When I first heard of these I thought what is the point of having an FM radio in a pair of binoculars but for sports fans it’s actually a pretty good idea.

If you’ve ever been to a football match and found your self sitting in the top tier it can be a struggle to make out whose currently got the ball, hence the need for binoculars and if you miss not having the commentary you get on TV you can tune the radio to getting running commentary. Just hope the commentary is in real-time or it could get very confusing.

The FM Radio Binoculars are available from the Hammacher store.

This just looks cool, a mirror with an integrated LED display. It can be used to display the time or your own personalised messages (up to 4000 characters, effects and different fonts, remote control or connect to your PC).

Available at SUCK for £300.00.

Everyone has wanted a drum kit at some stage in life. Yet for most of us, we will never have one because of lack of money, space and possibly talent. It looks so cool when you see an experienced drummer in action, definitely attractive to the ladies.

I saw this gadget and thought, yeah, I want one of those! It’s not a useless gadget like a lot of others, it actually is a really cool gadget. It’s like playing air guitar except it’s not a guitar, its drums, and you don’t imagine a tune, you can hear one!

I find RFID (Radio Frequency ID) technology a bit like magic, I’m amazed at how small it is and that it can communicate wirelessly. The Memory Spot research team have come up with a new chip that makes an RFID chip look huge in comparison.

How good is your webcam? Well, most of us would try to compare the quality in terms of brands. Some professionals would say CCD web cams are far more superb than CMOS web cams. Furthermore, there are those who can rotate and turn by itself. Basically, even with the advanced technology of these latest webcams, they all have one weakness. That is, these traditional hardwares are only capable of focusing near objects, and nothing more. Objects are a distant would even appear blur.

Standards are so restrictive these days and who would one actually imagine of having a USB web cam mounted with a telescope? That’s true! As such, even distant objects would appear to be extremely clear and capable of reproducing high quality images on your computer.

This pair of gadgets is something I would really like to try out. The Walkie Talkie Watches are two completely functional watches with all the power of a set of two-way walkie talkie radios.

To the average person they look just like an ordinary digital watch, however with the almost hidden retractable antenna, they double as two-way radios that can communicate with crystal clarity up to 3km. There are 8 channels and 38 sub channels to choose from, giving you over 300 possible secure lines of communication to ensure your privacy. There is also auto channel scanning and squelch control included.

Wrinkles, like the Tax Man, will catch us all eventually. However, before resorting to a surgeon’s scalpel, why not try PowerCosmetics Anti-Aging Skincare Patches. The product is basically a low voltage battery which is printed onto flexible, paper-like patches (Power Paper). The Power Paper battery is composed of zinc anode and manganese dioxide-based cathode layers and the cells are made of propriety inks. This means the batteries can be printed onto paper or other such materials to make a flexible and thin battery. Power Paper cells are environment-friendly and safe, containing no mercury or other heavy metals. I love science me!

Suppose you are a traveling salesman with a yen for the local anchorwoman. You spend day after fruitless day on the road, only to come home each night to a lonely hotel room.
