If you are as big a fan of crispy, crunchy bacon as I am all you will need to hear is this- Bacon Soap. If you need a bit more explanation, here it is. ThinkGeek has some hand soaps in bars that smell like manly food and drink. The hand soaps are available in three scents; the bacon scent we have seen before.

Made by Outlaw Soaps, the set of three scents include bacon, coffee, and whiskey. I can get behind the bacon-scented soap, it even looks like bacon with the red and white marbling. The coffee soap makes sense too, while I hate the taste of coffee, it smells pretty good.

The whiskey soap is the questionable one to me. I can only imagine explaining to a cop that pulls you over and smells whiskey that you just took a bath.

Over the past couple of months Apple has taken a number of new steps to increase iPhone sales around the world, the biggest being its deal with the world’s largest mobile carrier, China Mobile. Apple also relaunched the iPhone 4 at a discounted price in India to push more units in the market. Apple might rely on carriers to sell its iPhones, but it has certain criterias that need to be met. Carriers need to guarantee sales volumes, only then Apple goes for a deal. Russia’s second largest mobile operator, Megafon, has not sold iPhones since 2009 just become it wasn’t able to guarantee sales volumes.

Traveling by bicycle is easy and low-cost, so you would think that everyone would be doing it. However, it does take some coordination, more time to travel to and fro, and is far more dangerous than being in a vehicle. They don’t come with standard lights or temperature control either, but if you know how to dress properly for the weather and purchase a decent set of lights, you should be alright.

Finding the right lighting equipment to put on your bike can be annoying. Batteries need to be kept up with, mounting is a pain, and some have cables you need to worry about. The Magnic iC is certainly going to change all that. This is a light that is powered by your cycling, and doesn’t touch your wheel, give you any cables to mess with, or provide you with any resistance while you ride. The best part is that you’ll never have to worry about batteries ever again!

This has a very bright LED light that will keep steady while you ride or slow to a stop. It runs on a little generator full of magnets, that needs to be near a wheel that has aluminum rims. Getting a set for the the front and back of your bike will cost you around $180, and as this crowdfunding campaign is about to reach a stretch goal, all lights will probably come with an anti-theft system which you can mount.

Available for crowdfunding on Kickstarter

Football and jetpacks have a long history together. But what if you actually strapped the jetpacks on the players? That was the idea in this illustration from a 1981 kids’ book that promised "zero-gravity" football played in space colonies of the future.
