WEIRD GADGETS: GOING TO THE DOGS

I personally have never owned a pet that wonder far enough that the City Pound, the local SPCA, or my neighbour cannot find. Unless, you have a lot of money to spare or you are just a uber techie. I, personally, do not see the justification in using GPS for lost pets. This GPS device seems to be overkill not matter how much I love my family pooch. The product is called the Global Pet Finder and it promises to alert you via cell phone or website where you pooch/cat is at this very moment. The GPS device will cost around $349 USD ($600 CDN). Global Pet Finder is a subscription service, meaning you have to pony up monthly fees of $18 – 20.Another wonderful gadget for all you pooch and cat owners is a cellphone service for pets call PetCell by Pets Mobility. PetCell allows owners to phone and talk to their pets through a speakerphone strapped to the dog/cat. No word on availability and cost of the service.

Largest LCD display in the world.

Today, at CEBIT 2006, LG and Phillips Electronics introduces the world’s largest LCD panel – 100 inches. No word on when they will become available commercially or how much this big boy will cost. Beautiful Korean girls not included.

WEIRD GADGETS: PILL CUP

Well, this really isn't a gadget per se, but what the heck – it's weird. If you have got problems and I mean very big problems (i.e. check out the size of the pill in the picture), swallowing your medicine, plus, you have got $4.00 to spare. This little item is just for you. An ingenious plastic cup that helps you digest to enormous pills.
