Breakfast is the time when the busiest people in the world hurry the most. They neither want to miss office, nor do they want to miss their breakfast because in today’s health conscious world it has been told much too often that a healthy breakfast is something one should never miss. So, we need that toast in the morning while we scurry around to get ready for the office and if the toast gets stuck in the toast, there could be nothing more bothersome. To solve the problem Siemens have come with a long slot ‘Executive’ toaster that allows one to push bread farther up.

Until now, shockingly the Age of Science and Technology has not been able to meet the need of safe drinking water for over 1 billion people !!!

An estimated 6000 people die every day from preventable diseases such as Typhoid, Cholera, and dysentery. The Water Management Industry is the fastest growing industry raking in 250 billion euros worldwide. EU predicts this will rise to 400 billion euros by 2010.

The challenge was great but the answer was simple.
Mikkel Vestergaard thought of the 90% who cannot afford safe water and designed ‘The Life Straw ‘in collaboration with Carter Centre. A drinking straw that contains iodine, filters and carbon, at the cost of $3 and is being further fine tuned .
A LifeStraw contains ascending layers of finer mash to block bacteria. Iodine beads kill parasites, viruses and any other bacteria. Active carbon neutralizes the taste of iodine and makes the water drinkable. Nine inches of straw filter 185 gallons of water, enough for a person for one year.

It is a product without spare parts,electricity or maintenance, says, Mikkel.

Eggs are very much like small boys. If you overheat them, or overbeat them, they will turn on you, and no amount of future love will right the wrong

Have you ever been in a ‘egg in your face” situation when the eggs you boiled turned out to be a disaster? If you have, then you’ll surely appreciate the Foolproof Egg Timer which promises to save you from the indignity of going through such moments.

So, you toss in your eggs along with the Foolproof egg timer and keep on eye on the timer, not the eggs (thankfully!). The egg timer starts darkening around the middle once the water starts boiling. The graduated scales on the timer shows if the eggs are hard, medium or soft and when it reaches the right line for you, your eggs are done to perfection. The smart sensor senses this by the change in heat rather than the time and accurately accounts for the number of eggs popped in at time, the altitude at which the egg is being boiled, and the amount of water.

The smart gadget is simply affordable and comes at a price of £5. You just can’t go wrong with your eggs now.

And that’s EGGSACTLY what I said!
