Following up on the news that AT&T killed the data-only iPhone plan, an AT&T rep has told us that there was actually no such plan (it was an error on the store’s part), but that such a plan will be available in the near future. This means that the hearing-impaired will be able to get a data-only iPhone plan–officially this time–some time soon. Hurray for AT&T!
As an adult, bathroom activity is meant to be a solitary experience–well, usually–but when kids are first learning to use the toilet, they want everyone and their mother to join them. The Potty Watch from Potty Time puts an end to group potty sessions as it alerts your toddler with music and lights every 30, 60 or 90 minutes to pay a visit to the porcelain throne. The watch is available in pink, blue and green for $10, which seems too small a price to pay to never hear the words “I gotta go potty” again. [UberGizmo]
Our father told us that the best way to test whether a steaming cup of anything was cool enough to drink was to just drink it. It wasn’t until the fifth time we were in the hospital that we discovered that the man wasn’t our father. If we had these heat-sensitive On/Off mugs, which change from the Off position when cool to the On position when hot, we’d still have our original tongues. However, as Joel from BBG points out, the heat-sensitive plastic lining has a tendency to wash off–leading to a scenario where a practical joker could paint the mug black and write OFF on the side, then pour in a cup of boiling hot coffee.

“Mommy, what are those cookies doing?”
“Well, honey, they’re fighting, maybe pretend-wrestling, and rolling around, having a good time, that’s all. They’re getting in the holiday spirit!“
“Have they been good? Will Santa bring them lots of presents?”
“No, honey, it looks like they’ve been bad. Very, very bad.”
In addition to the four patterns you see here, this disgusting set of Kama Sutra-inspired cookie cutters includes four more positions that are even more raunchy. [Pipparkakan (Swedish), via TFTS]
We tested out the Ped 3, a sturdy rotating stand for iPhone and iPod touch, and we give it a big thumbs up. It’s heavy enough to keep the iPhone from tipping over when you push its single button, and effortlessly spins the phone around from vertical to horizontal. Its clamp won’t scratch up your cherished device, and it makes it so you don’t have to keep holding the phone in your hands if you want to watch a movie. Bravo. The only drawbacks? It’s a little too big and heavy to carry with you on the road, and it’s way too expensive at $39.99. [Thought Out]
