Crapgadget: ‘Just because you can doesn’t mean you should’ edition

To be quite frank, CES this year was so tame that we kinda thought our beloved Crapgadget series would have to go on hiatus. We needn’t have worried. This latest batch of technological breakthroughs includes the regular team starters we know and love — a mangled animal-emulating USB hub and a heart-shaped Bluetooth dongle — but also some new recruits from way out of left field. We’ve got those crazy awesome finger lights above and a starfish-shaped quad-band cellphone that apparently manages to fit in a camera and space for dual SIMs, but the true winner has to be the camera-shaped spy camera. Working off the classic spy trick of double- and triple-bluffing, this pinhole camera is embedded inside what looks like a poor (really poor) man’s point and shoot compact camera, which we suppose is the last place anyone would look for a spy cam. Hey, maybe there’s something to this idea after all. Anyhow, get clicking then come back here and vote, won’t ya?
