Ear Popper Relieves Middle-Ear Pressure Discomfort
For you travelers who tend to have problems equalizing the pressure in your ears when flying, this gizmo will blow pressurized air into your aural cavity to make you feel better.
Note that this goes in your nose, not your ears. Probably wouldn’t work if you have a cold or are otherwise congested, which is when I get the worst discomfort.

Solar-Powered Purse
Far be it from me to expound on the difficulty of finding tiny objects (like a giant mass of keys) at the bottom of a purse, it’s almost cliche at this point. Well, this purse has solar panels on the side, and the inside lights up when you open it. The zipper is actually the switch! Fantastic!

Tokyo’s Sky City
Japanese architects want to change our approach to urban crowding. They think we can live in the sky, and they hope to build a vertical city twice the height of today’s tallest skyscraper that would house, employ and entertain hundreds of people.
What are you thoughts on the possibility of this? Would you live in it?

Apple iPod Nano
Take everything you love about iPod and shrink it. Now shrink it again. With 2GB (500 songs) and 4GB (1,000 songs) models starting at $199, the pencil-thin iPod nano packs the entire iPod experience into an impossibly small design. So small, it will take your music places you never dreamed of.
AA Cell Phone Charger
Dontcha hate it when your cellphone runs out of battery, and your charger is miles away? Rather than deal with this massive disconnect from everything you know and love, just plug this little gizmo to your phone, and stick a AA battery inside. A single battery can provide up to 3 hours of talk time.
At $24.95, seems worth it.

Keep Your Eyes On The Road and Your Hands Upon the Wheel
Engineers at Toyota have come up with a camera that attaches to your steering wheel and watches your eyes. If you take your eyes away from the road, it’ll chime. If you continue to ignore safety, the brakes will start to be applied to slow you down.
The system will be offered in luxury Lexus models in Japan next spring.
