Designed to be "so simple a two-year old can use it," this RFID Mirror—which comes with a mirror, two programmable micro-rabbits and three Ztamps RFID tags—is supposed to recognize different objects you show to it and also perform certain tasks you've assigned to the Ztamps via USB on your computer. For example, waving your umbrella over the mirror will make it tell you the weather, scanning your wallet in front of it will get your bank-statements e-mailed to you, or flashing that photo of you and that hot cheerleader will automatically send a text-message to your wife to let her know you'll be late for dinner.

The purse works by having an RFID reader inside that knows when each item is inserted by its RFID tag. If something's not there, the light on the outside shows an outline of the item. Husbands and boyfriends everywhere rejoice.
