This Driver-Side Mirror Works Like a Flat Disco Ball To Completely Eliminate Blind Spots

It’s kind of surprising that an innovation like a no-blindspot driver-side mirror wasn’t created by the R&D team at a major automotive manufacturer, but instead by a mathematics professor at Drexel University in Philadelphia. That doesn’t make it any less awesome, however. Using a specially-developed mathematical algorithm, Dr. R. Andrew Hicks, a professor at Drexel’s…

Stupid Jug Texts You When Milk Spoils

Milkmaid is a new smart jug that tells lazy people when their milk has gone bad. And it actually won a contest from GE and Quirky, but not for being the most superfluous gadget ever.
