"The Ambient Orb Device is a glass orb that slowly transitions between thousands of colors to indicate changes in the weather, the Dow, or if your boss or friend is on instant messenger. It is a wireless device and can be custom configured."

It indicates the stock market value by turning more green or more red and can be configured to show the weather, IM buddy watch or even tracking your own portfolio. The cool thing is that it gets its signal from a natoinwide wireless network and it's all configured through a web interface and simple http "get" calls! :-) This device is way too cool but a little expensive I guess.
