Dyson Air-Line: Clothesline Of The Future
Drying clothes in a green way can be very time consuming. Usually hanging clothes on a outdoor clothesline is the most efficient way to do so, but it takes forever. Dyson has a new concept called Air-Line which users wind power as well as solar heat to dry clothes without the need of an electrical dryer. So you get a fully natural dry in a much shorter amount of time, while utilizing a hybrid of natural energies.
The Titanic Was Just One Large Fun Slide
You have to imagine there was at least one psycho guy on the Titanic on that fateful night, that just thought the whole thing was a blast. Now we all have the opportunity to relive the fun incident that was the Titanic disaster. The Titanic Adventure Slide is 33 feet high, with a 50 foot slide for making the long plummet into the frigid Atlantic. The bad news is that fun at the Titanic magnitude will cost you around $9,295.... Continue reading
Sharp readies high-end phone outside Japan, finally
Sharp is not a major player in the phone industry outside Japan, but it has definitely attracted a sizable group of cult followers. However the company has not been launching any high-end phones since more than 2 years ago (Sharp 903/ SX833/ WX-T91), well this is about to change this year. Earlier this month FCC has given go-ahead to a model called SX862 (Hong Kong Smartone-Vodafone indexing) which, from the illustration, looks almost identical to the high-end Softbank 920SH AQUOS...

You Say You Want A Revolution Door
Green power generation isn’t easy for large buildings. Some high-powered businesses, such as casinos and office buildings, would need a solar power grid the size of Rhode Island (the smallest state, but come on). The Revolution Door adds a turbine to the revolving door of power hungry businesses. As people come and go through the doors, power is generated. Might not be enough to power a whole building, but could contribute to a hybrid effort. — Andrew Dobrow Link

How The Maul Stole Christmas
Speaking of Star Wars oddities, check out this toy spotted on Ebay. Most of us have seen the family holiday favorite, How The Grinch Stole Christmas. But not many of us have seen the less known How The Darth Maul Stole Christmas. Actually, we’re quite sure it doesn’t even exist. If you have $25 extra bucks, you can own your very own Darth Maul action figure, donning a Santa Claus uniform. Buy it, and don’t open it. Let it sit.... Continue reading
SIM Card Manager: Dude, Where’s My Translator?
Looking very much like one of those translating/portable dictionary devices from yesteryear, the SIM Card Manager is actually a lot more useful than you’re led to believe from its appearance. Offering the sexiness of a full QWERTY keypad, the device can save 3 different SIM card phone number databases on its on-board storage, providing you with a back-up plan unless one of the cards takes a turn to the grave. Following in the footsteps of the old-time organizers it seems... Continue reading
Mario Slippers Let You Walk Like A Plumber
If you still find yourself walking like an Egyptian when you hear a dance-worthy song, it’s time to consider yourself being out of the times. Not that donning a pair of Mario slippers will make you any more hip (actually they’ll more than likely have the reverse effect). But damn, if they aren’t the coolest mushroom themed slippers ever. — Andrew Dobrow Link
Nosy Neighbor Rod: Shh, I’m Eavesdropping
While it looks to be as easy as strapping a stethoscope to a stick, the Neighbor Rod is a tool used for looking creepy and eavesdropping on your friends, family, and neighbors, without them being any the wiser to your intentions. Oddly enough, the Neighbor Rod can also be used to knock on the wall, we guess to ask for silence. Well now, that isn’t very neighborly is it? — Andrew Dobrow Link [via]
