Kid Watch

Do you know where your children are? You do if they’re wearing the Wherify GPS Personal Locator. At its core the tracker relies on global positioning satellites that always know, within a few feet, Junior’s location. Designed around a wristwatch, the personal locator also has a built-in pager and panic button for alerting emergency services. And you thought your mom was overprotective.

Star Your Engines

Is there life after Google? Check out teoma.com, the newest search engine from the folks who brought us AskJeeves. While Google bases its results mostly on how many Web pages are linked to a particular site, Teoma goes on better by ranking hits according to how many sites covering the same subject link to it.

Turbo Toothbrush

Yes, it’s expensive, but the makers of the Dental Air Force insist it makes sense to put your money where your mouth is. The toaster-size teeth-cleaning device, which you can buy online at , attacks plaque with a jet stream of air, water and cleaning fluid in a power wash. It’s definitely a gizmo that only a dentist could love.
