THE BINO-CAMERA

Yeah, this can only have noble uses. This I am absolutely sure of. From Korea comes a pair of Sun Photo binoculars with a 2 megapixel digital camera built-in. Why would you need a pair of binoculars with a digital camera? Perhaps all those birdies you're looking at just want their picture taken? Yeah, that must be it. The binoculars/camera feature a 8X zoom, a paltry 16MB of internal memory and an SD/MMC slot. While you're busy taking pictures of your helpless victims from afar, may I suggest a few other items to go along with your slow descent into madness, like the video spy glasses and the ever-popular rearview mirror sunglasses? The binoculars will retail for around $388 when they're released in Korea.

INTELLIGENT SPOON

This isn't as much an intelligent spoon as much as a spoon studded with sensors. We've got a thermometer, a pH sensor, a viscosity sensor, and salinity sensor, all designed to test and upload food data as you eat it. This is an MIT design project for use in recipes and formulas. For example, sticking an alcohol sensor on there would be perfect for wine and beer-making.
