Frito-Lay Japan has got THE snack for hungry gunslingers to nom on while trekking across the Waste Lands to the Dark Tower: Shrimp Mayonnaise Doritos! Sure the name’s kinda dull but they’re the closest thing to “Lobstrosity Doritos” you’re gonna get.
The
ease of access to medical information has increased our health IQs
greatly from pre-Internet days. But if doctors aren’t exasperated with
their know-it-all patients just yet, a
Silicon Valley startup called Scanadu is about to change the
practice of medicine altogether with smart gadgets that give you the
tools to test and analyze your own vitals and body fluids. And you
don’t need a prescription, or a fortune, to buy them!
Color blindness is an inability or decreased ability to see and/or perceive colors. It mostly affects males, which is easily explained by Genetics, and around 10% of males are somehow affected by it. While color blindness is not a disease or a life-threatening problem, it can sometimes play a major role in one’s life. Portuguese designer Miguel Neiva developed a truly revolutionary visual code to help these people surpass their deficiency and deal with colors in the most normal way as possible.

Radar and wi-fi have been a part of wearable technology for
dogs for some years now; you might even say that dogs have had a ‘paw

like prospects for the Voyce dog-wearable collar that monitors and
reports your dog’s health and fitness levels 24/7.
AdhereTech have released a patented pill bottle with an embedded sensor to detect when you’ve removed a pill, instead of simply monitoring if you have opened or closed the bottle, like GlowCaps. Their sensor hooked up to 3G means better adherence to medication, but more exciting than that – their pill bottles can integrate with other data tracking devices, like glucose monitors, so you can see how your medication is interacting with your body.
Many of us have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning, but that
may be more a reflection of our mental state than physical. For those
with conditions that physically limit their ability to get out
of bed without assistance, whether due to arthritic conditions, balance
issues, or injury, the new UpBed™ Ajustable Lift Bed can really make a big difference in their independence.
Freshness Burger’s limited edition Peanut Butter Burger picks up where Elvis Presley’s favorite sandwich left off. Unfortunately, the Japanese fast food chain left off the bananas and added onions, bacon, lettuce and (shudder) asparagus.
Lucid dream masks work by flashing a series of light patterns when you are in REM sleep. The Remee Mask, the Aurora Mask, the REM Dreamer as well as apps like DreamZ, or Lucid Dreaming, claim they can make you aware you are dreaming, and have some control over the events that occur. Can we regain hours of our lives, in our imaginative worlds where anything is possible? Can we fight dragons in our dreams?
