How the hell have we been able to live this long without these things? There must be dancing in the streets of Perth right now…

Bigfoot Footage?
Could this be the proof that people have been looking for all these years? More than likely not, I think it’s a ploy to get some money by selling some ‘actual’ bigfoot footage…
That’s Sgt. Monkey To You, Perp!
I guess these guys have never seen the movie Monkey Shines.
The Mesa SWAT team wants a monkey in its ranks.
Dressed in a Kevlar vest, video camera and two-way radio, the small monkey would be able to get into places no officer or robot could go

iPot: Internet-Enabled Hotpot
Not sure if you could still get to the wifi connection if you didn’t pay for the monthy fee. The Zojirushi company makes some nice home hardware, I know I’d like to own one of their automated rice cookers but the hot pot with wifi is a tad over kill. Might be good in an office if your too lazy to turn around and check the water level if you want tea (remember offices in Japan can be pretty small)
The Zojirushi Corporation has developed the first Internet-Enabled Hot Pot. The i-Pot monitors its usage statistics and sends them off wirelessly (802.11x, presumably), allowing other parties to monitor your tea-drinking habits with bated breath. The marketed application for the i-Pot rests largely with the elderly—if your obaasan misses her regular tea break, the i-Pot can send a message to someone so they can check up on her. As the product page says, “The electric pot becomes the barometer of vigor.” Available for roughly $50 in Japan, with a one month trial option available.
DVD Beer Fridge
It’s only a prize! You can’t buy one!!! Of course, that dosen’t mean you can’t build one yourself… Mini fridge ($175, get a nice one), LCD screen ($165, look on eBay for units from Hong Kong, they are pretty nice), DVD player ($50 on up, replace the stock optical drive with a slot loader) and some time. Great thing about most refrigerators is that the doors just have insulation in them. I challenge anyone to build one, send me a photo of the one you build (not one that you can buy, if you can even do that) and I’ll send you something.
