Nobody likes being woken up by someone else’s alarm, especially if you really don’t need to wake up or got in super late. This personalized Alarming Ring by Meng Fandi eliminates that problem. You never need to be woken up by your other halves alarm again.
The Alarming Ring consists of 2 rings that fit on each person’s finger and an electric plate that charges the rings. The rings can be set for each individual alarm time and vibrate on your finger when it’s your turn to wake up.
These conceptual rings are designed for couples that have to wake up at wildly different hours or even for the hearing impaired.

These electric bikes from Stealth in the UK look like something “Q” would come up with for James Bond. The bikes are sleek, virtually silent and look totally BAD!
Newly released in Europe, the Twizy is an electric car from Renault. Measuring just 2,338 millimeters long, 1,237 millimeters wide and 1,454 millimeters high, it is ideally suited to the unique space requirements of a city driver.
The battery is leased for just €45, including taxes, for an annual distance of 7,500km. Ample distance for a city run around!
More information on the Renault Twizy can be found on Buzzecolo (in French) and on the Renault website
When the all-electric Smart FourTwo was released last year at a car show in Germany, the marketing team had to come up with a way of marketing the car without using the usual, boring “it’s good for the environment” theme, so they went with a new way to play Eball, with the cars as the controllers and you behind the wheel. I must say, it looks like a boatload of fun.
The electric car is nothing new, but the Electric Tesla Roadster is different in that it is completely silent. The engineers refused to install any artificial noise makers, so pedestrians have to stop texting while crossing the road.
