The Forecasting Unbrella

This umbrella is supposed to predict the weather for you in some innovative way. Sometimes I really don’t know how marketing works. It must be something like that:
“Let’s make an umbrella that can predict the weather. I mean it’s just natural to ask your umbrella if it’s going to rain or not. For example, I always want to ask my underwear if it’s time to wash them. Let’s make that product too and call it the wash-me-already panties.”

The Toilet Paper RSS Reader

RSS is a way to consume news from different websites. I use RSS to manage my daily readings of technology, news and blogs. However, even though I do read in the restroom, when I go there I can’t take my RSS updates with me.

That’s why they created the RSStroom Reader, which actually prints your RSS feeds on toilet paper. I wouldn’t buy one of these, but I think it’s pretty cool.

Internet Traffic Cop

Sometimes when I have an idea I dismiss it thinking no one will ever buy the product. But then comes along a device called Internet Traffic Cop and makes me think my idea isn’t that bad after all. I mean if someone will buy a device which basically disconnects your computer from the Internet by pushing a button for $50, then I can sell pretty much anything.

VroomBox

Just when I think gadget manufacturers calmed down with the stupid inventions, comes VroomBox, the gadget that will make car noises for you. Yes, I said the gadget that will make car noises for you. If you buy one, let me know so I can… you know… not talk to you anymore.
