Can you say, “Frickin’ Sweet?” Nubrella is an umbrella that completely covers your upper half. The thing that makes it amazing is this: it has straps to make it hands-free! Amazing.

Nubrella is no ordinary umbrella, it stops rain, wind, snow and extreme cold - and keeps your head, face and shoulders drier than ever. It offers more protection, guaranteed!

Yet, nubrella went one step further and is changing the game forever. With nubrella’s new patent pending “shoulder straps” and “offset handle” you can now be completely hands free!

Here’s some innovation for you: a belt with no buckle.

The first Buckless Belt is a completely Icelandic product, from the skin to the hand-made vertical-feed boxes, in colours flesh, bone, ash and rust and in widths of 3, 4 and 5 centimetres.

Utilising a Unique Feed-Teeth method of fastening, and cut using a needle fine jet of water, this is Metal Detector Invisible.

Kind of weird, but pretty cool.

Apple Sudden Motion Sensor | William Computer Blog

If you’re lucky enough to be sporting a MacBook (regular, pro, air, etc.) laptop, then there are some fun application for you that take advantage of the sudden motion sensor in the computer.

(Note: The MacBooks have sudden motion sensors so that they can sense if the computer is falling or being moved quickly. With this awareness, the machine knows to lock the hard drive so that the data on it doesn’t get damaged by the fall.)

Nice how good innovation by Apple leads to other cool innovation by software developers.

500 XL

“Sometimes bigger IS really better, especially when it comes to sound. That’s why we took a puny pair of earbuds, put them in Fred’s highly technical Way Big machine, and created 500XL—it’s 500 times the size of the original!”

Bigger is always better. These are better.
