This makes me think of those machines where they put a band around the waste and shake, shake, shake the person to help with weight loss (70's thing? Doesn't work, is what I do know). Actually, body vibration does work, if used properly and with the right equipment. Added vibration to exercises like squats and push-ups can make your muscles contract up to 60 times more than normal. This version is $400. (Or you can go for the deluxe Power Plate brand, which will cost you a nice $4,000 for the home device.)

It's not a hoax. I actually did some research. Madonna uses one. And the Oakland Raiders. No kidding. (via Time)

Sphere Wireless Speaker

First to recommend

Description

The Orengon Scientific speakers with transmitter has been one of the most reliable one we've tested so far. I recommend this one (instead of their other models) because it is a bit more universal with what you can use it with (not just ipods). You can use it for ipods, mp3's, stereo, and even the television. Of course we all love wireless. (Do you have a wired mess under the desk too? Mine is becoming unruly!) $112

Screwpull by Le Creuset Screwpull Wine Opener Gift Set

2 people recommended this item

Description

Le Crueset's original design is an all time favorite of mine. I bought it for my father for Christmas a couple years ago and his wine opening has never been the same, nor easier. Super easy, elegant, and the perfect gift for any wine enthusiast. Say hello to wine that corks like butter.

Fully fiunctional remote control helicopter that is small enough to be extremely annoying in the office or at family gatherings. Of course, I immediately wanted it for myself! Notice the twin propellers? That's for improved control of this baby. $90
