Acousticom manufactures audio communication equipment utilized by the Department of Defense and leading aerospace companies. The company is well-known for its flight helmets, but it is coming to CES 2010 with something almost everyone can enjoy--the Sound Egg.

The egg chair is back, but with a 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound system and an intimate media experience not intended for sharing. The chair can be connected to a television or computer and its unique foam insulation means no more complaining from your significant other. Go ahead, play Call of Duty all you want--he or she won't hear a … Read more

While some of us just crack a couple of eggs into a pan and scramble them with a fork, I was always taught that I'd get lighter and fluffier scrambled eggs if I whisked them in a bowl before I started cooking. But that means more mess: more dishes to wash. And if I have help making breakfast, I'm going to need to wipe down the counters, as well. The Shake Me Egg Shaker offers a good alternative, especially if you've got kids helping in the kitchen. Crack up to three eggs into it, put on the … Read more

It's been years since the concept of a digital convergence was seriously debated. Today, it's rare to see a single-function electronic device.

Digital still cameras can record video, and camcorders can take still photos. Even cheap cell phones include cameras. There are Web browsers in cell phones, cameras, televisions, and digital picture frames. In fact, it seems like it's only a matter of time before everything with a battery or power cord will be connected to the Internet.

So it's a little startling to see a new gizmo that does nothing but display text, especially when … Read more

The availability of instant digital downloads from services like iTunes, Amazon, or Netflix has made it convenient for me watch TV shows on my time, without the commercials. Isn't it obvious? I choose when to watch a show and I save about 15 minutes worth of useless advertising.

Similarly, one might use a DVR to record shows and watch them at a later time, with the liberty of fast-forwarding through ads. Although there are those who don't mind commercials, most would probably skip them. So it's not surprising that TiVo reported "nearly all of the television … Read more

Got boys in the 6- to 10-year-old range? Hang out with immature people? Really like gross stuff? If you can answer yes to any of these, then you might actually enjoy the Peter Petrie egg separator.

Although this ceramic beauty will never grace my kitchen counters, you may feel differently. Use is straightforward--crack an egg into the separator and tilt it forward. The egg white drips through the nostrils (ewww!) and into your bowl, where you can whip it up into meringue or turn it into an egg white omelet, or do whatever it is that people do with egg … Read more

Poached eggs play a crucial role in dishes like Eggs Benedict, but a lot of home cooks won't make those dishes just because of the eggs. Poaching seems a little complex and mysterious, but Fusion Brands' Poach Pod makes it a simple matter. The Poach Pod is a flexible silicone bowl that floats on water, holding the egg while it poaches. Each egg poached in this cup turns out perfectly cooked and perfectly shaped. There's no worry of the egg sticking in the Poach Pod, either: you can flip it over and gently turn the flexible silicone bowl … Read more

Some kitchen gadgets are completely unnecessary. You cannot possibly justify these purchases as something you need; however, it's precisely those gadgets that can wind up being the most valuable ones in your kitchen.

Such is the Egg Cuber. Really, do you need square eggs? Of course not, but once you know that square eggs are a possibility, don't you just have to have them? Can you imagine a buffet table featuring a tower of poached eggs? That, my friends, is power.

Snag your Egg Cuber online for just a few dollars. Trust me, this is money well spent. … Read more

For egg salad, I chop up hard-boiled eggs. For deviled eggs, I slice them in half. The 5 in 1 Egg Slicer can both halve and dice hard-boiled eggs, along with slicing them and cutting them in wedges. The slicer even has a built-in needle to let you pierce and crack the shell on a boiled egg, removing the shell without messing up the appearance of the egg itself. The 5 in 1 Egg Slicer is plastic, with stainless-steel parts to handle all of the slicing. It's only 8.25 inches by 3.75 inches by 2 inches--it isn'… Read more

On Sunday, my son announced that he wanted "eggy." So, my husband grabbed a couple of eggs, filled a pot with water, and we began the process of making hard-boiled eggs.

Did I mention my son is five, and is rather impatient? For the next 30 minutes or so, all we heard was, "I want eggy. Where is my eggy?" So, of course, we pulled the eggs out too soon, they were soft-boiled instead of hard, and my son rejected them as "icky."

If only I had known on Sunday about the Henrietta Hen Egg Cooker. … Read more
