With technology getting better and better everyday there are so many gadgets. Some of them are really cool and different, while some are just plain weird and strange. Well TEENage stumbled on a few really strange gadgets, but while they may be weird, they are very cool and get the job done.

Flying alarm clock
This gadget will start to fly around the room making a buzzing sound like a mosquito. This then means you have to get up and find it to turn it off. If you think hitting the snooze button will get rid of it, you're wrong, it's going to take flight again. So you will have to get out of bed again and go look for it. Now if you're a heavy sleeper eventually it will run out of power, which means it will drop on your head, making you wake up. As funny and weird as it is, it somehow gets the job done.

USB Hotplate/4-Port Hub

MUS2 Mouse
This is a cordless wonder, and a change of design from the normal, boring computer mouse. Its cursor-like shape will definitely help separate it from the pack. It has a range of 2m; a resolution of 800 dpi; a frame refresh speed of 2300 fps, and a handy battery power indicator housed in the mouse handle to warn you when the battery is running low.

Though it looks weird, it's made for smooth easy handling with its suede-like texture. It uses two AAA rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries. This will definitely have people gawking at your computer station!

USB Hotplate/4-Port Hub
This device keeps your drink warm and toasty via your PC, and has enough space to plug in your camera, your two jump drives, and charge your tech-savvy phone. It plugs straight into your PC's USB port to create a heated coaster for your cup or mug. Now your coffee doesn't have to go cold while you're studying at your desktop.

As previously mentioned this hot plate is also a 4-port USB hub, meaning you won't have to disconnect anything vital to plug in something else, allowing you to use more USB-powered devices at the same time. Also forget the loving relationship you had with your kettle, you won't be seeing much of each other anymore. Get cozy with a bigger mug and keep on drinking warmer for longer.

Verballs

Talking into an old-fashioned mic is so 20th century. Make your VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) experience more interesting with this wonderfully-decorative peripheral.

Make calls using your favourite Internet calling software like Skype and be alerted everytime you have a call by the little monster's waving hands and flashing horns. If that doesn't do enough for you, to make you feel like you're actually talking to your device; since its mouth actually moves in unison with the person's voice, don't be alarmed-this feature is easily turned off.

Coupled with its mp3 playing and downloadable ringtone capabilities, the Verballs also work with text to speech software. These funny little creatures are sure to make lively any conversation.
