As part of what we can only assume is preparation for some very intense mad scientist Halloween costumes, IBM has announced a prototype computer that is both powered and cooled by an electrolyte liquid.

We all know someone who can never seem to get comfy, no matter the temperature. They’re always pulling off sweaters because they’re too hot, or cranking up the heat because they’re too cold. But soon, salvation for these folks could come in the form of a special wristband that uses a copper heatsink to fool your body into thinking it’s just been warmed or cooled—when in reality, the ambient temperature hasn’t changed.

For those of us out there who love to pimp out our respective desktop computers to maximize their performance, it will more often than not involve overclocking. Needless to say, overclocking is a highly technical skill, and if you like to push the proverbial envelope always, then surely you would need to figure out just how you would keep that processor cool while working beyond its intended limits. A great cooling solution would come in handy, but just which particular one should you settle for? Digital Storm thinks that they might have a solution in the form of the HydroLux desktop cooling solution.
< !-more-->The HydroLux has been described to be a complete desktop cooling solution which will combine liquid as well as airflow cooling with fully customizable control software. This will not be a cooling solution that you can get anywhere, but rather, it will be available exclusively on Digital Storm desktops, where HydroLux will be able to monitor and automatically adjust the temperature fluctuations in real-time, now how about that for taking a leap in the realm of PC cooling?
The HydroLux will boast of a proprietary Control Center software which will deliver enthusiasts complete control of the cooling system and chassis. This would also include detailed temperature graphs, thermal linked LED lighting as well as automated airflow optimization. A simple click of your mouse button will see the HydroLux transform chassis LED lighting into a powerful tool that will be able to monitor system temperatures. Whenever internal system and fluid temperatures rise, HydroLux will give you a visual representation of the fluctuations by fading LED lighting from a cool blue to a warm red. Enthusiasts too, will be able to get a visual indication of when they have pushed their system to new heights, as the chassis lighting will switch to red every time a maximum temperature recording is exceeded.

It’s not always easy having pets. You have to go out of your way for them. When you travel, do you leave your pet at an expensive kennel or do you leave it home with the air conditioner running and somebody coming over to take them out for walks? Either way, it is expensive. MRT Corp’s personally cooled dog kennel(JP) could help with the cooling part at least.
This small kennel has very own cooling unit and measures 43 × 43 × 47 cm. Yes, that seems pretty confining, but at least your pet will be cool. If you have a great dane, you’ll have to get one for each of its paws and another for its head. And just like our favorite gadgets, the new kennel is available in a variety of colors: wood grain, pastel pink, and pastel blue.
This mini dog fridge can be set from 10 to 40 degrees. I’m guessing that is Celsius, unless you want a dogsicle. It also costs approximately $515(USD) – so maybe you should just leave the air conditioning on.

There’s a reason Xbox One comes in that whopping great 1980s VCR style case, and it’s not because some one in authority at Microsoft went mad. It’s for cooling, to help keep it quiet and reliable—and so you can leave it switched on constantly for the next ten years.

Thanko released a sticker they call the “Mobile Heat Sink” for cooling down a heated smart phone, PC battery, tablet, game device etc. Just by attaching it on a device, it can make it cool down by about -2 C degrees.
The way it works is that it absorbs heat.
It is not clear how many times it can be applied, but the site says that it is guaranteed for 2 weeks…
Price: ¥680
Size: 38mm x 0.2mm x 47mm

Nest Labs isn’t counting solely on the allure of discounts from power companies to reel us in this spring. It’s pushing out a 3.5 update to all versions of the Nest Learning Thermostat that should be make it smarter about saving money — even if it means spending a little up front. Along with the utility tie-ins from last week, the upgrade adds a Cool to Dry mode that invokes air conditioning when it’s too humid, raising the energy bill slightly to avoid a costlier mold outbreak. The thermostat also won’t be easily duped by the sun: a new Sunblock setting prevents unnecessary cooling whenever direct sunlight affects the temperature reading. Homeowners who just want more precision, meanwhile, may be happy with both refined fan scheduling (shown above) as well as mobile app updates that introduce alert messages and a more thermostat-like interface. Those with Nest units connected to WiFi should see version 3.5, and hopefully its intended savings, by 9PM Eastern tonight.
