The Fog-Free Shower Mirror and Weather Station also provides you with weather information. Its advanced design give you multi-channel access to the current outdoor temperature, indoor temperature, outdoor humidity and even a weather forecast based on the barometric pressure.

There’s no doubt that people are feeling overwhelmed by the deluge of digital communication hitting their eyes and inboxes, but I do wonder whether the solution is not so much in products like this Inbox2 software and online service hybrid, which simply act as super efficient collection agencies, or more with semi-intelligent products like the Raindrop product from Mozilla, which will learn how to make choices for you in terms of prioritizing important communications from lesser ones.
Once you sign up to your inBox2 ‘unified mailbox’ and register your various email and network accounts with the software, you can receive, and respond to, any communications, posts etc from the one interface.
Well actually it’s two interfaces, since the desktop software version and the online version appear to have subtly different dynamics. The software runs the comms stream in a sidebar motif, while the online version offers a full page river of all incoming posts.
There are some nice touches in the software, including response buttons to schedule replies for later or tag them as Todo items, and the tabbed format is definitely useful for scanning detailed information on a particular message. The software is clearly a work in progress, search doesn’t work particularly well for instance, and nor does the right hand panel cycle properly with the message you’re viewing, but overall the effect is pleasant.
The real power of the Inbox2 system will come when they introduce the Premium sync services between online, desktop and mobile versions of the service, at which point you’ll be in full control of every messages coming at you 24/7. If you’re up to the job, that is. Interesting product all round.
Inbox2 collects all your messages, documents, links and contacts from these accounts in one convenient place and allows you to read, reply, search and be productive without having to login to multiple accounts. The Inbox2 platform is designed to reduce the complexity around the current email programs and add-ons needed to fulfill the demands of today’s savvy Web2.0 ‘prosumers’ (professional consumers).

Thinkgeek has the right idea. Instead of a whole big range with four induction cooktops. What about just one? This 1800W induction cooktop will work with any ferrous-based pots and is completely safe for a small room as it only gets hot when there’s a pan on top. It has 10 power levels, LED display, overheat sensor and you can move it wherever you like. Only works with 110 Volts though. US$99.99 from the Geeks.
… it’s portable, so take it wherever you can get 110v power! Need a cooktop for your tailgate? As long as you have an inverter, you’re good! Boiling corn on the cob for your outdoor BBQ? No problem, just bring an extension cord! Want to saute up some scallops at your desk? Whatever, just make sure your cubemates aren’t allergic to shellfish, first.

This £200,000 Chocolate Powered Racing Car really takes the biscuit. No seriously, you know we’ve hit crunch time when this kind of tech makes the front pages. And if they can unwrap something like this, why can’t they produce my flying bar? OK, so it’s a fabulous idea, and not as nuts as it sounds, but apparently the designers are saying the technology won’t see light of day in the mass market for a few years yet. In case it melts or something we assume. [That’s enough! – Ed]
Meet Lola, the England’s [sic] University of Warwick’s blend of muscle and eco-friendliness and the world’s first racing car retrofitted with renewable and sustainable materials…Fueled by leftover chocolate and with components made from carrots, potato starch and flax, the world’s first sustainable Formula 3 racing car has a top speed of 135 miles per hour and can go from zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds.

PostCarden is a cute idea that allows you to send a far-from-boring greeting card. It’s a packet of cress seeds and a pop-up scene to hold them while they grow. Choose from one of three scenes including a Cityscape, Botanical Conservatory or an Alotment. Plant the cress, water it and bung it in the sun. In a week you’ll have a little garden growing. Don’t forget to write a message on the back. £7.50 each.
For our first product we looked at the most universal gift – the greeting card. We felt that this conventional card lacked surprise, bringing only a momentary enjoyment. The arrival of a greeting card or letter in the post can always brighten up your normal mail and bring pleasure but once opened its role becomes commonplace and static.

I’ve never understood toast racks, those things you use to prop up toast that’s just come out of the toaster. All they seem to do is make the toast cold. I do understand this 3.5 Inch HDD Stand. It’s a rack to hold all those disembodied 3.5″ hard drives you’ve got lying around the place. Holds six. You could put them in alphabetical order. Or not. Sadly at US$20 (¥1,850) it doesn’t come with any drives.
Keep up to six 3.5 inch HDD secured and well organize with the latest Century 3.5 inch HDD Stand.

