Gravity Scale Measures Your Luggage!

Here’s a rather great idea for measuring your luggage, a gravity scale that works with elastic bands and whatnot.  This is just an idea for now but I think it has some good uses without actually having to carry around an expensive digital scale.  And probably cheap to make this too.

$21,000 Wheel Speakers!

Yes, this $21,000 wheel-like speakers will blow you off as I would never pay that much for speakers.

Unless they mass-produce this and bring the price down around $210 not $21K, it will remain in the hands of uber-rich snobs who rather throw away money on gadgets like this.
