Fed up of frantically thumbing through cook books while your goulash explodes? Or coating your keyboard in baked beans and bolognese while help on Google loads? Fear not! Instead we’ve moved the help to the place you’re supposed to wipe your dirty hands!

Apron full of useful information. Guide includes: numeric conversions, cooking times for vegetables, roasting times for birds, freezing instructions, defrosting times, a cooking glossary and more!

Includes 4 modes of play; speaker for listening to music and recorded input; microphone to record your own voice into EQ; and SFX that are controlled by EQ’s headphones to customize your music and voice recordings. EQ contains over 100 Seconds of voiced interactions and over 80 light animations for hours of chatterbox fun.

Use it to work your way through a crowd—or just to amaze young ones. Ingenious printing on the hoodie’s sleeves create the upper and lower jaws of a fearsome creature, allowing you to chomp, chomp, chomp by moving your arms. Choose great white shark or vicious raptor. Lightweight recycled polyester. Imported. Adult sizes M-XXL; kids sizes 2T, 4T, 6, 8, 10, 12, teen.

But other than that, the phone’s been very snippy and super-fast in response. The design and layout is also very refreshing, very much drifted away from the typical icon styles of Apple’s iOS and Google’s Andoird. More like Microsoft’s Windows Start Menu style cascaded in 2D but with great 3D effects at times. Watch the video below to have a good idea of how it turns out.

Cause someone has gone and makes your tweets into a cookie! (yeah, that’s a lame excuse) I guess that’s expected. When millions of users access a particular thing, that thing’s gonna go crazily famous, and one odd user will do something like this, especially when that user is too free and only stays in the kitchen.

The Slate will be running on Windows 7 Premium, and it’s certified by Energy Star. What’s unknown right now is whether its display is capacitive touch or not, and how does the battery life score.

Using a built-in LCD screen, this faucet is able to tells you your exact water usage stats every time you wash your hands, wash your feet, or wash whatever you are washing. If you want even more detail, it sends its data to your computer so you can review past usage and usage over time. Perhaps creating a slideshow of the graphs from the data that you collected, and present it to your mum. Just don’t get electrocuted by the USB ports when you’re taking a bath.

The Zephyr drone from QinetiQ will be running around again, with a new record that it hopes to blow away. 7 days in the air, and counting! The craft, which took off from the Army’s Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona last Friday, is being billed as an “eternal aircraft,” one that can stay in the air for extremely lengthy periods of time for use as recon and communications platforms. The earlier world record for a UAV was set by NASA’s Global Hawk, which stayed aloft for 30 hours and 24 minutes.

In his opinion, Britain’s long-distance high-speed railway transport has been long overdue, and very much outdated. He planned to introduce the Mercury as a key to achieving sustainable, low-carbon transportation and invigorating British industry. The best example of badass engineering and total luxury?

The 400 meter long double-decker—if pursued, it would be the country’s first—travels at 225 mph, thanks to an extended nose that’s “one of the most extreme in the world.” It houses traditional commuter seats outfitted with entertainment systems, as well as private compartments, and there’s a play area for kids as well as a bar and lounge for bigger kids. 

But no matter how I see it, this seemed to be a long-haul high-speed train, with luxury entertainment onboard. But I just can’t imagine this as a daily commuting train. Perhaps I’m too used to sardine-style commuting that is always 5-minutes or even 10-minutes late. Would be a great option though, if it’s a long-haul bullet train.

This is the idea of the Dutch, where they plan to turn the waste-filled island into a tropical destination. Unique by itself because it smells like your waste. The Recycled Island will be turned into a habitable, self-sustaining island.
Recycled Island would be about the size of Hawaii’s biggest island and would be located in between Hawaii and San Francisco. The lofty project’s main goals are to recycle the plastic floating in the ocean, establish a stable and seaworthy island and make the island self-sufficient with its own sustainable foods and energy sources. So we’re talking houses made from plastic, fertilizable soil made from seaweed and human manure, and electricity coming from solar, wave, and wind power.

The concept is still rather ‘bizarre’, and very far-fetched I might add. It would already be very hard to build a self-sustaining island out of all the rubbish of this world. What’s more, you’re going to build buildings on this unstable island, using recycled materials. A very welcomed idea indeed, but I won’t put high hopes on this.

The main characteristics of the island are summarized:

1. Realized from the plastic waste in our Oceans. This will clean our Oceans intensely and it will change the character of the plastic waste from garbage to building material. The gathering of the plastic waste will become a lot more attractive.

2. The island is habitable, where it will have its value as land capturing and is a potential habitat for a part of the rising amount of climate refugees.

3. The habitable area is designed as an urban setting. Nowadays already half of the World population lives in urban conditions, which has a huge impact on nature. The realization of mixed-use environments is our hope for the future.

4. The island is constructed as a green living environment, from the point of view of a natural habitat. The use of compost toilets in creating fertile ground is an example in this.

5. It is a self sufficient habitat, which is not (or hardly) depending from other countries and finds its own resources to survive. The settlement has its own energy and food sources.

6. The island is ecologic and not polluting or affecting the world negatively. Natural and non polluting sources are used to let the island exist in harmony with nature.

7. The size of the floating city is considerable in relation to the huge amount of plastic waste in the Ocean. The largest concentration of plastic has a footprint the size of France and Spain together. Starting point is to create an island with the coverage of 10.000Km2. This is about the size of the island Hawaii.

8. The location is the North Pacific Gyre, where at this moment the biggest concentration of plastic waste is discovered. This is geographically a beautiful spot North-East to Hawaii. By recycling and constructing directly on the spot with the biggest concentration of plastic waste, long transports are avoided. Because of the floating character the position could eventually be altered.
