Tongue-in-cheek illustrations include both very honest captions (such as a universal remote that they warn cannot control your girlfriend) and maybe the best use of stereotypes all year (yes, this Japanese company uses ninjas wherever applicable). We've made a gallery for you to enjoy them all. Just remember to never, under any circumstances, use an air purifier as a table tennis partner.

Hey, that's almost as big as a laptop screen. It plays DVDs with Dolby Digital sound and can also read SD memory cards, so that means you can play MP3s, MPEG4 movies and display pictures on it, too. If bamboo doesn't suit your fancy, it's also available in assorted colors of (rich Corinthian?) leather.

But wait a minute here. If you're going to spend $1200 on such a device, why not just get a notebook that can do the same thing and lots more, and probably have a bigger screen and cost less? Oh, yeah, there's that rich bamboo exterior. We have to admit, the thing is mysteriously good-looking. But it's dumb. – Charlie White
