You may have read about the lightweight KeyPix Digital Picture Key Chain which stores and displays 56 photos. It’s an interesting gimmick, but nothing spectacular enough to shell out $59.99 for. However, the Pixi Digital Picture Pendant might catch some peoples’ attention. It basically has the same functions as the Key Chain, and it costs the same price as the key chain, but the pendant can be worn as a necklace. Who knows, maybe being brave enough to wear one of these might even start a fashion trend.

Remember a few years back when Whoopi Goldberg was pushing Flooz.com? Or how about the sock puppet mascot from Pets.com from back in 2000? Flooz.com and Pets.com have both made the list for the top 10 dot-com flops according to Cnet.com. Some of these flops kinda bring back memories, other make you wonder what were they thinking… No matter, as it all makes for some interesting reading.

The Motion Cam ROB-1 by Sony Ericsson is a 4-inch-tall Bluetooth-controlled bot that can be
controlled from up to 164 feet via a cell phone or a PC. 
It has a swiveling lens that sends back low-resolution streaming video at 15
frames per second and grabs 640 x 480 stills on command. It also has four LEDs
that act as headlights in a dark room or corner. Say goodbye to privacy…

Lately, there’s been a lot of talk about upcoming Wifi phones
which would allow you to make use of VOIP while away from your computer. But if you’re
a VOIP-addict and are impatient for a handset to use Skype with, then Siemens
has a few good-looking solutions. Ukiptel.co.uk has 3 Siemens Gigaset cordless
land line phones that are Skype compatible if you purchase the Giga M34 USB
Adapter as well. After you plug the Giga M34 adapter into your computer’s USB
port, it’ll connect Skype to your Gigaset so that you can use Skype from your
cordless phone. The compatible Gigasets include the S440, S44 and S645, which
all have color screens. Ok,
so this solution for VOIP isn’t exactly a wifi phone, but it is definitely a way
to merge your landline and Skype software so that your not tied down to using
Skype only on your computer.

Here’s another designer ipod mini case to add to our database of cases that
are classy but we’ll probably never purchase because they cost as much as an ipod
mini. Prada has a new ipod mini case for $212 USD, 
it’s available in black, bronze or orange and comes with a
black strap and a faux gold clip. Now that’s value for your money.

Not only is the Qube Z2 a really pretty 1.3 megapixel digital camera that
comes in 3 different flower-themed designs, the Ben Q Qube Z2 is also a cell
phone and a mp3 player. Ben Q really needs to market more in the U.S. because
they have some stylin’ products. (Source: Akihabara News)

Commitment & wedding rings are most commonly composed of platinum or
gold. The reason we spend so much money on these rings is for their sentimental
value and the significance of what the ring represents.  A group of researchers,
and a bioengineer in England, have used a four step process to coax cell’s from
a couple into a ring. The whole process is kind of complicated, and it involves
having surgery in order to donate the cells. The Biojewelry project is still in
its experimental stages and won’t be mass marketed just yet, but I like the
concept a lot – there’s something special about having your partner’s DNA on
your ring. Even if it is just a tad bit creepy

Getting your nails done is a time honored female tradition. I myself like
getting a design painted on my nails whenever I do make the trip out to the nail
salon. Well, instead of having a design painted on your nails, what if you could
have a JPEG image of your choice painted on your nail? MeiYiMei, a company based
in China has produced a machine that outputs 4,800-dpi images directly on to
your nail or onto a salon’s press-on nails. All you have to do is stick your
hands under their inkjet printer and wallah your nails are customized to your
imagination’s specifications. Says Lemon Huang, MeiYiMei’s manager of
international trade: "Now high school girls can change their nails as easily as
switching the faceplate on their mobile phones."
