cables, USB cables, mini- and micro-USB cables for mobile phones and GPS devices, 12-volt car chargers, and 110-volt wall chargers eat up a good deal of my bag space.

Takara Tomy toy plays recordings backward

Scrap the puchipuchi pudding. I want this. Takara Tomy's Sakasa Master Japan Voice Recorder (1,344 yen, US$14.60) promises even more crazy, pointless fun for collectors of all things chindogu (un-useful gadgets) from Japan.

Those wonderful Japanese from Epoch at are at it again, giving Bandai a run for its chindogu (un-useful) gadgets with the Puchipuchi pudding. Though aimed at ages six and above, we're pretty sure those above the 1m height limit will secretly purchase this for their own purpose of prodding at the wobbly gelatinous mass which claims to feel like the real deal. There's something so therapeutic about the action. Remember the little old lady sneaking through an upscale grocery store in the Japanese film Tampopo, poking her fingers into everything squishy, from cheese to fruits? One can so relate.

AlterG unveils more affordable antigravity treadmills

We got our first close look at the AlterG antigravity treadmill at a health expo in San Francisco earlier this year, and at the time, the price was floating up there somewhere near the space station.

But we've good news for those who like the idea of running like an astronaut: Fremont, California-based AlterG on Monday plans to announce a more affordable model, the AlterG M300. The two treadmills in the M300 series deliver the same antigravity technology as AlterG's pricey US$75,000 P200 series, but at a third of the cost--US$24,500 to US$27,000.
