This dog might just be the coolest dog ever. For about $40, your dog can be a walking disco ball. For just $20 more, you can match! The product is covered in LED’s that flash as your dog and/or you walk down the street together, pretty self explanatory from the video. It seems that technology has come such a long way in the wearables industry that it is expanding to pets. Yet it still seems relatively useless, and it might just scare your dog away.

Technologically, this gadget is very advanced and a relatively new concept. Socially, however, WAY represents all the social norms that women conform to, especially in East Asian countries (e.g. pale, dewy, spotless skin). While WAY may be helpful for those especially sensitive to humidity and UV rays, is it worth over $100?

BlackSocks is a company that makes exactly what you think: black socks. Recently, their new product is a pair of black socks with advanced chips in them that report information back to your iPhone about your socks. With this application, you can check just how black your socks are, how many times they’ve been washed, and whether or not you need replacements. Of course, there’s no way you could just look at your socks yourself.
