Keeping pets cool in summer and warm in the winter usually involves some
kind of electric or solar power, but the Kitty Tube does both without
any power. It does it so well, that the Kitty Tube is great for outdoor
cats too! Now, you may have seen this cat house before, but the
manufacturer has upgraded its design and materials, so now the Tube is
even better!
Sony’s had limited tests of its cloud-based gaming service running for the last few months, but it’s taking PlayStation Now to the next level tomorrow by letting anyone with a PS4 (that’s in the continental US or southern Canada) join in. There’s a…
The folks behind the Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury suggest they’ve created a new age in gaming mouse technology. This device does not just rely on an optical sensor – they’ve incorporated several different sensors to make certain that there’s no point at which any one sensor is relied upon too heavily. Inside the Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury you’ll find both … Continue reading
Earlier this month we featured a concept for a device that turns water and other ingredients into wine. Jason Poel Smith’s hack on the other hand is more for laughs, and is easy to make on your own. Behold, brothers and sisters, a box that turns water into wine!
As you may have guessed, the wine that comes out of Jason’s contraption isn’t made from the water that’s poured in it. Inside the box are two soda bottles connected by small tubes. The first bottle is empty while the second one is filled with wine. When water is poured from the funnel, it pushes some of the air out of the first bottle. The air goes to the second bottle, where it pushes wine out of the box to make space for itself.
Head to Instructables to find out how you can make your own water to wine box. If you’re looking for a more polished or challenging variant, check out Party Robotics’ water to wine cooler.

Ethan Swanson, the lunatic making this ridiculous roof jump, is a professional stunt man, so he sees life differently than the rest of us. Where normal humans see buildings and houses and stairs, Swanson sees a playground. This jump, which starts from the top of a building and ends on stairs, is just epic.
Not happy that Verizon is going to throttle unlimited LTE data plans? You’re not alone. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has just sent a letter to Verizon Wireless CEO Dan Mead criticizing the carrier for the new policy. He’s “deeply troubled” by the move,…
I always thought the Klingon language was made up of sounds that were invented while people were clearing their throats. My favorite Klingon was Worf from The Next Generation and if you want to be a little more like Worf, you need this letter opener.
You can prove that your electric bill has no honor by slicing it open with the D’k tahg letter opener that looks like a little version of Worf’s own knife. The opener is perfect for hand-to-hand combat with pesky envelopes.
The D’k tahg letter opener is made from a zinc alloy. It measures 8″ x 3″ x 4″ and weighs about five ounces. Sadly, the secondary blades don’t spring open like the one from series – they’re fixed. It is an officially licensed Star Trek collectable and you can pick one up for $24.99 from ThinkGeek.
Crytek USA’s CEO and others quit last week over lack of pay, according to sources that are said to be familiar with what went down. This follows Crytek’s downsizing that took place recently at the studio in Texas, and is said to have resulted after weeks of salary payments being made late. Crytek USA’s senior staff are all said to … Continue reading
Verizon’s plans to start throttling some users has caught the attention of the FCC, which recently fired off a letter to the carrier asking questions about the business change. The letter was from Chairman Tom Wheeler, who said that he is “deeply troubled” by Verizon’s plans. This past Friday, Verizon revealed that some of its heavy data users on the … Continue reading
I like sandwiches with crunchy and toasty bread. Take a nice grilled cheese for instance, it’s great when the bread is crispy and the cheese is hot, but wait a few minutes and you end up with a soggy coagulated mess of bread and cheese. This is a big concern for a California restaurant chain called The Melt, who specializes in grilled cheese sandwiches.
You can imagine how challenging it is to deliver grilled cheese sandwiches that don’t suck. To solve this issue, The Melt decided to invent its own delivery system to keep the sandwiches warm and crunchy. The solution is called the Smart Box. It was invented by The Melt founder, and former Flip camera founder, Jonathan Kaplan.
He created a box for the sandwiches with holes for airflow and an outer box that has microprocessor controlled heating elements and fans. That tech ensures the proper moisture in the air and heat for delivering a perfect sandwich within a range of 30 minutes from the grill. Now if only they’d deliver outside of California.
