Wanna hook up fish pond to your iPod? Then this might be for you. Pet stores in Australia have been selling a portable speaker with a built-in fish tank, designed to hook up to portable audio devices like the iPod. It is selling for 60$ and its currently drawing fire from animal rights groups for not providing adequate space for a fish to live. Meant for Betta fish (also known as Siamese fighting fish), the 650mm iPond has been said to be insufficient, since a single Betta fish requires around 10 liters of water to swim around and receive a proper amount of oxygen. Acoustics experts also say sound from the speaker, which is built into the bottom of the iPond, could transfer into the fish tank, bringing up another potential hazard. What else will people think of?

The Epos Digital Pen and USB drive has to be one of the coolest gadgets I have come across so far.

The pen and USB work together, so that everything that is written is converted into text that you can edit. Writing with the pen is easy, and it is possible to use the pen on a notebook or a stylus tip on something else. Then, once it is time to upload, just plug the USB Drive into your port for some editable text action.

The Epos Digital Pen and USB drive is due to go on sale sometime next year, no word on pricing yet.

The Brain Gold Mouse is the perfect gift for the narcissists that we all know and love. Yes, everyone has at least one friend that thinks he or she is smarter than they really are. But, by buying them this mouse, are you really affirming their intelligence, or are you taking a not so subtle stab at their ego? They will love it and hate it, let’s just hope that they use it, because there are cheaper 800 DPI mice out there. The price is around 43$.
