Future cellphones turn into slap bracelets of the past

As silly as the Helix seems and as unattractive as these are to me, I've gotta admit that it might actually work. The site has another picture that shows a stylish woman drinking her fast food coffee, wearing her huge sunglasses, and this is wrapped around her arm. Sure, I can see that.

Or this even:



It even sounds too good to be true with its magnetic charger that's built in as a portable charger. If you can bend it all over the place, surely it's durable enough to withstand people's drops and such, too, right?

Snowing billboards encourage people to go skiing

I don't know if this ski resort is using this ad scheme again this year (although I hope they are, especially considering how much they probably cost), but these are from last year.

They're not just snowing signs either. When weather conditions reach their optimum levels (wee, snow!), an SMS message is delivered to the billboards that tells them to start "snowing." This alerts passersby that they should "ditch work," as Gizmodo says, to go skiing instead.

Two sticks for a bowl of rice?

They've got a point...

Best way to get a husband

How do I tell if I have bad breath? The Kiss-o-meter!!

This is totally more convenient than carrying a small toothbrush/toothpaste with me, a bottle of mouthwash, or uh, some breath mints. And at $24, I'm sure that eventually, after a few years, it'd be even cheaper than carrying some of those are you, too. I think...maybe....

Nonetheless, it's kind of a cool idea and might be cute as a gag gift. Or as a wedding gift for the newly weds who haven't quite grown to except morning breath yet. Or hey, Valentine's Day is really right around the corner, so this might be a funny gift...or gentle nudge, heh.

(Oh, and as a side note, when I was reading the description:

Instead, breathe into the Kiss-o-Meter, a compact "bad breath detector" with heart-shaped indicators to let you know if you're pleasant enough for smooching. Five different outcomes are possible: Kiss me, Possible, Maybe, Risky, and Never. Imported. Wipe clean.

I skimmed across and read "imported" as one of the possible outcomes and all sorts of thoughts ran through my head....)
