Worst USB Gadget Yet: Feng Shui Compass

The Wikipedia says feng shui is "an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics believed to utilize the Laws of both heaven and earth to help one improve life by receiving positive Qi.... Many modern enthusiasts claim that feng shui is the practice of arranging objects (such as furniture) to help people achieve their goals." But how do you know which direction to point your Lay-Z-Boy in order to get that promotion? It's the Feng Shui Compass to the rescue! The "Fortune Compass" is a $400 hand-held device that combines "aerospace technology with intricate and ancient mathematical calculations in order to make Feng Shui accessible to all." (props to The Red Ferret Journal)

I think it's pretty bad because it's just a $400 compass. For $400 you can get a mini laptop and a handheld compass and probably use a host of Feng Shui freeware and useful stuff like mapping software. But then again, Feng Shui is mostly about parting fools from their money.

Awesome. It's ancient and cool. Never knew compasses were so fancy back in the day.
