PSP 2 Makes Pocket Bulges Almost R-rated
on page 296 the psp 2 sounds cool i really dont see how it will work if the screen flaps around but i like it the reason why i never got a psp is becouse the screen was to small but this looks like the screen will be big so i will have to look in to it some more

I landed on pg 317: "A bit of the ole’ in and out…". url: http://tinyurl.com/4gf9gm2. basically it said that when you have something plugged into the wall, it still wastes electricity, making your monthly bill increase. This is like a hangout thing that where you can unplug your chords, and plug them back in easily. I think that this can help because this will reduce the monthly payment of your electric bill. I think that this is good for the world too because conserving energy is a huge concept now.

wallace, o-1 said...

I landed on page 378 and I saw the "The Eclipse Office Partitioning System".Its basically a chair that gives you your own personal space along with a few extra features.I like it because it has some cool technology features and becuase it could save alot of space.

fuentes, e - 1 said...

My inspiration landed on pg 62. I found interesting the "Pour me some light" lamp. It's a lamp that looks like its pouring a liquid but it is actually a lamp. I think it's a creative idea just because it looks cool. The lamp also uses LED light to conserve enegy!

patton, e - 1 said...

I landed on page 237 and saw Sit About the Hot Seat which is a seat/stove to use when camping.Its like a little lawn stool/chair thingy but when you flip it to the side you can cook stuff on it. Even though it says it doesnt get hot enought to burn your butt, i still would be hesitant before sitting on it. But other than that i think its pretty cool and i would for sure get one.

juarez, a - 1 said...

I landed on page 70. There was a stand up wheelchair. It always the person sitting down to easily allowing them to stand up and then easly help them sit back down. It also has handles that make the wheelchair moves easily

stegall, j - 1 said...

I landed on page 50 and the Flower Clock caught my attention I think it's cool how they made it but I would not buy it because to me it's a waste of money..most of the time I don't look at the clocks on the wall or anywhere else I just pull out my cell phone.

butler, m - 1 said...

i landed on page 10 and there are these wooden earphones called Woody ear they arent to fancy, but they are a good alternitive to regular earphones

Anonymous said...

I landed on page 312. The design called "A silent alarm clock" caught my attention. I like this design because it can wake me up without any sounds, so when i get up earlier than my roomate, it won't disturb her. Addition, general alram always make me headache with "ring..." sounds. It is also a convinient design for deaf people.

Transforming Flashlight
http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/08/11/transforming-flashlight/

Thats pretty cool.. It would be really useful for me. Really like that idea, u can use it like a lamp or like a regular flashlight. I just would like to know how long it stays charged.

wilson, k - 4 said...

On pg 348, I found Window to the World. I think this would be neat because you can put something in the sight of this thing and it will pull up all the info about that building. That would be very helpful for me.

page, c - 4 said...

Dialogue Carpet – Endless Variations by Ane Lykke
This carpet looks SOO comfterable.. You can also ask it questions and it responds. This can help MY life by making it more relaxing and relaeseing stress.

vargas, k - 4 said...

I landed on page 106. It was something called "Expression Dot". Its a towel and whenever you use it, the towel gets polka dots. And the more you use it, the more polkadots show up on the towel to indicate that its dirty. It think it would be very useful because if I had it, I wouldn't have to wonder whether the towel is dirty or not.

tedder, d - 4 said...

page 202
Firefighter best friends...
These little bots are equipped with laser scanners, IR cameras and radar to cut thru the smoke. They can go through areas that humans cant and they are meant to operate the last phase of a firefight known as mop up.

rivera, m - 4 said...

On pg.42 I found the Sand Glass is a new look at traffic lights...this object is a okay thing i guess...because for me it would be a frustration to look at how long I have to wait to change color...anoying!!

milo, v 4 said...

I landed on pg 360 and saw this device that is a hole on a desk but it has some kind on this on that holds all the cables that you have. so that way way its not a big mess

gutierrez, n - 4 said...

i landed on pg.332 "Face melting Vinyl Stereo Speakers"
i think thatz so cute because i can put them in my room for decoration but also to hear music..

pedroza, y - 4 said...

i landed on pg 107 the [sharpen pencil, get eraser] it turns the annoying wood shavings into a nice eraser now you dont have to worry about spilling them all over your carpet.... :)

diverdi, d - 4 said...

i fell apon page 431 among this product called music sofa
now i know that we have had speackers in our chairs in the past and this isnt anything new but this chair looks revolutionary and sleek also the speakers in this chair look like 12in. woofers so it looks like they have a good bit of boom to them

Toth, d - 4 said...

