Connie Cheng and Leonardo Bonanni have developed the world’s first “Intelligent Spoon”. It’s equipped with sensors to measure temperature, acidity, salinity, and viscosity. Download the recorded data to any computer via a cable for furthur processing.

What is it? Laser gun? Telescope? Nope. This thing called MySky has built-in GPS, LCD screen, magnetic north sensors, electronic accelerometers, & complex circuitry.

Take the MySky out of its package, plug in some batteries, go outside, preferably at night although even when you can’t see them, the stars are still there during the day. Now let the MySky figure out its location and time via GPS. There are three different basic modes to using the night sky - Identify, Find, & Guided Tour. In ‘Identify’ Mode, the default, you will be presented with a real time LCD view of the night sky, complete with constellations. Simply point it to the object of choice in the real sky, and shoot. It will identify! You can also take a ‘Guided Tour’ of the best objects available to you at the moment based on your location, date & time. Finally, if you want to locate a specific object (planet, comet, galaxy, etc.) - you can navigate through the menus, select the item and your MySky will point out its location in the real sky.

Goodbye cash, hello mobile payments. When this Nokia phone launches later this year, users will be able to use it to buy coffee, exchange business cards, and collect data with a single push of a button. That’s because the 6131 NFC has a long-awaited technology called “near field communication,” which allows two devices to transfer money or swap information. The 6131 NFC also has a built-in MP3 player and camera, among other standard features.

PLEN, the skateboarding robot works great to relieve you of office boredom, and will definitely impress anyone who catches a glimpse of him. Plen features unique balancing skills that help him skateboard around your workspace, but unfortunately the high $2,000 price tag makes this Bluetooth-enabled robot out of reach for most people.

Still, $2,000 is way more attainable than driving home an Asimo.

You will be able to watch the videos in a wall or screen at a 800×600 resolution with a 24-bit color and a projection size of 30″ x 90″.  This is really nice since some people can’t watch for longer periods in a very small screen.  Another feature is that it is also a docking station for the iPod.

It will be introduced at the coming Consumer Electronics Show 2007 which is the world’s largest trade show that showcases products that are still to be launched.

Imagine calling someone you know who might recognize your voice. But you need to get information without them knowing who you are. Just call them and speak in a different voice. They’ll never know it’s you. Imagine the fun you could have at Halloween or a costume party. You’ve always wanted to dress-up as Frankenstein’s Monster or a menacing robot or even Dracula, but couldn’t quite create the menacing voice to match. Now you can with this incredible device. Imagine the fun you could have reading children’s books to your kids with the voice changer. A spooky book will have a whole new thrilling dimension if you read it aloud in a menacing voice. Admit it. You know you’ve always wanted to talk like Darth Vader or Robbie the Robot.

 Well now you can.

When you were a child, do you remember how many times you got lost?

I don’t know how many but I know that I did get lost a lot especially when my parents brought me to public places with lots of people – like the supermarket or the mall. Of course, my mother was a wreck each time I got lost.

Too bad there were no IonKids before.

The IonKids system enables parents to know where their children are. This comes in two pieces – a base (which I think looks like a PDA) and a wristag (which you put on your child’s arm like a watch). Everything is so portable so you can carry it around anywhere. They are also tamper-proof so there’s no worry with that. If the Wristag is removed, you are immediatley notified.

When using IonKids outdoors, you get a signal of up to 350 feet while a maximum of 200 feet indoors.

How many times have you gone straight home and took a drench from your shower because you were feeling just so bad?

It looks like you might have quite a companion here with this gadget called the Chromotherapy equipped shower.

So now you are asking me just what is unique about this shower?

Well, according to its creator, this Chromotherapy equipped shower has got the power to give you Kosmic steam. Plus, it has been created with a shower cabin.

Not quite unusual yet? Well, both the Kosmic steam and the shower cabin can be illuminated and lit with any of the eight colors available. So if you are feeling blue and you might want to feel a little bit pink, then you may do so while you are showering.

By the way, chromotherapy actually means color theraphy and it might just give you that boost you need. Make sure you do have £14,000 to own one though.

Red light & speed cameras use a strong flash to photograph the license plate on your car. Once sprayed on your plate, PhotoBlocker’s special formula produces a high-powered gloss that reflects the flash back towards the camera. This overexposes the image of your license plate, rendering the picture unreadable. With PhotoBlocker, your license plate is invisible to traffic cameras yet completely legible to the naked eye, making it 100% legal.

All you need to do is plug the USB smokeless ashtray to a free USB port to let this one work out its smoke-free function. So, as an ashtray, your smoker friend (or family member) can use this one to put out his cigarette’s ashes.

What kind of magic does this one do?

I believe its manufacturer has stated that inside the gadget is a fan and a filter. Both these two major componetns would be the one capable of taking the smoke right out of the air in your house. But keep in mind that this works out as such if and only if the car is closed.

Try it and share with us if this one indeed works.
