These colour morphing egg-shaped lights could be cool. They’re wireless, rechargeable, and phase through eight different colours from red, blue, green, purple, orange, yellow, pink, to purple – and then stick at red when the internal batteries are flat some 6 hours later.
I’m sure children would go crazy for them, and would actually look forward to going to bed at night if you promised them they could take these multi-coloured glowing eggs up to the bedroom with them!
Radiators are generally pretty boring inanimate household objects which is why it was a refreshing change to see this uniquely designed radiator from Prefit. The radiator is made from glass and looks more like a piece of art than a regular wall mounted white heater. I wonder if you could take the concept further and do away with radiators all together and just have windows.

If you have an annoying neighbour or more appropriately a neighbour with an annoying barking dog you’ll love this gadget, the stupidly named Super Bark Stop.
The Super Bark Stop works by deterring barking dogs with an ultrasonic tone that only dogs can hear. Whenever a bark is detected the Super Bark Stop will spring into action, hopefully (if the dog isn’t too dumb) it will associate it’s annoying barking with the the vengeful (but harmless) ultrasonic sound hence causing it to shut up.
You can get the Super Bark Stop (why did they call it that) from Untangled Life.
They say you are what you eat, and these kitchen scales can tell you, exactly, the nutritional content of just about any food you use to prepare a meal.
The scales come with an in-built computer that can analyze the nutritional content of the food you are weighing, from a database of over 1,400 different foodstuffs.
The scales not only report on nutritional information, but they can keep a record of total dietary intake, for up to two people, so that you can monitor calorie intake as well as other important dietary information over time.
I don’t think Thomas Crapper would recognise this as toilet any more than Orville Wright would recognise a stealth bomber as an aeroplane.
Neorest, the company that manufacture these high-tech looking loos, describe them as “an experience beyond words” and having read the specifications, I don’t think they’re exaggerating!
The lid automatically opens as you walk up to the throne. The seat’s heated of course, and as you get down to business, a catalytic air purifier kicks in to remove any “unwanted odours”, with a manual power override for those particularly unpleasant visits.
OK, your wife hates you and your children don’t respect you, but you can be king every time you sit in this magnificent multimedia chair. It has built in speakers, and even shakes; converting low frequency, sub woofer signals into mechanical vibrations.
Connect it to your home theatre, or PC or PlayStation console if you’re gaming, and enjoy the ultimate multimedia experience.
If you’re the proud owner of one of those friendly robotic cleaners the Roomba or Scooba and are getting a bit bored of the look of them; instead of reverting back to conventional cleaning which you do your self (as if) you can now skin it. So the idea of skinning has now moved from software applications to domestic robotic cleaners (as I’m sure everybody expected).
This is one cool gadget for the TV addict. The SlingBox (by Sling Media) is an easy-to-use device that plugs into your satellite, cable, DVD or DVR and transmits the video signal over a broadband connection to your remote PC desktop, mobile or PDA. So, you’ll never have to miss your favourite show when you’re away from the living room.
