BBQ has a long history in Southern US. People are so particular about the intricacies of the whole procedure that they even tell you using the word “barbecue” as a verb is wrong. However, Italians do not really see to be bothered by these rules about BBQ and Piero Lissoni has designed the Barbecu, with the e missing.
However, the barbecu grill looks way too better than what is usually found in the Southern US and I am sure people from the hinterlands of US would not really complain if they were given one of these stylish barbecue stoves. It can be used during all outdoor occasions and it comes with a straightforward pit and tabletop grill.

Projectors are usually stationary and the images that are projected tend to remain consistent in a particular angle. Though this might help in watching a program consistently without any disturbances, it also makes watching multiple images from different angles impossible.
The Levitating Projector is a scientific concept which is based on several micro-projectors that looks like a floating ball thanks to the electromagnetic base which causes the ball to be suspended. These micro projectors in the form of a levitating or raised ball allow you to watch different programs on different walls. This may be an interesting concept but many people may not like the idea of watching two different programs at the same time for that makes no sense.

One of the dangers of flying is that you may not be able to see what is flying overhead or worse, what it is like just above you. Mr. Steele has designed the VirtualHUD which projects images from the plane’s propeller directly to you without obstructing anything. It is a simple and sophisticated bolt-on system which would be great for all prop planes.
It takes readouts from avionics package, GPS system, and thus provides the pilot with overlaying information, graphics, warning and waypoints. The HUD is readable and provides you with good images even when there is smoke, haze and other factors which reduce the visibility. The technology is of course simple but no one perhaps had thought of it earlier.

Million Dollar PC has unveiled the surrealistic and unique Edelweiss PC Case Mod. The Edelweiss straddles between geekish computer inner parts and artistic portrayal of these parts. We all know that computers and art do not go together very well.
This case mod here however suggests otherwise and is one of the best I have ever seen. You would not find any wires or even the boring old case. It clearly reveals what is inside the PC and makes you appreciate the working of a computer. I would have loved to get this Case Mod for myself but I am sure it is going to be extravagantly expensive.

Sometimes all you would want is something to make your room smell good. Though your room is sparkling clean, if it does not have the necessary amount of ventilation it can start smelling musty. We have been using boring humidifiers and fragrances to help control the humidity and dryness and also add some fragrance.
However, most look too boring and bland and that is when you would need to take a look at the USB Aroma Humidifier. It comes in the shape of a helmet and I am sure you would love to get one for yourself. I would be great if you are a motorcycle fan as it is designed like a motorcycle helmet.

Nick Shotter has designed the 4MC, a four wheeler project. It is rather clear that bikes usually come with two wheels and the ones with trikes are no more called three wheeled bikes but trikes. The trikes offer better balance and traction and if you add another wheel at the back, it kinda becomes a four wheeler.
The four wheeled bike promises to offer extra stability and you could tilt it quite safely. The four wheeled 4MC also allows the rider to cruise a very slow speed without having to put the feet down. This means, if you visit one of the professional hoe-districts, you could cruise around slowly waiting for some hottie to turn up.
