The iXP3 Internet Messaging Clock is a unique item that broadcasts messages in what appears to be thin air.  The ethernet port on that back allows you to plug it into your network and effectively send it messages from around the world.

As a free service, all messages are sent through the company’s website once you have the gadget registered.  It also acts like a standard clock that tells the time and temperature.

Seems like a fun little gadget as everyone loves receiving messages.  Buy it now for $125.

Last year was my first year at CES.  It’s also when I discovered that Las Vegas will milk you for every penny between your sofa’s pillows, which includes charging you not only for Internet access, but for any other computers added to the network in your hotel room.  Enter the Buffalo Ethernet Hub.  It’s powered by your computer’s USB port and can distribute your Internet connection to two connected computers.    Sure, a switch or router could accomplish the same feat but not without an external power supply.

Note: Mac computers can share their Internet connection over WiFi and Ethernet.
