Star Wars Darth Vader Force Glove

Don’t you sometimes wish that the world of science fiction might just cross over to our realm? Case in point, take Star Wars for example. I seriously wonder just how many people would join the Light Side of the Force if they had Force powers, considering how the Dark Side seems to be a whole lot more enticing with Force Lightning and Force Choke. Well, assuming the Force is strong in you in an alternate world, you might want to get some training on this side of reality with the $19.99 Star Wars Darth Vader Force Glove.

You can now have a chance and playing the role of a Sith Lord, all made possible thanks to the power of magnets. Yes sir, no midi-chlorians are involved in the Star Wars Darth Vader Force Glove, as you are now able to perform feats such as Force ‘push’ and ‘pull’, thanks to the polar opposite magnetized gloves in your possession. Each purchase is accompanied by the relevant cutouts and a learning guide to get you started right out of the box. It won’t help you with your piloting skills that Vader is so famous for, though.

Wall Switch Watch

The next time someone asks you for the time, you might want to flip a switch. Wait a minute here, you say, what do you mean by “flip a switch”? Aren’t most, if not all, timepieces supposed to tell you the time at but a glance without the need to press a fancy button? Not so with the $99.99 Wall Switch Watch, where it will sport an old school switch that you will need to flip in order to tell the time.

There will be digital LEDs in a shade of red which light up whenever you flip said switch, so that your eyes will be able to see what figures have formed, and the chemicals in your brain successfully puts two and two together, leading you to blurt out the current time to whoever asked for it. Coming in a black silicon strap with stainless steel buckle, this is definitely far from a refined Swiss timepiece, but at least it offers something that is dramatically different from your regular watches. The LEDs will help conserve energy by turning itself off after 5 seconds of inactivity.

Bounce Wi-Fi Enhancer

When it comes to Wi-Fi signals, we definitely have come a long way since the 802.11a/b and even 802.11g days, where 802.11n has been the de facto standard for quite some time already, having extended range like never before. Well, you might want to consider the $24.99 Bounce Wi-Fi Enhancer as your next gadget purchase around the home as well as at the office, where this particular device is said to be able to give your Wi-Fi signal a boost in strength – up to three times, in fact.

Anyone given a go as to figure out its effectiveness in the real world?
