WATCH
THIS
Okay, just how cool is a watch with a built-in universal remote control?
Well ... pretty cool we think.
Imagine the possibilities: you’ll never lose your remote again;
you can go to your local Boston Pizza and take control of those big screen
TVs; and, when visiting a friend’s house, you can watch what you
want to watch.
The Midas features contemporary styling and a sleek design. The watch
is not large or clunky. The remote control buttons are very well integrated
into the overall design and are easy to push. The remote can be programmed,
using a four or five-digit code, in approximately 30 seconds. As well,
the pre-programmed database of codes covers every make/model of TV and
cable receiver imaginable.

WATERED
YOUR CLOCK LATELY?
Okay, so producing power from water to run a clock might not require quantum
math, but it is pretty interesting.
How does it work? The internal converter simply extracts electrons from
water (or other liquid) molecules and provides a steady stream of electrical
current acting as a fuel cell to generate power to the clock.
Attractively packaged with translucent blue siding and a mirrored front,
you can even use the water reservoirs on the back to hold flowers! But
guess what? Flowers aren’t included! Neither are batteries! Neither
is the water! Disappointed? Here, giving you the dimensions should make
you happier: 6” x 4” x 2 1/2.” Now buy one.
