The Nexspeaker FS-701SW sailboat speaker system has us torn between awe and disgust. On the one hand, it's a 2.1-channel system offering stereo sound through its two, paper-thin 7.5W sails. Plus, a 15W subwoofer is cleverly housed in the boat frame itself...there's a bit of love in this product compared with its glowy gag USB counterparts. On the other hand, it's a speaker that looks like a sailboat. And once you buy one of these novelties, they breed. Then before you know it, you're one of those people who wears a hat around at work and makes everyone call you "captain." Trust us, it can get messy. $60 [product via tfts]
