Stepping out of a shower will always have you feeling squeaky clean. You’ve just removed all the grim and filth off of your person, and now you just need to towel off. Of course, if you haven’t washed your towel for a few showers, it’s going to smell a bit…ripe. Not only that, but you’re going to have to rub that stale cloth all over yourself, absorbing its scent.
If you would prefer to remove a towel from your cleaning regimen altogether so you don’t have to constantly wash them, there is a new way of doing things. The Body Dryer looks like a scale, but once you step on it will start blasting you with warm or cool air to dry you off after swimming, working out, bathing, or whatever else would have you covered in water. This was created to remove bacteria-filled towels from otherwise clean spaces.
It uses super-compressed ionized air at strategic angles that will push the water down and off of you. This can also act as a scale, and has a relatively sleek profile so it can be tucked away when not in use. It is said to dry you off within thirty seconds, but that is likely for those who don’t have long, luscious locks. This will cost you around $150, and is currently part of a successfully crowd-funded campaign. Once it hits retailers, the price will rocket up to $250 a pop.
Available for crowdfunding on Indiegogo

We have already seen all there is to see about Titanfall on the PC and Xbox One game consoles. The Xbox 360 version of the game was originally supposed to launch alongside the other two versions, but was delayed. The launch of the Xbox 360 version is set to happen tomorrow in North America and this Friday in the UK.
Some people have their hands on the game early and are posting up video footage of game play action. I wouldn’t be surprised to see these people posting videos early get hit by the banhammer. Still, if you are trying to decide if you should shell out the money for the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall, you will welcome these videos.
Overall, the graphics and framerate look pretty good. Certainly, the graphics won’t be as nice on the Xbox 360 as they are on the Xbox One or PC, especially the textures and lighting. Still they look pretty good.
It’s nice to see that while the Xbox 360 is no longer cutting edge, impressive games are still launching for the console.

Sadly, it looks like Darth Vader has been barred from running for President of Ukraine. Officials have found out that he was using a false name. You might remember that Vader had been nominated for the post by the Internet Party of Ukraine. Not anymore. The country’s electoral commission voted by 14-1 to reject his nomination.
They cited fraudulent behavior in contravention of election rules. It probably didn’t help that he is known for building Death Stars and wiping out entire planets. He was one of 23 candidates rejected out of the 46 nominations.
The candidate submitted a passport to election officials, issued last month, in the name of Darth Vader. While other paperwork he submitted was in the name of Viktor Shevchenko, an electrician born in 1956. Prank or not, this was expensive. Applying as presidential candidate costs 2.5 million Ukrainian hyrvnia. That is more than $200,000(USD).
Sorry Mr. Vader. Maybe next time.

While some of us require complete and total silence before we are able to actually catch some shuteye, others would need to have their favorite soothing tunes playing in the background – as the dead silence of the night drives them completely bonkers. Well, we are glad to say that the £39.99 Bluetooth iMusic Pillow plays this role perfectly, where it is far more comfortable and less sweaty compared to wearing a pair of headphones as you go to bed.
Not only that, the clever implementation of Bluetooth connectivity would mean you no longer run the risk of ending up in a tangled mess the next morning, just like your hair. Whether you purchase the Bluetooth iMusic Pillow to cure your insomnia, to listen to music or to learn a new foreign language, it has a built-in speaker that was specially designed so that it will not be a cause of disturbance to folks sleeping around you, all the while working as an aural “shield” against heavy snorers, now how about that?

…. Don’t ask what it does; ask what it doesn’t do, and I’d have to think
hard. Ah! it doesn’t accommodate your bathroom needs and it doesn’t
bring your breakfast to you (unless you have a robot aide, and then it
could command it), but it might be able to cook your breakfast –
remotely, of course.
