Hindsight is 20/20. Had we known to follow Yuri Milner’s lead back in
2009 when he and his company Digital Sky Technologies (DST) invested
$200 million in what was a small busines
at the time called, Facebook, for a 1.95% stake — we may all have been
a lot wealthier today. That early bet made this previously-unknown
Russian investor, a billionaire.
We have looked at some of the technology available in kitchen renovations today. But where will this technology take us in the future? Take a look at some of the amazing kitchen innovations in the works.
Power Pops, one of the latest weight loss fads, are flavored lollipops
that are supposed to quell one’s appetite and, particularly, the
yearning for other carbs. Power Pops contain natural ingredients, like
hoodia, that are known to reduce hunger and increase energy, but are
they present in enough quantities to make a difference? Or is the
suggestion that the Pops are effective enough to make them so?
I bet you could win the Tour de France with this bike, but it probably
would not be legal – at least not yet. German bicycle enthusiast,
Martin Kraiss, always felt there was something missing from his favorite
sport – upper body involvement. After years in development, Kraiss has
invented an 11-speed bicycle for his legs and arms to pedal.
It’s the Varibike, and with all the upper body action it adds to the
sport of biking, it’s sure to attract many new biking enthusiasts.

Remember that ole Amy Winehouse refrain: "they tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no!"? While
there’s drug detox centers for those addicted to drugs, do centers for Internet addiction exist? The answer is yes, and they’ve been
around for a while. In my 2009 post, "Internet Rehab For NetAddicts" post, I researched one such center located in SE Fall City, Washington
that followed the same principles as drug rehab centers.
Whether you’re training your dog to jump hoops or just trying to get him
to stay away from the door when the doorbell rings, you’ll appreciate
having the help of the ingenious Manners Minder Treat & Train Remote Reward Dispenser for your dog. It works so well you may decide your old dog does need to learn some new tricks.
Last week. New Zealand passed a law that prohibits patents on computer software. This will, it hopes, foster innovation and competition (and kill the efforts of a whole gallery of patent trolls). Seems to me that we can learn a thing or two from this move.
While still unlikely to be too popular in the face of the ever-growing smartphone juggernaut, the Nokia 515 brings premium build quality and a few new software features to the dumbphone bracket. No Android, though.
While Google hopes to launch Google Glass by Christmas,
there’s a lot of speculation as to its acceptance in the business
world. Surely with an anticipated price tag of slightly under $1500, at
first glance (pun intended), one would think only larger brands would be
able to afford this innovative new device.
