Turning off a TV with the touch of a button doesn’t sound that great, any remote can do it. But this remote works for virtually any TV around.

Yep, the TV-B-Gone will turn just about any TV off within 69 seconds (most TVs only take 17). All you have to do is point, just make sure you don’t look too suspicious.

Playing with this in crowded areas would be so much fun! Turning the TV off in a bar during the Super Bowl, or World Cup would cause chaos! There are probably some good, honest uses for the TV-B-Gone, but they’re just not nearly as much fun.

Carrying around your iPod without a case in your pocket is likely to cause some damage, taking it places like the beach, with all that sand and water, is iPod suicide.

Fortunately there is the iSplash, a water and weather resistant boom box for your iPod. It also works with any other MP3 player/CD player with a mini headphone jack.

A hot tub that you can pack up and take with you on vacation to the beach, or store in the closet on vacation makes it sound pretty appealing. Not that hot tubs aren’t already appealing, they definitely are. (We’ve actually written about one of these before, but this model is a bit more luxurious.)

The Portable Inflatable Whirlpool Spa is just that, an inflatable hot tub. Don’t be fooled, this isn’t just some piece of cheap plastic, it’ a real, working hot tub. For set-up, you just inflate with the built-in pump, and then fill it up with a hose (250 gallon capacity). The built-in pump, which has a filter, continuously circulates the water to keep it fresh.

If you’ve always wanted to be able to play your PSP in the bath but were slightly nervous to do so a solution is at hand, zip lock gadget bags.

The zip lock bags (AKA Aquatalk) come in a variety of sizes to suit many every day gadgets, like PSPs, Nintendo DS flip-top mobile phones etc. As my knowledge of Japanese is on par with my knowledge of quantum physics, I’m not sure if they’re fully waterproof or just splash proof but either way I think I’d still be a bit hesitant to have a bath with a) an electric device and b) a couple of hundred pounds worth of gadget.

Ever listened to a heartrending whimpers of a puppy who could not get to sleep at night because it is separated from its beloved master who is sleeping in a warm and comfortable bed? Most dog owners who reared their pets from young can identify with moments when the puppy just could not get to sleep no matter what, rendering you sleepless as well. You were probably wondering to yourself how you could solve this problem of separation anxiety and perennial insomnia at an affordable cost.

Logitech products have been written about here before, but never one of their web cams.

The QuickCam Pro is a webcam deigned specifically for laptops, meaning it’s small and can latch on to the top of your laptop. To put it in perspective, the QuickCam Pro is the size of an average house key. For carrying your QuickCam Pro around, just use the included carrying case.

This gadget is for our more kinky readers, the VibraWhip, your very own electronic spanking device.

It comes in a choice of 3 colors and each VibraWhip has a little leather hand at the end for authentic spank sessions. I’ve no idea how painful these are and I can safely say I’ll probably never find out.

The VibraWhip is available from Wicked Tickles for £45. [Found via Gadget Candy]
