The Power Tap isn’t something you need, but if you’re up for having a charger that’s actually fun, then you might want to look into it. As the name implies, the wall charger comes in the shape of a tap. However, instead of dispensing drinks and other liquids, it “dispenses” power.
Just twist it open to turn it on and charge your gadgets or shut the power off by turning it the other way. The tap itself will glow red or blue to let you know when your device is or isn’t charging, respectively.
The Power Tap is compatible with all devices that charge via a USB port, though since it’s made in the UK, it appears to be designed for European outlets only. It’s available from Amazon for $28(USD).

Do you happen to have a narcissistic streak in you? Assuming you have answered that question in the affirmative, then you might be interested to check out this particular imaging technique that turns your walls into mirrors. Yes sir, this “optical power” is achieved through the clever implementation of scientific principles as well as experiments in a laboratory instead of just wishful thinking. A study that was recently published mentioned, “Looking around corners and through thin turbid layers in real time with scattered incoherent light” has attracted its fair share of attention, where a spatial light modulator will be able to undo the scattering which makes objects opaque or non-reflecting.