I landed on page 233 and i chose to talk about memo, because its an awesome robot that can help you in various ways, i think its super cool since its a robot. Makes me excited about the future to come.
this thing can change lives because it can get medicine to people, and call emergency, and just help out in any situation for the elderly and anyone actually.

emborgo, t - 4 said...

Page 106 - Sixthsense for Search and Rescue

This vest that you wear will come in handy for hikers and emergency officals. Since you have to wear it, you will less likely forget about it. It includes a GPS, guides, and even a laptop in time of need. Not only does it help you when your lost or injured, but it will come in handy as a bullet vest. It's large bag in the front will protect you from being shot!

Myers, K-5 said...

http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/04/22/zip-up-tangles/


I thought this was a neat idea because whenever I have in ear buds, or head phones, they always get tangled up! With the new "Zip up Tangles" it's impossible to have tangled cords. This would put much ease in my struggles with untanglement. :)

Thompson, C - 5 said...

"Zip up tangles" page 239

a zipper is attatched to earphones so you can zup them together so they wont tangle. this would have been nice when i had earphones. less time untangleing, more time listning to music.

hernandez, a - 5 said...

page 429 i like the EASY CHAIR it would definatly be something i would use especially since my room is not very big...the idea of the easy chair could be applied to many other things in saving space

norsworthy, i -5 said...

Potty Pooper On The Go: page 243.
I thought this was really gross but in a super cool way. If you are camping or some where there isnt any toliets you can use this disposable toliet. You just do your business and fold it up and throw it in the trash.

adams, i - 5 said...

on page 243 i found this portable toilet. i think this is a good product to carry with you if you have a problem and you cant hold it in. this is also recyclble so its good to the environment. it can change our lives by makeing it convenient to use the bathroom whenever you need to.

ewing, r - 5 said...

I landed on page 239 on yanko and came across the 2015 Honda CB750... it's a motorcycle and it shaped like a Mega Block in the front, but is computer guided that updates every 1/10 of a second... it stears for you and is super modern... pretty cool

http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/04/22/mega-block-motorcyclin-on-down-the-line/

johnson, d - 5 said...

i stopped on page 243 on something called " Potty Pooper On The Go" , and its basically just a portable toilet that you can take anywhere you go. i think this can help people alot because sometimes when your on the road and there's no place to use the bathroom then you can just stop somewhere and use it in that .

almeida, m - 5 said...

http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/04/07/power-of-three/
Power of three is that product that i like the most cuz this product consist in save water and not waste it. I think this product will be very useful because we as human will try to save more water than used and through it for nothing. also this will be good for our planet.

vineyard, w - 5 said...

Page 74: a QWERTY keypad for iPhones. It's great because it would make iPhone typing much easier; instead of using a touchscreen that often ends up typing what you didn't want to say, you can now use a good old-fashioned keyboard that has tangible, familiar keys to navigate.

ARR3GU1N,R-5 said...

On page 243 i found a spoiler called the Motion ActiVAD™ GT Wing System Drift
It moves for optimum aerodynamics. It recognizes sprint/drag and drift mode.
niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:)

mejia, c - 5 said...

I landed on page 239. I found these pretty cool looking headphone called Y.I. Sound Zip Up Headphones. These can really change our lifes and help with all those bad tangles on regular headphones.

velazquez, n - 5 said...

i landed on page 239 what i like about the items in this page is "The Foresee Home" this was desing to help old folks to have the ability to have a better vision. this device is desing to scane your eyes like a device that a eye doctor has it can help us improve our vision

curry, b - 5 said...

I landed on page 243. I choose this device called Forget Me Not. I is a bracelet, made especially for patients who suffer from Alzheimers, that reminds you of things that you need to do throughtout the day. A built-in accelerometer makes sure that the screen is always facing up towards the viewer. It vibrates to tell the owner that it is time for them to do something and if you cant feel the vibration is says it out loud. Say that you are diagnosed with Alzheimers and you want to call your daughter everyday at a certain time, you plug it into the Forget Me Not bracelet and everyday, at that certain time, it will tell you you need to call your daughter and then call her for you. This technology will assist a lot of people in the future.

redfield, c - 7 said...

I've landed on page 195 where they have a new device called the Gaia Phone, this phone can basically adapt to your personality. For example when you haven't talked to someone in a long time there photo become more dim but the more you reconnect with them the brighter the photo of the person gets.

murphey, l - 7 said...

Page 42 landed on me. "I choose you"(Wet? No Way.)<-- That's the product. Basically it's an umbrella. I like it because when you use an umbrella then go to fold it up after using it(it is obviously wet) water gets everywhere. And with this design that will no longer happen

nickson, n - 7 said...

i landed on page 42, and i picked the sands of traffic times. i like it because it shows exactly when the light will change. This can help stop people from running red lights and having wrecks.

ponce, j - 7 said...

