Popular Science has created their own list of the best 15 James Bond gadgets of all time. From the article:
"From 007’s jetpack in Thunderball to his iconic laser-equipped Omega watch, the James Bond movie franchise has always had its finger on the pulse of its audience’s gadget lust. We at PopSci were a bit disappointed at the dearth of gizmos in this year’s Casino Royale (which for some reason—cha-ching—were mostly made by Sony), but our discussion about the current film sparked a debate in the office about spy gear from Bond films past. Which was the sexiest weapon? (The venom boots in From Russia With Love.) The best vehicle? (Depends whether you want your car to swim or fly.) The deadliest accessory? (Gotta be that briefcase.) In the end, we compiled a list of our 15 favorite Bond gadgets of all time."
You can view the list HERE.

The aquarium is is cylindrical, and stands 24.5 inches tall and 13.5 inches around, so the fish will need to be small, but on the plus side the tiki will fit just about anywhere. You can populate it with either freshwater fish, but the tiki also comes with synthetic sea salt, "live" sand, and a 25-watt submersible aquarium heater to create a salt water environment for tropical fish.
The price tag is $429 and you can pick one up HERE.

Although I think you first pick of a place to visit should be Vegas, some of you might want to go else where. The website World66.com looks to be your ultimate travel guide. The site boasts information on over 20,000 destinations, and over 80,000 articles written by other travelers. Once you select your destination, you can even take the guide for that area with you by downloading it to your PDA or smartphone.
The guides cover the usual things like getting around, nightlife, and what to do and see. It also covers some of the more out of the way things, like where to find Internet cafes so you can send those wonderful "wish you were here" pictures to mock your friends who are at home going through the daily work grind.

Only a concept vehicle at the moment, the Hyanide impressed the crowd at the 2006 Michelin Challenge Design show.
The Hyanide is designed to run on a flexible rubber tread which runs along the machine’s entire underside. So if any part of the bottom is touching the ground, the Hyanide should be able to move no matter what the terrain is. The tank-like tread consists of 77 identical segments which flexes independently to not help with traction, but it would also allow the motorcycle amazing cornering ability.
To read more about the concept vehicle and see a 3D model, head over to the Popular Science site HERE.

Not only does it have a unique look, but it also some hidden attributes as well. The shaker is made of Namb metal that retains the cold three times better than other metals. This means that you take it out of the freezer and pour several chilled martinis without having to use ice. The shaker has an integrated strainer, and will never tarnish, crack, chip or peel.
Read more about it, or buy one, at the Hammacher Schlemmer site HERE.
