Stu.pid Or Genius: Ten Craziest New Gadgets by FXKing2012(m): 7:54pm On Jan 11, 2013
The Consumer Electronics Show –
full of technological innovation,
thousands of vendors vying to be the
next big thing – and some of the
craziest gadgets I’ve ever seen. Now
there’s a fine line between crazy and
brilliant, and sometimes it’s hard to
tell the difference. So here are my
top ten picks for craziest gadget at
CES. Stu.pid or genius? You decide.

1. Necomimi Brainwave Cat Ears –
$99
In case you can’t tell for yourself if
you’re being attentive or relaxed,
put on these brainwave-sensing cat
ears. Then think relaxing thoughts,
and the ears will droop. Focus your
attention, and the ears perk up. A
fine therapeutic tool for those with
attention deficit disorder - or a
slightly pricey party trick. Also
available as devil’s horns.

2. Hapifork – $99 in Beta on
Kickstarter
Continuing the trend in products for
people who are completely unaware
of their own behaviors… The
Hapifork is a Bluetooth-connected
utensil that collects data on how fast
you’re eating – and it vibrates in
your mouth if you eat too fast. True,
most of us probably don’t take
enough time to appreciate what
we’re stuffing in. So big points for
wanting to make people more self-
aware around eating. Developed by
Hapilabs in France, where they
really know how to enjoy a good
meal.

3. Health Mate Half Sauna
I’m really not sure why someone
would want to bake just their lower
half, but if you hate it when your
arms get hot but love it when your
butt does, have I got a product for
you. Sit in this cedar box, and slide
the top closed, just above your belly
(the top would make a fine surface
for a laptop if you weren’t worried
about the heat). And the heat? The
one I tried was set to 150 degrees
Fahrenheit. Yow.

4. iPotty – $39.99
Trouble toilet training your toddler?
Well, there’s a technological fix for
everything these days. The iPotty
from CTA Digital is a plastic potty
with a swiveling mount for your wee
one’s iPad. Of course, it doesn’t
actually come with an iPad, but it
does come with a splash guard,
which might come in handy.

5. Game Skunk – price not yet
available
It’s finally here – Smellovision! The
Game Skunk from Sensory Acumen
adds odors to your gaming
experience. Playing a shoot-em-up
set in the desert? How would that
be complete without diesel fumes
and odors of exploding IEDs and
burning tires? Ah, I love the smell of
napalm in the morning…

6. WheeMe Massage Robot - $99
Sadly, your personal Fembot has not
yet arrived, but you can lie down
and place this 4-wheeled device
from DreamBots on your back. This
5-inch long robot automatically
steers itself over your body without
falling off, caressing you as it goes.
Maybe they’ll hook up with Game
Skunk and add the smell of the
beach and suntan oil.

7. Sharky the Beaver – Free App
(plus $129.99 for the Sphero
Robotic Ball)
Sharky the Beaver almost makes
this list just on the basis of its name.
But before I get into Sharky the
Beaver, a little history: Sphero has
been selling robotic balls since way
back in 2011. You can remotely
control these tennis-sized balls with
an iOS or Android device. You can
drive them around your living room,
play tag with other Sphero users, or
make the ball chase after your little
brother. Sharky the Beaver is
Sphero’s first venture into
Augmented Reality gaming. The
big, exciting augmentation? Now,
when you look at the tablet or phone
device running the Sharky the
Beaver app, instead of seeing the
remote-controlled Sphero ball, in its
place you see an animated beaver.
Wow.
Celebrity Headphones
We’ve seen celebrity-endorsed
headphones for years (think “Beats
by Dre”), but now you don’t even
have to be a musician to have your
own line. Ferrari has a pair; Usain
Bolt has a pair – what are these, the
world’s fastest headphones?

8. House of Marley Headphones -
$59-$69
Partially made with hemp. Yah,
mon. Now extra legal in
Washington and Colorado.

9. Tim Tebow Signature Series
Headphones - $299.95
I don’t know quite what being an
evangelical football star has to do
with music, but it may be no mere
coincidence that these headphones
are from Soul Electronics. Tim says
he’s thinking of renaming one of the
headphone models in his line – the
one formerly called the “Jet.”

10. Motorheadphones - $99-$129
Remember the mockumentary “This
is Spinal Tap” about “the world’s
loudest band?” Well, not to be
outdone, the hard-rocking metal
band Motorhead has come out with
their own line of headphones.
According to Motorhead’s lead
vocalist Lemmy Kilmister, “We
designed these headphones to
deliver everything louder than
anything else.”
