We may not have the ability yet to predict crimes before they happen...or even cool holographic screens that we can move around like an iPhone interface...but there is one thing we do have, and that is a cool black glove that enables us to control our computer...Whahahha!

Codenamed the Peregrine, this little sophisticated piece of technology enables multiple keyboard shortcuts (up to 30 actions) - Check out this video for a nice intro to how this all works out...

As you can see, using multiple contact point along your finger and palms, you can customize actions your keyboard hotkeys would have taken a second to touch with the tip of your finger.

Plus, the fact that this is made from military-grade fabric is pretty awesome...I usually don't hesitate to put military-grade things on me, no matter what article of clothing it is...

The only obvious limitation with the Peregrine I can see is that you still have to use a mouse...I mean how cool would it be to just move your hand for mouse actions...now that's something I would pay good money for.

But, before you discount this glove and decide to wait another decade until technology catches up fully with Tom Cruise, check out this next video, demoing the gameplay using the glove. I think I could actually keep up with the computer on Warcraft III if I had one of these...

Granted, the guy's Asian demoing the product, so naturally he is going to be ten times better than me at a computer game, but this could actually level the playing field.

If you are interested, you can get yours preordered today for a mediocre $129.99, which isn't bad I guess if you're a serious gamer...How much do you spend on flashy lights and other gizmos just to make your computer look like a rice rocket at a LAN party.

Overall, the Mechanical Toaster gives this cool little piece of technology...
