Inventions for the sake of inventions… puzzled how stuff like this makes it to market. Conmoto has made a portable fireplace labeled the travelmate. The unit weights 55 pounds (not so portable) and burns bio-ethanol (no smoke). I really can’t think of many uses for this type of thing. Any…
Palringo is the first official multi-client IM (instant messenger) application for the iPhone. The program supports Google Talk/Jabber, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo, ICQ, iChat, and Gadu-Gadu. I just got done installing it… it takes a a bit to figure it out… but seems to work well once you get the…

Instead of Adamantium, the replica claws are made from solid machined aluminum and include the stainless steel palm attachments which enabled the actors to wear the claws…
If you have never heard of Atmos clocks I wouldn’t be surprised… they are amazing… but expensive (cheapest one is about $5000). The clock pictured above is an 80th anniversary unit. The Atmos clocks run, in theory, forever with no batteries, solar bits, or electricity…. they are powered by temperature…
I almost thought this was a good idea… almost. Then I realized I can just put my hand into the stream of water… and shebang I can sense the temperature with my hand. No batteries, no basketball sized showerhead, no lights illuminating my nudity. If you think this is a…
Jim McDowell, the Mini USA VP, said that the US will be getting the Mini in an electric version in Summer 2009. Very cool!
