CarCapsule puts your car in a plastic bubble

How many times have you looked at your car and thought �man, I wish I could put it inside a bubble.�? Odds are that this doesn’t come to mind very often. However, if you have a very old and rare car that you’ve restored, you might want to do everything you can to protect it from the elements, especially if you live in an area that’s more prone to making a car rust. Well if your dream has been to…

The Little Printer goes where no computer dares to

Smartphones, laptops and tablets have helped cut back on the use of paper – for reminder notes (unless you’re addicted to those sticky Post It’s), lists and even newspapers and magazines. But for those who insist on touching paper, the Little Printer is for you. Created by the UK tech company BERG, the Little Printer is a small box shaped device that’s designed to search the internet based on user-selected criteria, then print out a cash-register receipt-like mini “newspaper”. Then…

Card Radio – it’s greener but is it better?

In the world where the latest electronics are blowing onto the market at a whirlwind rate, the idea of a radio made of cardboard seems like a throwback to another day. The Card Radio is perhaps an attempt to design and manufacture more responsibly for today’s consumer. Suck UK (really), this UK-based product design company that created this interesting little FM radio, has included in it a MP3 input and internal mechanisms housed in a card structure that can be…

Is Bacon Soda taking this craze too far?

Bacon. That one word can make most mouths salivate with hunger. If you’re a vegetarian, then this probably has little to no effect on you. For the rest of us, there seems to be a craving for more bacon in our lives. That’s why there are so many things out there that have been crafted to both smell and taste like our favorite pork product. And now we have Bacon Soda.

Winter Wake Up app rouses you earlier when it has snowed [Daily Freeware]

It never fails. You forget to check the weather, and your alarm goes off in the morning at the same time as always. Then you get up, grab a cup of coffee and look out the window to see it. Snow. Lots and lots of snow. Quickly, you throw on your clothes, pull on your boots, gloves and hat, and grab the shovel, in hopes of getting your driveway cleared before you have to leave. And even if you manage…

Sky Eye helicopter lets you spy on your cubical neighbors

When you’re stuck in an office for eight ours a day with the same person or people, it can either go really well, or really bad. If you’re lucky, you’ll not only get along with your coworkers, but they’ll be the sort that you can joke around with when there’s a bit of downtime. The best are the people who enjoy a little bit of cubical warfare. If you just happen to work in that sort of environment, then you…

Steampunk Playing Cards

The year is 1861. You’ve decided to take a break from the repairs on your airship after taking a few nasty plasma bolts to the hull. You’re at a local tavern playing a hand of poker with a few of the other captains who are docked. What cards are you playing with? The Bicycle Steampunk Playing Cards, of course.

Is this �World’s Smallest� flash drive too small?

Every time you need to find your flash drive, it always ends up in an odd place because it’s small, and easily misplaced. Seeing as this epidemic is happening all over the world, Deonet has given us a solution, which is to make The World’s Smallest USB stick. The logic behind it is obviously that if something is small, it makes sense that it would be easier to find if it were even smaller. That’s a valid line of thought,…

Equitime Spiral Clock

Time seems to operate in a spiral. The hours creep along, one by one, until you’ve reached the final one, only to have them start again from the beginning. It’s this very idea that gave birth to the Spiral Clock, which takes the notion of moving hands and turns it on its head. Rather than having individual hands that rotate on the face of the clock, the entire thing spins slowly. As the face rotates, a ball will let you…

Steam for Android gives you the power of Steam on your phone [Daily Freeware]

If you’re a PC gamer, then there’s a very good chance that you’ve used Steam. For those not familiar, Steam is a platform that was designed by Valve to make buying, downloading and playing games as easy as possible. With great sales and plenty of features, there are few reasons not to use it. One of my only complaints is that Valve has yet to release a companion app for any mobile platforms. Thankfully, one company has decided to release…

BioBrite Sunrise Clock wakes you up with the (fake) sun

For those of us out there that wake up with the sunrise, we are a little dependent on the sun coming up as our alarm clock. In the middle of winter, we have no choice but to use something with a loud buzzer, as it stays dark in the mornings. This is the worst possible way to get up as it jolts you awake, leaving you in that sort of �just woke up� haze. If there were a way to…

Phone Tail 4S gives you a false sense of security

We have seen a thousand iPhone cases, and some of them offer more protection, extra long battery life, or the ability to store extra items like credit cards. The Phone Tail 4S, however, offers you the �sense� of security you want, without actually giving you real security. This case is made out of silicone, which is lower to medium protection. Its gimmick is that it has two interchangeable loops that come out of the back of the case. The short…

300 piece Hydrodynamic Building Set makes for an awesome science project

We know that gas is terribly expensive, and will one day be near impossible to find. Such is the case with fossil fuels, as we can’t exactly wait around for thousands upon thousands of years for more gallons of oil to crop up. This is but one reason why learning to use water, wind, and solar power are so important. Hopefully, in the future we will no longer need to rely on a limited supply on fuel that creates greenhouse…
