The Study Ball – Finish your homework before going to play

The Study Ball is allegedly a real $115 product that prevents you from moving from your desk while you're supposed to be studying. Obviously, it's a complete sham unless it weighs at least 200lbs, because I can lift twice that with my littlest piggy.

The Study Ball gadget is a prison-style ball and chain that you can program to keep track of how much time you spend studying. Once you've selected the desired duration, you chain the ball to your ankle and the manacle won't come off until the schedule study time is up.A red LED indicator displays the "Study Time Left" and keeps you informed as to how much longer you've got to keep studying. The ball and chain are made of highly durable steel and weighs a total of 9.5 kg / 20.95 pounds, which makes it difficult to move while wearing it.
21lbs, pfffft. That's not gonna stop anybody from doing anything. Including, but not limited to: robbing a liquor store. ALL THE BOURBON OR YOUR ANKLE GETS IT! What? NO THIS AIN'T NO SKIP-IT! Via

Inventor designs raindrop MP3 projector

An inventor has designed a wacky MP3 player that does away with a traditional LCD screen in favour of a projection system.

The Music Drop player, so named because of its raindrop shape, casts track names, artist details and play progress onto surrounding surfaces, from walls and to palms. Oddly, the text’s projected in a spiral shape – which will surely make it hard to read.

Chinese designer Gowoon Jeong said he ditched a traditional LCD screen to help keep the Music Drop’s size down and to make it easier for people to see music information. He also claimed that the projection method gives... ahem... an “unexpected pleasure”.

The MP3 player has iPod-style buttons for skipping through tracks, rewinding and fast-forwarding. It looks like tracks are loaded onto the device through a micro USB connection, with the player suspended around your neck. Source: RegHardware
