In all honesty, we usually leave Sundays for copying and pasting Sharper Image ads and dreaming about ionizers that can fit in our pants (all while we nap off our wine cooler hangover). But the news just keeps on coming, folks, and it doesn't look like it's ending anytime soon.

Zenith has just announced their new Flashmatic device. How can I best explain this gadget to the unenlightened masses? It's like holding a television in your hand, except without bearing the weight of a tube display or wood paneling. Surely the Flashmatic will revolutionize the world. Just think, no longer will we need to have households with 2-3 children just to get up and change channels for us—meaning we will never have to share a twin bed with our spouses again.

Still, in an age where my PS3 plays cordless, we wonder why SOMEONE didn't come up with the Flashmatic sooner. But we're guessing that the advanced "yellow beam" technology must be trickier than it looks. – Mark Wilson
