This Floppy Disk Bag is a totally DIY project which you can use if you have boxes of flops laying around your office or house. If you think this is geeky, think again. Well, no we admit, it is geeky, but ...

Not a lot of people use shoe horns nowadays, a lot of people don’t even know how to use one (they don’t have to). Supposedly they’re invented in the 15th century, it’s a tool (first class lever) that holds the end of the shoe open for your heel to slide in more easily and smoothly. The Japanese use shoe horns ...

This unique wine opener was designed by Jonathan Sabine for his Vest Collection. The integration of the brass knucks looks like they were what the weapon was made to do. It looks like it would make things a lot easier to pop the cork. The brass knuckles are meant to add some dark humor, we guess in light of the ...

Japanese lanterns look great, the only problem is that they use candles, and they’re made of wood and paper. How about having something that looks pretty much exactly the same as those lanterns, saves the candles, can be powered via USB and also dubbed as an external speaker?

It’s a portable meter you can ...

But now they have something up their sleeves that may pose a more productive use. In conjunction with the Japanese Ringing Tone Laboratory, which ...

Not sure if you have ever heard of EMS (electrical muscle stimulation), it’s basically using an external electrical source to stimulate your muscles to work, hence mimicking the very act of working out. Not sure if it works, and not sure how well it works. Anyway, some Japanese company is combining this with your mouse, so you would have EMS ...

Prototypes are meant to be attractive, right? They’re supposed attract buyers to look into the company’s new technology. Toshiba might has just done the opposite with their fuel-cell technology. (fuel, being alcohol) We’ve seen fuel-cell driven notebooks and even Gigabeat MP3 players, but by far the most unattractive would be this: the A2DP headphones. Ok, fine, probably it doesn’t really ...
