On a recent evening in San Francisco, a couple dozen well-dressed and hiply bespectacled young people leaned over glass cones and inhaled. The purpose? Time travel.
London was the place to be this past New Year’s Eve. While you had your ball in New York City and your party in Sydney, London was home to the world’s first multi-sensory fireworks display. You could literally taste the celebration.
Sometimes your stuff gets smelly. Whether it’s because you’re smelly or just a victim of some wayward stench, it sucks, and it’s a problem worth fixing. You, dear Giz readers, responded to my desperate call for solutions

Sooner or later, clothes will be washed and time will fix the rest of the problem spots (I’m looking at you, pillow), but until then I need a short-term solution; what’s the best air freshener you got?
Smell-O-Vision on your smartphone: Scentee sends smells instead of texts (video)
Posted in: Today's ChiliThe dubious ability to send odors to your pals just became a distinct possibility thanks to the Scentee app and hardware from a company called ChatPerf. Seen in Japan, it works by letting you load a liquid refill into the device, which is then mixed and dispersed into the air at the command of an included app. The company noted a few of the myriad possible uses, like sending a smell to a friend who also has the device, perking up a yoga session, helping you wake up or making a shoot ’em up video game more lively with the odor of, say, gunpowder. It’s still a prototype, but the company hopes to bring it to market with a variety of different odors, and launch it for iPhone or Android devices. Meanwhile, you can sniff it out in the video after the break.
