This is one of the cooler and reasonably priced gadgets we’ve profiled on here, for certain. It’s an iPod dock, a cool colored lightning ball, a clock and alarm and AM/FM radio as well. We love it.
And better still: The colors in the ball will actually move along with the beat of the music. It’s [...]

“Cool” Gadget: The USB Fan & Thermo Clock
We love our multi-function gadgets, and this one is particularly “cool”. It’s a fan, temperature gauge and clock all in one: Meet the USB Fan & Thermo Clock.

Your own “Biggest Loser” Show: The BodyTrace Scale
