See that wooden round thing above? That's a smartphone -- a real, working smartphone with a high-res screen and a camera, and not just a concept that will never come to life. Just imagining how to take calls on it without a headset or how to access w... If the proliferation of drones had you crafting tinfoil hats by the dozen, you’d better set up an aluminum mine. Drone and camera maker Aeryon recently revealed the HDZoom30, a drone-ready camera that lets operators effortlessly take clear pictures of unwitting criminals (and then some) even from 1000ft. away.

Huawei apparently just can't wait to show some of the wearable tech it has in store this year.

What if we could fire them from a gun and into some bread. Hell, that would revolutionize the making of meatball sandwiches forever. Well, ask and ye shall receive.
This looks like it was a fun project – when used for good. Just don’t build one and then shoot meatballs at your neighbor’s house.

It’s pretty rare that I eat eggs out of a cup – I usually have them scrambled, over easy or in an omelette or frittata. I just like saying fri-ta-ta. I may soon have to start going for some boiled eggs just so I can have a reason to buy these awesome ceramic egg cups.
Mustard’s Eggbot and Eggsplorer transform your incredible, edible eggs into the head of a strange alien, or the roof of the UFO he landed in. I like to think they come from a planet where everything is shaped like an egg. The planet Eggos.
The Eggbot and Eggsplorer will be available to buy in just a couple of weeks. For now, you can sign up to be notified on the Mustard website.
You probably don't realize what a struggle putting clean underwear on is. Taking off your pants and shoes just to change your drawers? Who has the time? To one underwear company, the struggle was all too real, which is why Claspies released panties that front clasps. Now you can take an easy task like changing you underwear and make it even easier.
