Join Tau Ceramica Diet Floor
I’m not certain who would want a floor that would talk to them, but a Spanish ceramics company known as Tau Ceramica has created one.
Inventor Pep Torres has created the Diet Floor, specific ceramic tiles that are weight sensitive and have a CPU for different parameters. These two features work together with the speakers in order to tell loiterers what’s up.
For example, if you put them by the refrigerator, it will detect someone standing in front of it and will say a few choice phrases like “Keep your diet in mind before you snack”, or something. I have no idea if those voice files come with the Diet Floor, or are programmed by the user, and I’m not certain which would have more of an effect on the hearer.
The Diet Floor can also be programmed for a different type of environment, such as the office. For example, it can detect whether employees are spending far too much time in front of the watercooler. It will then respond with something like: “Hey, the company is not paying you to stand around”.

Movers & Shakers of the dining table variety
Despite having different number of holes (in different sizes, to boot!), many people still can’t tell the difference between a salt shaker and the other that carries pepper inside. The Movers & Shakers (how aptly named) home improvement item will definitely put a smile on anybody’s face once they see it in action – all you need to do is pull the cords on them and they’ll automatically shake themselves over your food, leaving you with a better seasoned dish for you to tuck in.

SP8PRT lets you print what you see
I’ll admit that the idea of a digital picture frame is growing on me. I have far more pictures on my computer than I’d ever dream of actually printing out, so it might be cool to show them off. I would likely go for one that’s simple and basic, as it’s really just a picture frame, what else would you want it to do? Apparently there are a lot of people looking at digital frames wishing they could just instantly print off a picture. This is evident by Smartparts’ latest frame.
