I’m really starting to think gadget manufacturers actually print a bunch of words (like USB, music, iPod, chair, book), cut them up, pick two at random and say: A-HA! Our newest product will be… Memory Foam MP3 Blackout Shades!

The idea behind this is that you can listen to your favorite tracks via the built-in headphones while relaxing your eyes. The cool thing is the Memory Foam - “a revolutionary visco-elastic foam that is made up of cells that open and close and adjust to body weight and temperature”. Which is very interesting but… why add the speakers? Can’t I just use my mp3 player with its headphones? Ah, right, that’s not techy enough…

What can be cuter than a pig? …Ok, lots of things, but piggies can be adorable too. Especially when they have a big snout that houses a speaker.

It’s Squealer, the USB pig radio! You use his tail to control the volume and push his ears to change station, and you can use it as a normal speaker if you connect it to your computer or MP3 player. It can be powered either by USB, either with batteries.

That’s it. Pointless, but cute. And guys… you know you’re scouring the web for presents… this is a NO. I hope I don’t have to explain why.
