Want a tattoo but can’t stand the idea of a ink filled needle jabbing you a million times? Well girlly-man, you can rest easy, because now you can just print designs out and have a temporary tattoo. Whether you want the “I’ve been to prison” look, or even if you are a young and loose female wanting a unique tramp-stamp to lure the man-meat, it’s now easy.

Just create your own tattoo design, then once it’s printed you just need to apply an adhesive sheet to the printout and smooth out any bubbles. When you remove the adhesive sheet, the printed tattoo will remain with a sticky surface allowing it to be applied to your skin with a wet sponge. They’re water-based and non-toxic. If you avoid bathing they will stay on you for about a week, otherwise they can easily be removed with soap and water.

Similar to Microsoft’s Surface, and straight out of flicks like Minority Report, the Sensisphere takes the interactive user interface to a whole new level. It’s sort of like using a crystal ball. Proof that technology is looking more and more like magic. Maybe more like a crystal disc than a ball, since the meter-wide sphere is attached to the wall.

You can use your hands to browse through and work with the multimedia-based content. Check out the video below to see how cool this thing is. I can’t wait to see this technology in about 10 years. The best part is that you get all the coolness of Minority Report, without Tom Cruise’s annoying pearly whites.

Toshiba’s Neoball-Z Real Pride bulbs do away with the corkscrew look, going back to the old bulb design. They are actually fluorescent lamps. But the most interesting news is that they claim to have a life span rated at 12,000 hours. That’s about 1.2 times better than the other products on the market, which is 12 times better than an incandescent bulb. The power consumption rates at 10 watts, which should be a big money saver.

You can get them in warm white, day white and daylight colors from July 1st onward. No word on price, which is really the main thing I would want to know. I’ve tried some of the corkscrew variety and didn’t seem to save any money at all, so I’d be willing to give these a shot.

Let’s see if I have this right. You pee on the stick same as usual… Then you plug it into your USB port like you let the potential daddy plug it into you… We really have to stop using the USB port for every damn thing people.

So when you plug it in you get all kinds of data about what’s in your urine, other then the fact that this is all highly unsanitory. Sure, any other home pregnancy test will let you know if you have a bun in the oven, but with this you can get fancy charts and graphs…from your pee. It will cost you $17.99 if it’s not a late April Fool’s joke.

It looks like a flashlight with a cord attached, but that would be silly wouldn’t it? Almost as silly as the microwave concept that it really is. It was designed by Martin Zampach, and this microwave is far from traditional.

If your one of those types whose diet consists entirely of hot dogs, sausages, sticks of bread and the like, it would probably work out well for you, despite the fact that your heart is about to burst. I’ll stick with the traditional microwave, just a little while longer.

Spring is finally upon us and that means that it’s time for some of you to begin murdering plants. Quite by accident of course. I know you would never do it on purpose. A self-watering planter like this one can help. It looks like a fairly typical plant holder, but inside it has a reservoir that stores water and is capable of watering the plants automatically.

The grow chamber draws water from the reservoir when it’s needed. The end result is that your plant lives and you are also not wasting water. You can get them in a variety of colors for $20. In the kit you’ll get soil, plant food and an instruction book. It’s still at your mercy in one sense. You do have to refill the reservoir from time to time.

Some of us like to take the simplest things and make them complicated. Like this door chain for instance. This thing will make it beyond complicated to get the door open, keeping others out and keeping you in…forever!

The Defendius was created by mad genius Art Lebedev. I understand the concept and it’s a good one, but maybe a medium sized maze would have been best. Something between the original and this crazy labyrinth. Still, I guess if there are people you really don’t want to see, you can always blame the Defendius. And when they find your corpse after two weeks, half eaten by your cats, they will know the Defendius was installed.

I’m not sure how fun toast is capable of being, but certainly it’s got to get better then pushing the lever and waiting for it to pop. The Zuse toaster works like a dot matrix printer for toast and will burn 12 x 12 pixel images onto your bread. It can be programmed for random patterns or you can use your own designs if you like.

