A USB stick that can be plugged in both ways

Cool idea: This USB stick is completely symmetrical; it can be plugged in either way. The plug has always been one of USB’s weak points, so it is nice to see progress on this front. Right now, we are in a kind of bus standard limbo, as Intel is still trying to prevent adoption of USB 3 until Light Peak is ready. I like Light Peak, but hate having to wait for it.

Analog clock that adapts to daylight savings time

Even though this design is not too practical, I still like the idea: Tilt the clock to switch daylight savings time on and off. Without having to change the hand. After reading the comments at Engadget, one additional drawback (apart from the missing hour numbers) became clear: the clock changes 1 hour plus/minus 5 minutes, not 1 hour when tilted.
