Or at least two modified ways to eat. There's a pair of new 'gadgets' on the market that aren't particularly important enough to get separate posts, but I'm happy to bring them both to you here for your viewing pleasure.
For the first, you can now eat like a truly wasteful rich person while staying within your budget. Well, staying within your budget if your budget includes $40 for two sets of five chopsticks, anyway.

It may not be your typical "gadget", per se, but this new chewing gum is worth a quick look. Just as the title indicates, it is non-stick gum, specifically. This doesn't mean that the gum is in some form other than the stick shape, but rather, it won't adhere to anything. For example, how many times have you walked the city streets just to step into a big, pink gum wad?
So who's behind all this? A guy by the name of Professor Terence Cosgrove, a British chemist. Professor Cosgrove's company has apparently made a cheap polymer which will make the resulting gum hydrophilic.

The title pretty much gives it away; ROSIE is the lovechild of Apple and the common, oversized coffee table. So far, some seem to hate this thing while others think it's innovative and chic. I'll admit, I'm oddly attracted to it. But then, don't we all sort of want at least one
massive, pointless coffee table in our living rooms? I think yes.

Ever wonder what would happen if there was a mash-up between HP and Voodoo? You probably haven't, but the result is a cool gaming PC nonetheless. The Blackbird looks fierce and has been built for performance, including some pretty unique features and tricks.
This PC is said to be the first in its class to use full system liquid cooling.

You knew it was coming; the new suite of drool-worthy Apple iPods have arrived, and they are looking spiffy as ever. Of course, there's plenty of things I'm not so fond of to balance out the good. With that, let us dive into a brief analysis of the new iPods.
We'll start with the smallest, and the least exciting: The iPod Shuffle. There isn't a whole lot to be said here; the Shuffle's previous design was simple, and there's hardly anything to redesign.

The Koolatron is a mini vending machine that is perfect for a dorm room, family room, or anywhere else you see fit! The Koolatron holds ten cans of your favorite drink at a time, and has the option to dispense to different drinks. The machine accepts quarters, or tokens. Your choice. The machine also has a coin return, just incase anything does happen.
The Koolatron cools the beverages to 30° F below the room's current temperature.

This clock is really cool. It seems like a normal black of wood, but turn it on, and bright red digital numbers appear! How does it happen? I don't know, but the mystery clock is made by Discovery, so I'm sure there is some crazy science behind it. Here are some cool specs:
- Looks just like a simple block of wood
- LED digits appear on the front of the block
- Easy-to-read red digits
- Time and date alternate every 10 seconds
- 12 or 24-hour time display

This is a great setup for amateur photographers, or people who run their own online stores. The kit consists of two backdrops, a compact light box with an integrated diffuser screen, and two high output lights with adjustable, retractable legs. Remember, this all fits on your desk, so for someone who works from home, or can't always be in the studio, this kit would be ideal.
Imagine how much more trusted you would be selling things on sites like Ebay if you took pictures of the products you were selling, rather than just stealing pictures off of the company's own site! This useful package is available, in whole, for only $80.

Frankly, I'm impressed. This is one of those products you see and think, "Why didn't I come up with that?" The design on this toothbrush is pretty neat, so you all should listen... uh... look...up.
So, before you go on your business trip, night out, or rendezvous with Bond, you simply fill the handle of the Tooth Brush with your favorite tooth paste. Then, whenever you feel the need to brush, no matter where you are, you simply twist the handle, and toothpaste is dispensed onto the bristles.

Being stressed out is no fun. It can cut doen on your productivity at work, ruin a date with that special someone, kill a night out with the friends, or just plain make you
really frusterated. Now, of course, there are plenty of products out there that claim to reduce stress. Rubs, pills, exercises, mind tricks, etc. Well, the StressEraser is different than anything I've seen yet.
Now, some may call it an exercise, but, well, I don't quite know what to call it.
