Waiting at the baggage carousel at the airport after a tiring and boring flight is the last thing you would want to do. Worse still is when you cannot identify your baggage easily and you miss it the first time or you pick up the wrong one that belongs to somebody else. Imagine the look on the face of the actual owner who is likely to mistake you as a thief (at least for the moment).

To help you get away from this nuisance and identify your baggage easily, “Things You Never Existed” brings to you ‘Luggage Locator’. It comes with a remote and when you press the button, the locator on your bag automatically lights up by flashing those 6 LEDs. What is even better is that you can record a message and it plays for 30 seconds continuously, which can be heard from 45 feet away.

This smart luggage locator is available for $14.98. It’s a tad too expensive but nevertheless, it’s worth it. At least you will be assured of identifying your baggage easily everywhere and not just at the airport. This is quite an interesting product. I am getting one for myself right away.

AlestRukov, a Russian famous designer has created amazing computer mice made from exotic woods from beautiful places like Sierra Leone, Cameroon and Sri Lanka. The rationale behind designing these mice is to extract maximum benefits and use out of natural materials and also extend their longetivity as well. The mice come with a warranty of 5 years and they can be upgraded to extend the service.

The mice are naturally eco-friendly products as they are made of pure cultivable woods for industrial purposes. The mice look ultra classy as they are well sanded and well polished. The shiny finishing touch is given by using linseed oil and carnuba wax. Each of the mice comes with an optical resolution of 1600 dpi, and microswitches rated for over 1 million clicks.

Interestingly, the mice also have a sound-wheel control by which you can adjust your system’s volume according to your likes. These snazzy handmade wooden mice are available in Bubinga, Makor, Sapele, and Ebony woods. The price tag ranges anywhere between €668 and €859 ($996 and $1281 USD). Now this is really too expensive to invest in some mice. Well, good things do not come with cheap price tags.

Most people use cellphones just for receiving and making calls. It is quite common to see people getting flustered with all the unwanted features which could actually be enjoyed better on the laptop or with a camera. The 31337 (Elite) Net Phone has thus been designed by Shane Crozier and it brings the social networking lifestyle to the real life.

Cutting down on many unwanted features such as camera, speakerphone, music, video and internet functionality, the 31337 adds contacts by linking to sites such as Facebook and Twitter. It takes all the data from there and comes with 2 minimal buttons and 2 dial interface. It also comes with a scrolling interface. Now all I would want in this is texting facility as most people use cellphones to send SMS.

While it is great to see a gadget that comes with minimal features, it would be great to see something that does not strip a gadget off some of the most important features. For example, a cellphone is most importantly used to send text messages. Internet and camera on a cellphone aren’t bad ideas either. Hence, I would say this gadget looks amazing but lacks most features I would want on a cellphone.

Ju Young Kim has designed a cellphone that apparently purifies air. In fact this could be the world’s first air purifying cellphone that also protects the users from air pollution and viruses. The Mobile Airload also emits a very pleasing aroma that makes the user’s environment smell good regardless of the person using a perfume or not.

The Mobile Airload also detects the air quality and warns you if something is going wrong in the vicinity of your location. There is no information about the cellphone’s price or availability. There is also no word on what kind of technical specifications the phone comes with. I would say, go ahead and get yourself a cool cellphone and carry some air fresheners with you, if you cannot lay your hands on this cellphone.

In my opinion, concepts like this rarely make it to the market because of the technical difficulties in mass manufacturing them. Nevertheless, it is an interesting concept and deserves a lot of praise. Who knows, in the future this might become a reality too! So let us just wait till we hear some good news.

We have just discovered some new Television remote controls by Sony Japan. These remote controls have simple basic functions and they come with big buttons. This will make it easier for the users to see the buttons and change the channels easily. These remote controls are waterproof. Thank God somebody at least came up with a waterproof remote control. Mine just stopped functioning as I accidentally poured water on it.Now I can care less if it happens again.

These Sony remote controls are compatible with most TV manufacturers. They will be on sale from September 10 onwards at but only in Japan. They will be available for 2468 Yen ($29). They come in five different colors. Interestingly, the remote controls have sharp numbered buttons but the button no. zero is printed on the button no. 10 in a small size.

I wonder why they had to do this. Probably Sony wanted to save some space for other purposes. Nevertheless, it’s not a bad deal considering it’s a water-proof remote control. My only worry is if this will ever be available in other places apart from Japan.

It’s rather surprising to realize that some people are indeed very strange when it comes to performing scary stunts. A Canadian man is selling his homemade jetpack via online classified ad. Apparently, he handcrafted the jetpack by himself and used car and airplane parts. He had been a mechanic for 15 years. You must be wondering what this jetpack is all about. Well, this will allow you to jump in the air as high as 10 feet.

You can jump twice per hour. It weighs 53lbs and it is as big as an ordinary camping backpack. It comes in grey color. If you are looking at the fun part of the jetpack, it’s advisable to also look at the flip side of it. You might land up dashing against the wall of a building if you are not careful while jumping in the air. You might land up breaking your bones no matter how safe it is to jump in the air with this jetpack on your back.

Another scary part is that it may just explode on your back if it’s overheated. Initially the jetpack was available for as low as $500 but now the price has shot up to as high as $2,500. If you are seriously thinking about buying then, you can test this yourself and also watch the owner perform the stunt for you so that you get the basic ideas to take proper precautions.

Gaggenau RW 496 is something that you would need to have if you are seriously considering being a wine connoisseur. It has been specifically designed for wine lovers and this refrigerator not only chills your wine to the right temperature but it also makes sure that the wine is stored in the best manner possible. It comes with amazing temperature and humidity control.

Not just pink, red and white wines, but you could also store “wine food” like cheese, meats and even chocolates. Cigars could be stored too, and you would not need to buy a separate humidor. In fact, the Gaggenau resembles a cigar humidor and that too an expensive one at that.

It comes with 3 zones and the temperatures range between 4 degrees to 21 degree centigrade. The humidity levels can be electronically monitored and you could store as many as 118 Bordeaux bottles easily. It costs quite a lot and depending on what customization you want, it starts at 11,000 Euros.

There have been several complaints about fireworks being either too expensive, or noisy or even too polluting. Moreover you would need license to burn fireworks and you would not necessarily get it every time. What you could instead do is get yourself a Uchiage Hanabi fireworks which has been unveiled by Sega Toys.

It mimics the audio and video of fireworks and thus you could have your own fireworks show right in the living room. It comes with five lenses and projectors which create effects of fireworks based on the kind of fireworks you want. You could choose the colour, type, sound etc.

However, I doubt it would replace the real thing and you cannot possibly expect a toy to replace the romance of watching fireworks lighting up the night skies while the stars continue to blink. The effect is realistic but most would prefer the real ones anyway!

Franck Nuovo and Michelle Yeoh are designers with Vertu and recently they designed the Constellation Vivre. The Vivre is an elegant phone that not only looks stylish but also feminine. The Vivre has been inspired by the flowers of Malaysia and it brings the tropical flowers to the realms of technology.

The cellphones come in pink, fuchsia, and ocean blue. There will also be a limited edition Vivre that would come in black. The black Vivre would have white diamonds and strange floral motifs. The limited version of black costs 22,000 Euros and the others cost 5,300.

The pink version costs 8,000 Euros. I am sure you would love this cellphone if you are artistic and would like something that just doesn’t look like a bland gadget. Grab your wallet and rush to buy these phones before they get sold out as I am sure many would want to buy them for themselves.
