Xiaomi is no longer a name associated with just smartphones and tablets. It has even transcend laptop computer and all things computing. It does what many tech company won’t do and never will do, and that is making itself a provision of mixed goods and gadgets. It has myriad of products you won’t expect from a handset or computer maker; it has umbrellas, mobility scooter, smart shoes, and even calendar, and today, it appears to have a hair straightener joining the brand’s ever-growing portfolio. Oh, wait. It looks like it is not a Mi product as I have read. Continue reading A High-tech Wireless Hair Straightener Appeared On Xiaomi’s Crowdfunding Platform, YouPin

Now, a shaver by itself is clearly nothing new, but what makes Mijia Portable Electric Shaver so special is not just the Xiaomi’s now signature minimalistic design; it is probably the first electric shaver in the market to tout recharging via USB-C. Yup. USB-C has arrived to shaver. So, I guess it is a ‘yay’? Maybe? Continue reading Xiaomi Brings USB-C Charging To Men’s Portable Electric Shaver For Just $27

Unfortunately, not everything in life is WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). Makeup is one of them. How? Because, lighting. Don’t get it? Think of its as a computer monitor color calibration.

Onsen Bath Towel Says Bye To Mustiness, Hello To Quick Drying
Bath towel is a thing that you grab off the shelves of supermarket, or stores like Bed Bath and Beyond, without much of a thought. Anyways, regardless of where you acquire it, I am sure you face the same problems many of us faces with bath towel: drying – both you and itself after used. The latter is perhaps the worst because a hard-to-dry towel can turn musky pretty quick and bad smell, as some science tells us, more often than not, is associated with bacteria growth, and surely, no one wants to spread bacteria all over his or her body, right? Well, neither does Shane, who sets out to develop a bath towel that readily picks up water from your body and dries itself easily too.

“Second Skin” Is Possibly The Closest Thing You Will Get To Elixir of Youth
These days photos lie. The advancement in imaging hardware and software allows us to beautify our photos even as we are taking the photo and as a result, photos may not be the most accurate representation of the real person. Just think of girls with skilfully applied makeup (which probably took hours to complete) and you will know what we mean. So far, the ‘misrepresentation’ is limited to digital images, but a new joint development by scientists at MIT, Massachusetts General Hospital, Living Proof, and Olivo Labs may soon enable a wrinkle-loaded person fool you into believing he or she is 10 or more years younger then they really are.

KFC-flavored Nail Polish: Now, That’s Literally Finger Lickin’ Good!
I remember when I was younger, KFC used to serve fried chickens with real plates and proper cutlery (yes, I am that old). In the early years, the management decided to dispense with the formality and took on the disposable route, which kind of makes sense as one of its very first and arguably most recognizable slogan was “Finger Lickin’ Good.” The slogan was dropped, picked up, dropped, made a comeback and eventually dropped again. Notwithstanding, the slogan is what most people associate KFC with and as it turns out, KFC Hong Kong is not only still using the slogan, but it has taken the concept of “Finger Lickin’ Good” to a whole new level with edible nail polish that tastes like, well, KFC fried chicken, of course. And yes, it is a real thing. Continue reading KFC-flavored Nail Polish: Now, That’s Literally Finger Lickin’ Good!
