The next time it’s your turn to host movie night with your friends, surprise and confound them with this 4-in-1 hot dog maker from Spilsbury. You can set it up on your kitchen counter, plug it into an outlet, and put all those bags of microwave popcorn you’ve been served to shame. Why? Because not only can the 4-in-1 appliance make popcorn, it can also make hot dogs, steam whatever you think should be steamed for optimal movie enjoyment, and boil eggs (I told you you’d be able to confound your pals). The contraption also has two warming spikes that seem designed for hot dog buns but that I’d rather use for mini loaf cakes. I mean, if you’re serving boiled eggs, you may as well serve chocolate loaves too. (Read the full post about ‘4-in-1 hot dog maker’…)

Even in the digital era, photos are much better when they are printed on paper. They feel somehow… material when they are printed, after a century of usual film cameras we are accustomed to a printed image. That’s why many owners of digital cameras prefer to print their best photos. If you remember the days of mid 90s, then you will remember the boom of instant film cameras that produced an already printed image. The main company behind that cameras was Polaroid. Now, film cameras look archaically, surrendering their position to digital ones. But Polaroid does not surrender - it comes with a similar idea, but adapted to the modern market. Polaroid Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer is a next step in an instant photo market. (Read the full post about ‘Print your Photos On the Go with Mobile Photo Printer’…)

Posted Feb 17th 2008 6:05AM by Darren MurphFiled under: Robots Nonhuman chefs are far from extraordinary, but the latest culinary guru crafted in Japan has a taste for the extreme. Reportedly, the EZ Order Robot was spotted in Osaka whipping up octopus balls (of all things), but apparently, the creature was able to concoct the dish totally from scratch. Interestingly, the demonstration wasn’t really established to showcase its kitchen prowess, but rather to highlight other capabilities such as speech recognition and the ability to perform routine tasks without human intervention.

Ever wanted a phone powered by water? Well both Angstrom Power and Motorola have developed hydrogen-powered cell phones. The phones work with a Hydrogen fuel cell that extracts hydrogen from water and then extracts electrons from the hydrogen. Sounds pretty cool, hopefully these water phones make it to the store shelves eventually.

Posted Feb 17th 2008 1:50AM by Darren MurphFiled under: cellphones We know, Valentine’s Day 2008 has come and gone, but if you’ve managed to hold on to your SO through the Hallmark-inspired holiday, chances are you won’t need these services anyway. For those waking up solo, however, you should probably listen up. South Korea’s KTF has launched a seductive new service — rightfully dubbed Love Detector — for its subscribers which will actually “analyze voice patterns to see if a lover is speaking honestly and with affection.” In an interesting twist, the data is actually only shown to the customer who coughs up ₩1,500 ($1.58) per month (or less per call), so don’t expect to secretively find out if your lover has another lover waiting next door via voice analysis.

On Friday, the IOC - International Olympics Committee, gave their official approval for athletes to be able to blog at this year’s summer Olympics in Beijing. However, these athletics cannot publish any media of the event or any material that is Olympic property. The IOC thinks of blogging as a way to expression, which is not like journalism, therefore they don’t have a real reason to ban blogging. Also, any blog postings by these athletes have to be in the Olympic spirit and be “dignified and in good taste.” I’m not sure how they will find out if someone posts something not in good taste, and then how they would punish them.
