While we expect modern technological devices to handle a thousand and one things and have many hidden functions, we do not expect the same from the completely everyday objects we use. Well, unless James Bond uses them. But even for mere mortals, there are products that serve more than just their original function. Did you know there is a hair clip that doubles as a bottle opener, file and screwdriver? We still have a bunch of similar ones in stock. Check.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
Slovenia is a paradise for hikers and cyclists. Its picturesqueness offers something for everyone and, despite its small size, it is criss-crossed with thousands of trails that highlight its beauty. You know many of them, but despite your belief to the contrary, many of them you don't. But this can quickly change with the new free mobile application Hiking and Biking in Slovenia by Slovenian programmers, which is the result of cooperation between the economic interest association GIZ Hiking & Cycling and the Slovenian Tourist Board.
When the word addiction comes to mind, we first think of drugs, alcohol, and food. Well, at least it was like that until a few years ago. In recent years, however, dependence on information technology, i.e. computers, mobile or smart phones, and the Internet, has increasingly come to the fore. The excessive use of the Internet may be the most pressing problem, but addiction to technology has many faces, and Ajit Johnson embodied them in brutally honest digital illustrations that show what kind of slaves we have become to modern technology.
When was the last time you looked at the moon? Into this shiny body on which our mind rests and which always fascinates and stirs the imagination? After a long day, sometimes we just want to look at the sky and drift away with our thoughts, but the Moon and stars are hidden behind tall buildings, clouds, or our view is "obscured" by light pollution. But now, thanks to Acorn Studio, you can have Luna all to yourself. What Pippi and Melkijad, the little and the big pig, always wanted, but couldn't do, you can do by buying the Luna ambient light on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo.
Just when we thought Nutella had been used in all possible ways, the internet surprises us with something new. Pizza and Nutella are not something you would use in the same sentence, but Nutella knows no boundaries and now we will find them in the same recipe. Instead of bread, you will now be able to spread it on pizza dough. Of course, you will not add the usual fillings such as salami, cheese, tomatoes, etc. but more compatible ingredients. The recipe is really easy, and it will only take you a quarter of an hour to prepare!
Alternative movie endings always spark the imagination. Didn't like the original? Many directors shoot several different endings, and often the production company ends up choosing the one they think will resonate best with the audience. Many alternate endings are thus released on DVD, but the fact is that very few reach us. Here are five alternate endings to movies you all know well, with different endings. Which one do you like better? Original or alternative?
From Italy comes a video of a dog humbly begging his owner for forgiveness and it will melt your heart. Then, when Ettoro the dog was scolded for not knowing traparia, he reacted like a small child. He was terribly ashamed of his mistake and, despite the intransigence of the owner, insisted that he be forgiven.
It's probably a bit unfair when we're still surprised by how much Emma Watson has grown up. It's been four years since the last Harry Potter, and since then she's taken on some very bold roles, from the one in Noah to a mini-role in The End is Here. Next on the list is for the movie Colonia. She did not play the lead singer of the Croatian band of the same name, Indira Vladić, but the German woman Lena, who is on the hunt for her boyfriend (Daniel Brühl), who was kidnapped by Pinochet's regime, or rather his military secret service DINA.
Berlin has a very special charm and you don't have to go to the capital of Germany to get it. Its pulse can now be felt in the Citypark shopping center in Ljubljana, where the fashion store Liebeskind Berlin was recently opened, a store with unique, practical and simple handbags and fashion accessories that are from head to toe "Berlin women and men of Berlin" and as such imbued with creativity, casualness and attractiveness. Berlin in other words.
Although James Bond has already driven a Jaguar in the movies (the XKR in Die Another Time), he will be seen once more in an Aston Martin (DB10) in Spectre. But serious competition for the most beautiful and best car will be offered by the Jaguar C-X75 concept, which was first presented in 2010 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and five years later it returned to the scene of the crime in the company of Naomie Harris (Moneypenny) and David Bautista. In the latest Bondiad, it will be driven by the latter, who plays one of the main villains.
God Chad Kroeger and the Nickelbacks. First they make fun of his looks and their music, recently Avril Lavigne left the singer, whom he married in 2013, and now they will possibly become an app phenomenon, as the Nickelblock app appeared, which with their songs discourages you from would stalk your ex online.
QWERTZ is an arrangement of keys on the keyboard, which has been considered a standard in the world for 140 years. But this type of layout was designed and optimized for typewriters. And while everything around it was changing drastically (screens, computers, phones), the keyboard stuck to its arrangement like a drunkard. At Swiss icoaching, they were convinced that there was a better solution, a keyboard that would answer the challenges of the time, that is, above all, easier typing on the touch screen on smartphones. They wanted to make a keyboard for fast, error-free typing. And Wrio was born, an on-screen keyboard with a honeycomb letter layout.