This Fiskars Momentum Reel Mower adds some smarts to the good ol’ dependable push-powered reel mower. For starters they’ve added a large diameter, heavy-bladed cutting reel which acts as a flywheel, storing rotational momentum (aka power) and providing extra cutting force to chop through long grass or small twigs.
They’ve also tweaked the drive system making it easier to push, made the cut height-adjustable and improved the cutting up against edges. Sounds great if you like exercise with your lawn care. Priced at US$249.99 from Fiskars.
Combines a large diameter cutting reel and heavy blades to store energy (like a flywheel) until a burst of extra cutting power is needed.
2X More Cutting Power: Delivers twice the energy to power through small twigs, weeds, or dense grass that would jam other reel mowers.
30% Easier to Push: Advanced technologies reduce cutting system friction, provide optimal blade positioning and deliver extra cutting power to reduce push force by 30% in long grass.

Sanyo has taken home air way beyond clean. Its new Air Washer Plus uses electrolyzed water and a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter to remove 99.97% of airborne particles, allergens and odors from the air. It uses electrolyzed water which produces two types of active oxygen that clean the air. Combine that with the air filtration industry-standard HEPA filters, and you’ve got one heck of an air filter.
With no need for chemicals, the Air Washer Plus uses a 3 directional air system, aiding air circulation, moving all a room’s air through the system. The unit is portable, so you can clean the air throughout your home. The HEPA filter will need changing periodically but an indicator light alerts you when it needed. Suggested retail price is $249.99.
The technology operates by creating electrolyzed water, or combining tap water with electricity, to create two types of active oxygen that work to clean without the requirement for any additional chemicals. Other than its use in air treatment, electrolyzed water has also been used effectively in other industries such as food safety handling, washing raw materials, and cleaning utensils.

I don’t know, I’m thinking the only thing worse than being woken up by the ‘exterminate’ of this Dr Who Dalek Talking Alarm Clock thing, would be if it rolled up to your bed and shoved the sink plunger into your eyeball repeatedly until you made a move for the bathroom. Man, masochism comes in strange shapes nowadays, that’s for certain. $37.15.
At 25 centimetres tall, this golden replica of those dastardly Daleks features an alarm clock with LCD display set into the Dalek’s chest. When the alarm goes off, your Dalek’s ears and eyes (we thought they were just knobs) will light up and you’ll be treated to 3 of their famous phrases: ‘You would make a good Dalek’, ‘You are the enemy of the Daleks, you must be destroyed’ and who could forget that heart-warming cry ‘Exterminate!’.

LightForm is the world’s first flexible LED lighting film. This amazing stuff comes in 10 inch x 1 mm thin strips with sticky backed 2 sided tape, which you can cut and shape to your requirements. Just attach a battery pack to one end and you’ve got yourself a red, amber, green or blue decoration or safety lighting strip for your transport or other needs.
You can also sew the strips onto material, which makes me think it could offer a much easier way for people to turn their old clothing into safetywear for bicycles or whatnot at quite a reasonable price. For example, why not use it to mimic this turn signal biking jacket? The US developed strips are priced at around $29.95. It looks like an excellent product which could do with some decent marketing and exposure (hint: guys don’t make your website an image so search engines can’t find it!). [Review]
”This is one of the most radically innovative lighting products to come along in decades,” said Grote. “LightForm will change the shape, design and application of interior and exterior vehicle lighting in ways we haven’t even begun to imagine. In the evolution of lighting, this is a totally new species.”

Comment by Red Ferret Wed 10 Mar 2010 @ 11:59 pm
Very interesting stuff. I've seen other lighting strips, but nothing like this. Another thought on the website is that the buy link should offer something other than just a phone number. They need an online store, but at the very least there should be a contact form or email address.

Agreed. The whole site looks like an anti-marketing mess up really. But what do I know, eh? :)

The Biknd Helium must be the ultimate bike transportation bag. It can carry a road bike with a 64cm frame or a full-suspension mountain bike. There’s even room inside for a spare pair of wheels. There’s a lot of novel tech in the Helium including hub covers on the outside of the bag to protect your tyres, and a hard-hitting polyethylene, drop-down endcap that takes all the hard knocks. The bag is even on wheels.
The other neat bit is the pair of inflatable side sections which are pumped up with an integrated foot pump after the bag is sealed. This stops everything moving around and provides extra cushioning. RRP is US$599, but that’s nothing compared to the price of the bike, right?
Traveling with a bicycle has never been this simple: the Helium is light and easy to carry and its revolutionary inflatable padding offers unrivaled protection. Thanks to its minimal dimensions, it fits easily in the trunk of even the smallest cars (width of 100 cm). Every small detail has been looked into: the Helium bike case has special compartments for an extra wheelset and also for stowing you helmet, shoes and other essentials (pump, spare tubes, etc.)

