Tired of rinsing and drying your bras? Do they get out of form thanks to frequent washing? Are you spending money to buy bras that are easily disfigured? Women, don’t bother as Bra Dryer is here to save the day. No more warping the lining wire, beating it out of shape, or end up getting the lining tattered and ripped apart. Alexander Farennikov released the first version of the Boob-shaped bra dryer in 2009; however, it was laid to rest in the concept stage itself. But the creator took care of its drawbacks and the 2.0 version has now been formally launched into the market. The drier is entirely shaped like a brassiere that resembles partly to an armor breast plate. It’s as easy as putting your bra atop the drier and the perforations in its honeycomb coating in the latter makes the moisture evaporate quicker than you can imagine. Yes, the shape does not get hampered too. Say goodbye to your washing machine drier or leaving them in cloth’s rack because your bras deserve better treatment now! The new version has an appealing appearance that has not only lower production cost but also availability over a vast array of size and shape. Available in A to H sizes, the machine can cost you around $150 to $200. Since considering a good quality bra can cost you around $100, it does not really burn a hole in the purse. Some might argue that heat degrades the linen and elastic. But then, what do you think driers employ? 90 percent of women are sure to tell you that they end up with wonky cups after few days wash and blow dry. The device makes sure you don’t have to untangle the machine washed undergarment again. The future might hold driers specialized for particular garment. Pants dryer, shirt drier, shorts dryer, briefs dryer, sock dryer thong dryer-everything might just be customized for our needs. The honeycomb shaped device can look like a modern art sitting at the centre of your room. No need to feel embarrassed by its form. So, what are you waiting for? If you aren’t pound foolish then this is the product that should be a part of your home

If you have ever bent backwards and tried hard to type smoothly on your touchscreen devices, then here is something really interesting to transmogrify your entire experience for better. Some creative folks over at Whirlscape have now designed an innovative touchscreen keyboard app entitled Minuum – which basically helps fat-fingered users type on a touchscreen with utmost ease and convenience. Designed to be highly intuitive and effortless, the touchscreen text-entry software enables users to seamlessly type their texts or documents with peerless accuracy while at the same time shriveling their keyboard. The integrated ‘complex’ algorithm in Minuum not only allows for enhanced precision, but also trims down all the letters of the alphabet down to one line. Featuring a neat, responsive interface, the keyboard app also functions effectively to eliminate visual clutter by condensing the letters even on the smallest of devices. So, while you type on your mobile device or touchscreen tablet, Minuum increases your typing accuracy and shrinks the usual three column layout of QWERTY keyboards down to a tidier structure towards the bottom of the display. What’s more, the flexible Minuum also enables users to move the touchscreen keyboard around the screen. Hence, the flexible screen allows people to see only that part of the screen they are working on. The keyboard, which focuses primarily on rendering precision-entry for fat-fingered users, further completes the experience by integrating a revolutionary design, which can easily be adapted to a range of surfaces in a short span of time. While the availability details are yet to be divulged, Whirlscape has rightly taken a leap in the mobile technology segment for users who seek convenient yet accurate typing on their super responsive touchscreen devices. So be it some smartphone, gaming console, or tablet, the new amazing Minuum definitely seems promising enough to enrich your experience with precision and comfort well intact.

The trend of living an eco-friendly lifestyle and using eco-friendly products seemed to have caught on in the past few years for the benefit of our nature and environment. As a result, a wide range of eco-friendly devices has been invented with an aim to lessen our dependency on non-renewable power sources and also to decrease the pollution. However, besides wind turbines, solar panels or electric cars, there have been many other petite inventions that support our natural environment in strange ways. So, here is a short list of some of the strangest green inventions ever made: Eco Button This eco button with a picture of earth emblazoned on it can be called as one of the silliest invention made under the category of eco-friendly products, although its function can hardly be accounted as an environment savior. If you have this eco button, all you can do is send your laptop or computer into sleep mode by pressing it. However, the same function can also be performed by using the very simple drop down menu of your computer. Solar fan hat This fan hat that runs on solar power must have been invented with an aim to amuse people around you because even the most depressed person will laugh seeing it on someone’s head. It is still unclear why it is called as a green innovation as it hardly does anything to help the natural environment. Moreover, the air it generates with the small solar panel placed right on top of the hat can be generated by simply waving your hands. Solar powered bra Did you even know that you could charge up your cell phone by simply wearing a solar powered bra, although this undergarment will be applicable only on the female population? This bra has two cup holders like normal bras and also an electronic billboard unlike any other bras for charging your cell phones. As bizarre as it may seem, we cannot rule out the fact that it may come in real handy if you are lost in the middle of a desert. Blood lamp If you are ready to shed a drop of your blood, then only you can light up this blood lamp as this bizarre lamp needs a drop of blood to light up. It might take a real genius to figure out why it was even invented but it may attract a lot of vampires. Hybrid SUV Claimed as a green innovation, this hybrid SUV instead falls short of everything that might have helped our environment. This hybrid SUV has the worse gas mileage and also needs a lot of virgin resources to run. So, it seems like someone has got a lot of nerve to even call it eco friendly.
