That coffee table makes me want to just strap a bluetooth speaker, USB chargers and a minifridge to an existing coffee table... for way less than $1300!

That toothbrush provided it works is pretty cool. But I love the first product, it's already where it belongs, in a trash bin. I like how the bitten apple had a bar code on it. <facepalm>

The most impressive thing on that video was the toothbrush.

Unless his teeth left a barcode imprint I don't see how that worked.

The induction heater is kind of neat.  Not north of $100 neat, but still very clever.

I agree that the video is BS...  Who would want to track the fact that they had eaten an apple anyway...
I was simply pointing out that a barcode on an apple was not really a <facepalm> thing.
The company I work for handles many thousands of tonnes of export apples on behalf of exporters such as ENZA, MrApple, Luvya, etc.
Some varieties for some destination countries are barcoded.

They mention it's voice controlled too. They mute the audio in the original, but you can tell he's dictating to the device when he tosses the apple.
