Social Media Toilet Paper

Using some simple word play, Shitter has started a business selling toilet paper that has tweets printed on it. To sweeten the deal, however, the tweets aren’t just random tweets, they’re directly from the feed of the customer.
When ordering the toilet paper, one has the option of choosing tweets from their main feed or from their timeline. If one doesn’t want their own words on the bathroom tissue, they can choose to have the tweets from anyone’s feed printed on their loo roll. That means if one so chooses, they could wipe their bum with the words of Kanye West of Hilary Clinton.
Shitter will attract consumers because of its comical, ironic appeal.

Bump Pay for iPhones and Androids

Now you can get paid or pay a friend back on the spot with this new feature called Bump Pay made for iPhones and Androids. Once a feature on an app, Bump is now stepping out to launch a standalone app.
Bump Pay makes it easy so you don’t have to run to the bank and waste time, as it lets you pay someone by tapping both phones together. All there is to it is typing in the amount you’d like to transfer; the money is then sent through PayPal, where they take care of the rest of the process. There are no fees for Bump Pay, which is sort of ironic considering its purpose.
“We think of Bump Pay as solving a specific problem — helping people repay each other in person after having dinner or after paying for gas on a road trip, ” says Dave Lieb, CEO of Bump.

The NewChi ‘Ballet’ tea set

The NewChi ‘Ballet’ tea set doesn't only please the metropolitan eye, but also serves as a tribute to the appeal of a ballerina who masters balance and turns it into a graceful dance form.

The ‘Cypher’s Little Brother’ watch

The ‘Cypher’s Little Brother’ watch is sleek yet sly as it requires some knowledge to comprehend this intricate time piece. Unlike most watches with a big and little hand, the Cypher’s Little Brother watch concept uses its bold and mechanical-like designs to reveal the hours and minutes.
It’s a secret if you can’t read it. The hour hand is the big semi-circle and the one end in clockwise direction indicates the hour. The minute hand is the narrower bar but sometimes it’s masked by the hour hand; in that case, just add 30 minutes to the free end of the minute bar. The tiny triangles and dials surrounding the face can help.

Cypher’s Little Brother watch concept is a rendition from an initial watch called Cypher (hence, the name). Designed by Samuel Jerichow from Germany, this watch is made almost completely from matte black steel. There’s a colorful ring that lights up to give the sleek and dark watch some emphasis.

Pozzi-Ginori bathroom designs

Designers Antonio Citterio and Sergio Brioschi have produced a collection of sleek, modern furniture under commission from luxury ceramics company, Pozzi-Ginori. The pieces achieve the elegance of modern aesthetics while avoiding the clinical, sterile effect that too many sharp angles and straight lines sometimes produce. This is accomplished through the designers’ use of weight and material. For example, the bathtubs are set in large, almost square slabs of marble. This shape gives them a comfortable sense of sturdiness while maintaining clean, simple lines; Citterio and Brioschi’s use of marble provides a welcome human texture to an otherwise angular motif.

In many ways, Citterio and Brioschi’s work is reminiscent of older aesthetics; African and colonial Spanish designs seem to influence their work. The Citterio and Brioschi collection is a refreshing departure from the almost dystopian excesses of certain modernist sensibilities.

F12 Berlinetta by Ferrari

Ferrari has unveiled the fastest road-car it has ever produced, ahead of the vehicle’s debut at the Geneva Motor Show (March 8-18).

The F12 Berlinetta can streak from 0-100km/h in 3.1 seconds and continue up to 200km/h in just 8.5 seconds, thanks to a host of powertrain and design changes.

A futuristic bodyframe made out of new alloys has helped bring weight down to 1,525kg, less than the previous V12 Fiorano model, as well as increasing the structural integrity of the vehicle.

Underneath the hood is a 6.3-liter V12 that generates about 740 horsepower, Ferrari confirmed, more than its serious rival the Lamborghini Aventador.

Extensive time in the wind tunnel has helped Ferrari boost downforce by 76 percent and significantly reduce drag, thanks to a hood design to channel air away from the top of the car and ‘Active Brake Cooling’, which only opens the guide vanes to the brake cooling ducts at high operating temperatures, reducing drag.

The automaker’s attempt to jump on the environmental bandwagon has resulted in a reduction in fuel consumption of 30 percent and carbon dioxide emissions of 350 g/km.
