BOLD Knot is a mobile battery for both iPhone and Android that will ensure that we have a smartphone charger at hand when we need it most. With the mobile battery, which is elegantly hidden in a beautifully designed knot, we will add three more hours of operation to our phone battery. With the BOLD Knot, we can go anywhere, and it works very well as a key ring and, believe it or not, also as a toy for cats.

It somehow seems logical for Tesla to offer home batteries, but it was a little less to be expected from Mercedes-Benz. Thus, Tesla's Powerwall home battery is now joined by a home battery from a car brand owned by the Daimler conglomerate. It will offer batteries with a three-pointed star on the "chest" as early as September 2015. These were also originally developed for Mercedes electric vehicles, but now households will also benefit from them for producing their own electricity from renewable energy sources.
National Geographic dedicated a recent episode of the mini-series American Genius to Bill Gates and the late Steve Jobs. Despite the fact that their "children", the brands Microsoft and Apple, do not have much in common at the level of company policy, this does not apply to their "father", who share many characteristics on a personal level. Both were visionaries, both had great ambitions, business acumen, a competitive spirit and a sharp mind. National Geographic therefore prepared a timeline between 1974 and 1999, comparing the ups and downs of the careers of two giants who changed the world forever.
We spend hours a day at computers, and while the things we look at and operate on have drastically improved over the years, the keyboard, an indispensable tool of computers, has persisted in its form for almost 100 years! Don't we deserve better? Keyboardio therefore reinvents the keyboard. Their butterfly-shaped Model 01 keyboard is thus not only ergonomically designed, but also fully customizable. You can pre-order it on Kickstarter.
The Slovenian SipSup glass is the first social glass in the world, as it connects to a smartphone and serves us memories in addition to a drink. Miha Petek, Anže Volovšek and Aleš Perme are behind the project of the interactive glass, and the glasses themselves are made in Steklarna Hrastnik and are not only technologically sophisticated, but also of high quality. The success of the Kickstarter campaign, where SipSup will raise startup funds for 42 days, seems imminent.
Most bike lights are content to illuminate the path ahead of the rider. But not the Ding bike light, which boasts two independent beams. The beam throws 400 lumens forward and 150 downwards. These illuminate the area occupied by the cyclist and create a kind of saintly glow around the bike. This increases the visibility of the cyclist inappropriately. You can pre-order it on Kickstarter.
Atelier TERATOMA presented the prototype of the Technopicnic backpack, which is inspired by the design of astronauts and is intended for picnics in an urban environment. The backpack system also includes bluetooth speakers and solar panels for very practical charging in the open air.
Coffee, this divine drink without which we really shouldn't imagine our day starting. The aroma and taste vary greatly from coffee to coffee, where the quality of the coffee beans itself plays a big role, as well as the quality of the device in which the coffee was prepared in the first place. We present 12 of the best modern coffee machines that offer pleasure to both our eyes and our taste buds due to their beautiful design and overall taste of coffee.
You probably don't feel guilty when you throw away your old or broken phone. But you should. The Better Re portable charger helps you go to sleep easier, as it re-energizes the phone's battery that is lying around in the drawer. Use it as a power source to charge your latest device. Somewhat surprisingly, most smartphone batteries that fall into our disfavor still have 80% efficiency, and with these 80% capacities, they should pretty much saturate the current battery.
Remember the part in the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies when Pierce Brosnan remotely controlled his BMW 7 from the back seat with an Ericsson phone? That was 18 years ago, so we've included a clip from the movie below to help you remember. Apparently, this impressed a young engineer so much that he made it his life's mission to work his way through hard work and dedication to a position where Bond's toy will be translated into reality. His dream came true at Land Rover.
YouTube is not resting on its laurels, as the competition is getting tougher (Facebook, Twitch, Netflix,...), so it announced the arrival of a new sub-site and an independent application, with which they want to keep the toys with them. For fans of computer games, they promise the arrival of the YouTube Gaming portal in the summer, which will provide better support for streaming video while playing games.
