My eyes! My eyes! They burn! Oh Lord, they burn! The axis of evil that is Hello Kitty and Swarovski has struck again, wreaking havoc on yet another perfectly serviceable gadget. Today's unfortunate victim is the Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z85 compact camera.
(Credit:
Casio)
The Z85 is a 9-megapixel snapper with a 2.6-inch screen which, frankly, doesn't deserve this kind of humiliation. As if the glittering stick-on sequins around the lens ring aren't enough, there's a bunch of gravel-colored stars splattered about the place, and a Hello Kitty face that resolves itself out of nowhere like a Magic Eye picture, those blank, shark-like Kitty eyes boring straight into your soul as if divining the exact cash value of your very being...
The Hello Kitty Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z85 is available from Geek Stuff 4 U for $573. But please don't encourage them.

It seems like everything under the sun is getting the Swarovski crystal treatment. Back in February, we introduced you to the top five Swarovski disasters, which included phones, radios, and even a whole piano covered in the stuff. Now you can add light switches to the list of useless abominations sprinkled with Swarovskis.
This time around, Berker Switches and Systems has teamed with Swarovski to present the "Crystal Collection." Why would you settle for a boring old plastic switch when you can get a large, multi-faceted Swarovski-cut crystal instead?
OK, the technology behind the light switch is actually kind of cool. There's a sensor behind each crystal that senses infrared light disruption (i.e. from a hand), similar to rain sensors in automobiles. They call this type of optical recognition "HALIOS," or High Ambient Light Independent Optical System.
The crystals themselves are embedded in matte-finished stainless steel, shining chrome, or gold, and are available in four colors: crystal, black diamond, topaz, and siam. No word on the Berker site about price; I assume that depends on the crystal combination you choose for your switch. What ever happened to just being born with a silver spoon in your mouth?
Check out the slideshow below for more images.
OK. Maybe not everything in today's show is super cute, but it gives the ladies the chance to speak in exaggerated falsettos. Jason, on the other hand, balances all the cute with an unintentionally awkward joke about one of the newest segments. Oh, you'll see.
