The idea that a bin can make your life easier sounds silly, but only until you see Bruno in action. It is the world's first smart trash can that is also a vacuum cleaner. It is not just a storage room for collecting waste, but in connection with a smartphone it makes sure that you do not run out of garbage bags, warns you when the bin is full and makes sure that you never miss the collection of waste. In addition, it has a vacuum slot at the bottom, which vacuums everything you have swept into the bag. Have you heard of that dump? Get it on Kickstarter.
Internet Explorer is history. Well, at least as far as future Windows operating systems are concerned, since a successor has been announced for some time. It was presented as Spartan in the trial version of Windows 10, but now Microsoft has revealed the official name - Microsoft Edge. It will become the official web browser of the upcoming Windows 10 operating system.
Google usually told us how to do something. Now it will do it for you. Some time ago, Google refined its famous browser with two small but important additions. Type "find my phone" and Google will locate it on a map and offer to call it. If you type "send directions" it will direct you to it. Google has come a long way in its 16-year search history, but this is actually just the beginning.
Sony introduced the Touchless Shutter app for automatic camera activation. We trigger this by waving our hand in front of the viewfinder, i.e. the small window where we see what will be captured in the photo. As we know that taking photos in low light conditions can be a real nightmare, often resulting in blurry photos (even when using a tripod or a steady hand), this is a more than welcome addition.
Are you also afraid to wear white because potential stains are lurking everywhere? With the white women's shirt The Unstainable, women no longer have to be afraid of this, because it is no match for stains from coffee, salad dressings, wine, ice cream and ketchup. Because of the intelligent textile - it is coated with nanoparticles - it is practically impossible to get the silk shirt dirty. No wonder it's such a hit on Kicstarte, which probably means it's going to be a fashion hit soon.
Elon Musk, the father of the electric car brand Tesla, is not nicknamed the Steve Jobs of the automobile for nothing. He proved this once more when he introduced the Tesla Powerwall batteries, which have the ability to store solar energy. These would or will power homes, businesses, maybe even the entire world. By being able to store the energy of solar cells for later use, which until now has been the biggest obstacle in the use of renewable energy sources, they are changing not only the "producer" of electricity, but the very course of history.
The first trailer for the first-person shooter video game Call of Duty: Black Ops III, which continues the Black Ops series - it was first released under the auspices of the game developer Treyarch and Activision in 2010 - will not leave us indifferent. We hear Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones in the background, and a voice says: "Guns have no instinct, no loyalty, and no judgment." Soldiers have that. But what happens when a soldier becomes a weapon? How far can we push technology before it backfires?''
The unusualness of smartwatches makes us feel like we're Her Majesty's secret agents wearing a high-tech device from the Q department. So it only makes sense that the first game is made specifically for the spy-themed Apple Watch. Spy Watch is a game like you've never seen before, and it takes advantage of your notification system. Of course your story is tragic. You rise to the head of a spy agency after an unknown enemy kills the former head, your "father".
If you have a small apartment or do not want to camp in such very primitive conditions, the Drumi portable washing machine is the ideal solution. The company Yirego has not only prepared a compact washing machine, but one that does not need electricity for its operation. The drum is driven like a spinning wheel, by pressing the foot on the pedal. The height of only 56 centimeters can hold up to 10 liters of water, and it allows the user to wash six to seven items of clothing at once.
Given how well the crowd has responded to Google's Project Ara modular smartphone, it's no wonder others have taken the modular bait. And if it has been adopted by the masses, how do you bring such an expensive phone as close as possible to that mass? The answer is in the palm of your hand. Through a crowdfunding campaign. This is exactly what the Fonkraft modular mobile phone, aimed at the widest range of people, did, collecting funds on Indiegogo and literally racing towards the goal of 50 thousand US dollars.
If you want to reserve a table, if you need transport, if you would like to order a pizza,... all these wishes can be fulfilled by your smartphone. But what if you want to take revenge on someone, and not in the style of sending phallic candies that we wrote about a while ago, but you would like them to beat him up a bit. If you're in China, then you're in luck because there's an app called Didi Da Ren through which you can order a physical attack on the person you want.
Selfie stick, selfie bracelet, selfie camera. And when we thought we had seen everything with the selfie shoe, which was fortunately only an April Fool's joke, the most bizarre selfie accessory appears - the selfie arm. This one would probably only land normally in the hands of a member of the Adams family. Aric Snee and Justin Crowe created a selfie hand with which you can pretend you are taking a photo together with a friend. It is a sarcastic solution to a well-known problem - no one wants to appear alone in photos.
