This kid has managed to render OnStar obsolete and he’s all the way on the other side of the world doing it! The self taught gadget wiz, Morris Mbetsa, has managed to create an anti-theft device and tracking system for vehicles that’s cellphone-based. The owner can take control of their vehicle’s ignition and disable it with his/her cellphone at any time. Locking the car remotely as well as the ability to listen in on any conversations taking place within the vehicle all via your cellular phone are two other features Mbetsa has added to his invention.

Sometimes stickers that make your car look beat up or fake head units just won’t do the trick to prevent would-be thieves. We like what this young man has done and we look forward to seeing more of his amazing hacks.

Its taken many years to get this far, but technology has finally reached the point to develop something of such sheer genius that our minds can barely wrap around the concept. That’s right, friends. Finally, the three player ping pong table. Table tennis has been an underlying cult sport for decades and we’ve noticed that whenever playing ping pong, there always seems to be that third person who wants to play, but has to wait his turn to “play winner”. The table for three destroys the need for a third wheel and includes the third wheel right into the gameplay. This should make our monthly ping pong tournaments pretty interesting. — Andrew Dobrow
