Nike has patented a self-lacing shoe although its street date is probably some time away.

The concept involves a self-cinching ankle strap that can tighten or loosen on demand as well as spooled laces that can tighten just like when you tie your own shoes. Apparently it is like a shoe designed by Marty McFly in Back to the Future 2.

Springteq has introduced the WeGo HUD GPs for your car.  It’s a [...]

TV’s are everywhere now, including bathrooms.  I’m a personal fan of the TV’s that come built into mirrors.  You don’t even know they’re there until you’re ready to watch.  But they’re usually small, and size makes a difference.
Whirlpool wants to change all that with its sub-tub concept.  The OLED TV (the size to the tub [...]

Bill explained to me that in his profession he consistently uses email throughout the day to communicate. He uses email frequently because is the easiest way to stay in touch with clients, associates, and friends. “Dad. Email is dead.” His son told him. Is email dead?
