Video watches seem to be getting more and more common these days, and here we have yet another one from ThinkGeek. It comes with a shiny exterior to blind all and sundry, retailing for $79.99 a pop – a $20 discount off its original price.

Audio is accommodated very nicely, with MP3/WMA playback and 5 equalizer modes. A built-in microphone allows recording of notes to self, meetings, conversations or various ramblings for later playback.

VBeat Air Drums
Great – first we have air guitars, and now the company of air drums are here to break whatever remnants of silence and peace all around. The VBeat Air Drums from Silverlit is pretty much self-explanatory.
When human beatboxing just won’t cut it anymore, the V Beat Drum still lets frustrated drummers lay down some rhythms. With different sound styles and pre-programmed rhythms as well as an instructive guided learning feature, these slick sticks are an awesome way to make some noise! Motion sensors in the sticks detect the beats without any need for you to actually hit anything with them. So, they’re just the thing for anyone who wants to practice their drumming without the need to for an expensive and cumbersome set of drums.
The VBeat Air Drums retail for £29.99 a set.
Light Bulb Phone Charms
I’m not sure if these Light Bulb Phone Charms are really essential, since setting your phone to silent mode with vibrate turned on is often more than enough to catch your attention whenever there’s an incoming call – still, I guess you might want to distract the rest of the cinema by telling them just how busy you are with this Light Bulb Phone Charm.
We bet Edison didn’t think his bright idea would end up in everyone’s pocket, but now it can. These mini Light Bulb Phone Charms are the perfect accessory for today’s super stylish mobile phones. Simply put your phone on ‘silent’ to save the world from some hideous ringtone, and every time you receive a call or text, instead of a polyphonic cacophony, the mini Light Bulb will flash at you and the world in general in a decidedly retro, cool way, letting you know that someone out there loves you, or is chasing an invoice
The Lightbulb phone charm can be yours today for £5.95, never mind if you’ve constantly churned out bright ideas or not.
Robot Lobster Detects Mines
The Robot Lobster dubbed “Robo-Lobster”, was created with the task of detecting mines under water. It has 8 legs, can move around in any direction and weighs 7 lbs. It is built from industrial strength plastic and can sniff around the ocean by using it’s 2 antennas. The claws at the front and tail at the back are used to keep the robot lobster stable in turbulent water.
Building robots is all the rage for some people. They are trying to get them to do what humans cannot, while also trying to build them as human as possible. This lobster to be honest, is a little freaky looking and not something I would want walking my way as it measures 2 feet long. But, considering it’s main priority is to hunt out mines in the ocean surf I am more then happy to let it continue on with that dangerous job.

Razer Pirahna Review
I remember the early days of gaming where graphics were far more important than sound, and as time progressed, this thing called sound cards took the world by storm. It was pure joy listening to the sounds of lasers from my X-Wing clearing off yet another TIE Fighter, and 8-bit audio evolved to 16-bit, 32-bit and eventually 64-bit sound. Now we have high end sound cards that made the cards of yesteryear look and sound absolutely pathetic. The level of gaming immersion increased even further with the introduction of multiplayer gaming, and with that, headsets took off in a rather big way. After all, you wouldn’t want all and sundry to hear where you are at or what you’re doing in the game, do you? Headsets soon grew to include microphones for team mates to communicate with one another, just like how one would do in real life warfare. We’ll take a look at the Razer Pirahna today and see how it performed.
