Glow Graffiti Takes Vandalism to the Next Level


If you thought your city had a problem with graffiti now, imagine what will happen when those punk kids get a hold of a few cans of this glow-in-the-dark version

Nubrella – The Hands-Free Umbrella


How many of you carry an umbrella when it’s raining? Unless I know that I’ll be walking for long distances in the pouring rain, I won’t bother. I figure that I’ll spend more time standing in the rain closing the umbrella and trying to put it in the car than I’ll actually spend outside. If you have a thing about getting wet, you might want to check out the very interesting Nubrella.

The idea here is that you can have an umbrella that doesn’t require any hands, because lets face it, you don’t always have one. The other benefit is that your head is blocked from the elements on all sides. On the downside you look like you’re being eaten by a transparent Pac-Man. If you don’t mind the strange looks you’ll get, you can pick one up for $60.

Futuristic gadget: Mobile encyclopedia on a transparent slide, frame on any object to tell its details!

The transparent slide shown to you here is a mobile encyclopedia. To use it just frame it over an object, such as a building, and subsequently touch on a floor of the building on the slide and it’ll zoom into it and give you the full detail of that building









This transparent slide is just a concept, which is an idea to clam all the capabilities of Internet onto this super thin mobile device. It’ll feature touch screen, built in camera, scanner, WiFi, google map or google earth, google search, image search all in one slim device.

The super slim device shall contain a link to huge databases of information of every object on earth via the Internet. Just simply get any object framed within the slide, you can then zoom into more details of that object, by having your little finger touch on the slide. Other than buildings, you’ll have almost everything, including finding out more details about a car model, an insect name, what kind of food is served at a restaurant and how much, who built a bridge, etc.
If this gadget gets materialized, nothing on Earth will be as easy as using this super slim device for finding information. Furthermore, it’s tied to various online resources such as online dictionary, Wikipedia, thesaurus etc.
