Finally a phone that has it all.

Finally a PDA that comes with a built-in coffee maker and shaver. You can even talk and shave at the same time. Oh, and don't forget the built-in Harmonica. Please meet the Pomegranate NSO8. Quite amusing.

Copenhagen Harbour Bath

Copenhagen’s harbour is in the midst of a transformation from an industrial port and traffic junction to being the cultural and social centre of the city. The superdesigny Harbour Bath has been instrumental in this evolution. The Harbour Bath offers an urban harbour landscape with dry-docks, piers, boat ramps, cliffs, playgrounds and pontoons. As a terraced landscape, the Harbour Bath completes the transition from land to water, making it possible for the citizens of Copenhagen to go for a swim in the middle of the city. Go Denmark!

Act Fire Extinguisher

The Act Fire Extinguisher connects to a wireless fire alarm system and alerts with sound and light when the alarm is triggered. The form is modern and elegant and would in a discreet way fit in almost any homes. Design and idea by Sigrun Vik, a master student at Oslo School of Architecture and Design. Only a concept at this point but I hope this will go into production!

Little Snitch

Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an outgoing Internet connection. You can then choose to allow or deny this connection, or define a rule how to handle similar, future connection attempts. This reliably prevents private data from being sent out without your knowledge. Little Snitch runs inconspicuously in the background and it can also detect network related activity of viruses, trojans and other malware.
