Personal thermal imaging device
The FLIR ONE thermal imaging device will make it easier for you to view a heated fart.

Okay, not what it is advertised for, but if it was in our hands that is definitely what we would be using it for. The weird gadget is a case for an iPhone 5 and it lets the user scan heat signatures. FLIR has a screen which you can view the thermals on and can even charge your phone with a separate built in battery. The case is going to be going for $349 and available in spring.

Dalek Speaker
Doctor Who fans would definitely love this one. They maker built this not to exterminate an entire race, but help you jam out to your favorite tune. The Dalek is a Bluetooth speaker that the company Massive Audio made, stepping out of their usual car audio application, unless this Dalek is sitting shotgun.

They made the Dalek have 32 woofers on the lower portion and a subwoofer for the head, and it is all ran by a 5k watt amplifiers. The "Dalek Massive" can be controlled by any Bluetooth smartphone. This speaker system may not be available for actual retail, but I hear that they will be auctioning it off for charity on eBay.

The pet remote
Do you want to control your pet from the click of a button, well we have the gadget for you. Well, not exactly; the "Pet-Remote' will help you to train your dog from a distance. So every time you train your dog to do something you activate the collar which will emit a noise, vibrate or both. This will let you use the remote from far away and the dog will do the task without a verbal command. Like if your dog is misbehaving and you don't want to look crazy in front of the neighbors, you simply press the button the presto you dog will be sitting at a touch of a button (if properly trained of course)

"Mother"
Just what I needed a digital mother to get rid of, or not because this one is programmable unlike your real one. This little bowling pin with glowing eyes aka "Mother" is an awesome gadget to tracks your habits from fitness to health. It uses a system of "cookies" which you can place in a drawer or on cookies and "mother" track it and reports it. Mother starts at $222 and comes with four cookies.

Smart bed
A lot of us track every other aspect of our lives from calories to working hours, so why not your sleeping habits. This smart bed is going for $8000, and it keeps track of your sleeping habits. The bed uses voice commands to control the firmness and elevation of the bed. The x12 smart bed is made from memory foam and can give you a sweet massage on command.
