The Sari is a traditional piece of clothing originally worn by Indian women. The Google Sari is a designer’s attempt at being clever. Of course, if Google doesn’t appreciate it, your Sari may turn into a genuine sorry. It’s from designer Satya Paul, who showed the Google sari in one of his recent shows. Very clever. Or maybe not. I can’t decide. I can’t wait for his next attempt, which is probably iPhone inspired and called the Safari Sari or something. Maybe a see-through sari called Microsoft Touch. That one would be trouble.

You’ve got your MP3 player in your pocket. It’s comfortable and secure. Problem is it’s not easy to manipulate your controls while keeping it there. Plus, it makes it look like you’re playing pocket pinball and scoring big. Well, if someone takes this magnetic control concept and brings it into the real world, it could make life a tad easier in this situtaion.

The Pocket Pal knob is outside of your clothing, while it’s magnetically fixed to the body, which is inside your pocket. The control is easy, and you would be able to adjust volume or skip songs. The only problem I see is losing the knob. I’m not sure this is a great solution for the real world, but I like how they think.

Japanese homes are on the small side, so chances are you won’t find a dryer with the family washing machine. So what you have are many clotheslines with a TON of laundry all over a given neighborhood. But the Somela Fast Dehydrator offers a solution by being small and acting fast.

The device can dry clothes in just 3-5 minutes and doesn’t use heat, so no worries about damaging delicate items. There is one problem. The device requires manual interaction, like you holding clothes while the device pulls. So prepare to put a few spare hours aside to dry items one-at-a-time. Still, if you don’t mind some old-fashioned labor, get it for just $173.
