BBG Perfect Gadget List Shows That Tech Can't Improve Everything
BBG has done an impressive thing: It came up with a list of 10 perfect gadgets, unchanged by time or tech. No need to build the better mousetrap, because the tried and true mousetrap made the list. So did the wristwatch, the toilet and scissors. I don't agree with the inclusion of the toaster (I prefer a toaster oven), and I can't figure out how they left off the fork (unchanged since the Bible), but it's a good read. Hit the link and let us know of any gadgets that are MORE perfect. [BBG]

Uber-Review is promoting a neat feature it held way back in 2006, which shows ten of the craziest racers they could find on the old tubes. The list is a compilation of some of the vehicles we have seen before, but it is great to have them all in one place. Some of the speeding goodies include the Pac Man Car, Surface Orbiter, Rocket Bike and a bevy of others. The Hemi Trike is pictured above, which we think you will agree is completely ridiculous, but then again, it's not quite as ludicrous as the Jet Powered Beetle. Oh yes, there's a jet that spins up to 26,000 rpm when activated—crazy. Jump to check it out.

Pear Cables Make It to Yahoo's Worst Tech Products of 2007 List
While sifting through the umpteenth Tech Products of 2007 lists, we stumbled upon this Yahoo! Tech list that contains most of the usual suspects, except one of the entries interested us: Voted one of the 10 worst tech products of 2007 were Pear Audio "Anjou" speaker cables, those pieces of wire that cost $7,250 and that one reviewer inexplicably called "danceable." Yahoo referred to our report earlier this year that moved James Randi to offer $1 million to anyone who can tell the difference in a double-blind test between those cables and some run-of-the-mill Monster cables. Alas, while there was lots of talk and bluster, it turned out that Pear Cable wouldn't offer its cables for testing, and nobody was fool enough to spend the $7,250. Certainly not us. See Yahoo's list on the next page. More »

10 Terrible Technologies of Q2 2006
We're already well into July, meaning that 2006 is slowly approaching its glorious end. More importantly, that also means that we've had more time to see what terrible gadgets, gizmos and other technological toys companies have come up with. The crack staff at CNET have come up with a list of 10 of the worst tech ideas seen during the past three months. Some gems include Steve Wozniak riding on a Segway playing polo; the Kodak EasyShare One Wi-Fi, complete with awful interface and low quality pictures; and "X-Men: The Official Game," so bad that our soul still aches.
