AlwaysClean Self-Closing Pacifier Saves Baby From Sucking Lint
Sometimes, even the little things are a matter or luxury. Normal baby pacifiers have the tendency of falling out of the toddler’s mouth onto the dirty floor. And believe it or not, most parents aren’t going to waste the time to go sanitize the dirtied toy in alcohol. The AlwaysClean Self-Closing Pacifier stays clean by closing the nipple’s special enclosure whenever the pacifier is dropped out of the babies mouth. This way, there’s no more schmutz sticking to the nipple and causing a choking hazard. Wow, never thought I would say that sentence. It might be well priced at only $3, but we bet its more expensive than a traditional pacifier.
What’s on your e-menu?
Not those catchy, palate tempting lines or hoardings anymore but there is a new, call it interactive technology, which should make your taste buds salivating more than before for you would even have the option of not just getting lured by those meals but even ordering them there and then…welcome to the future! Other than the global warming making me realise that the last stint of future has arrived, a menu screen on my table with touch screen options enabling me to order a meal, really makes me belief that the time has surely arrived. The technology has gained rapid popularity in Europe, the US and Japan and if found satisfying, could become a phenomenon throughout. The aforementioned are not the first ones to put it to practice though. Conceptic, an Israeli start-up company has installed the e-menu options in pubs, their popular sushi bars and the family restaurants.

Tea bags or tea "sticks"?
A Chinese inventor Lee Yuen Qin designed tea "stick" - a new type of disposable tea bags. The production of this item is almost the same as that of usual tea bags, because materials used are similar. The only difference is its design. The main idea of Chinese designer consists in a will to combine two processes: brewing and stirring.
Self Cleaning Windshield
The Hidra concept car from Pininfarina automotive designer Leonardo Fioravanti will feature a windshield that repels both water and dirt, hence eliminating the need for wipers. This windshield was developed using nanotechnology, featuring a quartet of layers to help it do its job. The top layer is made out of titanium oxide that repels water quickly, while the second layer pushes dirt off to its sides, keeping the windshield clean. There is a sensor located in the third layer, while the fourth layer is powered by electricity to run the show. I say, won't it be pretty sucky if somebody breaks your windshield to get to that GPS system inside? It'd be a shame, since the replacement will probably cost you an arm, a leg and a kidney.
