{title}Full Size Remote Control Cars - Remote Control Hummer H3 (crashed)
Thought to be the world's largest boy-toy, this remote control Hummer H3 is a full sized car. You can use it to drive over obstacles, cross rivers and do all the things you wouldn't want to do while… 		This is by far the lamest thing I've read on Trendhunter. I mean, Hummers should be used for very specific reasons like rescuing people after a natural disaster or something worth of such a monstruosity of a vehicle. To then have it become a wasteful toy that still chugs gas, for the sole purpose of seeing it do the stunts you wouldn't dare to do while inside...it's just ludicrous! Hopefully, this "toy designer" will get hit by his/her own toy Hummer!

{title}Getting Paid to Bicycle - PedEarn
As great as saving the planet and the environment is, there are still some people who aren't motivated by anything more than when they are offered money. The PedEarn by designer Amir Alizade is a concept… 		OMG I would totally drive in the disgusting South Florida summer weather if I could make money when riding my bike. Hope this comes to fruition sooner than later.

{title}Anti-Paparazzi Law Proposed - 'Britney's Law'
With the recent drama surrounding Britney Spears, the world's awareness was raised concerning the issue of how close paparazzi can get to the celebrity and how far they could push the privacy and public… 		Terri...So sorry for your loss. I guess you can rest assured that what goes around comes around...one day, all of those shallow a-holes will get that same kind of treatment they gave you and your husband and that very emotional time. Too bad you could shove their cameras up their butts...it seems to me that if paparazzi are able/allowed and somehow entitled to totally invade your privacy at THE MOST inappropriate times, that you shouldn't be able to freely express yourself violently against them. I say, we either regulate the whole paparazzi thing OR we totally un-regulate meaning, we get to get away we reacting freely (and maybe violently) towards these scummy paparazzis.

{title}Phone, Computer & More Under Your Skin - Digital Tattoo Interface
The Greener Gadgets Conference had some really 'interesting' concepts. Take this concept by Jim Mielke for example; a gadget that is 'tattooed' under your skin and runs on blood by turning glucose and… 		I do like the idea of changing your tattoo when bored...but would definitely be tempted to check my email while camping...Call me oldskool, but I think I'll just stick to stand-alone gadgets, and regular old tattoos :-P

{title}Compact Bicycle of the Future - Everglide Recharges Your Gadgets
Anybody that finds inner-city goings a hassle will be with me in hoping Frag Woodall’s entry for the 2007 Australian Design Awards becomes a commercial reality. The Everglide is a bike that has the… 		I wonder how much this weights as a back pack. And I also wonder if the backpack can be used to carry other personal items. I find this item totally fascinating. I too hope it becomes a commercial reality :-)

{title}Shifting to All Digital TV - What Will Happen When Analog Ends?
It is now official that TV will go from analog to digital broadcasts by February 17th 2009. Many TV stations already broadcast digital as well as analog signals. The difference is that on that date,… 		@bedlamite 23 : I actually wrote that the option will be "practically free", meaning if you go for buying the converter and using the coupon worth $40 :-P They may even be worth $50.

{title}Plaid Street Fashion - Preppy Punk at House of Holland (Fall 2008)
House of Holland had a really cool collection last season of which we featured the Model Attack Shirts. They've just shown their latest line at London Fashion Week, and the Fall 2008 pieces they showed… 		A preppy punk? Is this an oxymoron or am I going crazy?

{title}Anti-Paparazzi Law Proposed - 'Britney's Law'
With the recent drama surrounding Britney Spears, the world's awareness was raised concerning the issue of how close paparazzi can get to the celebrity and how far they could push the privacy and public… 		I agree with ayMan. Plus reporting on criminals and politicians news, can not in my opinion, be compared, or put in the same light, as following a Hollywood star around, on their girls night out! I think the "free press" already fell down the slippery slope on this so called "free reporting".

{title}Anti-Paparazzi Law Proposed - 'Britney's Law'
With the recent drama surrounding Britney Spears, the world's awareness was raised concerning the issue of how close paparazzi can get to the celebrity and how far they could push the privacy and public… 		I like the idea behind this law. I mean, I can't even stand when my husband takes up too much space on our bed! Coulnd't imagine what it would be like to have a bunch of strangers flahsing pictures at your face! I hope this law goes into effect.

{title}Charge Gadgets By Wind or Sun - MINIWIZ HYmini
MINIWIZ has created a portable, alternative power source called the HYmini. The device harnesses the natural power of the wind to recharge an integrated battery, which at the same time can be used to… 		AWESOME!!!

