Link Round-Up: Good, Bad and Weird Inventions

Inventions that do, might and probably don’t work:

  • I wish I’d known about this
    service
    before I’d start freakin’ ripping my CDs. It’s a great idea, but
    about two years too late.
  • This is exceptional thinking
    from some guys in Quebec. Nobody ever wants to be a goalie when you’re playing
    shinny or floor hockey, so you end up shooting at a milk crate or something.
    It’s a bit pricey, but I could see rinks and rec centre buying a couple.
  • Dry-clean your clothes at
    home
    ? If The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe were a sci-fi novel,
    this would be the wardrobe.
  • Forget about fuel cells…just stay outside with this
    jacket
    .
  • This
    freaks me out
    . I mean, I’m sure it doesn’t work, but we live in a world
    where someday, something like it might.

Bonus link: I spotted most of the techno-gadgets that I write about on Gizmodo, the royal scribes of emerging consumer technology.

  1. The CD library online, sounds exactly what MP3.com spent so much time and effort going to court over– about 3 years ago. They’re kaput now.

    So yeah, the idea’s time had come a few years ago, but the music companies were too high on Napster-era digital music litigation.
