Kinniku Mouse Stimulates Your Body
Today’s Around the World Gadget is from Japan. It’s called the Kinniku Mouse, cute huh? Well, not so cute when you see what this thing does! It apparently uses 4 little electrode pads to shock and stimulate your muscles as you work on the computer.
Translated to English, the name of the gadget is “Muscle Mouse.” It uses EMS technology (Electrical Muscle Stiumlation) to relax you for the long hard workday. From the translation it’s hard to see exactly how it’s powered, but it appears to either be from the movement of the mouse, or actually powered by the USB port. (Or a combination of both - the movement of the mouse activated the current which is powered by the USB port). The Japanese come up with some cool stuff!
Read on for more pictures of the Muscle Mouse. (more…)
“Skin-tenna” Uses your skin to transmit wireless signals

Skin-tenna is a technology that can be used for today’s high tech medical devices or personal gadgets, or both! It’s based on the conductivity of the human skin. Ever touch those old rabit ears on top of the T.V., or a loop antenna from your stereo and notice improved clarity? Well this is sort of the same principal. It uses a device to transmit signals harmlessly over the skin.
Sunglasses that help you lose weight? Wait…. What?
I’m sure you’re thinking “How can that be possible?” Well, I was thinking the same thing when I cam across the claim that these sunglasses can help a person lose weight. Although in America, a country with a growing obesity problem, people will believe anything and try anything. Especially something under $5. CheapOnlineGlasses has a section devoted to a variety of sunglasses that they claim will help you lose weight.
“Another interesting aspect of blue tints, is its color psychology - the least appetizing color of the spectrum. Instead of find[ing] hard ways to lose weight, maybe it is time to try some thing new and easy.“
Fire Bell Alarm Clock: Just try and ignore it!

The Fire Bell Alarm Clock has two jobs in life: 1) To look like the kind of awesome alarm clock that Ivan Drago would keep by his bed and 2) To wake you up. Of course, since Drago never sleeps, we can’t say for certain if he’s a Fire Bell Alarm Clock user. However, if anyone could withstand this clock’s assault, it would be “The Russian” from Rocky IV.
Vat19 is home of many cool gifts, and this one struck me as something I NEED. Waking up in the morning has lately become quite a challenge for me and I’m sure others have the same problem. This stylish yet effective clock isn’t a fire alarm but certainly sounds like one! I would gladly spend $14.95 to wake up on time every morning. Plus, no need for coffee since I’m sure this will get the adrenaline flowing! Find it at Vat19.com.
7 Port USB 2.0 Rotating Hub
USB devices are a dime a dozen these days, I’d even say they’re becoming more of a fashion thing! This little gem is sure to make your cluttery desk all that more interesting. Sporting 7 high speed ports that swing side to side with a 90° swivel range, this may help to decrease (or just increase) that clutter.
Of course it includes the extension cable, and comes in a sleek black color. Not much can be said, just you’re regular old hub, aside from it’s unique style. You can pick one up for only $17, quite a deal for a root-port powered hub.
Wi-Fi Detector Shirt
There are a handful of good animated T-Shirts out there, but how many of them display real time Wi-Fi signal strength? This one does! Finally you can prove to your boss that the signal strength in your cubicle sucks, and you don’t even have to say it, just throw on this stylish animated shirt for casual Friday and sit back and wait for the techies to come racing with a brand new range extender. (Actual results may vary).
