Alright. Stick with me on this one. You crazy Europeans love to created weird names for products, like The Mirror by Violet. That being said, The Mirror’ is one of the neatest gadgets I’ve seen in a long time. Hook the $60 plate up to your Mac or PC and get ready to read some RFID tags. The set includes Ztamps (glorified RFID tags) that you can stick in objects and assign actions. For instance, say you shove one inside a sandwich. When you put the sandwich on top of the The Mirror by Violet, it could open up Firefox and surf to the Scanwiches blog.

Sounds like a creative tool. I’d like to know how you’d use this cheap RFID reader. I’d probably shove some in empty CD cases so that the songs would automatically play in iTunes when activated.

Part alarm clock, part weather forecaster, part newspaper, part communication device, and 100% cool. If we knew something like this existed, you all would have known about it way before now. Nabaztag is a smart rabbit which is capable of so many things that it’s hard to explain them all here.

For example, you can email your family member’s Nabaztags, and the rabbit will dictate your email through voice. When they say this is a smart bunny, they really mean that this is a genius bunny with the mind of a secretary / assistant.
