| Phone That Shames The Weather Bureau Posted: 18 Aug 2009 04:11 AM PDT I don't know about your city, but the weather bureau of my hometown is often sniggered at, for their in-accurate predictions. When they say it will rain (like they predicted a couple of days ago) you can be sure it will be bright and sunny. I would like to gift them this "Window Phone", that makes accurate predictions and even changes its display to reflect the climatic conditions outdoors. Maybe I should keep the phone for myself and bug the bureau with my updates. Designer: Seunghan Song        |
| Posted: 18 Aug 2009 01:00 AM PDT The family structure is undergoing a massive reconstruction, and the Smart Sun Solar Cooker addresses this need by being suitable for 1-2 persons. It features solar energy and induction heating, with the top cover of the cooker being laced highly-efficient solar cells that can harness solar energy even on a cloudy day. For induction heating, the stored solar energy is utilized and the food cooks in specialized pot (3 sizes) using steam as a medium. The smartness factor comes into play with the cooker hooking up to the net to a proposed "Samsung healthy & sustainable cooking network." Needless to say, via the site one can upload the cooking stats and determine nutritional value of the meal. A plausible design, till the net connection part; considering our hectic lives, I really wonder how many of us will have the time and inclination to actually determine the nutrition/health facts.

| Posted: 18 Aug 2009 12:43 AM PDT What's Hot: Eco-friendly tag, meaning Solar Power; Bluetooth, A2DP/AVRCP, latest NXT panel technology, two kinds of styles: one for desks and the other for mobile phones. What's Not: Concept, concept, concept! And I fancy the desk version more than the soft version. Designer: Tryi Yeh     |
| Posted: 18 Aug 2009 12:02 AM PDT Hooray! The tabbing of folders -and the entire organized world- has come nearly full circle! First they put tabs on folders, then they put tabs on desktops, then they put them on internet browsers, now they’re on the bathroom cabinet. Of course! The main function of this cabinet seems to be “keeping personal items that you might want to keep hidden from a partner of flatmate.” I don’t know about that, especially if you’ve got a roommate who’s ever used a folder or a computer before… or even opened basically any sort of drawer or door before… But this cabinet is cute and nice nonetheless. It’s made of oak, metal, and glass. Each portion is distinguishable from the other by color, just like your toothbrushes. Designer: Lewis Taylor     |
| Posted: 18 Aug 2009 12:01 AM PDT Just the other day I was thinking about how amazing it would be to be able to hold a camera with one hand and “shoot it” like a pistol. What a bunch of ease that would be - but it’d be impossible to do! It’d look just like a gun, right? And what sort of place wouldn’t suspect you of wrongdoing when you’re carrying what appears to be a firearm? Tuh-dah! Florent Cuchet’s got the solution: the sport-oriented “Trigger” camera. Super simple. Super kawaii. NOTE the title is a bit deceiving as this camera will inevitably be a digital camera, thus no “film” - but you being such intelligent folks, I’m sure you got the idea right away. What Cuchet’s done here is to take the traditional camera and par it down like one of those for-children cameras. What this camera is is super simplification. It has only a few options on a toothed click-wheel: “movie, classic snapshot, and moving snapshot.” With the “moving” option being the one that’s got the super-high shutter speed for those traveling a billion miles an hour on their skateboard. I’ll take the first tester if you want, Cuchet! Designer: Florent Cuchet     |

These shades can be used as a medium for illustration, communication or visual effect. Miranda is an adaptable wall mural measuring 3 square metres and composed of silicone wall base tiles with over 65,000 injection moulded polypropylene fibers sitting in tiny ball and socket joints on the surface of the wall. I used to do this with my parent’s carpeting. About time somebody made it into a product of high art. Designer: Giles Miller     |
| Monitors Your Health, Draws Blood Posted: 17 Aug 2009 11:30 AM PDT The < yu: > enables real time biometric feedback - the kind of information that could revolutionize medical diagnosis. It’s a soft bracelet mesh that checks your vital signs and even draws painless blood samples. It interfaces with you computer and acts as an alarm clock by applying pressure. With a flick of the rest, the device tightens and takes real time biometric readings to be transmitted to a computer and physician.

| Posted: 17 Aug 2009 11:18 AM PDT Everyone knows how to tie shoelaces but most don’t know how to properly adjust them. That uncomfortable shoe could just be a matter of tension. Technically you should readjust every 4-5th wear. Why even bother if there’s something better? The No Shoelace Shoe uses a single strap that wraps around the entire width of your foot’s arch. By simply tightening or loosening a velcro strap, you achieve the perfect fit. Designed for runners but this simple design could easily translate into any footwear.
