We weren’t sure exactly what Beyonce, David Goes to the Dentist and Chocolate Rain all had in common, but VIZIO squeezed them all into its Super Bowl ad. Still striving to remake its reputation from being merely a cheap HDTV manufacturer to a premium one offering lots of features, the ad (embedded after the break) shows how it’s bringing “the best of the internet” with VIZIO Internet Apps . We still need to see if its picture quality will measure up and whether the widget experience has gotten any better (read: faster ) in 2010 to be truly convinced, but a slick ad never hurt.

Dare we say that circular-shaped mice are actually becoming a trend? Swooping in like a ball on Newton’s Cradle is the OreObject SPHEREtouch mouse to knock the Jelfin mouse on its head. Though this time we’ve got to admit the pricey SPHEREtouch has us rather intrigued.

We’re not sure if an illuminated WiFi-detector window decal is more or less nerdy than the illuminated WiFi-detector T-shirt , but it’s certainly cooler. The shirt costs about $20 now, and the mod to take the electroluminescent WiFi signal detector panel, add the necessary power converter and mount it all to the back your car of seems easy enough if you’re the type to tinker. Now — who’s going to do this, set up a MiFi, and start charging fellow commuters for access?

Last time we saw the 10-inch EROS tablet it was powered down and pouting about its two hours of battery life, but the tablet’s pulled itself together and powered up to show off its skills. he performance is pretty much what you would expect of a Intel Atom-powered Windows 7 Home Premium netbook with its keyboard chopped off, and f rom what we’ve been able to glean from the 11 minute video below the touchscreen seems responsive to writing with a stylus and to flicks of photos and pages in a comic book
