It’s scary what the Internet can do to someone that isn’t prepared to handle its greatness. Children, for example, don’t have the capacity to know when they’ve just been on the damn thing too long. Their eyes could be bleeding and their finger could be blistered from typing, yet they would continue on to the Nickelodeon site, regardless. If you’re worried that your kid spends too much time on the Internet, there is a very unsubtle go about getting them off.

This Internet Connection Remote Control controls the connection on your home PC much like one of those contraptions that lock your car or set its alarm remotely, except without the cool “beep, beep”. Pressing off cuts the connection, essentially cock-blocking their way to Internet goodness. Just don’t tell our girls about this. We don’t want them getting any ideas. Available for $39.95. — Andrew Dobrow

Korean company SNT presents IOPS. An on-board PC designed to manage all of your electronic needs while driving. Being shown at CEBIT in Germany, the IOPS runs Windows XP through its main output 7″ touchscreen. In addition to the obvious features of a GPS, the IOPS also has T-DMB channels, which is not even available in the U.S. yet. IOPS also comes with a hard disk in which you can record live TV and then burn it on to a disk all while doing 95 on the freeway. What a rush!

And since IOPS can interface with HSDPA networks, you can also receive an Internet connection for on-the-go shopping, RSS feed reading, or anything your heart desires. All of this is done as its linking with your Bluetooth device and displaying a video feed from your back bumper. Very impressive. Also, very cool. — Andrew Dobrow
