USB Email Notifier

Emails have their pros and cons – they certainly get the message across a whole lot faster, but when you’re somewhere at the top of your profession, expect a flurry of emails to arrive in your inbox on a daily basis, so much so that it will take at least an hour to sort everything out before you even get to work. Sometimes, we might even miss crucial emails that drop in, hence the need for a gadget like the USB Email Notifier. This device will light up each time an email arrives, and you will be able to choose from blue, red or green colors. It is compatible with a wide range of email clients including Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express as well as POP3-compatible email clients. Webmail services like Yahoo!, Google and Hotmail also work just fine with it. There is no word on pricing at this point of time.

Sharewear concept dress

Walking home alone after a late night out, only to find that the path leading up to your home isn’t properly lighted? Why, that wouldn’t be a problem at all with the Sharewear concept dress by designer Di Mainstone. Sure, it makes you look rather ridiculous but there is the added advantage of having the area around you lighted. Not recommended during those summer months since bugs would probably be attracted to you (those are the least of your worries – what about weirdos and other psychopaths?). The Sharewear actually consists of a couple of dresses that are slotted together at the hip section. Definitely not practical in any sense, but it is interesting nonetheless.
