        <summary>Pretty simple and effective invention. The Japanese company Seiren developed a series of special deodorizing undershorts called Inoidore Shukan Shoshu that can reduce odor by 80 percent in 30 seconds.The underpant consists of a special textile that contains ceramic particles and metallic ions with fibers, which helps absorb stink particles. Though it might be a lil expensive at Y4,800, but hey sometime you got to hide "it". Well, it still can’t remove the sound, which is perhaps worse than the smell. Made and sold only in Japan [source via Tokyo Reporter]</summary>

        <summary>This is straight out the old James Bond movies. A nappy necktie that also fashions as a spy camera. One for the ages. Thanko, the prolific Japanese gadget company that we all love had priced the Spy Cam Necktie at $128. It is compatible with XP and Vista and records up to 30-hours of 352x288 resolution video in .avi format. With good imagination, it can used to capture funny office moments and embarrassing ones too. Grab this nectie and feel important (ala Sherlock Holmes) and take sly videoes of your boss's secretary.</summary>

        <summary>A cellphone with a transparent keyboard may be neat but somehow I don't dig it. What about the prying eyes of people who might be seeing you tying ? The new LG-GD900 phone with improved UI and transparent keyboard was introduced as a concept at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. These pictures more than tell the story. My guess is the novelty should soon wear off. Anyway if you are planning to attend the CTIA 2009 tradeshow in Las Vegas, then you will get the chance to play with this baby. That's LG promise to you.</summary>

        <summary>This is latest in the series of weird USB memory gadgets. Midori is pretty cool. Wouldn't mind one for my desk. Besides being a USB device, it also will double up as a cute desktop object, huh? You will be able to store up to 2GB of DATA by popping the head off (ouch!!). To top it off, the cutie "Midori Otoko" is totally flexible, allowing him to do Impossible Yoga Poses! Now , isn't that something for all the die-hard Yoga followers. It is available for purchase here.</summary>

Wouldn't mind one for my desk. Besides being a USB device, it also will double up as a cute desktop object, huh? You will be able to store up to 2GB of DATA by popping the head off (ouch!!). </p><p><a href="http://wfn.typepad.com/.a/6a0105364cdc73970c011570508241970b-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="File_2_2" border="0" class="at-xid-6a0105364cdc73970c011570508241970b image-full " src="http://wfn.typepad.com/.a/6a0105364cdc73970c011570508241970b-800wi" title="File_2_2" /></a> </p><p><a href="http://wfn.typepad.com/.a/6a0105364cdc73970c01156f5a3829970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="File_4_2" border="0" class="at-xid-6a0105364cdc73970c01156f5a3829970c image-full " src="http://wfn.typepad.com/.a/6a0105364cdc73970c01156f5a3829970c-800wi" title="File_4_2" /></a> <br /><a href="http://wfn.typepad.com/.a/6a0105364cdc73970c01157050826f970b-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="File_3_2" border="0" class="at-xid-6a0105364cdc73970c01157050826f970b image-full " src="http://wfn.typepad.com/.a/6a0105364cdc73970c01157050826f970b-800wi" title="File_3_2" /></a> </p><p>To top it off, the cutie "Midori Otoko" is totally flexible, allowing

        <summary>The Japanese ingenuity impresses me in strange and unusual ways. Japan is a rainy country and there are a LOT of umbrellas out there. And, well, umbrellas get wet;-) and it can get messy when you need to carry them into malls or restaurants. So what do you do. You just do not carry them all the way in and make the floors wet and slushy like in other countries. In Japan, do what the Japanese do. Use the umbrella lockers.

        <summary>This is obviously a teenage boy's delight. A Japanese erotic game developer has come up with a game that tracks your head movements combined with looking at girl's panties from underneath. This picture tells a thousand words. Pretty simple to understand and easy to get used to it, if you know what I mean. The technology and the application itself is impressive. First time in the world. Good video here from Youtube.
