Last month we told you about an auction for an interesting piece of Steve Jobs memorabilia: one of the Apple co-founder’s first job applications, dating back to 1973. When the listing was first announced by RR Auction, the document was expected to sell for $50,000. The gavel has now fallen, however, and the paper, complete with an 18-year-old Jobs’ signature … Continue reading
We have all been taught to brush our teeth correctly since we were young in order to obtain the best oral health condition possible. For many years, the way we brush our teeth has more or less remained the same, apart from the kind of toothpaste that we use, as well as slight advances in the way bristles in the toothbrush is designed. However, the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has helped change the landscape of everyday devices, including the humble toothbrush. Enter Dentii, the world’s first truly hygienic toothbrush that is capable of collecting data in order to provide feedback for better technique while helping to connect users to their dentists.
Dentii is more than just a smart toothbrush, in fact, it has been deemed to be a new integrated dental healthcare range that will bring together an immaculately designed, sleek electronic toothbrush, alongside single use, interchangeable brush heads. The whole idea would be launched on Kickstarter, where right at the core of the Dentii range would be a smartphone app that will hook up to the electric toothbrush as it maps the geometry of a patient’s mouth, taking into consideration the brushing paths and pressure. With the app itself, the data will be sent to the user’s dental professional for analysis, and should it be necessary, they will then inform the patient on how one is able to improve one’s dental routine afterwards.
In addition, Dentii is being developed to be the first toothbrush in the world that is able to prompt an individual to go to the dentist right from early detection of problems. Using patented technology, there is also the intention to develop this into the world’s first oral cancer screening tool, but that would certainly take some time before it becomes possible. The Dentii electric toothbrushes will be made using Anodized Aluminium, with a choice of Silver, Gold or Rose Gold versions for maximum sophistication. Pricing for the Dentii is tipped to begin from £59 onwards.

Edge is now available on the tablet, … Continue reading

When it comes to churning out watches for the masses that are reliable and long lasting, one of the names that come to mind would be Casio of Japan. Casio has long been a bastion of quality timepieces, and their G-SHOCK range has been held in high regard for delivering accurate time-telling while being able to survive even in the most demanding of situations. 2018 is a watermark year for Casio, as the company has decided to roll out the very first all-metal men’s model in the form of the G-SHOCK DW5000.
The first Full Metal 5000 collection will boast of a brand new, specially crafted all-metal timepiece that was inspired after 35 years by the original 1983 DW5000 design, which boasted of a square shaped bezel and brick pattern face. Of course, three and a half decades have passed since, enabling this upgraded 5000 series watch to bring with it a modern, lustrous, full stainless steel housing, without sacrificing on its vintage aesthetic look that pays homage to G-SHOCK’s origin. There will be a couple of featured colorways in this collection, where the GMWB5000D-1 will arrive in silver while the limited edition GMW5000TFG-9 can be had in gold.
In order to keep up with the times, this latest in a series of G-SHOCK Connected timepieces will feature Bluetooth connectivity, and at the same time incorporate a super illuminator LED light and solar battery in order to ensure that it will keep on going perpetually without ever having to change batteries. With its capability to self-charging perpetually, alongside two-way time sync with G-SHOCK’s Multi-Band 6 technology, shock resistance and 200M water resistance, world time (in 39 cities + UTC), a quartet of daily alarms and one snooze, a target alarm, a 1/100th second stopwatch and countdown timer, full auto calendar and 12/24hr formats, you know that this timepiece is all that you need. All of it are crammed into a fashionably slim 43.2mm case, where the new GMWB5000D-1 and GMWB5000TFG-9 will retail for $500 and $600, respectively from the beginning of May onwards.

Need some hot tea to stay warm on Hoth? Are you an Ewok who wants to make hot tea from some humans? Maybe you’re a Stormtrooper on a break. No worries. No matter who you are across the galaxy, we have found your new tea kettle. Your stovetop is about to join The Dark Side.
The Star Wars Darth Vader Stovetop Kettle is styled to resemble the silhouette of the Sith Lord’s iconic helmet. In this case, his helmet has a lightsaber attached to its side that you can use as a handle. This bad boy is officially licensed and made of stainless sleel, and will boil 1.7 liters (about 7 cups) of water.
It makes a damn fine cup of tea that even Captain Picard would admire – and he’s in a different universe. Search your teacup, you know it to be true. “Your father’s tea kettle. This is the kettle of a Jedi Knight. Not as random or as clumsy as a standard tea kettle. It makes an elegant brew for a more civilized age.”
It’s just too bad they couldn’t make the whistle sound like Darth Vader’s breathing. Or even have him cry Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! But it’s still an awesome tea kettle that every true nerd must have. Grab one today over at The Fowndry for $70.
These are sobering.
