The smoke anywhere cigarette

gamcig_lg.jpg

Feeling a little juvenile lately? Does breaking the law makes you feel powerful and on top of the world?

Smoke in buildings and restaurants with the Gamucci Micro Electronic Cigarette, where it smokes like a cigarette, it tastes like a cigarette and it looks like a cigarette…except that there is no smoke and no tobacco.

What is the point of this effing thing, you say? Well, look at it in a therapeutic sense - smokers find smoking hard to quit because it has become a part of their lifestyle. It is not just the nicotine, it is the holding something in between the fingers and the act of puffing smoke out of their lips that makes the whole nicotine experience a well rounded one. If nicotine was the only addictive thing in a cigarette, nicotine patches would have gotten people quit with zero % of failing rate. Smokers miss the behavior of smoking and Gamucci Micro Electronic cigarette allows them to slowly wean off the behavior while having a controlled intake of nicotine. It is a win-win situation.

It is also a situation where you can sit on top of the fence smoking and no one can do a thing to you because it is not a real cigarette. :P

This is an invention that is cool for the set of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids part quatre - you know when Nick, his son, gets into the shower that his dad (Played by Rick Moranis) zupped up. The shower has lights that indicates…what? You dont know what I am talking about?

Face Bank

face_bank_1.jpg

Dropping coins into the piggy bank can be quite uninspiring. So a different kind of piggy banks are emerging, the face kind where you literally feed it with coins.

Not only do you save but you also entertain yourself. It’s like having a pet that feeds on money. The eyes acts as sensors to which it will detect your presence before gulping up the money you leave on its mouth. Neat eh?

Would you spend $15million on this?

orchid-house.jpg

This is an eco-house that is made in a such a way that it generates more energy than it uses. It is an eco-house that is suppose resemble a flower of a certain orchid species. From this angle, it looks like a mutated lobster - but that’s okay the money spent on it makes it the most sensational monument ever build in the country side of UK.

I am not surprised that the anonymous buyer wanted to remain anonymous but rumors have it that the person is from the entertainment industry. I am putting my money on one of England’s knights.

Seriously, why would anyone in their right mind would spend $15 million on a house like that? So what if it generates more energy than it uses? If the purpose is to set an example then the target for such setting aims at the higher echelon of society only. Sure, like I have $15million in my drawers right now hidden under a pile of underwear. How about feeding some poor nation or sponsor 1,000 children from poor countries with that money?

Pffttt…rich people, they are not always smarter.

A video about robots

Mute the video as I find the music to be corny. But the robots presented here are pretty cool. We’ve definitely come a long way in respects to AI and it won’t be long before we have a robotic nanny.

Hey, they have a robotic donkey already, who balances really well even though you gave it a kick in the ass. :P
