iPod, iTunes, iPhone and more Gadgets

Forget about good hygiene practices eliminating your fears of halitosis, technology is here to the rescue! The pitch: Simply blow onto Seju Engineering’s Kiss-me Meter just before planting a wet one on your date, and an LED indicator determines whether or not you should make the dive for first base (or you could pop a Tic Tac, whatever works for you, really). The test: One confidant Engadget blogger landed right in the middle, scoring a three. Which sounds about right to us.

There’s not much to say about the Motionbulb that can’t be extrapolated from the above image and the product’s name: it’s a CFL bulb with a built-in motion detector capable of, uh … detecting motion from up to 25 feet. Walk into a room, light goes on; leave the room, light goes off. ‘Nuff said. They say the $20 bulb will last five years, which means it should still be around when those inefficient incandescents go the way of our favorite robo-dog in 2012.

You probably remember the SplashTop instant-on, Linux-based OS from past posts or perhaps developer DeviceVM’s demo at last October’s reader meetup in San Francisco. It’s well known that this embedded feature will ship standard on select ASUS motherboards, but as we were cruising around the PC manufacturer’s booth today, we happened to catch a rather unexpected application for SplashTop: running on the EeePC. Neither ASUS nor DeviceVM has made any announcements with regard to porting the software onto the popular ultra-portable laptop, but unless our eyes were deceiving us, this Eee was all ready to run Pidgin, Skype, or a browser without booting into the main OS. We’ll keep our eye on this one, as the merger of these two technologies would certainly create quite the compelling user experience.
