The “Credit Card Embedded Authentication Device” is a concept creation by Innovative Card Technologies and eMue Technologies, and uses a screen and keypad for extra security (so you can spare your poor Elvis ginger-haired baby the trauma), not to mention a kick-ass new design for the credit card, though perhaps not as sleek as Jacob Palmborg’s future credit card design. ...

These guys really love their CDs. So much so, that they have made a wardrobe out of them. What looks to be CD armor, these guys have put together some gear out of recycled compact discs (might spark flames if you sit too fast on the CD chair). I strongly suggest not wearing this out in public unless you want ...

Who knows when the commies will start spying on us again. If he were still around, Joe McCarthy might recommend every man, woman, and child to own an Urban Combat Umbrella, an Umbrella with an attached target scope. While it’s by no stretch the first umbrella we’ve discussed, it might be the most useful. Sick of people barging into you ...

Surfing gear company Quicksilver has released some info about their design of a concept phone. While this phone probably isn’t supposed to be used while surfing, the Pacman-like two tone design is pretty cool indeed. Though that display looks pretty worrisome. Only half of the screen shows when the phone is closed, and if you shut the phone too hard ...

Looking for a slightly less masochistic way to take control of your wires than the One Man Tied hook? This Wall Cleat is an innovative design that allows for your loose, unplugged cables to be wrapped around two projected tabs that extend from the outlet. A simple gadget like Wall Cleats means you don’t have to buy an outlet, plus ...

If Evel Knievel had known about something like this Lifebag, who knows how many more brain cells he’d have left. Made for those into extreme sports (and possibly for those little bus riding helmet wearers I use to make fun of in school), the Lifebag is manually deployed, much like a parachute, producing a 150-liter shield in less than three ...

Designed by Dominic Wilcox as part of his New Work collection, these Anti-Theft Sticker Tattoos make your car look like they are already on the verge of rusting over. These tats use the same theory as these Fake Spill Seat Savers, by making a wanted commodity less appealing. Just place them at strategic points and the car is automatically less ...

Sanyo has announced their concept phone that runs off of a Sanyo Eneloop AA battery (which can be checked for power by the Dog Battery Checker). Dressed in a very Cupertino-esque shade of white, and branding a cylindrical design, this phone looks entirely awkward. The phone features no camera, no 3G support, no media, no SMS, and not even an ...

Cameras have come a long way in the last 5 years. It’s interesting to think of where we’ll be in another 5 years time. We might be seeing gadgets like this Canon Snap concept. Designed to fit around your finger, the high-quality camera would be perfect for taking those candid snapshots. Aesthetically, the Canon Snap looks just as sexy as ...

What looks like a mini disco ball, this Microphone Light Pendant from Etsy is a cool ambient light fixture for and music lovers living space. The mesh of the microphone produces an interesting light pattern and some serious mood setting glow. The pendant comes in 2 flavors: The Star, which has a white base and gold mesh, and The Classic, ...
