Panasonic's 150" Plasma TV: Too Big?

COOL INVENTIONS : Panasonic's 150" Plasma HDTV

Just how big a TV do we really need, is 150 inches big enough? From Panasonic comes this huge, big, mammoth-like, gigantic (whatever you may want to call it) High Definition TV. Panasonic already has a 103" HDTV, but apparently, they think it's not big enough, so they're making it a lot bigger, a whopping 150 inches! Isn't this a bit too much, I mean how is it supposed to fit in our doors, if it's way taller than your average person?!

But I have to say, this HDTV is very impressive. Think movies and video games... with a TV as big as this, you'll feel like you're on the actual scenes yourself!

Save Energy And Reduce Food Garbage

INVENTION IDEAS : Hybrid Gas Range

The Hybrid Gas Range, designed by Korean designer Seokmoon Woo, is an innovative concept that uses food garbage as an alternate fuel for the gas range. Food garbage is becoming a problem nowadays, so to help reduce food garbage, this concept was created. Users can put away food garbage in a classifier, in which it ferments and methane is created. Methane can be used as an alternative fuel for the gas range. This not only reduces food garbage in a household, it can also save energy. If you want to switch to regular gas, you can do so by just pressing a button. Talk about a concept that is not only useful but also environment friendly. This is just a concept for now, but hopefully, it will be launched soon.

Pet-Sensing Doorbell: No More Door Scratches!

COOL INVENTIONS : Pet-Sensing Doorbell

For pet-owners, dogs and cats primarily, I'm sure you know all too well the frustrations when you see scratches on your door, caused by your furry pet. When pets want to go out or be let in, and the door is closed, it's in their instincts to scratch it. Good thing if you're there every time to open the door for them, but what if you're in another room and you can't see them?

The Pet-Sensing Doorbell is a great solution for this. It's an innovative cordless doorbell that rings when your pet approaches within 6" to 3' of the door. A "Smart Key", which attaches to your pet's collar transmits a coded signal that activates the doorbell when it comes within range. The sound lasts for about 7 seconds and repeats every 5 to 10 seconds. You can adjust the volume or turn it off at your convenience. Now, the only catch here is if you're too lazy to get up and open the door.

Everybody has their own reaction seeing their life on a clock. Others might feel that it's hands are moving too fast, others may think it's too slow.

They come in different sizes and shapes to accommodate everyone's preference.
