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.

5 Top Tech Companies Have More Money Than You Think [Infographic]
We write a lot about the top tech companies in the world and how much they're worth. It's mind boggling really when you start to think about the money those companies have.

3B Printing Project: 80,000 Bees Make Whiskey Bottle Out Of Honeycomb
The combination of nature and technology is interesting, yet sometimes bizarre. A few weeks ago we featured a Silkworm 3D Printer which used the thread of silkworms in the production of '3D printed' creations. It was an impressive innovation. Today I'd like to share another printing project that use ...

Why iOS7 Is A Solid Update But Not An Evolutionary One
iOS7 was announced by Apple last week, and it proved to be divisive. Many people were happy with the flat and stark visual changes made by Jony Ive and his team, while others were aghast at the child-like color choices for the icons and the “adoption” of features from other platforms. Perhaps the bi ...
The Most Realistic 3D Printed Action Figures (Of You And Your Pet)
Ever since 3D printing became popular, people have had fun body scanning themselves to create 3D replicas.

The Guitar That Can Type An Email Makes Email Interesting Again
For me, checking and replying to emails is the most boring part of my workday. It's the only boring part actually.

Wood Headphones Are A Refreshing Change (And You Can Burn Them)
There are so many fancy headphone designs out there, but they all pretty much look the same.

Their rectangular shape and unusual style make these perfect for anyone who is tir ...
Wearable Device Lets You Play Air Guitar Like A Real Pro
If you want to see some stellar air guitar performances, all you have to do is hit Interstate 285 in Atlanta around rush hour.

Power Pocket: Jean Shorts Charge Your Smartphone With Body Heat
I remember this year at CES there was a thermoelectric wristwatch unveiled that could convert body heat into electricity.

RoboRoach: Control The Movements Of A Live Cockroach With Your Phone
