And we thought Rubik’s Cube was impossible, even with visual aid. This cube puzzle is made for those without sight, instead relying on touch, rather than color orientation.

  NEC has developed a prototype for a wireless security camera that run off of the power generated by fluorescent light bulbs. The camera just needs to be hung on the ceiling in close proximity to a florescent light source, where it is connected with a wire with a ring-like adapter on the other end. The flourecent light produces energy through the adapter using electromagnetic induction. The key to the power is not the actual glow, but the magnetic field... Continue reading

  We’ve seen some pretty cool techy business cards, like the USB Business Card Drive, but not any cards that can be used for a practical purpose like these New Cards. Thin enough to fit right into your waller, the New Card integrates items of everyday use right into your wallet. The toothpick + mirror card might save you on a date, keeping stray spinach from slipping in between your pearly whites. Want a beer, but are far too lazy... Continue reading
