These robot toilet paper holders may not have a single hi-tech feature going for them, but the fact that they’re robot heads just makes up for it. Although I do wish they automatically ate the toilet paper when too much was hanging down. Maybe with a random sound effect to go with it. However, I’m afraid although these are incredibly cool, they are about as low tech as they come.
Sprint has begun to ship its Airave signal booster nationwide, enabling folks who are suffering from horrendous Sprint service in their homes will be able to get supposedly better reception by forking out another $99.99 to receive the base station at your doorstep. In addition to that initial investment, you’ll also need to slap another $4.99 monthly to extend your coverage with your current call plan, or $10 if you want to make unlimited calls via Airave with a single Sprint phone. Double that amount to do the same with multiple lines. If call quality is that important to you, I guess this little bit more you’ll need to pony up is worth every penny, but otherwise switch to a better carrier.

When I first saw the IOCELL Contents Phone, I thought I was looking at something designed by Bang and Olufsen. I mean it has that cool grey color, plus a very blue look on the numbers. It also has a very artistic aesthetic, putting the receiver on the bottom of the phone and not the top that is interesting, to say the least. Not only that, it is a very practical device.
The IOCELL contents phone has a hard disk drive that allows the user to record conversations. The user can then download those audio files to his or her computer, and play them on an MP3 player or the Internet. We can only hope that there is no privileged information being shared.
Other features of the IOCELL are voice guidance, and there is apparently a way to put music files on the phone, as well as a way to put music on hold. You can also put in background music, but we don’t have too many details on that.
Of course, there are other features that you would find on other phones, such as a speakerphone, or an immediate call-in emergency.
The IOCELL content phone is available at the IOCELL website, but I have not seen a price. In fact, the site is translated from the Korean, so I’m not certain if this IOCELL content phone is available everywhere.
This new lamp can be filed under all that is bizarre and the slightest bit creepy. They are hand blown glass and made to look exactly like your eyes. So if you’re a bit full of yourself when it comes to your eye color, now you can show it off through a bit of quirky lighting. Although I imagine your guests would feel the slightest bit unnerved by sitting next to a set of lamps that keep staring back at them.
One of the chef issues with food preparation, aside from the dreaded salmonella, is cross-contamination. Cross contamination is where you use the same cutting board to cut your chicken as you do your vegetables and bacteria or other contaminates from their way from one to the other. No big deal if the cook is making Pasta Primavera, but if it’s a chicken salad, then that dreaded “S” word can rear it’s ugly head if the cook forgets to wash the cutting board between dishes. Unless, of course, they have this nifty color-coded set of cutting boards.
Inject some fun into your house chores with the RC Floor Sweeper - a device that is guaranteed to get the kids scampering after you, asking for dibs on getting the floor cleaned. The reason is simple - one end of an electrostatic dust mop has been connected to an RC car, letting you clean your room in record time without having to walk around (at least until the range between the remote control and car is too far apart). This will take care of minor dust bunnies and all, but it won’t do nuts for stains on the floor. Other drawbacks include not burning any more calories and you’re polluting the environment with more batteries.

The most notorious mama’s boy of all time has got to be Norman Bates from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. He takes the term and brings it to a whole new level of derangement. The only problem is that the original Psycho wasn’t much of a slasher flick. It was built more around suspense than anything else.
But for those who are fans of blood and guts, you might have been slightly disappointed by what they get from the Hitchcock thriller. There have been Psycho themed shower curtains in the past, and really, how could there not be with that famous bathroom scene? But none of them show much bloodshed. This Sound/Motion sensing Bloody Shower Curtain fits the bill for those of you who are more in to slashers than suspense.
