You’d have to be living under a rock to not know that social networking is all the rage. It’s everywhere and on every device. And now electronic cigarettes are getting into the action.

Electronic cigarette maker Blu, you know those smokes that emit vapor instead of smoke, have a new way to join social networking and smoking. Now, Blu has a way for Blu cigarette smokers to gather with other Blu cigarette smokers.

The iPhone 4 is prone to shatter easily, with that tiny plastic bezel. And also, touching its metal rim causes interference. The Vapor4 bumper is made of aluminum and just may solve the iPhone 4′s design problems. It looks great while doing it.

They are made of aluminum, and they have an interior liner that separates the metal from the antenna, insulating it. The manufacturer’s tests showed no interference whatsoever across all models of iPhone.

At last a green solution to all of those calculators that run on gas. Think about it. No more carbon monoxide fatalities during math class. No more having to take your calculator to the mechanic to get an emmisions check. At last, we can cleanly crunch numbers.

So I exaggerated a little. This water powered calculator is still cool. It uses three water batteries for power which have two electrodes inside made from a special alloy. When immersed in water they produce electricity through a chemical reaction.

Hacking a Wiimote is nothing new, but William Luxemburg from the Delft University of Technology is using the Wiimote and an LED light as a water-level sensor, measuring evaporation. The image tells the story. Just a tub of water with a Wiimote pointing at a plastic boat.

It’s simple and cost-effective and yields the same, or better results than pressure sensors that cost $500 or more. He re-programmed the Wiimote’s output and when it was connected wirelessly to a laptop he was able to receive real-time information on what the water level was doing in the tub.

The Briz is a concept air conditioner that dreams big while keeping the form factor small. Small as in the size of blinds. Blinds usually just block out the sun, but when these blinds are open they keep the air inside cool. Neat idea.

It uses water-filled tubes that run beneath the bottom part of the blinds to emit a dry mist into the airflow. As the water evaporates, it absorbs heat and cools down the surrounding area. Your blinds can’t do that. Your Google blinds can’t even do that.

As computer processors get faster one of the inevitable side effects of the increase in performance is that the processors run hotter. Many PC enthusiasts already know that to overclock their CPU too much means that they need better cooling and liquid is often the first step taken past air cooling.

Corsair has announced a new high performance liquid cooling system called the H50. The system is completely enclosed so there is no refilling or messing about with coolant near your computer. The device is compatible with both AMD and Intel processors and features a 120mm radiator and a copper plate for the CPU.

If you are a smoker, now is a good time to either quit or find some cheaper way to maintain the habit. Cigarette prices are rising and more states are banning smoking in public places. Blu Electronic Cigarettes can help. These “cigarettes” use a nicotine cartridge that contains an atomizer that vaporizes the nicotine.

It will deliver your nicotine without the harmful carcinogens, while satisfying the habitual aspects of smoking, like actually holding the cigarette and blowing out what appears to be smoke. That smoke is really just water vapor. And you can smoke these anywhere, even in places where smoking cigarettes is prohibited. Because they aren’t cigarettes.

Dell’s Studio 15 laptop is a decent and budget-minded system, but if you’re looking to get one that stands out a bit, you might want to check out the company’s new Special Edition model, which adds a “Black Vapor” paint job and a 1440 x 900 LED-backlit display.

You can get it with your choice of Pentium Dual Core or Core 2 Duo processors, up to 4GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 graphics. The price is going to be a bit higher than the non-Special Edition models though, at $799, $849, and $949 for the standard configurations.

We’ve perfected the art of excellent sound and HD movies in our Home Movie Theaters. But something is missing. A sense of smell. If you can smell it, you are there. That’s where SMELLIT comes in. Imagine watching a chef make a pizza and being able to smell every detail, like you could also taste it. You could watch some Cheech and Chong movies and get a contact high.

SMELLIT works just like your printer, but ink cartridges are replaced with smell cartridges. As your DVD or Blu-ray player reads the video and sound information, SMELLIT processes the same DVD, but the ”smell CARD” decodes the smell information from 10 to 20 seconds* ahead of the actual scene so the odors have time to hit you. After information is read, the cartridge vaporizes a very small amount of “smell gel”, and the central fan distributes the smell in all directions. It can be loaded with up to 118 cartridges, each with a different “smell gel”.

It’s better to water your plants in the evening, when the sun isn’t beating down on them. That way the water doesn’t evaporate right away and the ground can soak up as much as it needs. So that means you need to garden in the dark, but how are you supposed to see what’s going on?

With an LED garden hose of course. This garden hose nozzle has a light on it, so you can see exactly where you’re spraying. It doubles as a defensive weapon as well, should you see an intruder among your plants and vegetables. You’ll be able to see them run away when you spray them.

One of the most storied names in the annals of technology vaporware is Phantom. This is the firm who announced the Phantom game console that excited hoards of geeks to no end, only to string us along and ultimately never deliver.

Phantom changed its name to Phantom Entertainment after the failure of its console and promised to bring the Phantom Lapboard to market. The company managed to get a small amount of units built earlier this year, which were met with some scathing reviews.

Check this awesome grill out. If you liked the iQue grill, you’ll like this one. Hampton Grills has pulled out all the stops with this grill that resembles a moisture evaporator on the planet Tatooine. It unfolds into three separate grilling stations, each with their own individual temperature controls.

You can do it all with this one whether you grill, steam, smoke or grill, rotisserie, stir fri etc. It all can be done on this one grill. The whole unit folds up at the push of a button, which is pretty damn spiffy. The grill also features nearly 1200 square inches of primary cooking space on three independent grill stations. It will cost you though. The Hampton Grill is priced at $4,000.

Anyone who doesn’t smoke can tell you that if you hang out with those who do smoke, at one point or another they try and get you to smoke too. If you like the idea of a cigar, but don’t actually want real smoke, nicotine and the risk of cancer that real smoking brings you might try the E-cigar.

Ruyan’s Freestyle E-cigar is a fake cigar that uses a microchip, airflow sensor, atomizer, and liquid cartridge to produce a dense vapor that looks like smoke from a real cigar. The upside is that it’s not real smoke and has none of the problem associated with real smoke.

The folks over at ElectraTherm have a 50-kilowatt machine that uses industrial waste heat for fuel, providing even more options for green energy. They’re calling it the ElectraTherm Green Machine, not to be confused with that Huffy Green machine you had as a kid.

Get this. With this unit, you can actually get back the money you spent within three or four years. That’s with electricity costing approximately three or four cents per kilowatt-hour. They use an organic Rankine cycle to heat liquids, then the liquids are transformed into a vapor, at which point it will move the turbine thus generating electricity. Looks like heat-to-electricity can be successful on a small scale, since this is capable of powering up to 40 homes at once.

Close the door, you’re letting the cool air out. It used to be a bad thing, when you heard a parent say that. But apparently, there are those who actually want to cool the outside with an air conditioner. The Intelli Cool is tauted as the first ever outside air conditioning unit that uses a special water evaporation technology. The fans attached to it cool the air in your nearby surroundings.

But the fun doesn’t end there. It also provides bright light so you can enjoy yourself on those not so sunny days. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of info otherwise. It seems fairly ridiculous to me and it looks…freakish.
