StockCast Wireless Stock Market Tracker by Brookstone

Price: $49.99

Even if your father's investments are restricted to his fantasy portfolio, this device will let him keep tabs on the market while at work (without turning on CNBC). Made by Brookstone, this wireless desktop gadget updates the numbers of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 every 15 minutes. And for a monthly fee, Dad can create and track a customized portfolio. The add-on service costs either $6.95 a month or $19.95 every three months. (Brookstone gives customers three free months to try the service.)

Manshu, That’s funny! I don’t know if that’s clever or what. Is the icon customizable so you can use a different name for it and a different image so that you can entice someone to unsuspectingly click it? If you keep the name as iDateMe with the same image, people will be aware of what this does, so you’d need a customization feature.

I came across a really clever app for the iPhone. it was called iDateme. It came with a really hot picture of a couple. It was not a dating app, but a homing app! The idea was that if someone steals your iPhone and looks at that icon, they will be tempted to click it. When they click it, their co-ordinates will be sent to your email and you can track them down.

The Kindle sounds cool … but then I realize how many paper books I could purchase for the cost of th Kindle - especially if I buy pre-read books. I love the actual technical concept, though.
