No one likes having to go into a hospital for major surgery. I doubt that was the main reason for coming up with this new, non-invasive procedure that allows doctors to remove your appendix sans pain. It may be a little uncomfortable, but it sure beats having your guts cut apart. The procedure works as follows: A miniature camera and ...

Some people assume that taking up a course in Tae Kwon Do will make you a kung fu ninja master overnight. This just couldn’t be further from the truth. It takes years and years of dedication to reach black belt status. But once you reach that point, there is little that can stop you from kicking an epic amount of ...

� When I was a kid I must have subconsciously wanted to become a businessman or something along those lines. At least I knew I wanted to use the phone a lot. I remember playing with my fake phone for hours, and then when I wasn’t playing with my fake phone, I’d be holding two fingers up to the side ...

Readers, listen carefully. MyHab is supposed to act as a fresh take on disaster housing and while it achieves that goal perfectly, it has many other uses you can take into account.

Well, you can always go check your hair in the mirror. Oh, wait! Ghost’s don’t have reflections! The Ghost Mirror uses some weird magic powers or trick of perspective (one or the ...

I just ordered a Domino’s Pizza actually and while the whole Pizza Tracker idea is cool and all, I don’t really like the eyesore of the cheesy (pun intended) graphics flooding my screen real estate. I like to keep things simple, like my pizza. No BaconMozzzerellaTacoLovers Pie for me! Just a plain or one-topping pie in an ordinary box will ...

The New York Museum of Modern Art (better known as MoMA) is showcasing some of Japan’s finest talent, beginning with Ryo Masaki. Though Masaki designed this beautiful hands-free umbrella back in 2005, it’s only recently become available exclusively from MoMA. Part of the ongoing Destination: Japan product offering, the umbrella features various heart patterns on the umbrella itself. Instead of ...

I’m pretty sure that next to this NES Coffee Table, the FridgeFork is the single greatest invention of the millennium. I’m convinced that everyone who owns a refrigerator (sorry, Beirut!) will feel the same after giving it a try, though I admittedly haven’t gotten to try it hands-on yet. Basically, it’s a utensil stored on the outside of the jar. ...
