Not all coffee tables are created equal – the $7,000 Giant Coffee Table Touchscreen Computer can certainly attest to that, otherwise, how else would it be able to come with such an insane price tag, so much so that you could buy a decent second hand car with that kind of money? Well, there must be something about this particular coffee table that would require you to fork out some serious coin for it, other than the fact that it would fit in nicely into any living room regardless of the decoration around it.

The bulk of the money would go into the innards of this particular coffee table, where a fully functional Windows 8 computer has been incorporated within, alongside a 32″ touch screen display, which makes this ideal for checking out enlarged photos or maps, in addition to playing games (simple ones would be best, especially those that require a touchscreen display), or enabling multiple users to comfortably view the same data from the couch without missing a beat. On top of the table lies an anti-glare LCD screen which functions in the same way as that of a tablet – albeit at a far larger size. Other features include half a dozen touch points which pave the way for easy navigation, apart from 1,366 x 768 resolution. It will be powered by an Intel Core i5 3.2GHz processor, 6GB RAM, a 500GB hard drive, sports a quartet of USB ports, DVI, audio-out, and microphone ports, a 1GB graphics card, Wi-Fi- and Bluetooth connectivity.

If you were to ask people, it is safe to assume that most of them would want to remain as young as possible – forever even, which is why there has been many legends whispered about the elusive Fountain of Youth, or how about emperors in the Far East who have always searched for the elixir of youth but came up empty handed? The answer is simple – everyone dies eventually, but this does not mean that you should not make an attempt to look your youngest possible throughout your life! Other than having a happy and healthy one, you could always enlist a little bit of help from gadgets such as the $149.95 Neck Firming Stimulator.

The Neck Firming Stimulator is one device which will firm up the muscles of the neck in order to help diminish wrinkles and sagging skin. This is touted to be the same kind of technology that was implemented by professional estheticians, boasting dual electrode nodules that have been built into each of the two included handheld units in order to emit harmless, mild electrical micro currents which will be able to gently contract muscles in the neck so that the skin will be tightened, leaving you with a firm, lifted appearance. Different from creams sold by snake oil salesmen, the electrical stimulation is said to penetrate deep into muscles to increase subcutaneous blood circulation and oxygenation, which would help reduce the amount of sagging of the skin around your neck.

So, I am quite sure that many of us who follow the world of football (soccer for those living in the US) in the current summer transfer window would be twiddling their fingers anxiously, wondering whether Gareth Bale would actually make the jump to Real Madrid for what would possibly be a new world record transfer fee of 100 million Euros. Well, as you dream about your kid making it big on the world soccer stage so that you can be his manager and start living a jet-setting lifestyle, perhaps providing him with the right tools to practice consistently would be a good idea. Enter the $99.95 Ball Returning Soccer Trainer, which is a two-in-one soccer net that allows a player spend more time perfecting his or her game, instead of using the bulk of that time to retrieve balls.

The Ball Returning Soccer Trainer comes with a sturdy steel frame that has been shaped like an X, where one side of it has been draped with a curved net. Whenever you kick a ball into this area, it will naturally follow an upward arc, before it rebounds with spin and height. This would mean one has to trap and control the ball before taking the next kick, inadvertently developing the fancy skills that are required of a professional. On the reverse side of the trainer, you will find that it comes covered with a taut, vertical net which is capable of absorbing most of the ball’s impact before returning it, so that you have an ideal surface to practice your shots on goal as well as one-touch heading and passing drills.

When it comes to sports, I really admire those photographers who have fantastic equipment to go along with their skill – especially when they capture those immortal moments of sporting glory, such as Muhammad Ali knocking someone out, or Mike Tyson biting Evander’s ear off. How about Roger Federer picking up his first French Open title? Well, if you are your son’s biggest fan on the soccer field, then you might want to get the $1,200 Sports Analyst’s Camcorder as part of your parenthood arsenal – after all, you would not want to miss your son’s match winning goal, do you?

Not only that, regaling such a tale to your family and friends are not going to make the cut, unless they see for themselves. This is what the Sports Analyst’s Camcorder does – it will be able to capture slow motion video, while sending it sans wires to a tablet computer, and coaches and athletes are able to analyze the performance. Of course, parents with dough to spare can do that, too, as mom records the young tyke, while dad does the analysis. This camcorder is capable of shooting high-speed video at up to 600 frames-per-second, sporting a 900% higher frame rate compared to your everyday camcorder, with the ability to play back super slow motion video that makes it useful to know where one has gone wrong in a golf swing, ball kick, or baseball pitch. Hardware underneath the hood includes a back-illuminated 1/2.3″ 12.8 megapixel CMOS image sensor and a wide angle F1.2 lens, 10X optical zoom, optical image stabilization, and the ability to record video in 1920 x 1080p high-definition video at 60 fps.

I clearly remember when I first caught sight of a pocket projector – it certainly bowled me over with the possibilities, but after getting one, I rarely used it. Come to think of it, it has seen action just a handful of times, so much so that I can even count it on a single hand. I suppose it does not cater to my needs, but enough market research and case studies must have been done in order for pico projectors to be approved and manufactured. Those who tend to make business presentations on the go might find this $249.95 iPad Pocket Projector a boon, especially when you need to throw that money making pitch among a group of potential investors, instead of meeting them one by one.

The iPad Pocket Projector says it all, where it can hook up directly to an iPad for it to instantly display enlarged views of photos, movies, and presentations. It will arrive in a physical form factor that is smaller than a smartphone, tipping the scales at under 5 ounces, where it will plug into your iPad’s 30-pin charging port, making your iPad look like some sort of Borg entity. In a nutshell, you can transform a small room into a mini movie theater of sorts sans complicated setup or cables. The iPad Pocket Projector will come with a 35-lumen LED that delivers 6″ to 60″ diagonal images from 8″ to 78″ away with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Unfortunately, the projector’s resolution maxes out at 640 x 480 pixels, but thankfully there is a manual focus wheel that helps you fine-tune image clarity, alongside controls for the audio level. The LED itself has been rated for 20,000 hours, and it will play nice with all iPads, the iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS, and third and fourth generation iPod touch.
