Will you buy a table that cost eight grand and put it in your café? Well, you’ll need a huge number of tables too if your café is quite huge. Samsung definitely thinks that it’s possible, just because it’s cool.

Logitech Tablet Mouse exclusively for Android 3.1

Google announced that Android 3.1 Honeycomb will be coming this June, and Logitech has quickly jumped on board. Logitech today introduced a new wireless mouse, which is exclusively designed for use with Android tablets, though I’m not sure if there’s a need for such.

The Logitech Tablet Mouse connects to your Android 3.1-based tablet via Bluetooth, allowing you to use it anywhere within a radius of 30 feet from your tablet, transforming your tablet instantly into a compact desktop (if you got a wireless keyboard too).

What makes this mouse special is that it comes equipped with Laser precision, which means you’ll enjoy smoother tracking on just about any surface except on glass or mirrors. The Logitech Tablet Mouse retails for just $49.99 each. Worth it? I think I’ll stick to my finger for now though.

A never-ending rope climbing machine

May 14th, 2011

A never-ending rope climbing machine

It’s called the Mt EverClimb Continuous Climbing Rope, probably to mimic the Mount Everest. It’s nowhere taller than two-and-a-half-men, but I’m pretty sure you’ll find this thing taller than the Mount Everest when you climb it.

The name says it all, it’s a rope climbing exercise machine that will let you climb endlessly. But when will you know if you’re done? Well, when you lost all your energy climbing and bang to the floor, or when your hand gets sucked up into the machine and crunched into crumbs when you stopped climbing.

This stupid machine will cost you a staggering $8,000, but you’re buying a mountain that’s taller than Everest mind you. Thought I’m sure you can DIY one for yourself very easily, using your younger brother on a bicycle attached to a rope that is.

Join the dark force with the Wicked Lasers Sith Series

Fancy a double-edge laser sabre like the one used by the Sith? It’s time to join the force! Wicked Lasers is back with the new Sith Series handheld laser. Known as the world’s first double handed laser, the gadget features a couple of Class 4 1-watt Spyder 3 lasers. This handheld laser may look like a futuristic weapon, but attempting to play or duel with a pair of Class 4 burning lasers will result in permanent blindness to anyone exposed to the Sith’s Dual Laser beams or reflections. The Sith Series double handed laser is now available at Wicked Lasers’ website for $599.95. Right, nobody said that being a Star Wars fan is cheap.
