Star Wars Lightsaber Umbrella: Keeping You Jedi Dry
It's somewhat weird to write this article today since the sky shows itself from its brightest side with a clear blue canvas and full on sunshine.

Techie Powers: Future Superpowers Of Mobile Phones [Infographic]
If you are a smartphone user, I am quite sure you have your favorite application on that device of yours.

When A Citroén Looks Like This I am Getting One…
It's become such a stereotyped thing, but everyone knows boys like cars and girls like shoes. I know, it's pretty lame really that I even have to type that since we all wish the world was just a little bit more diverse, right? However, the fact is, it seems this statement isn't too far off. I mean, ...
8 Retro Imaginary Advertisements For Modern Gadgets
As new gadgets get ever more advanced, so do the advertisements for them.

Real Life Like Button: Tracking Your Greatness

Inventive Pool Spray Painting: Skateboard Style
Believe it or not, as a kid, I skateboarded quite a lot. I was never as good as any of the guys you've probably checked out on YouTube, but I could do a few tricks. Sure, I wasn't the best in my group of friends, but I sure tried my best to fit in. I later went over to inlining instead, which I was ...
Mind Numbing Retro Gadgets Made Out Of Paper
I wonder how long it will be until we completely ditch the paper we keep printing on every day.

Badass Nostalgic Steampunk Rotary Smartphone
Sometimes when people are thinking up ideas, they just don't go all the way to the very limit. They stay safe within their comfort zone, or they keep things in the range where they know people are most likely to be interested. Star Wars is a good example of that, and we've seen a thousand examples o ...
