Ambient Orb/Ambient Umbrella
Check out these Ambient gadgets. The Ambient Umbrella has a wireless transmitter, which connects to accuweather and depending on the rain forecast of your locality, it will show a certain light. If the light is blinking, it means rain likelihood, take the umbrella with you! Isn't that a cool thing?
Likewise, the orb, which you place on your desk, connects to the internet and lets you know about weather/pollen/stock market/traffic congestions and many more. If the NASDAQ is just going down some percentages, the orb will light up red and vice versa.
Both gadgets are sooo useful!