I landed on page 42 and saw sands of traffic times!, which is suppose to replace the traffic lights we have with a light that shows a sand glass emptying out to show you how long the red light will be on or the yellow and green lights, i think it be useful to know when the lights gana change that way ppl wont get mad cus the light isnt changing, it might even bring down the rate of car crashes and in doing so saving lifes

arnold, t - 7 said...

I decided to choose, A little LIGHT RAIN protection on page 330. Although this umbrella with built-in lighting looks almost too pointless to buy, I personally think it is quite a "hoot". One of the best things about this product is that it's a Do-It Yourself project so it is even cheaper than buying one of your own. The article itself claims, " It turns a rainy day into a night under the stars..". So, who wouldn't want one of these?

johnson, dasmine - 7 said...

i landed on page 294, which i seen a paint palette with a modern twist. it is so adorable to me. the paint paltte and the little thing you draw on can be chargered and pwered on, so there is no wasted paints anywhere. the paint palette thing have 5 different art tools and works by electromagnetism, which won't let the batteries go down easily.

morgan, d - 7 said...

On page 96 there's this thing described as an underwater yacht. While it must cost a ridiculous amount of money, I would love being able to own my own private submarine.

leblanc, f - 7 said...

Pg451
I so love the Prada Phone hay what can i say im a diva and they need to go ahead and hit home with a gucci and coogi and ed hardy phones and i will be their best customer of all

delagarza, g - 7 said...

I landed on page 355. I like this ear phones that there cords change color and go with the beat of the music your listening to. I dont think they help us in anyway but they sure are cool. There called "It's like I'm raving everywhere I go."

albro, d - 7 said...

On page 301. I picked the "Eco Box", because I would love to go out into the front yard and pick a box off my neighbor's orange tree. And plus it would insure that no bugs have infested the fruits. Plus it would allow the fruit to get to its rippest and sweetest form.

ramirez, j - 7 said...

pg.149

Don’t Give Up The Stub

it well help to save the environment and people dont have to throw them away

reyna, j - 7 said...

on page 191 are some bluetooth earbuds made by sony it is awesome! no more tangled wires. only thing o would worry about is loosing them

wiggins, m - 7 said...

On page 239 i chose the Digi Alarm Clock because there is no snooze button and you have to lift a ball to turn it off.

lanham2010-eramirez said...

page 42- the new version of the traffic light is better than ever. it is now safer. the design of it is the sand glass and right when it is about to change it gives you the time it has left to change. i think this will help out in people having less crashes.

soto, e - 7 said...

on page 111 i found the perfect outfit for a workout day.. this suit is designed to work the places that you want to work on.

williams, j - 8 said...

im on page 312 on the Hi-LIGHTer its a light and a highlighterin one s now you can highlight stuff in the dark i dont nkow about you but thats freaking awsome i allways wante to highlight something in the dark

stinson, m - 8 said...

i was beamed to pg. 384 and got the swiss "peace" knife. and basically it has bandages whistle pill holder compass but not a knife or anything else of that sort.

pearson, m-8 said...

i landed on page 177 and looked at "just what i needed for my phone". This is really cool. I actually have one of these at home. It makes it really easy to charge ur phone because you can keep the phone right next to the plug during the whole thing. Very handy

scoggins, l - 8 said...

page 177

There is a small bowl with tiny holes, which when placed into polluted water, filters out all the mess. It could be used for disaster situations or even for use at home.

linyard, t - 8 said...

Pg 311 pour a glass of light? say what? like taking a lightbulb and just pouring all the light into a jar or a glass? how cool would that be? but exactly how would u turn the light off? uh oh?

Unknown said...

http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/11/11/organamessena-desketa/

Page 177 the Organamessena Desketa.
I think this is amazing because personally I can be organized but not all the time---it doesn't stay for long. This could improve my organization as well as anyone who would use this. Legittttttttttttttttt :) It is also very pretty looking :)

wallis, z - 8 said...

Page 177 -> Fresholler
This little guy helps remind those who are living in a normal home that has expiring foods the amount of time left available to eat that food. Imagine, you always know how long your milk will be good. Genius.

hernandez, b - 8 said...

Page 177, the Happy Basin. What does something with such a ridiculous name do? Place it in any crappy puddle of water and watch as clean water rises to the top using nanofilters. The idea has several flaws and there are some terms that these guys use that make me think they have no idea what physics is. Surface tension buoyancy? It's a noble idea and I just hope someone intelligent takes the challenge of perfecting this.

shankle, m - 8 said...

i chose the fresholling on page 177 because in case the due date on your milk has came off you could stick that on there and it would tell you how many days you have left before it spoils

carter, j - 8 said...

