Beer brewing and drinking are activities that have been part of the human experience seemingly since the dawn of civilization. Around 10,000 years ago, mankind began to move away from living life as nomadic hunter gatherers, and began settling down in one spot to farm the land. Grain, a vital ingredient in beer making, was cultivated by these new agricultural societies.
Too lazy to carry your clubs, but not so lazy that you want to take a cart? The X9 Follow is a Bluetooth-connected electric golf trolley designed and created by Stewart Golf. It is a compact and foldable trolley, that unfolds in one smooth movement. Just unfold it for use, open its front cover, connect the lightweight lithium-ion battery and put the cover on. Then, let it follow you around the course.
Just place the Bluetooth handset on your back pocket or belt and begin walking, the X9 Follow will follow behind you until you stop. Of course, you’ll need to stop it in a spot where it won’t block your shot.
The X9 Follow will be available in the UK in June 2014 for £1499 (~$2500 USD). Looks like the robots have stolen yet another human job, putting caddies out of work.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has just posted video of a successful F9R launch, their re-usable rocket concept. The shuttle (pronounced “f-niner”, incidentally) is shown taking off, rising to 250 meters, then … Continue reading
I remember looking toward the edge of town and thinking that something seemed off. We had stopped here before crossing the Continental Divide, in one of those typically charming Colorado mountain communities. Yet a few blocks away from its railroad-era Main Street lined with historic 1890s structures, there were almost cartoonish versions of those same buildings, arranged in an unnaturally tight grid.
On launch, Paper was widely viewed as the best app Facebook had created, with many preferring it to the app proper. It lacked a few features the Facebook had, which … Continue reading
There are items that can do multiple jobs and make our lives easier. The Swiss Army Knife is a prime example, as it has a variety of tools in one place that don’t necessarily correspond with one another, but come in handy. Sometimes a marketing team gets together and makes something that is multifunctional, but in a way that doesn’t make much sense.
One such product is the TowlHub, as it will give you 4 USB ports, a wine stopper, speakers, and a place to put your paper towels in the kitchen. It’s not that these things can’t be together in a single device, more that it doesn’t make sense. You don’t generally want any electronic gadgets around water, and seeing that we use paper towels during cooking, cleaning, and a myriad of other activities that often include H2O in the kitchen, this would not be the safest place for your gear.
If you do like the idea and think you can keep this far enough away from the sink, it would be nice to have an easy-access Bluetooth speaker that would never be moved around. The wine stopper hiding in the top of the towel holder would be nice, but it will look a bit weird once it is in use. If you’d like to have the hub without the speakers it will cost around $50, and with them in place it will be around $80.

The police have long used thermal imaging cameras to detect marijuana growing operations. Now, thanks to drones, crooks are getting into the weed-finding game too. Except in their case, they’re trying to find the weed so they can steal it.
The good news is, Frito-Lay Japan’s Doritos Gourmet Bacon & Mustard tortilla chips hit store shelves on April 21st. The bad news is they’re only available in Japan or in your wildest dreams.
