DVICE Atom Feed —
... new alarm clock from Bandai in Japan.
The "Gun O'Clock" comes with an infrared gun. When the alarm goes off, a target will pop up from the top. In order to turn the shrill, beeping alarm off (which is coupled with a voice saying "Come on!"), you need to hit the bullseye. It's the perfect excuse to start sleeping with a gun under your pillow that has no chance of accidentally killing you in your sleep. It'll be available in Japan starting at the end of October for $34.

... with a hole on the side for your finger to go in. Don't get any dirty ideas, now.

The little box will sell for $30 in Japan, but I'm sure you can find it online for import if you really want to try it out.

Bandai Tuttuki Bako Toy
Ubergizmo —
... The Japanese can come up with some of the wackiest stuff ever, and Bandai Japan is equal to the task with its Tuttuki Bako. This toy comes with a display that shows a digital replica of your finger the moment you insert it into a hole located on the right side of the device while wiggling it.