Something that really caught my eye was the "Immaculate Mini Lawn In Your Loo", found on page 273. Not only would it increase my blood circulation, it is perfect for someone like myself because I am one of those people who wants to not come out of the tub or shower barefooted and having to walk on a dirty floor.

matthews, j - 8 said...

On page 62, I found a much smarter version of a traffic light. It's alot nicer because now it will fade when ever it changes into a different color. Also, it notifies you when an ambulance or police comes by. It'll make crossing the street more easier and a lot safer.

vasquez, j - 8 said...

I landed on page 177 and I saw this thing called the Happy Basin. What it does is its shaped kind of like a flying saucer and the shape ist relevant because you take it and shove it into the ground where ever the polluted water is and the nano....something at the bottom of it will purifiy the water. This will become relevant because there are some places where clean watre is hard to find. Cities can install these in water fountains and things to keep away some diseases that are commonly spread.

rodriguez, s - 8 said...

I landed on Page 177
I liked this "organized Mess Desk"
://www.yankodesign.com/

I love it because its great for messy people trying to get some order in their life....Example...ME! :D
I know this would Come handy for plenty others too.

murillo, j - 8 said...

i landed on page 137 and i found a "a real guitar video gam" it's just like rockband and guitar hero but it comes with real strings just if it is a real guitar. it would be cool to rock like a real guitarist with this invention

Anonymous said...

Suzuki's Green machine... I landed on page 332. New, innovative, hydrogen fuel, runs silently, and its a two-wheeled motorcycle. Sounds Aaaawwwweeeesome. And new. And shiny. And good for the environment. How much better can it get?

santoyo, l - 1 said...

I landed on page 330 and found probably the most useless invetion EVER! If you're wandering what it is well is a stupid thing that gets rid of ring mark that appear on your face IF YOU FALL ASLEEP ON YOUR FACE!!!

niu, y - 1 said...

I landed on page 433, and I like the Darklabel Retroxis Phone. Those designers who are still designing non-touchscreen phone should be highly respected. I like buttons instead of a board that's gonna change whenever you touch it.
I also like the black and red design, and the light material used to build it.
The watch under it is cool, but not beautiful.

weaver, c - 1 said...

i landed on page{319}
and i found the sinking tub..i like this because it looks relaxing..kind of like a hot tub..itll be great for the elderly people so they want have to climb up out of the tub...they can jus walk straight into the tub.

vazquez, j - 1 said...

I landed on page 297 and i found an emergency escape route that will help you find your way out of a burning home. about every few feet on the ceiling there is a projector that shines a blue halo ring on the floor that is super bright, you can see it through the smoke. Its great for people who like to busilly cook everyday at home on one stove.

bryan, j - 4 said...

page 25 the sleep mask. this could help me sleep better and wake me up in the morning

Reyes, A-4 said...

MU SPACE Portable Personal Music Player Pg. 150
http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/02/01/music-in-my-pillow/

This is awesome. It's a pillow and a stereo in one! To me, this is a better way to listen to music and/or lie down to sleep. You can also plug in your MP3 or SD card into it. It looks to me like an interesting design.

carrillo, c - 4 said...

I landed on page 25! I found an interesting item called the Knife Locker. I think this would be helpful because just in case you locked your key inside of something, you would have this item to unlock it. This works as it follows, this locks into position with a 270-degree counterclockwise turn.

Haskins,T-4 said...

i landed on page 314

i picked the audi.o get it?
cause i like like music and this car is so cool featureing bluetooth and other features that are tolatly amazing to me and any other dj or m.c.

http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/04/07/better-cutting-better-cleaning/
its a cutting board that can slide and make a hole in the middle to put the scraps so u dnt have to mess up ur counter. it seems very helpfull if ur a cook

baeza, n - 1 said...

I (Nora) landed on page 304....
i liked the barrcuda design..
it looks like a new fun thing to do in the miami water of florida!!! lol not really..but it would be fun to get on one of them and have some fun..
it would be better that a jet-ski..
FUN, FAST, BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!

i landed on page 345 and im looking at the transforming XO move. its like a moped that should be in the transformers movie. it changes from a one to two seater with the push of a button and has a secutity feature that when parked it transforms and locks up for security.

young, j - 4 said...

I really like the idea of the Waterdrop Shower Room on page 183. Showers are really boring and monotonous, and the simple idea of putting a screen capable of playing movies/shows would completely fix this for me.

madkins, b - 4 said...

I landed on Sleep Tight My Love on page 158. It's a pretty neat pillow. I think it would help a lot with not being able to sleep. I know every now and then somebody always has trouble falling asleep.Maybe a massage or lavender smell is just what they need to help fall asleep
