Control Your iPod With iMind: For Reals?
Honestly, I wasn't sure if I was getting punk'd again after all the internet April Fool's shenanigans this week, but after a bit of research, I think this is probably just a concept project. In a story posted on the UK's Telegraph this week, a Taiwanese electronics specialist has developed a mind reading headset to control your iPod. Since walking and looking down at your iPod is just too distracting, the iMind allows you to choose what song, or what type of song you want played, just by thinking of it.

Fake Geeky Product: iNoPhone
If there was an award for most innovative and side-splitting faux gadget or techie spoof, this week's winner would be a toss up between the iPhone Shuffle and the iNoPhone, which combines two products – a former Apple mouse and a bluetooth headset into one small and lightweight handheld device. Shown here on the left next to my famous cut out of the "real" iPhone the iNoPhone's end result is, well, nothing short of tremendous.
Created by the editor of Geektechnique.org: the iNoPhone "uses a proven user interface based on one button, letting you control your calls with just one finger.
Google Perfume: Love It or Leave It?
I happen to love this Google perfume because I think the idea that any man would want to douse his body in the scent of a search engine is hilarious.
While it is clearly a cheap knock-off product, it has that same kitschy appeal of the fake Shuffle from Korea or even the iNoPhone. And where do you find something like that?
Give The Gift Of The GotchaBox
In the market for a really great April Fool's gift?
