A brilliant Quirky object currently undergoing production is the Stem, a quick, novel and efficient way to get that citrus zing without breaking out the knives.
Spray it, don't squeeze it! Stem is designed to allow a cook to spray juice directly from a citrus fruit. No longer do you have to cut and squeeze your fruit to get the juice out like a common cook. With only one finger you can now spray citrus juice on your favorite foods evenly. Let Stem add a little zest in your kitchen and on your food!
Price and release date is TBA, and while you can't do anything about the latter, they're taking a survey on the former at the link above.

The Quirky Stem: When Life Gives You Lemons, Design a Clever Product
Plus I rather enjoy cutting/squeezing lemon over my food.
But yeah, there's definitely no way you're going to get anywhere near all the juice out of the lemon that way.
I really don't like the idea behind Quirky either. Crowdsourcing can be great, but Quirky looks like something in between a spec work contest and a pyramid scheme.
@Pmurf: I was thinking the exact same thing.
i remember of a similar concept that worked.. years ago (10-20)
it was just a pipe with a cap and you had to squeeze the lemon...
worked well..
less complexity, easy to use and clean.
good things are simple
But yeah, unless that crazy wide stabbing end houses a mini juicing mechanism, i'm not seeing it.
