We are used to the fact that billiard tables are rectangular in shape, they are distinguished only by size, among which the snooker table is the largest. But regardless of the size of the table, its width is always equal to half the length. Well, mathematician Alex Bellos took a different approach and created the Loop pool table, a variation of the ellipse pool table with only one hole and only three balls. Why would anyone do such a thing? It's actually a brilliant idea, and you can try your hand at elliptical pool billiards online.
While everyone is trying to cater to general, business and creative users with tablets, Acer, the giant of the computer industry, has created a toy tablet. Acer's toys from the Predator series, the Predator 8, will be difficult to open, as it is a real "animal" among tablet computers, with hardware that will not leave fans of gaming indifferent. The toy DNA also comes out in its appearance, as it is adorned with an aggressive look that we are not used to in tablet computers, which are famous for their elegance.
The technological giant Google is penetrating every pore of computing and their latest "victim" is wireless routers. Recently, Google (or is it now Alphabet?) introduced an advanced wireless router for idiots, OnHub, equipped with 13 antennas of 2.4 GHz frequency (12 of which transmit the signal and one receives) and a data transfer speed of up to 1900 MB per second. Aesthetically perfect, it is intended for more demanding environments.
British technology company Intelligent Energy has created the world's first hydrogen battery. The battery in the smartphone should last for a week without charging. The price of the battery remains up in the air for now.
You've probably all heard of pyrography. If you haven't heard it, you've certainly seen it in practice. Namely, it is wood (can also be leather or cork) decorated with burnt patterns, which today are mostly created with the help of a device similar to a soldering iron (with a hard tip or a tip made of wire). Febo, on the other hand, returns to nature and instead of electricity (which heats the tip of the tool) uses a magnifying glass and the sun's rays, which make it possible to draw with the sun.
While the BlackBerry brand is slowly but steadily sinking like Venice, it is trying to save itself with the BlackBerry Venice smartphone, which is the first BlackBerry that does not have its own operating system but Google's Android OS, and the special feature is a sinking case that hides the physical keyboard. Is classic looks and Android the combination that will save this sinking Canadian company?
Smart rings are nothing new. It was only a matter of time before the adjective 'smart' would be applied to jewelry, but the Talon smart ring, which is made especially for toys, is a pleasant surprise. This one, like the other smart rings, does not come from a jewelry company, but from the technology company Titanium Falcon. The ring will be able to be used as a controller for computer games, which will further improve the user experience.
Even though Aerius is the smallest drone in the world, that doesn't mean it doesn't have (almost) everything the big ones have. Admittedly, it can't carry action cameras like GoPro's, as it measures all of 3x3x2 centimeters (yes, we weren't kidding about the tip of the finger), but it has impressive specs. In terms of technical and mechanical aspects, it is a completely up-to-date competitor to drones, which are hundreds of times larger. It allows different control modes, has a 6-axis gyroscopic control system, LED lights for night control, four propellers,…
After the first Slovenian board game, which was successfully financed through a financial campaign on Kickstarter last year, the social game Less from the company Invented4 is also following in Tracker's footsteps, starting its march towards the set financial goal on August 26, 2015. Less is brilliant in its simplicity and new proof that a great game doesn't need complexity of use. It's like the Harry Potter books of board strategy games, something that will draw you in with its simple brilliance.
The Boom Swimmer is a waterproof Bluetooth speaker that resembles a sperm. But don't let the suggestive shape fool you.

Remember when we used to fly a kite as kids? Those were the days when Apple and Blackberry were just fruit. Today, children fly drones instead of kites, and instead of apples and currants, they hold smart devices in their hands. But if you have trouble maneuvering the drone via your phone, consider the Fotokite Phi, which requires no sense of coordination to operate. It is a drone on a smart leash, which you let down like a kite and follows you like a helium-filled balloon. You can pre-order it on Indiegogo.
iScream is a Slovenian ice cream machine that did extremely well on Kickstarter. In two days, he collected one hundred thousand dollars. And what makes iScream so special? The homemade ice cream machine works by leaving its freezing unit in the freezer overnight, and the next day it is put into the machine, the ingredients are added to it, and the machine mixes and cools them. The device, which is capable of preparing two different flavors of ice cream at once, is also very elaborate in design.
