Seriously, just listen at this and try to stifle your sighs. "Bling Bling USB optical mouse." "Jewel Necklace USB flash drive." "Turtle-Look USB 2.0 Hub with a tray." "Magic Sensor LCD Alarm Clock." "Insect USB Mini Fan." Yes, friends, this is the type of utter garbage we're dealing with in this episode of
Crapgadget. Honestly, we're simultaneously astounded and deeply depressed that anyone would even consider dishing out their hard-earned cheddar for any of this rubbish, but we're doing our darnedest to pretend that these were simply created for us to have a laugh at.The week's strongest contender? Some superhero magnet pixels... and that's saying something.

there not that bad but the sensor clock im betting you will have more people throwing them than using them
(i do admit they are all craptastic but the clock is far worse than a mouse or a usb hub)
The clock is kick ass. It this were an engadget post covering MAKE: everyone here would be in awe of a gesture controlled clock.
Why bitches gotta hate on lookin' fine while one computates?
o purty, lol
Why?
The mouse...aaaaaaaahhhh
The bling on the mouse is probably worth 5 cents... isn't the point of bling to show off your status?
You guys forgot to add Zune 3.0 to the list. It is the worst gadget of the year, you know.
/s
/s fail.
I know. I miserably failed.
Well, I think everything is good except for bling bling mouse and fridge pixels.
Necklace is not bad looking, turtle is sweet, sensor alarm looks minimalistic and nice and insect fan... useless as it is but still could get some cooling done.
Voted bling bling mouse.
Although you might have a prize winninig pair of tits, I'm still happy I'm not sharing my apartment with you.
I think I need the turtle. With features like "A funny tortoise on your desk" and "a decorative pet in your work environment", it makes me wonder how I've survived without it.
I love toytles.
Indeed. Though I still don't get why "A funny tortoise on your desk" and "A decorative pet in your work environment" are two different features. Voted the turtle. I'm surprised it's one of the least voted.
uh, you vote for the crappiest one.
the turtle is amazing, hence least votes.
The turtle is awesome! un-crap it engadget.
I actually think the magnetic pixels are quite cool. You could make some pretty good artwork with those! ¬_¬
I KNOW - I want to make the cast of Chrono Trigger on my Frige in all their 16-bit glory!
Aww, come on now! Except for the mouse and the turtle these things aren't really that bad.
A nice mouse for T-pain and co, for sure

Eh? The clock seems pretty cool, and the USB hub has a card reader. The magnetic pixels do seem pretty fun too.
RE: Comments on Magnetic Pixels

just... lulz
I'm going with the necklace. All the other crap you'd keep in your home or office and hopefully out-of-site.
The necklace on the other hand you might be tempted to wear out, subjecting the unsuspecting public to its hideousness. It looks like that cheap costume jewelry my grandmother used to wear.
You see...I was thinking it looked more like those cheap plastic rings u get as consolation prizes at the fair or put inside a pinata. I think the jewel necklace takes the cake as well. The mice are hideous but for a ten yr old girl it might be..."fabulous" err...something. But yeah that jewel usb necklace...wtf were they thinkin.
i like the necklace because at least all those little dumasses that actually wear there usb keys will be wearing something that doesnt look half bad around their neck.
Gotta be honest, the pixel thing is kindof rad.
Yeah so much fun could be had just making pixelated rude pics on your fridge. I may get a few sets. I would never make the pics that were intended.
I think this one beats it the bling mouselol http://www.gadget4all.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00593&cat_id=011&dept_id=003
I second the fridge pixels. I could actually have fun with that.
The clock actually looks like it might be kinds useful
I'm gonna get the magnetic pixels and put them on my fridge...
Fridge pixels are fucking awesome!
Well, that certainly demonstrates the versatility of the word.
Something that has "Bling Bling stuffs are trendy nowadays! People loves them very much!" as a description and costs US$15,00 surely deserves my vote.
P.S.: "People loves them very much!" ain't a typo, check out the Bling Bling mouse website. It IS there like that!
Jewel Necklace:
1. Capacity: 2GB
2. Giant jewel design
3. Fashionable and elegant
4. Size: 30*17*9mm
5. Weight: 25g
Please look at point 3.
Why? Don't you agree? ;)
my niece would love the necklace!
I voted the mouse because of this:
"Bling Bling stuffs are trendy nowadays! People loves them very much! Here comes with another new bling bling gadget on your desk, Bling Bling USB Optical Mouse with crystals all over the top of the mouse which is a great decor and gift for friends and family."
Lots of people are saying that the pixels are actually cool (I agree), however they're the second worse according to the vote. I believe this is because the article is causing people to be biased. Bad Engadget, you should be more open minded about activities for your free time.
Anyone know where to get the Pooh Speakers seen in the last shot of the insect fans?

My wife would get a kick out of them and I need to build up parts for my daughter's first PC too.
I like the mouse.
Sorry for being a girl. :)
Why you gotta hate on the turtle hub? It was pretty nifty! And the fridge pixels are a step up from magnetic poetry
I like the Sensor Alarm.
What men consider crap, women like, and vice versa. You Engadgeters need to get women on your team. They use technology too, and there are more of them than men.
my wife might actually use one of those.
I'd consider buying the necklace if I had to work at a real office instead of from home, but I'd wear it under my shirt where no one would have to see it. Mostly, I'd consider buying it for my co-workers as a gag gift.
I want me some fridge pixels!
I quite like the turtle hub...
I could see myself *maybe* using any of the items except the mouse. The USB jewel necklace would actually make a nicer keychain fob for a female than most boring USB keys. I want to know what comes with the turtle: "Package Contents - 3-in-1 Combo (Card Readers + USB Hub and Thermometer) x 1" Card readers and thermometer?
But the bling bling mouse is by far the worst. Can you imagine how uncomfortable that would be to actually use? Maybe they should have added, "bling texture makes for great hand massages using mouse." ouch.
USB Necklace "It is also a great gifts for your lovers and friends, too! "