BakadoPlayer is a free media player which focuses on subtitle handling, which is something that most players tend to overlook. The main thing is the customisability, which means you can make them more legible in terms of position, font and colours.
It may not sound like much to you, but imagine you have Italian friends over for the weekend and you’re watching that rip of The Sound of Music…! See? It’s strictly Windows media compatible, but looks like something that could be handy for you foreign types and all.

One of the best things about the ‘Net is that it stops you plonking your kids down in front of the television for hours at a time, instead you can sit them in front of YouTube and follow [insert children's television show character here]-related video links for hours at a time. Unfortunately that does lead you, on occasion, to some not-kidsafe content.
Kideos provides a subset of YouTube selected by a panel of parents, where each video has been deemed kid-safe and classified by age group or by categories such as cute animals, superheroes, fairy tales – you get the drift. It’s free and doesn’t require registration but if you register you get to save your favourites, and additional safe browsing by removing external YouTube “related video” links.
Kideos is the premier destination for kids to safely watch videos online. Each video on Kideos has been screened by our Video Advisory Council before it makes it onto our site. Our goal is to empower parents to feel comfortable allowing their child to spend time on Kideos, while also making sure children have a thoroughly entertaining experience.

Google have just announced their own place for business applications – they are calling it the Google Apps Marketplace . There is a spot on one of their websites where they are showing off fifty ( yeah 50) of their partners in this venture. You can check out the video right here.
This is clearly the next logical stage in Google’s plans for world domination, but there’s nothing wrong with that, right? Who wants to be using Microsoft Word in 2023? Look, many people are not big fans of Google and their privacy policies and I don’t blame them, but if Google helps to make the web better, then that’s probably a good thing, eh?
It’s no surprise they’re entering the business application market, after all that’s where Microsoft dominates and we know how well the two get along. And there’s no question that a fair percentage of the globe will welcome an alternative to the Microsoft application monopoly. I mean, come on, does anyone think that Clippy from Office was actually a good idea? Who trusts a freakin’ paper clip? A digital stapler maybe.
Watch for two things. First, will the Google offering be aimed at small companies primarily or will they shoot straight for the heart of the Microsoft cash cow in the enterprise space, and second how much prominence will be given to third party apps that connect directly with Google Apps. Already 2 of the top 3 on the home page do, expect that to become a feature.
The Google Apps Marketplace offers products and services designed for Google users, including installable apps that integrate directly with Google Apps. Installable apps are easy to use because they include single sign-on, Google’s universal navigation, and some even include features that integrate with your domain’s data.

This ingenious White Goat machine, made by Japanese company Oriental, turns used office paper into toilet paper. Simply feed shredded paper (or it can shred it for you) into the White Goat (after you’ve removed all the staples!) and it will mix the paper with water and presto – a perfect roll of toilet paper emerges on the other side.
The process takes around 30 minutes and 40 sheets of paper to make one roll. Its designers say it will save 60 trees per year. Seems like it would work best in large companies or large commercial spaces. Not a bad idea though and you get free-ish toilet paper too! I wonder what happens to the waste water though?
The equipment in here dissolves shredded paper in water to make toilet paper. All the customer need to do is put the shredded paper in, take the toilet paper out and supply the machine with water.

The Joos Orange (geddit?) promises to take portable solar charging performance to a new level by delivering up to 30x more power than any solar charger currently on the market. How? Well apparently it uses a sophisticated micro-processor controlled energy management system tied to some Ninja mono-crystalline Silicon Nitride anti-reflective coated solar cells.
It’s waterproof, shockproof, operates in very low light (including under water and in rain) and can store power for years on the internal 5,400 mAh battery. Most importantly – well done guys – the battery is user replaceable after it’s 1000 charge cycles are up. Size is 8×5 inches. Available in June at around $100.00. Sounds delicious. [Via]
Powerful This is a tool, not a toy. The JOOS Orange makes more power than any personal solar charger on the market. Up to 20 times more. With our optional reflector kit, even more — up to 30 times more. JOOS charges even in the shade or in light rain. The large 5,400mAh replaceable battery pack holds enough energy to charge most smart phones at least 4 times over on one charge. Want to check out our claims? The JOOS Orange connects to a cool application on your computer that tells you everything you want to know about the power you’re generating…

With Mother Nature’s natural disasters so fresh in the news, this Aero 600W portable wind generator concept could come in very handy. Designed to provide instant power in disaster zones or areas under construction, this portable power station comes in an easy-to-transport package.
The central column telescopes out in three stages to take advantage of the wind and the feet and wire guys keep it nice and steady. The base of the central column stores the wires and the batteries and although it’s made of lightweight materials like carbon fiber and aluminum, it will take two or three people to move and set up. Very nice idea.
