To use Spin the Bottle: Party Games, you place two fingers on the screen and twist them. The harder you twist, the faster the bottle spins. It will then stop on one of the four colored quadrants. While this is … Read more

When it comes to the grill, procedure and setup are important aspects to consider. Aside from obvious safety concerns when dealing with hotter-than-hot objects, everything from grill placement to grill accessories need to be determined. And of course, when dealing with charcoal or natural wood, a means to light the fire would be necessary. All the better if that can be accomplished with no accelerant.

The Looftlighter Electric Firestarter requires no lighter fluid to get the fire going. Constructed with a 10-foot power cord, the grill gadget plugs into a standard outlet and supplies focused heat at a high temperature. … Read more

I have a certain affinity for tacky novelty gifts. I used to peruse comic book ads offering untold delights such as X-ray specs, hand buzzers, and fake vomit.

The Prescription Bottle Beer Holder from Gadgets and Gear would fit right in with those tasteless gags. It's bound to be a hot joke gift among both frat boys and medical professionals.… Read more

There are iPhone cases that protect the world-changing devices from sledgehammer blows. There are cases that act as backup batteries. There are fashion cases that match your ensemble and waterproof cases that invite your iPhone to the beach.

But if you're anything like me, you've been waiting for a reliable iPhone case that can knock some of the pretension out of that little box of delights--something to make it a little more redneckish.

Here's one for all the fitness and gadget gurus: the i-dration device.

The prototype bottle, which developer Cambridge Consultants is calling the first in a new generation of hardware apps (although we've found others), dispenses hydration advice by wirelessly transmitting real-time data to a smartphone. The bottle's sensors monitor not only fluid quantity but also temperature and drinking frequency.

The corresponding smartphone app, in turn, uses the phone's built-in accelerometer and gyroscope to measure exercise levels, and then fuses data from a heart-rate chest band with pre-entered details (i.e. height, age, weight) to assess the … Read more

Forget iPhone cases that recharge your battery, support your favorite team, transform into a keyboard, or survive mortar attacks. I want one that can open my beer.

And that's the iBottleopener in a nutshell: it's an iPhone case with a built-in bottle opener. Check it out in the video down below.

The hard-shell case consists of two parts, meaning it slides over your iPhone and locks together. It has cutouts in all the right places so you can access your buttons, headphone jack, etc. The opener is, well, a bottle opener.

I have to say, I don't … Read more

Plastiki, a boat constructed of discarded soft-drink bottles, arrived Monday in Sydney, Australia, completing an 11,000-mile journey across the Pacific Ocean intended to draw attention to the way humans treat the environment.

The 60-foot catamaran set sail from Sausalito, Calif., just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, on March 20. Buoyancy was provided by more 12,000 recycled 2-liter bottles donated by Waste Management, which were washed, cleaned, and pressurized before being installed in the boat's twin pontoons.

When you wash baby bottles, towel-drying them isn't even an option. You have to precariously balance bottles all over your counter as you wait for them to dry--preferably upside down, so they'll drain. The Beaba Bottle Draining Rack makes the process easier, allowing you to set up to six bottles so that they can't be turned over or unbalanced. The rack will also hold up to six nipples, seals, and caps, so you've got all the pieces in one place. In fact, depending on how many bottles you have in rotation, it can make sense to … Read more
