Software Bug Zapper
If there was a league table of truly pointless gadgets this would be somewhere near the top, probably just below the ice oven. As we know most software has the odd bug (even Microsoft testers aren’t perfect 
) well now you can pretend to fix them with the computer Bug Zapper.
The computer bug zapper, hangs from a hook and looks a bit like a normal bug (as in flying) extermination system, with it’s glowing yellow core of insect death. However the yellow light is just for show though it does make ZZZzzap sounds whenever a software bug is detected and destroyed.
I so nearly believed that this was the long awaited silver bullet of software development until I found that it runs on batteries and not USB! How low tech is that! I might try to get one of these on expenses from Think Geek, it’s probably more successful than 99% of the promised silver bullet books I’ve read 
.

The scrolling message bra – a cool cut at $500
Here’s one gadget that will have to stay on my alternative Christmas wish list. By alternative, I mean that’s the list that I will use after I win the lottery, or when my rich aunty passes on; neither of which are likely to happen soon.

Ultimate Wi-Fi Gadget (it’s a Rabbit)
This has got to be the ultimate wifi gadget that I have ever seen, the Nabaztag Wi-Fi rabbit. You may be wondering why exactly does a rabbit need WiFi, well to communicate with the rest of the world of course.

The talking beer glass – your own bartender at home
If like me, you enjoy the occasional glass of beer whilst watching a home movie or the football, then the talking beer glass is definitely for you.
This is a device that falls under the “cool gadgets you never knew you needed” category, which unfortunately we don’t have at coolestgadgets.com, so we’ve had to file it somewhat lamely under “whacky” and even worse; “kitchen”.

Speakers in your Sneakers
I had to laugh when I read about these new sneakers (trainers not chocolate bars to us UK folk). Dada (that well known footwear manufacturer that I’ve never heard of) are releasing a new kind of sneaker called CODE M that incorporates an MP3 player and speakers.

Temporary Graffiti
This glowing graffiti looks fun and as it disappears in 5 minutes or so shouldn’t cause the usual upset. It’s a bit difficult to explain how it works (not that I understand anyway) but watching the video here is probably the easiest way.
There is also a Sketchbook with a phosphorescent page and UV-light marker which would be great for temporary doodling. Unfortunately you won’t be able to get your hands on one unless you have already.
Released as a limited edition of 20 pieces (which sadly are now all sold out), each light-sketchbook comes with a custom made LightMarker. The LightMarker is a recycled and customised EDDING marker that comes with a UV-diode tip, which, when used with this sketch book, allows you to recycle your sketches on the phosphorescent page until you’re happy.
You can then resort to permanent ink, or just keep doodling. Depending on the ambient light conditions, your drawings will stay visible for up to 5 minutes, which is still longer than many ideas last.
It does look an interesting technology, though whether they can find a use for it in the real is another question.
