At the other end of the price spectrum on novelty Tuesday is a device that, we fear, is not a novelty at all. This rather ugly tie is worth over $1000. And why? The hi-res spy camera hidden inside it.

Including a cigarette-pack-sized monitor and recorder with remote control, the pinhole camera woven into this tie shoots plasma-busting 768×492 pixel video (or 768×582 in PAL) with audio.

So now those of us catching public transport in Melbourne, Australia will have to be suspicious not only of the large-footed, but now also shifty characters in ugly business attire?
