Pour your own beer from your kitchen cupboard, with this CDA beer dispenser
One for the blokes, or just anyone that enjoys a good pint of yeast, this beer dispenser from CDA can be installed in any standard kitchen cupboard, perhaps under the sink, instead of those useless spray-bottles of Cif. Who needs cleaning products, anyway?
It’s 60cm tall, and illuminates your midnight beer-pouring antics with its soft blue LED glow. Included in the kit is a CO² cylinder, along with a keg adaptor, temperature gauge and pressure gauge. What’s not included is Berocca, which you’ll be needing the morning after, let me assure you. It costs £1,155…
Voyage Barbecue Grid sports many features, including iPod integration
Surely proving that there’s nothing you can’t stick an iPod dock on to, the Voyage Barbecue Grid — albeit a prototype design — offers some fairly luxurious al fresco dining.
Designed to allow everyone to enjoy sitting around a barbecue, getting enveloped in smoke and watching the food turn black, the table features integrated chairs, a dishwasher, refrigerator — and that inevitable iPod dock…
Colour your faucets crazy with the IWOOT glow flow tap
There’s a strange obsession here at Tech Digest, for taps with coloured LED lights. Yes, I don’t understand it either, but at least the diehard faucet fanboys can now rejoice that the UK market has not been left out of the lucrative affordable-coloured-taps world.
The above contraption turns your stream of water into a coloured ‘waterfall’ according to retailer I Want One Of Those, and due to the inbuilt temperature sensor, it changes between red and blue depending on whether your kids are wasting hot or cold water that hour.
At £14.99, you could afford…
Tana T6 – bottle-quality water on tap
In the UK at least, there's a campaign to get us away from bottled water and back to more eco-friendly tap water. For some people, that's easier said than done, with fears over contamination in the free stuff. The…
Should Sony be launching the ICF-ClipMK2 iPhone clock radio dock? Anyone?
Well now, this is a conflict of interest if ever I saw one. Why is Sony, who has a successful Sony Ericsson handset range, and (ok, a not-so-successful) Sony Walkman range, making an iPhone clock radio dock? Have they wired it so that the iPhone will explode once docked in the device, so users will be forced to buy Sony products to replace the iPhone?
It’s not just the concept which is strange – the model name, ICF-ClipMK2 isn’t particularly easy to rattle off the tongue, either. Still,…
Live radio can now be paused with Roberts' Gemini 31 DAB radio
Roberts has updated the Gemini 21 DAB radio released last November, with the Gemini 31 model.
Like its predecessor, it promises eco-friendliness in bucketloads with its 100hours of battery life, plus new features such as the PausePlus function, which gives you the ability to pause live radio for up to 40minutes.
Available in a silver…
Sony Europe introduces "Product, Process and Planet" environmental commitment
Sony Europe has just recommitted itself to lessening its environmental impact, with the introduction of the “Product, Process and Planet” initiative.
The “Product” part of the initiative relates to Sony’s efforts to make its consumer electronics goods more environmentally friendly.
TV products currently account for around 76% of Sony’s overall CO2 emissions, but the company has reduced the power consumption of its LCD TVs, and in recognition of this was awarded the Sustainable Energy Europe Award by the European Commission and the EISA Green TV Award last year.
One day, hopefully we can replace old Polaroids with this digital Polaroid photo frame
Polaroid may’ve committed suicide just last week, but designer David Friedman over at Ironic Sans has drawn (ok, Adobe Illustrated) up a conceptual digital Polaroid idea, similar to a poxy digital photo frame but obviously with that now-retro appeal.
Photos can be loaded onto the Polaroid by the memory card slot at the bottom of the frame, and with the touch-screen, you can choose…
Roberts' Radio dishes out some 'Glow Time'
With a name like that, it better ruddy well not wake me up to Cyprus Hill at 7.30AM like last week. I’m expecting the soothing tones of Morrissey, instead.
With an easy-to-read full-screen blue…
Don't hide those cables! Buy knitted clothes for them instead, with Mizutani's Cable Knit Corporation
Hiding cables and wires is an on-going problem in every household, so why not AMPLIFY the situation with these, erm, knitted woollen cable covers. It’ll go PERFECTLY with, erm, your minimalist MacBook. For, erm, €50 each.
From, erm, some bloke’s LiveJournal account….