{title}Magic Gadget For Mobiles - MCube
The MCube is truly magical. This little wonder is a wireless charger, a bluetooth speaker and information display all in one. It was designed by Sohui Won, Seung-Hoon Kwak & Yeong-Kyu Yoo. Using short… 		Neat! I hope this is Apple compatible :-D

{title}Colour Ownership - T- Mobile Registers Magenta
Deutsche Telekom, mother company for T-Mobile in Holland, has registered magenta at the European Brandoffice to prevent any other company in Holland from using this colour for their communication devices,… 		This isn't like commissioning a font foundry to make a font for a brand, the key term here being "unique". Plus magenta existed way before T-Mobil...how can they claim this as an asset? A brand asset implies that they're protecting the brand they created, but they did not create 100% magenta. Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magenta and you will realize that magenta is not that unique. It is actually considered a primary color in process printing. It would be the equivalent of registering 100% black or 000000. LITERALLY! If T-Mobil had registered PMS 226 (made of cyan 0, magenta 99, yellow 0, and black 0) that would be one thing, because even thought this is really close to 100% magenta, it's still a unique ink color in the Pantone system. If somebody wanted to register a black like color such as Pantone 6 C (made of cyan 100, magenta 35, yellow 0, and black 100) that would be one thing, but to register just plain old 100% black would be ridiculous as well. How about somebody just goes ahead and registers the RGB white also known as 255/255/255 or hexa # FFFFFF? Just because it can be done, it doesn't mean it should. I think some colors, especially primary ones that make the rest of the colors in the world, should be kept free. And what about every company in the Netherlands who had already been using 100% magenta as their brand color? How are these companies affected by this T-Mobil hogging? It is one thing to register your logo which happens to be 100% magenta, so nobody can use your logo. But one very different thing to claim the primary color you use as yours, especially when that color existed way before cellular telephony even existed.

{title}Colour Ownership - T- Mobile Registers Magenta
Deutsche Telekom, mother company for T-Mobile in Holland, has registered magenta at the European Brandoffice to prevent any other company in Holland from using this colour for their communication devices,… 		And what about companies that had already registered their brand logos with magenta as a color? Hello?

{title}Colour Ownership - T- Mobile Registers Magenta
Deutsche Telekom, mother company for T-Mobile in Holland, has registered magenta at the European Brandoffice to prevent any other company in Holland from using this colour for their communication devices,… 		This is preposterous! This T-Mobile company should at least create their own type of magenta ink or at least claim a specific spot color that is magenta like. But to claim an ink that is basically created by using one of the four CMYK colors at 100% and claiming ownership over it is absurd! It would be like them claiming ownership over the word "and"! I mean...WTF T-mobile? If I ever decide to switch cell plans, the fact that you are now trying to prevent me (a graphic designer with a magenta logo) from using magenta pisses me off and will make sure NEVER to consider your stupid company as an option!

{title}Hot Fashion Hues - Pantone Spring 2008 Fashion Color Report
If you get the fashion color right for your wardrobe you are golden. Pantone is the recognized authority on predicting which colors are hot. The Pantone Spring 2008 Fashion Color Report has just been… 		Pantone Rules!

{title}National Electric Car Initiative - Israeli Government is Committed
Renault - Nissan will build the cars, Project Better Place of Palo Alto, Calif., will provide the lithium-ion batteries and will build the infrastructure, which may eventually consist of 500,000 charging… 		I want one I want one I want one!

{title}Human Leash - Goth Fashion Gets Couple Kicked Off Bus
A Gothic couple was recently asked not to board a bus after being told “dogs” weren’t allowed on board. That could sound discriminatory but Tasha Maltby was asking for it when the bus driver said… 		Haha...funny! It makes sense though I mean, dogs aren't allowed on a bus...so anything or anybody on a leash (a pet) shouldn't be allowed on the bus either :-P

{title}Skateboard Furniture - Skate Study House
Pierre-André Senizergues, the owner of Etnies Shoe Co. along with Gil De Le Bon Lapointe, have developed a collection of furniture for an upcoming exhibition in Paris. Skaters and snowboarders has been… 		I wonder if they're comfy...

{title}All Terrain Cabin - Life In A Shipping Container
Here's another fantastically clever Canadian invention! The BARK All Terrain Cabins (ATC) are made out of old ISO shipping containers and can comfortably fit up to four people. The ATCs would be a simple… 		I love the fact that these Canadians are putting those old shipping containers to a new good use! As per the living soflty part...These big old sturdy containers are gonna leave their mark wherever you put them, so...how exactly would this be considered soft living? I mean, if I spent say, a month living on somebody's backyard, in one of these containers, I image all the grass and creatures under it would die. Additionally, and unless they are just stationed, it's probably pricey to transport these to different locations. The containers probably weight like tons and require quite a bit of fuel for travelling. Again, I love the idea of the reuse, but don't get the living softly part...maybe I'm missing something :-P

{title}Teen Makes Bags Out of Juice Boxes - Trash E-Fashions
These handbags are made from recycled juice pouches and are both stylish and eco-friendly. The creative designer behind Trash e-Fashions Company is a 13 year old girl who discovered her empty Capri Sun… 		I'm curious to know how the people behind these bags got around the copyright infringment issue. Or maybe is not infringement to recycle recognizable brand packaging to create producst that are meant to sale? Does the money go back to the original brands maybe? I love the idea of recycling products but simply wonder how to get around the red tape of trademarks, copyrights, and the like.
