Happy Sunday. This, my friends is a Digikoozie. It's a $10 beer cozy that'll scroll up a message of up to 200 characters -- non reprogrammable, mind you -- on the side of the fine Bud you're swilling. You can use it to show everyone your sign, pet peeves, preferred gun manufacturer, favorite NASCAR driver, and who cuts your mullet. The future isn't coming. It's here. Here in the heartland of America.–Brian Lam

It has to be the bargain of the day, nay, the week. Meet the £9 DVD player from Asda, making it a lot cheaper than most DVD movies. The supermarket chain has said that there are 80,000 of the ridiculously cheap Durabrand players up for grabs in all of its 316 UK supermarkets.
It used to cost just under £18, but then so did the ones on offer by Tesco and Argos, but by halving the price you can expect these things to fly of the shelves. Is it any good though? Who cares? It’s £9.
Who cares if it’s slightly ugly or if people already have two DVD players at home, this thing will sell for no other reason than they’ll be able to whip it out at the pub in front of mates and say proudly: “You’ll never guess how much I paid for that!”-Martin Lynch

Cellulite exists. It’s not a myth. Even celebrity hotties suffer from it. Apart from surgery, not all the treadmill bashing in the world is going to shift those unsightly fleshy clots. But wait! There is a solution!
Throw away that scalpel and hop on board the CelluBike. Looking like some form of CT scanner, this device lets cellulite sufferers pedal while having their body penetrated by infrared technology that heats up the cellulite and then flushes it through the higher metabolic rate achieved by exercising.
It will also rid the body of nasty toxins like those left behind by narcotics, alcohol, heavy meals, nicotine, sodium and cholesterol. This has appeared on Good Morning America so it must work. Right?

Makers of fine novelty TVs, HannSpree, has updated its line with the musically-inspired HannsVass LCD TV. The new TV makes up part of the Style range, whose design has been inspired by the look of the cello.
Alongside its curvy sides, this 15in TV is clad in black walnut wood with a polished lacquer finish. The controls are situated on top so as not to ruin its good looks. That said, this is a fairly basic TV dolled up in a nice set of designer clothes.
The resolution is 1024 x 768 but response time is just 16ms so expect some blurring during fast moving content. While performance is not its strongpoint, if you want something very different for a second TV then this is the way to go. Just have £400 ready to go.
You can see more in the Style range here.-Martin Lynch

Instead of digital digits, or sweeping hands, this concept watch gives its face an hourglass form. And tells time using LCD pixels like so many trickling grains of sand.–Brian Lam
