You can make it more matching or totally different – in some unique colors and prints that aren’t used in decor, so it will be your statement, such options are very popular now. You may rock one fabric for the seat and another for the back, or even try different fabric for the back, seat and armrests to make it all bold and outstanding. If you don’t feel like buying, go make some chairs like these ones and add a proper footrest with some mixed upholstery. Renovate a vintage chair with super modern fabric to make it look wow!

9. World’s tiniest fidget spinner



Researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory were experimenting with a new photon-based 3D-printing technique, and figured the best way to demonstrate their machine was to make the world’s smallest fidget spinner. Despite being just 1000 microns wide, as thin as a human hair strand, the crafting is so precise it actually does spin. Not that you can see it of course.

10. Licki brush



This product is basically a synthetic cat tongue for the perfectly normal human being that wants to brush their cat like their mother would. Just stick it in your mouth like a baby's pacifier and use the extended “tongue” to simulate grooming your confused feline. All the love, none of the cat fur in your mouth. Win-win.

7. Glow-in-the-dark plants



MIT researchers embedded specialized nanoparticles into the leaves of a watercress plant, make it naturally glow for four hours. After more research they believe they can tweak the method to have a plant always be glowing. Who needs a bedside lamp when you can read via plant?

8. Light Phone



Developed by Joe Hollier and Kaiwei Tang, the Light Phone is a credit card-sized “bare necessities” phone, designed to help you detox from your smartphone addiction. It has a SIM that links to the ne in your primary device, and you can turn on and off the call redirect function as needed. And with a simple LED display to show you only missed calls, received calls, and dialled numbers, you won’t be missing the scenery around you.

5. Amabrush



Called the “world’s first automatic toothbrush”, it’s a vibrating toothbrush capable of vigorously and efficiently cleaning your teeth in just 10 seconds with its automated system. By our estimates, even using the Amabrush twice a day instead of a regular toothbrush can cut the time spent brushing your teeth by a factor of three. That’s a lot of time saved for a relaxed morning chai or coffee.

6. Smart underwear to ease your back pain



A research team at the Vanderbilt University combined biomechanics with wearable technology to create a smart, mechanized undergarment that can alleviate your back pain. It’s basically two fabric sections (one for the chest and one for the legs) fastened together by tough straps. A double tap on the chest’s sensor tightens everything so you can lift a heavy weight without stressing your back, while double tapping again lets it behave like regular comfortable clothing once more. Most importantly, it’s also designed to be unobtrusive under your clothes.

3. Snapchat Spectacles



Though an ill-advised move to make, considering how the Google Glass fared in the public eye, Snapchat went ahead and released its “Spectacles”. Basically, they’re a pair of retro-styled sunglasses that can record up to 10 seconds of POV video using lenses that resemble the human eye's natural field of view. Needless to say, priced at $129 (Rs 8270) this product failed miserably.

4. Always-on PC



Thanks to innovation by Qualcomm, both Asus and HP announced new hybrid laptops in December. These are based not on the usual laptop processors we’ve come to expect, but instead on the currently leading smartphone processor, the Snapdragon 835. This way, instead of a laptop that struggles to say on past four or five hours, Qualcomm claims these new optimised devices can let you work for 20 to 25 hours on a single charge

2017 has been as crazy a year as it gets. We've seen the "land of the free" lose its freedom, we've seen AI become smart enough to replicate itself, not to mention all the fancy devices that have come in.

So here's our list of some of the craziest products, both useful and wtf, that we've seen this year.

1. Raspberry Pi Zero W



Another in the line of Raspberry Pi modular computers, the Pi Zero W basically a smartphone-sized motherboard with a 1GHz single-core processor, 512MB RAM, and ports for USB, Mini-HDMI, Micro-USB, as well as WiFi and bluetooth support. It’s all you’d need for any DIY internet of things project, and it justs costs $10 (Rs 640)

2. eSight 3



The eSight 3 is somewhat like an augmented reality headset; instead of placing virtual objects in your field of view, it instead helps you see the real things around you better. With a high speed HD camera and dual OLED displays embedded inside, the glasses process the video it gets to enhance quality and quality, in order to help users with vision issues. It’s also fully portably with roughly six hours of battery life.

The Dynamic House!
Today's trends in architecture point towards finding smart building solutions, that will make use of natural energy, consume as little power as possible, and at the same time - keep everything aesthetic, comfortable and beautiful. Once in a while, a great idea surges forth and amazes us all.
Usually, houses are built to be suitable to the local climate. So, for instance, a house built in the North of Scotland will usually be built to maintain internal heat, while a house built in Arizona will work to cool the interior.
And here comes D*Haus, the amazing dynamic house that can change its shape to suit the current weather!



This house is the brain child of British architects David Groenberg and Daniel Wolfson, who wanted to come up with a house that will be suitable for any weather, cold or warm. Their creation, D*Haus, can change its shape in 8 different combinations, that react to the changing seasons, meteorological changes and even astronomical changes.



Using special rails, the various parts of the house can change their location. One can set an automatic program that will slowly change the house according to the trajectory of the sun, thus enabling its residents to enjoy the sunlight all day long. Solar panels power this amazing creation. In addition, the house's thick outer walls can open up to interior walls and so glass becomes the outer wall, and lets the sunshine in. Doors can become windows and so release pent up heat.



The architects used a 100 year old mathematical idea by Henry Dudney. Now, 100 years later, his work has joined with their creativity to create this amazing dynamic house.

You can also activate your schedule for Shutdown/Restart from tray icon.

When your task is activated; you can see the status on the top of Free Auto Shutdown. Free Auto Shutdown works in the background as well; as a tray icon is show.

Have you ever found yourself waiting for your computer to finish a process so you could shut it down? Or do you find yourself leaving your computer on all the time, even though you know a healthy system needs to be restarted periodically? Auto Shutdown is a simple utility that allows users to schedule times for their computers to shut down or restart automatically. It's nothing fancy, but it's easy to use, and the scheduling is surprisingly customizable.

The program's interface is quite plain and intuitive, with a couple of tabs containing drop-down menus. Users simply select the action they want to the program to take--turn off, restart, or standby--and then choose when they want it to happen. The program has several options for scheduling; it can be set to take the selected action in a certain number of minutes, on a certain day (or days) of the week, or on a specific date. When choosing a day of the week or specific date, users can set the time down to the minute. Auto Shutdown also allows users to set keyboard shortcuts for shut down, restart, standby, hibernate, and log off. The program has no Help file, but it's pretty easy to figure out, and we have trouble imagining anything that a user might have a question about. Overall, although there's nothing about Auto Shutdown that particularly impressed us, we think it's a great option if you need a simple way to schedule your computer to shut down or restart.
