Slide To Unlock – give your car some street geek with this magnetic sticker
We’re loving us this Slide To Unlock Magnet, because it’s so ridiculous. Of course it really needs to be attached to the side of a very expensive Mercedes or something to have a total effect, but what we really want to know is why don’t we have this function available on cars anyway?
Read MoreSada Bike – hubless, elegant and folds to the size of an umbrella
Every since the dawn of the age of the wheel, people have been trying, mostly unsuccessfully, to improve upon the basic design. Similarly with derivatives such as the bicycle. So we’re not surprised to find that an enterprising Italian engineering student has also decided to have a go. But with typical Latin flair.
Read MoreJak Bank – interest free ethical borrowing becomes a reality in Sweden
Ever wished there was a bank which was actually driven by more humanitarian goals than merely making more profit? Yes there are credit unions, cooperative and community banks, but they almost all still revolve around the idea of interest payments on loans and savings. What about a bank that did away with all that, and tried a different approach altogether?
Read MoreNereus lost – meanwhile, somewhere at the bottom of the ocean, these little fish are chuckling…
There are times, every so often, when we look at this world and marvel at how things work. Take for example this report from last week, which demonstrates how precariously we perch on this little bit of rock, when compared to some of our other fellow inhabitants.
Read MoreNokia 100 for £4.99 new – remember when Nokia phones were worth money?
Once upon a time there was an amazing mobile phone company, which led the world in the quality, technology and robustness of its products. Then along came a nasty man with a black polo neck shirt and took it all away from them.

So you’ve got a Bluetooth phone, and maybe you’ve even got some Bluetooth headphones or earpiece, but the problem is not everything you own has Bluetooth on board, which is a drag. Things like your computer or even your old Hi-Fi system probably doesn’t have BT, which means you can’t use your wireless headphones (or portable Bluetooth speakers) with them. Well now you can.

The new Microsoft Surface 2 4G tablet computer is the latest in the line of Windows tablets from the Redmond giant, but this time it comes with the neat addition of high speed mobile Internet built in, which means you can tablet yourself anywhere you can find a cell signal. Goodbye to the WiFi ball and chain.
Read MoreApollo Astronaut Full Space Suit Replica – Houston we are good to go…
Nothing says the real stuff like a space journey, which is probably why all these billionaires are queuing up to prove their manhood by traveling to these space stations and whatever for vast fees. Or maybe it’s just the ultimate way to flash your cash to all us earth bound plebians?
Read MoreMakeSpace – watch out eBay and Craigslist, cloud closets are coming to get you!
You can always tell when a new service is being hyped up as a billion dollar possibility, because you start seeing a lot of fancy comparisons. Like ‘the reverse Amazon‘ or ‘the Uber for x‘. This is VC short speak for ‘we’ve dumped a ton of money into this venture because we believe it’s going to be incredibly disruptive and change the world. Maybe.’ The PR trick is to associate the new venture with a massive veteran success story, as…

Stop serving up those raw steaks because that’s unhealthy and kind of gross. Burning it to a crisp isn’t any better either. If you want to deliver the perfect steak you’ll need the perfect temperature, which means you need…some technology to help you in your quest.

Read MoreStylish sneakers made from trash
Having recently judged a competition where young people are tasked with being innovative entrepreneurs, it’s clear that many of the today’s youth have creativity and passion spilling out all over the place. Such is the case of three design students at University of London who, as part of their graduate art project, creative colorfully stylish sneakers from garbage. https://vimeo.com/92132180 These multi-colored sneakers, pointedly called “Everything You Buy is Rubbish” -are made of plastic debris collected after the three students scoured…
