Eto, nisam naišao na sličnu temu na našem forumu pa da otvorimo ovdje mjesto gdje svatko može linkati na nekizanimljiv geđet s kojim se susretne u bespućima Interneta. Ponekad se stvarno zna naći korisnih stvarčica proizašlih iz dosjetljivih mozgova (naravno ako netko od vas ima pokoji svoj patent slobdno neka se pohvali )
Btw. moja preporuka da se ne linkaju raznorazne seksualne igračke, oružja i slične opačine, keep the thread clean and simple
Za početak nekoliko handy gadgeta na koje sam naletio na

Guppie is one tool to rule them all


Citiraj:
We have reported on the Lil Guppie before, and I suppose that this is the next step up, the Guppie. Actually, I think that this Guppie is the same as the Lil Guppie, just like Lil Bow Wow is the same as Bow Wow. (Oh, why do those young rappers put Lil in front of their names? Don’t they know that they will grow out of the Lil?) This Guppie is one tool that I would have in my pocket, possibly the only one. The Guppie has an adjustable wrench with the crescent wrench adjuster worm gear. It also has a flip-out knife, and an LED flashlight, but I don’t see it in my picture. Did I mention the beer bottle opener? It’s got one, and I’m guessing its by its weird flip-up handle.
It also has a screwdriver with some magnetic heads, and the user can add his or her own.
All in all, the Guppie is the one tool to rule them all, like it says in my headline. By the way, there have been many a geek who has used that one (insert pronoun here) to rule them all headline. It probably isn’t worth it to use it again.
I’m not certain why it is called the Guppie. Is that because it is fish shaped, like a guppy? By the way, if you run a search on Guppie, one definition is “a gay yuppie”. Not something I would name a tool after, and I definitely wouldn’t have put “Lil” in front of it.



Cleankeys keyboard is easy to clean


Citiraj:
Seeing these Cleankeys keyboard reminds me of the Atari 400. Some of you may not remember this slightly cheaper version of the Atari 800 home computer that used a TV as a monitor, but the keyboard did not have the individual keys like the ones on most of our PCs and laptops of today. The problem with the 400 is that they had a way of not relaying input when then were touched lightly. Hopefully, the people who made the Cleankeys have solved this problem, but I think that their goal was to make a computer keyboard that would be easily cleanable.
All you need to do is just wipe it down like you would a window. Not only is this a computer for all germphobics, but for most offices where computer keyboards are shared amongst employees.
The cleankeys have a numeric keypad, and what looks like a circular touchpad in its lower right hand corner. Now, an easily cleanable keyboard is the good news. The bad news is the price tag. It costs about $400.
Yeah, I don’t know about you, but I’m willing to take a risk with germs rather than pay that price for a keyboard, which is about four times more than a regular keyboard. Maybe if it was wireless, I would pay a little more, but that is usually it.



Black Box cleans hands and feet in seconds


Citiraj:
I’m going to tell you something that I’m not exactly ashamed of, but I’m not proud of it. You see, I hate washing my hands. Maybe it’s because I’m on the go constantly, and barely have time to use the restroom. However, if I had one of these black boxes (not to be confused with the ones used on airplanes), then hand sanitation would be a snap.
This box uses plasma gas, the same type of plasma clearning that is used to sterilize medical instruments. This box allows the user to sanitize one’s hands in just four seconds.



Beer Chiller gives cold beer in 90 seconds


Citiraj:
It’s Friday yet again and for those that are still stuck at work, you’re probably dreaming of when you finally get to go home. If in that daydream there’s a nice cold beer waiting for you, you’ll like this contraption. Instead of jamming your beer in the freezer and risking leaving it in too long, you can have a device that safely makes it cold in no time at all.



The Missisipi Distiller


Citiraj:
This looks like some sort of strange mad scientist design of a contraption which concocts a weird potion after putting in all sorts of exotic ingredients. Actually, it is known as the Missisipi Distiller that attempts to capture the original spirit (pun not intended) of the American south distilling heritage.
Designed in Barcelona, Spain, this finely crafted home distiller illustrates the nuances of English that are often lost in translation. The still’s copper frame is engraved with Missisipi Destil Co.–an honest, if poorly translated, attempt to pay homage to the distilling heritage of the American south. Destined to elicit questions from guests and encourage conversation, the distiller is reminiscent of those used to make brandy or extract essential oils from plants for use in perfumes. The alcohol burner, cucurbit, condensing pot, and collection cup are made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass–the same glass used in laboratory beakers. The distiller is mounted on a walnut base and its frame is made from five copper plates secured in place with copper rivets.
How much does it cost to bring this piece of memorabilia home? $199.95.


Eto, slobodno linkajte pokoju korisnu napravu, njenu cijenu i gdje se može nabaviti. Živili
