BioBot BB20 – turn your waste kitchen oil into car bio diesel with this low cost home desktop device

Feeling the oil crunch yet? If not, you soon will, as supplies continue to dwindle. The one good thing about the remorseless rise in oil prices – if there can be a good thing – is the fact that it’s spurring development of alternatives. Most of the attention is currently focused on electrical power, but there are still ways in which we can use waste oil products more efficiently.

Pixabay – 65000 free public domain images for free download and use [Freeware]

It’s not hard to love websites which offer free stuff, whether it’s music, software or video. But we have a special place reserved for those intrepid folk who roll up their sleeves and brave the water to offer royalty free public domain images. There are so many competitors, and so many duff photos that it’s not an easy job. Which is why it’s really nice to find a site that does it right.

Waterproof Socks fight the outdoor blues

Going camping is normally a jovial time. You get to be outside with the trees, birds, and worms with little communication with the rest of the world. It’s a nice time to relax and soak in some tranquility. Hiking is normally an aspect of camping that is hard to avoid, and if you happen to step in a creek, you’ll be dealing with those wet socks for hours to come. This is undoubtedly going to affect your experience in the…

Atooma – the almost perfect smartphone automator app [Freeware]

One of the most powerful things you can have in your pocket right now, apart from a wallet containing Beyonce and Jesse Heiman’s personal phone numbers (google it), is a fully armed smartphone. The computing power of these things is amazing, and yet, as with our brains, we usually end up using a fraction of their full capacity.

Automatic Fish Feeder – let your vacations be guilt free

Ever since Nemo, our relationship with little cute water dwellers has taken a turn for the better. We think. They’re interesting to watch, and while fish may not do tricks (or do they?) or fetch your slippers, they can still be great companions on dark dreary nights. But what happens if you have to travel for business or pleasure, who will feed them when you’re away?

Spacehive – civic crowdfunding fills the gap in community needs

Kickstarter really did…ahem…start something when they made crowdfunding respectable. Not only did ordinary folk begin to understand just how useful it can be when done properly, but it has inspired a legion of other democratic funding services to set up, each covering different niches and goals.

Mega-Search – Mega gets its very own 3rd party search engine in record time…or not

Well that didn’t take long. The majestic and all-conquering Mega file storage service has only been out for two minutes and already it’s attracting third party services to add functionality. The first one out of the gate is a multi-lingual search engine, based we assume around the uploaded file names, rather than heavily encrypted content.

Reflective Rope – because no one wants to play hide and seek with camping gear

Camping in the wilderness is tons of fun. Your necessities are few, and there’s no need to constantly check your phone. However, when nighttime hits, you can’t exactly flick a switch and see your surroundings better. You might have forgotten where you tied things up or down, and no one wants to feel around in the darkness to locate something.

PushBullet – instantly move stuff from your computer browser to your Android phone [Freeware]

Once you start using a smartphone in earnest, you quickly discover that the more you connect it with your computer, the more useful it becomes. I constantly find myself checking traffic on the laptop maps before leaving, or hastily scribbling down an address or a postcode for the Google Navigation when I get into the car. But what I really needed is a quick and easy way to send from the computer to my phone without any intervening hassles.

RetroShare – the very best private communication suite for you, your friends and your business [Freeware]

Web services like Facebook and Twitter are very nice, but if you object to splashing your name and personal details all over cyberspace, you’ll probably be a little wary of committing your whole life to them. Especially if you’re living in a hostile environment where government snooping can lead to nasty consequences, even if you’re not doing anything illegal.

Adioso – innovative flight planner lets casual travelers get the very best price

There’s clearly some sort of massive upheaval going on in the travel world, if the rash of new flight planning applications are anything to go by. Our guess is aggressive cost cutting is masking a slow but steady fall in numbers, which is forcing the industry to sponsor new ways to attract customers.

Measy RC13 Wireless Voice Air Mouse – mouse, keyboard, mic, Bluetooth speaker? You got it!

Sometimes some is not enough. Some ice cream, some pizza, some vacation time. There are times when you want more, in fact times when we need as much as we can get, even at the risk of being called a greedy pig (no offence to porcines). And this applies to computer accessories too.
