It’s a common problem. Dishwashers are tough on Wine glasses. They have a tendency to move around and get knocked about. The Tether Stemware Saver can help keep your Wine glasses safe. The design features a hollow rubber base that slides over a dishwasher post and a clip that attaches to the glass’s stem.

A brilliant yet simple solution. Right now it is between a concept and product, but hopefully these are available soon, much to the chagrin of Wine glass makers.

The Smart Hydro looks like an ordinary bathtub, but it has two transparent walls made from a highly-resistant glass, some aluminum handrails, and a very advanced control system. This means that you can set the exact temperature of the water, and it will alert you when the temperature has been reached. Your tub can’t do that.

There’s also a Keep Warm function that will keep the water temperature at a constant level. Other features include a self-cleaning system and even several connectivity options. You can activate its functions from your smartphone and monitor the water’s temperature in real time if you are on your way home and want a bath ready. No word on pricing yet.

Digital picture frames are cool, but comic strips are better. No one prints photos these days, but I bet this new Comic Strip Picture Frame will get people printing them again. It lets you make your own new adventure using your pics.

Are you addicted to espressos? Well, the Airspresso might be the espresso maker for you. Even if you are in the middle of nowhere and you need your espresso fix, it will help you out. With the Airspresso, a bicycle air-pump, coffee beans and some hot water you’re good to go.

This espresso machine uses air pressure instead of steam to turn your ground coffee beans and hot water into the amazing drink that you love. However it isn’t cheap at $180. Still, at least you will be prepared and never have to go without.

Kids just want to brush their teeth for 5 seconds and then they are done. But that doesn’t get rid of all of the germs. The Wash and Brush timer from TrendyKid can help you make them brush longer. The idea is that you put the timer in the bathroom and teach your kids how it works.

The hand or tooth icons select the timing mode and the light will flash green, telling you to go or continue brushing. As you get closer to the end of the countdown, it flashes faster and turns red when it’s okay to stop. The Wash and Brush timer uses 3 AAA batteries and costs about $8.

To help you keep your home and office safe while you are away, check out a new system called the Smartvue S9.

Samsung’s new RF3289 fridge allows users to access Pandora or even tweet while finding a snack. The fridge is the first of its kind to feature integrated WiFi that will let you view Google calendars, check the weather, download recipes from Epicurious, or leave digital reminders and notes. If there is such a thing as being too connected, this right here may be it. I’m surprised it doesn’t tell your Facebook friends what you are eating.

The fridge has an 8-inch LCD touchscreen as well as a Twin Cooling Plus System that keeps perishable produce fresher for longer. The RSG309 and RF4289 models also provide plenty of storage space. Both will be available in Canada later this year.

You might remember that $10 FastMac U-Socket that we showed you back in December of 2009. Sadly it was the victim of a number of delays. There was an October ship date and a raised $20 price last we heard. But it never shipped in October either.

The company is now telling customers that it’s getting ready to ship the USB power socket next month. Finally. Still, it’s better late than never. My walls need some USB power.

Christmas lights are cool, but they are a pain since you need to take them down again when the season is over. The LiteLocker will help make it less of a chore. The idea is that it will fold up and hide the lights behind a protective cover once the Christmas season is over.

This isn’t your grandmother’s sewing machine. The Brother Entrepreneur Pro PR-1000 is the world’s first 10-needle embroidery machine with built-in camera-like technology, low-cost digital garment printer, and the first sewing machine with a built-in scanner.

Yeah, your grandmother might not even know what to do with this thing. When the machine was launched in Europe earlier this year the price was around £7999.00 (USD $12,500). This one is for the serious diy-er who has some serious money.

Man it is so hard to open the lid of a trash can to throw away trash. That’s why we need an automatic trash can. Simplehuman has come up with an automatic trash can, called the sensor can, that has a multi-sense sensor. That means it can guess what you’re trying to do and determine whether to keep the lid open or not.

When the lid is closed, the sensor zone is above the trash can, so walking past won’t trigger it. Once the lid is open, the sensor zone is widened to see if you are still around and throwing things away. If you stay there for over three seconds, it will enter a stay-open mode for thirty seconds. It’s powered by six C batteries which will last a year, or you can run it off the socket.

Ever have the urge to turn some of those annoying plastic bags back into oil? Well, now you can do just that at home thanks to the Blest H, a desktop machine which can convert plastic back into oil. The company doesn’t say exactly how this is done, but it looks neat.

They make industrial sized machines as well, but this one is for home. The machine currently costs around $9,500.00 to buy, but they’re hoping prices will fall over time. Hey, if you make enough oil, maybe you can sell it and be your own BP.
