Hasta La Gadget!

Dyson is a company that many of you guys probably recognize thanks to the vacuum cleaners and their bladeless fans. Now those are pretty cool as far as home appliances are concerned and we’re sure that many out there would to own a Dyson product, although admittedly they are pretty expensive.

That being said, it seems that Dyson has announced their second-generation of bladeless fans, the Air Multiplier, which according to the company, is 75% quieter than the original version! Now while the original version was something of a novelty with a bladeless operation, it wasn’t exactly silent, but with the second-generation, those who felt that the original was too noisy for their liking, this is something worth checking out.

There are many out there who aren’t a fan of DRMs. These people are not necessarily pirates, just people who want to enjoy their purchases when they want, wherever they want. However it is understandable why companies implement the system to discourage pirates.

However is there a point when DRMs get a little out of hand? After all, is there really a need to include DRMs in a coffee machine? Well that’s what Green Mountain Coffee Roasters did with their new coffee machines, the Keurig 2.0. (more…)

Having a house with a plot of land is a dream for many, but with it, comes stuff like having to prune the garden, water the plants, and making sure that not a single weed grows in there. That could translate to a whole lot of work really, and at times, you might even feel like purchasing a patch of artificial grass instead. Researcher and artist Cassinelli Alvaro decided to work on the Toro-bot instead, where it will arrive in a pair of walking, locationally-aware robots that has Japanese lanterns as heads. This is as weird as it gets, don’t you think so? These tiny garden robots will move around your garden from time to time so that you have a “new” look each time – without having to lift a single finger along the way.

We’ve seen environmentally friendly washing machines in the past, such as the HydroDrive with a 12-minute cycle. Xeros has taken the wraps off its own similarly-efficient offering, except with one … Continue reading

They say that a person’s eyes are the windows to his or her soul. But what about the windows to your home? They’re literally windows to your life, but could they also be windows to your psyche? That could be the case for those who have fancily-decorated blinds and drapes, like the ASCII curtains and 35mm film curtains.

Hopefully, that won’t be the case for the folks who have these Nosferatu curtains hanging on their windows, though.

Most people associate “nosferatu” with vampires, but did you know that it was derived from the Greek word “nosophoros,” which means “plague carrier”? People in the olden times associated vampires as being carriers of diseases, which explains why both are used interchangeably when referring to one or the other.

These hand-painted curtains incite fear and they’ll most likely scare off potential burglars from entering through windows that’s shadowed by this menacing figure. If you don’t want to go the Nosferatu route (which is most likely too creepy for many people’s tastes), then you can always get the stealthy Ninja curtain for the same deterrent effect and geeky vibe ala Ninja Assassin.

These curtains are handmade and are made from soft 100% polyester fabric, so they’ll flow every which way when a cool breeze blows by. They can also be used as shower curtains, as headboard decor behind your bed, and as wall art wherever you feel like it.

For example, this Superman curtain would be awesome for a kid’s bedroom (bathroom, or window, too), don’t you think? If these designs aren’t up your alley, then you could always go the DIY route (ala the 35mm film curtains) or get some custom window blinds made especially for you. Customization would be ideal if know what you want to end up with, but just don’t have the time to make it yourself or shop around for it.

These curtains are available online starting at $40.99(USD). Prefer to make your own? Then check out this do-it-yourself guide found here for some tips, tricks, and a comprehensive how-to.
