Drawer Fridge - Norcool Scandinavian Designs
first there was the dishwasher-in-a-drawer, then the oven-in-a-drawer, now... the fridge-in-a-drawer, all for a fad-ulously inflated price... estimate 2-3x that of a similar-sized refrigerator -- the price of style.

HTS8140 Ambisound Soundbar - Philips All-In-One Home Cinema Sound Solution
not the first, or the most flat speakers -- look at electrostatics or even TDK's flat speakers for those. this looks pretty slick, and the touchscreen sounds good, but I doubt if the surround quality is anywhere near the Pioneer AIO systems, probably only be really successful for people buying Philips TVs.

Spy On The Kids - Puppy Cam
a fun gimmick, but ideally this would work when you're out of the house -- a web IP-based version would be much more useful.

Urban Body Graffiti - Walee's Graphic Designed Skin
very sensual while tasteful, thanks to the right canvas. his style evokes graffiti, tattoo and henna art. it's not an altogether new technique, however. I think the reason it hasn't become more popular is, not too many girls would be happy to wear his art for the enjoyment of a wider audience, unless they're being well paid.
