Sichestes Fahrradschloss

If you want to keep your bike from being stolen now you can. A German company has just made a bike collar that you can attach to your bike around a pole and then use a remote control to move the bike up the pole to keep thieves from taking it. I can't find anywhere to buy this so if you want one you'll probably have to find it or make one yourself.

Iphone

I know what you're thinking, the iphone isn't forgotten or unseen right? Apple's iphone isn't but InfoGear's is. Back in 1998 Infogear released an iphone that was a phone/computer. It came with a keyboard that could slide out of the base and it also had a touchscreen. All you could use the screen for was internet (which wasn't very good in 1998) and it had an email application also. Later on InfoGear was bought by Cisco and they never made a new version of the iphone. When Apple made their iphone in 2007 Cisco filed a lawsuit against them. It was later settled so they could both use the name in exchange for exploring interoperabilty between Apple's products and Cisco's services.

Bang Lamp

For years people have said kill the lights when they want you to turn them off. Now you can with the Bang Lamp. It comes with a gun and when you pull the trigger the lampshade topples over a bit to make it look like you shot it and turns off. Unfortunately you can't buy this yet. This was just shown in Tokyo for their Designers Week on October 27th.
