The Worst Products of CES 2010
loose electron submitted a (sigh) slideshow page documenting 10 of the worst products from CES this year. Includes a baseball hat with a TV in the brim, vibrating earbuds, an Android powered microwave, and what appears to be the next generation of Teddy Ruxpin.
For those of us who do not smoke, at first glance the "Krave" looks amazingly stupid. Add the hot chick in the ad and it looks like a pathetic marketing attempt to sell a lame product.
However, after thinking about it for a few moments, the point becomes clearer... it's an attempt to sell a nicotine delivery system that provides the nicotine that a smoker craves (hence the trademarkable name "Krave") without the dangerous second-hand smoke and the obnoxious smell that bother other non-smokers.
They're finding a way to create a new market - smokers who want to be less offensive to non-smokers. I'm sure these people exist, but there was no viable way for them to do it before the Krave.
Good luck to them! I hope this works.

I think the terminal can also be used as an island. It looks like it's got room for use as a cutting board or for rolling out pastry too! What more could you ask for?