It’s probably the first truly interactive toast and your mornings no longer have to be boring. Unfortunately, this is still in its concept stages. No doubt the designer is greedy and keeping all the fun for himself. But one day soon our toast will get an upgrade. Until then, toast will be as boring as it ever was.

These somewhat realistic looking outdoor candles are made from silicone and use an LED light bulb to simulate the natural flickering effect of an actual flame.

There are actually a few benefits to using fake candles. They are safer, you won’t get that nasty smell when you blow them out, and you can still set a nice romantic mood while at the same time impressing her with tech. And who knows where that will lead. On a full charge the fake candles can last for about 12 hours. You can get a set of 4 with charger for $89.95.

If you don’t want to go through the trouble of actually walking outside and turning your sprinklers on, you might enjoy this Remote Rain Water Control. Maybe you don’t like exercise. Who’s judging you?

All you have to do is hook this little gadget up to your water line and attach the hose. Then just keep the remote somewhere handy(Like that’s gonna happen.) and press the button when you want to turn the water on or off. You could also watch at your window and when the next trespasser walks through your yard, give him or her a good soak. That would be fun enough to justify the $69.99 price.

What makes the Akva Sound Musical Waterbed interesting is that it provides a dedicated base where you can place loudspeakers inside the bed. Which I imagine would make it possible to have the ultimate loudspeaker alarm that would catapult you out of the bed. But that’s not what it’s for.

The base plate is available as an accessory or as an integrated part of the waterbed and it’s more about audio options. All you need to do is to connect it to an audio source and play your favorite music. Sounds great, but most people would probably opt for the audio system they already have nearby. No word on pricing at this time. What’s that guy doing anyway? Looks like he’s getting ready to levitate off the bed…Or fart… I think that’s a guy…Now I’m not sure.

If you are concerned about how much energy you are using, but are forgetful and need some encouragement, this little switch will give you a visual representation of how much energy you are using. The switch lights up only a little when you’re not using much energy and it shines brighter when you’re wasting too much.

What with energy being invisible, it’s easy to waste more then you intend to. So a visual reminder is just the thing. Not many other details on this one for the moment. Like how much of your house this will take care of, etc. It might be good if it were vocal though, “Turn off some lights you wasteful pig. What did you buy me for if you aren’t going to listen to me.” Nagging always gets things done after all, as any married person knows.

Nothing sucks more then walking around in the dark and stubbing your toe. It hurts like a @!#*!…The FootLume carpet design should be able to help with that. It’s a high-tech rug with electroluminescent lights and weight sensors. As you walk in the dark, the rechargeable rug lights up and guides you. The light won’t bother those still sleeping and best of all, no stubbed toes.

Two students at London’s South Bank University designed it. The prototype was shown at the Ideal Homes show, where they hoped to find a manufacturer. We may actually see this one on our floors pretty soon.

You just had a baby, and you’re not sure if the man you’ve been living with is the father. You don’t know if it’s your boyfriend’s baby, your ex’s baby, or even your boss’ baby! Well, you no longer need celebrity scum like Maury Povich to tell you who’s the baby daddy! Just go to your local Rite Aid.

Identigene has announced that its $29.99 Identigene DNA Paternity Test Collection Kit is now available for over-the-counter purchase at Rite Aid drug stores. You can find it in over 30 states throughout the U.S. It was offered on a trial basis last November in California, Washington, and Oregon. But now demand for the test was so high that they decided to make the test more widely available. So by all means, ho it up safe in the knowledge that if you get knocked up, you can nail the bastard for child support.

Even the cleanest bathroom has invisible nasties lurking around every corner. Whether you are a germophobe or not, it would only help matters if there were some way to flush the toilet without actually touching that bacteria ridden cesspool. There is! Time to put the peddle to the metal bathroom tile, with the Foot Flush. “Changing the world one step at a time”.

For $20, you will never have to flush by hand, ever again. It hooks to the flushing mechanism in your toilet bowl. Take that toilet! After years of your sweet caress on it’s jiggly handle, it will now be touched less then Rosie O’Donell in a room full of female Tennis players.
