This is great your in the bathroom getting ready for work when all of a sudden a message pops up in front of you, so how great would that be?

Designed by Robert Stadler from French Designers Radi Designers, the mirror can receive a message sent to it by a mobile phone. These messages appear in the mirror as a luminous text, running through the mirrors surface.

Unfortunately there will be no escape from the SMS.

This gadget could appear to be just a box, well it is, but it is a computer box, it says so on the front therefore it must be right.

In reality it is in fact a computer storage box, which can be used for putting all of your accessories in, or stuff that you no longer use.

Inside there are felt pads to stop any damage being done to whatever you are storing in there and the lid is secured by magnets. On the lid there is a little message, just to remind you to keep it real. It says, “Computers are useless, they can only give you answers!”

The box measures 22 cm in length, width and height.

All this for just $30!

Take one look at the great looking printer and immediately you begin think, “Great! Now I know what I can do with all of those fax machine paper rolls” or maybe you don’t.

However this printer it has to be said is a lot different to the roller printers of the late eighties, it quieter for a start and will cut the paper to whatever length that you require including A3.

From a looks point of view, this printer would definitely go well with an Apple!

Unfortunately this is an entry to a competition for a design award, which would probably go into production should it win, but, as we know these things sometimes make into production either way, if they are good and this one is.

This is skateboarding reinvented or so they tell us. Whatever they say, this could be the beginning of a new extreme sport, and this is the gear that is going to launch it.

The Curve Extreme Sport based on the skateboard but with tires developed from those used on the bikes in Motor GP, but with tapers on both ends, which allows the board to make sharp turns during high speed down hill races. So you get minimal friction and maximum speed.

We will have to watch this one carefully to see what happens with this one.
