If you have been following us since Blogybuilding.com, then you’ll know that we love a good giveaway. However, since we’re no longer a health and fitness blog per se, we began pencilling ideas for what would make an awesome prize and, moreover, reflect that we are now a “lifestyle and culture news-hub.” The ASUS Transformer Pad is a beautiful piece of machinery. It’s a hybrid, meaning that it’s both a tablet and a PC. How? Well the tablet can attach/detach to and from the docking station, which offers a full QWERTY keyboard and touchpad. More on the reverse.
Remember when you used to argue with your older/younger brother/sister over who got the bigger piece of cake? Who am I kidding - we still do that! Well, the Cake Divider by Klipy hopes to bring an end to such squabbles by allowing you to divide a cake/pie into equal slices. Simply find the centre of the cake, pop in the gadget, make an initial cut, then line up the guides according to the amount of slices you want, 6, 8, 10, or 12 equal sized pieces – it’s a piece of cake (pun intended)!

There is no denying that technology, in its many forms, plays an integral role in our day-to-day lives. However, just when you think you have seen all that the tech world has to offer, along comes a game-changer. There is currently no innovation out there that intrigues me more than 3D printing. If you have ever studied Design Technology (D.T.) in secondary/high school, you should be familiar with the terms computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). 3D printing utilises CAD/CAM technology; in other words, three-dimensional solid objects can be composed from a digital model. From reconstructing bones and teeth to creating models of buildings, 3D printing has various uses. In fact, Jay Leno has even used a 3D printer to create discontinued parts for his classic cars. The possibilities are endless. More on the reverse.
The internet is filled to the brim with various works of art and photography. Every now and again, however, you will come across something different. Something that catches your eye. Something that will make smile or even laugh. You get the drift. Tim Tadder’s Water Wigs certainly falls under this category. “We found a bunch of awesome bald men and hurled water balloons at their heads, to capture the explosion of water at various intervals.” Says Tadder, and the results are quite spectacular.

As a result of the recent legal battle between Apple and Samsung, I have found myself sifting through forums and blog comments to gauge people’s thoughts on the whole affair. A common suggestion that I came across was that both companies should settle their differences and collaborate, ultimately with the intention to innovate new products. But would a partnership between these two tech titans be beneficial for either company or consumer? More on the reverse.
