Is the Flexible Distance washing machine the sexiest machine of all?
The idea of having a washing machine so chic and minimal-looking that it could be placed in your living room as an object d’art is frankly absurd, but it will definitely add some cool glamour to your laundry or kitchen.

Save money and trees with Toshiba's eco-friendly toilet. Yes, really
Toshiba? Developing eco-friendly toilets? Now that’s under the dictionary definition of ‘WTF’.
With an annual power consumption reduced by 55% compared to similar toilets, the bidet-style model from ol’ Tosh manages to be eco-friendly by instantly warming water for the bidet-functions rather than constantly keeping it warm like most bidets.

Scanners and Fax machine sales up 25% in UK due to postal strike
Some enterprising young PR has sent me a press release proclaiming that PC World and Curry’s have seen a 25% increase in sales of fax machines and scanners since the postal strike began. What, they still sell fax machines?! News to my ears, I thought they were all languishing in museums right about now.
Niall O’Keeffe, Marketing Director for PC World claims “We’ve seen a run on faxes and scanners, customers…
Rentokil's RADAR mousetrap has LASER BEAMS and James Bond SMS alert technology
The bigwigs at Rentokil no longer have to watch their backs anymore, and can cut back on security guards patrolling their office grounds, watching out for PETA and animal activists, as they’ve developed what they’re calling ‘smartest and most humane mousetrap ever’.
Like something out of James Bond’s Q’s laboratory, the hi-tech Rodent Activated Detention and Riddance Unit (Radar unit, for us civvies), uses infrared beams and carbon dioxide to catch, and then gas the mice dead within 45 seconds. That’s not all though, as when the little critter has floated off to mouse-heaven, a text message is sent…
