Have all the answers to your most burning questions right on your wrist with the Jigglit. It’s like a digital watch that’s also a magic 8-ball. Just ask the Jigglit a question, then shake your wrist to hear one of 23 different answers (which is 3 more than a typical magic 8 ball btw). The Jigglit was invented by Cole Schneider when he was just 16. Here’s a demo video:

As shown in the video, the random answers are also displayed on the screen. It comes in a whole bunch of colors as you can see above. The Jigglit doesn’t just look like a watch, it actually is a watch too. A watch that has all the answers. It recharges via a USB cord.

Smith could have used a 60-sided die – I know, I’m as surprised as you are! – but he opted for a more elegant solution. He split open a magic 8-ball and put a digital picture key chain inside. This way he can edit the toy’s answers by plugging the key chain to his computer via USB. I bet he placed 57 positive answers.

No stranger to throwing in some extra, if not-that-functional, additions to its products, Google's new audio orb packs its own Easter egg -- a Magic 8 Ball mode. Tapping the Nexus Q's image in its companion Android app will throw up a new screen, offering voice input to take your existential questions. Replies are certainly of the Magic 8 Ball caliber, although there's no accelerometer-based shaker -- at least not yet.
