The Darth Vader Alarm Clock Radio
This Darth Vader clock was cool and all, but it’s not nearly as ominous as this new clock that will be coming out soon from Sakara. Nothing will scare you out of the bed quite as quickly as turning over to find Darth Vader staring back at you. It helps a bit that there are numbers that glow in his eyes, therefore it’s quite clear that this is a clock. Hopefully you don’t get startled too badly and bash the clock to death with your toy lightsaber though.

The antique recreation Fargo Fan
Having a fan around is always nice and this one would make a classy addition to any office or home. It was originally created in the 1920′s specifically for bankers. The Fargo Fan was made to give a really nice breeze, while at the same time not blowing around their paperwork. Making it a still convenient choice for anyone who messes with paperwork in their office quite often. This isn’t the exact same fan from the 1920′s, more of a remake actually. I don’t think that would bother anyone though.

The Jewel Apple Necklace USB Drive
This apple very much reminds me of something you’d find on the neck of a realtor, teacher or elderly secretary. Making it a flash drive that’s likely to appeal to the older crowd, which is definitely not a bad thing. It’s probably not going to be something you find on the neck of a 20-something. For the older ladies though, this apple conveniently hides away a flash drive. It does so in a way that it’s unlikely that the drive would slip out of the necklace on accident for some reason.

LumiGram Bed Cover
This next product is for those who want one of those “sexy” bedrooms. You know, the type with the silk sheets, the bearskin rugs and the tiger and leopard print blankets.
Yeah, the Luminex Fiber Optic Bed Covers would make a lovely edition to a “love bedroom”. Who wouldn’t be dazzled by bed covers that glow in the dark? Now all that is missing is the Barry White music. “Ooh baby baby, your love’s so good it makes the sheets glow”.
The glow effect is produced by fiber optics sewn directly into the covers themselves, and it has to be plugged into the wall for power. In case you are wondering, this doesn’t work as an electric blanket in the sense that it raises the temperature.

New GE Breakthrough: 100 DVDs on 1 Disc!
Okay, here’s a quick question: how many DVDs do you own? If you have less than 100, then there is now a way to put them all onto one disc.
It would appear that General Electric is the one who is responsible for this technological breakthrough. The company who has been “bringing good things to life” have used holograms to make this good thing a reality.
This could eventually lead to micro-holographic players that could play CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and these cool holographic discs. These discs could hold 500 GB of memory, and it is possible to produce these holographic discs at 10 cents per gigabyte. That is a lot cheaper than the $1 a gigabyte for a 25 gigabyte disc.

Spread Tweet: An Excel-ed Twitter
I almost feel bad for reporting on this next product, as it is one of those that encourages a double-life. This is for all of those people out there who are addicted to Twitter, but have bosses who don’t approve of any personal use of computers on “company time”.
Yeah, as if any company can own time! On second thought, I highly endorse this product, because I know what it is like to work for “The Man”. The last time I was working for “The Man”, twitter hadn’t been invented yet, but I’m certain that he would have never let me do that.
However, if I had Spread Tweet, my Twitter life would appear on my monitor like an ordinary spreadsheet. As long as my boss didn’t look too closely, then he or she would be none the wiser.

Epson’s Home Theater Ensemble is an all in one Home theater solution
Home theater in a box really isn’t. It’s a surround receiver, some cheap speakers and a DVD player, sure, but there’s way more to the equation than just audio. And Epson is betting that with the transition to HDTV in full swing, people looking for an all in one solution to transform that den into a serious home THEATER will be looking their way. Enter the new Ensemble HD Home Theater kits.

Makin’ your own pasta, the Japanese way
Sure, you can get an attachment for that Kitchen Aide mixer which will allow you to make your own fettucine, but short of cannibalizing your kids Play Doh pumper number 9, you won’t get the chance to make elbow pasta or wheel pasta or those cute little bow ties. If you could do that, then making pasta would be something more interesting as there are literally hundreds of styles of pasta that can be made by pushing your semolina through a die cast mold. This Japanese model, called “Pasta Pasta” does just that.
