Good Ockie…(backing away slowly). We all love a bit of individualism and the freedom to express ourselves, whether that be through art, fashion, literature or a variety of other mediums.

The second installment of the Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld ad series aired tonight in the US and, I must say, is a huge improvement over the first one we saw last week. It’s still a little confusing, but this time ’round has a message, mentions the product and is hilarious. The duo are more […]

We all love a bit of good ol’ German efficiency and thanks to the clever chaps at Treventus Mechatronics; we can scan not just entire books, but entire libraries with ease. Their ScanRobot gracefully automates the scanning process and works at rapid speed. It scans two pages per pass, performs its own page turns and […]

Designer Holly Gates has developed a simple, yet ingenious e-paper reader that balances power draw and power generation so well that it doesn’t even have a charging socket. Think of it as a high-tech version of the ubiquitous solar-powered calculator that just works whenever it’s needed.
