We knew that this was a “security device” that had to appear as a coolest gadgets feature, the only problem was; what should we write? We thought; “Words fail us; the photo says it all!” might do the job, but being the professionals that we are, we’ve dug deep and written a few comments to paint a picture in your mind:

This is a novel lighting idea, light shades made out of lingerie, AKA Tramp Lamps.

Each Tramp Lamp is hand-made by dipping a piece of lingerie into a curing solution so that it stiffens and maintains the shape of a worn under-garment. A light is then placed inside the lingerie to create the unusual lighting effect. As lights go it’d certainly a talking point, just hope they don’t make a male Y-front version.

German artists Dialog05 have put together a range of conceptual USB devices. These are pieces of “art” rather than actual working USB gadgets but pretty cool none the less.

My favourite has got to be the USB Bra, with the phrase “Unplug and play” being aptly appropriate :). They also have a few ideas which could work and be marketable in the “real” world, like the USB watch and USB padlock (a means of securing your data).

You can see and laugh at the full collection on the Dialog05 site (found via Digg).

Since the previous first post on a Buslink 64GB Flash drive, another company, Kanguru Solutions, has also introduced its very own USB 2.0 64GB Flash drive.

The Kanguru Flash Drive Max has various models, with the highest one with a storage capacity of 64GB. Basically, this thumb drive (or flash drive) is no different from other flash drives of smaller capacity, in terms of physical appearance. It is supports file storage on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms, without drivers required (except for Windows98 and older).

This has got to be the ultimate bath, the Coast Spa Extreme Home Theater Hot Tub, it’s not a limited edition but as it’s priced at £17,495 it might as well be.

This amazing spa is large enough to accommodate 8 seated adults, has a built in LCD display for watching movies, cool compartment for drinks and ice, as well as 80 strong water jets.

If you fancy splashing the cash they are available in the UK from Coast Spa.

If you’re like us you’ll enjoy the odd tinnie and barbecue in the sunny summer months. When you have guests round it can become a bit of a pain making trips to the fridge when ever peoples drinks run dry. That was until the roll bar came along.

The roll bar may look like a cross between a wheelie bin and a dish washer but it’s actually a totally mobile outdoor refrigerator. Once charged it provides 5 hours of ice cold beer which should be about the right amount of time for you and a few friends to consume the 57 cans it can hold :).

Available just in time for the BBQ season from Firststreet Online.

Which advert are you going to notice more: a poster on a wall, a paint job on the back of a bus or a well toned midriff sporting a custom advertising paint job. If you say anything but the later you ain’t normal.

As advertisers have known for years “sex sells” so by painting adverts onto the regions we all want to look at anyway, it is a guaranteed way to get an advert noticed.

It’s that time of month week day when another “revolutionary” way of carrying your iPod is released. It’s getting too warm to wear an iPod jacket and a belt with iPod buckle holding up a pair of shorts just looks daft so what you need is an iPod backpack.

You’d expect most backpacks would be big enough to hold an iPod (and you’d be right), what makes this one that weenie bit different is it has duplicated the classic iPod controls on the shoulder strap. This means there is no need to fish around in the bag to skip that one dodgy track that seems to be compulsory on every album.

Available from ThinkGeek for $99 (will the iPod accessory craze ever end).
