3D Printed Star Trek Figures Personalized With Your Head
A month ago we wrote about a service that lets you 3D print your head on a stormtrooper figure. It was a great way to feel the force.

Tech Used To Create Sweat-Resistant Fabric Eliminates Sweat On Clothes
Unless we're at the gym working out, sweat on clothes is just plain gross. There is nothing sexy about sweaty armpits that are leaking through on a shirt.

These Anti-Google Glass Privacy Glasses Keep Your Privacy Intact
It's likely that after Google glass is available to everyone in 2014, there will be another company that creates something similar (maybe not as sophisticated) for cheaper.

Beer Glass Keeps People From Checking Smartphones When Socializing
When I'm at restaurants, I routinely look around to count all the people who are on their smartphones instead of engaging with the people who are sitting at the table.
