Half a monitor with 12 hair spray cans actually! What is it that makes us enjoy the destruction of PCs?

Just in time for summer, all the female sun worshipers can now maximize their tan with a bikini with a built in UV meter.

The meter is battery-powered with a lifetime of up to two years; and is waterproof of course! The UV meter displays an intensity “level� of ultra violet intensity on a scale from 0 to 20.

A person’s sensitivity to UV depends mainly on skin type, but as a general guide a level of 3-5 would be considered a moderate UV strength, with 8-10 being “very high� and anything above 11+ being extreme.[via]

Sorry guys, this is for women only, or for men who are REALLY comfortable with their masculinity. The SmartSwim Bikini costs about $170

For those addicted to the iPod these headphones are for you. The Vibone is a waterproof headphone that use the bones in your skull to conduct sound. Pair them with a waterproof MP3, or your iPod in a water proof case, player and you’re ready to swim with your tunes. Available starting July 15 in Japan for Â¥19,800 or a whopping $170. Personally for the cost conscious I would recommend a zip lock bag for the iPod – that costs about a few cents.

On second thought, lets skip the zip lock bag for waterproofing.

Bowlingual can supposedly analyze your dog’s bark and tell you exactly what your pet is trying to communicate. Well at least it should! Its uses the Japan Acoustic Laboratory’s Animal Emotion Analysis System (doesn’t that sound complicated) to determine whether Fido wants to play or tear up your couches.

The price is a bit steep at $50, but can you put a price on the hours of entertainment that you will have when trying to bring you dog outside because the Bowlingual said so, and Fido resists. [via]

The Beer Butler gadget features a sliding base shaped like a football. When someone needs a fresh drink, you simply load it up and give it a shove in your drinking partner’s direction. The remarkable thing about this gadget is that as it approaches the edge of the table, it stops without going over the edge.

Guess the little gremlins inside that soccer ball, know where the edge of the table is.

This has far more potential for just the world cup. Just line this up next to your lazy suzan at the dinner table, and you have hours of entertainment.

Just days after Veoh was BLASTED for removing adult content from their website. It seems that Veoh will be the legal test case for online video sharing.

Adult entertainment company Io Group Inc. last Friday filed a lawsuit against Veoh Networks Inc., an online video-sharing service, in a potential important legal test of Web video companies’ liability for copyright infringement claims.

The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for California’s Northern District, alleges that Veoh, San Diego, was responsible for copyright infringement by allowing videos owned by Io Group to be accessed through Veoh’s online service without permission. In the complaint, Io Group, a San Francisco company doing business by the name Titan Media, alleges that consumers viewed its copyrighted works over 40,000 times through Veoh’s site between June 1 and June 22.

It seems as if Pandora’s box has been open. I guess, Veoh will be the test case in regards to online video. I always assumed it would have been YouTube. But in the tradition of all technologies, the ones whose growth was fostered by the adult industry always seem to be the lightning rods of attention, but usually the most successful.

This clip surely provides a little bit of nostaliga to all Apple fans. This is the launch of the iMac G3. I can’t believe the specs that used to wow us back in 1998.

The GPS navigation maker TomTom will be releasing celebrity voices that you can download and install on navigation unit. The idea is to charge $5 for generic voices (such as a surfer dude), and $10 for celebrity voices such as Mr. T, or Burt Reynolds. (I would love Joe Pesci!!!)

Can you just imaging while driving hearing Mr. T ‘jibber-jabber’ phrases like: “Pay attention to what I’m saying,” or “Mr. T gonna get you there in one piece … you gonna be there safely, or else!”

Somehow I think this will be a hit.

While these cell phone holders may look cool, funky and colorful, on closer inspection one can find a slightly more risque feel to them. Take a good look at the shape. Not so innocent without those Disney smiles and Care-Bear hugs. The name ‘Johnny Cell Phone Holders’ also gives insight to what the designers were inspired from.

They come in four colors, and can even hold your remote control. How badly do you want a Johnny on your desk?
