Let’s face it, despite the undoubted success of Avatar, the whole 3D thing has largely become a huge yawn. Mostly because outside of the movie theaters there’s a shortage of players, which means we’re less likely to spend time hunting down 3D content to watch and enjoy.

What happens when the people making your products decide they’re going to start doing it for themselves? And what happens when those factories and manufacturers start producing products which are not only equal to your fancy brand name devices, but actually better? One word. Market decimation. No wait…two words.

There’s no way to “fix” sore muscles. You can take a warm bath, stretch, or put on some sports cream, but what if all you want is a hot wrap for one targeted area? You could always do the sock filled with rice trick, but that’s not exactly formed to fit your body.

Using a remote controlled helicopter takes a lot of hand-eye coordination. One touch too far to the right, and you’re smashing your mother’s favorite vase. Flying up, down, forward, and side-to-side seems quite challenging on its own, but what if you added a whole new angle to control?

For those who may not remember, MacGyver was a popular TV show in the 1980’s. The lead character, handsomely played by Richard Dean Anderson, took mundane things like chewing gum and paper clips and solve complex problems and escape dangerous situations by turning them into useful, lifesaving tools. All this was ostensibly based on theoretical physics. Now the Navy is taking a page from that idea. It’s funding a group of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology to hopefully…

OK, so one may never have the chance to live in a massive castle or two, own gallons of corgi dogs or drive around in one’s own bulletproof limo with a crest on the front, but who says one can’t share some of the Royal luxury, even if in a simple way?

The electric bicycle market is growing apace, and part of that involves a splintering into distinct sales segments. At one end of the scale there’s the truckloads of cheap, clunky Chinese electric bicycles, sold on price and basic functionality. They’re utilitarian all right, but hardly something you’d call a work of art. At the other end you’ll find real labors of love, crafted to deliver more than just a ride. But at a price.

It is a well known fact that water and technology do not mix. The first experience I had with learning about this was dropping a flip phone into a bucket of mop water ( I saved it, but it was never quite the same after that day). The only problem with these two not exactly being fond of one another is that sometimes you can’t help it if you need electronic gizmos in a damp environment.

Have you ever noticed that you start to feel a little down in the dumps from the end of fall through winter? You can literally blame the time of year for your bad mood, because you are experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Everyone needs a little sunshine when they wake up to get their sleeping schedule on target, but what if you work during the night, or use black-out curtains on your windows?
