Riders deserve their space on the road, yet some hot headed drivers apparently missed that day in driver's education class. The challenge becomes understanding what actions bikers may take. Sure they teach us the hand signals at an early age but face it, not all cyclers use them. And then there is the fun of blind spots, awkward intersections and other cars which can hinder a driver's view of a biker, even if you are trying to be really polite. This exact conundrum served as perfect reason to create the DORA Bicycle Helmet. Designed by Hungarian student, Balazs Filczer, this is a helmet of modern technology. Run via a rechargeable battery conveniently clipped in as part of the helmet – DORA contains exactly what a biker needs: a headlight, a tail light and left/right blinkers. Lights are controlled on a handle bar attachment which communicates with the helmet via Bluetooth. DORA is so logical it elicits one of those "why hasn't that been done by now" responses. Apparently that is what voters at the International Bicycle Design Competition recently thought as it won the top award in the clothing & accessories category. A possible drawback may be additional weight added to the cyclist's head. But I would think a smart company that jumps on this innovative product could come up with materials to lessen the added mass. So yes, DORA is just a concept as of now. But I would not be surprised to see it on the market in the future and hopefully help drivers and bikers communicate more clearly.

It's all in the look of the food right? Hhhmmm, dicey looking dip…no thanks. Sandwiches where you can't see the contents…not taking the risk. The quest for any chef becomes how to make mass amounts while still making it look as good as possible. If this dilemma is not new then you should check out the Stackable Appetizer Maker, $19.95 on Broadway Panhandler. This four piece, plastic set enables you to turn out consistent-looking snacks quickly. Insert the "Cut & Carry Base" into the U-shaped main holder. Put your layers in one at a time – using the tamper to press layers down as you go. Fill the main holder as little or as much as you choose. Then use your knife or the serrated slicing device included and the notches in the main holder to cut your creation into perfectly portioned stacks. No guest will want to resist such professional looking munchies when done. Check the video below to see it in action. Need inspiratoin? A book of applicable recipes comes with the 4-piece set. If mass production of munchies falls under your duties let the Stackable Appetizer Maker assist.

After all, "getting away from it all" is a must-do for you when you clock out at the office, and there are different ways employed by various people when it comes to de-stressing, and here is the $399.95 Hanging Cocoon that you might want to consider, instead of a monthly membership at the local gym. The Hanging Cocoon is actually a glorified hammock, although it does have its fair share of advantages, which is why it was so named (and of course, priced). The Hanging Cocoon will cocoon (hence its name) its user within a private suspended sanctuary, making it the ideal spot to read, unwind, or perform a personal reflection session. It has been inspired by the hanging, tapering nests of weaver birds, boasting of a semi-enclosed design that makes it equally private for both adults and children alike. Capable of supporting up to 440 lbs. when hung, the eight-section aluminum ring allows you to assemble in minutes.

I say bollocks to all of that, and just settle for what you want to drink, as you can never tell whether today is going to be your last day here on earth or not. Having said that, you might want to check out the £34.99 Koziol Unplugged Coffee Maker which comes in lime green, red, white or black colors. All you need to do is fill up the Koziol Unplugged Coffee Maker with coffee (or other flavors if you so desire), add some boiling water, and you're good to go. Sporting an extremely classy design, it is the de facto coffee maker to purchase especially if you happen to be a young, working single who is just starting out in life, living in an extremely cramped apartment at a rent that would cause your father to cough up blood when he hears about it. Best of all is, this is one coffee maker that keeps on working even when there is no electricity in the region, thanks to its traditional drip-style form factor.

Just what kind of goodies does the latest Galaxy S4 pack underneath the hood? Not everyone is going to agree with the design cues for sure, where it comes with a larger display and a minimized bezel, housed in a body that measures 130 grams and is a mere 7.9mm slim. The Galaxy S4 is an exercise in oxymorons, as it is slimmer yet stronger, not to mention having less to hold and yet has more to see. You can choose from Black Mist and White Frost colors at first, although Samsung did promise that they will roll out a host of other color options down the road. The Galaxy S4's main draw would be what they call the world's first 5" Full HD Super AMOLED display at a whopping 441ppi for stunning viewing quality, while boasting of Corning's new Gorilla Glass 3 that makes it more durable than it already is. At the back lies a 13-megapixel camera, with the ability to make use of both front and back cameras simultaneously, allowing both the photographer as well as the subjects being shot to be captured simultaneously, making sure that you are no longer left out of the picture, now how about that? Not only that, there is also a 'Dual Video Call' function that lets you make and receive a video call with friends and family, at the same time showing just how disheveled you look during the call. Connectivity options include HSPA+42 Mbps and 4G LTE, and you can also choose from 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities, where all of them can be expanded via a microSD memory card slot. The Galaxy S4 will arrive globally in the second quarter of the year for a yet unannounced price, but it sure is not going to come cheap.

LG Electronics has something interesting up their sleeves with the announcement of Smart Video capability for the LG Optimus G Pro, their current flagship, which will be introduced as an update pack to the handset in the South Korean market from April onwards. Smart Video is a new multimedia user experience feature that ensures your video recording and photo taking sessions on the LG Optimus G Pro will never be the same again, and not only that, it will also sport eye recognition capability that opens up the doors to a whole new world of convenience. With the implementation of advanced eye recognition technology, Smart Video is capable of figuring out just where your eyes are looking at at the moment, and should it "see" using the front-facing camera that your eyes are looking elsewhere other than the display, video playback on the device will stop automatically, and when you return your gaze to the smartphone, so too, will the video playback resume from where it last left off. If this isn't smart, I am not quite sure just how high the bar you have set when it comes to the definition of a "smartphone". Perhaps you want one that is also capable of fixing your daily cup of morning coffee, two lumps of sugar and all? Apart from the Smart Video feature, LG's Optimus G Pro is also said to carry with it another claim to a "world's first", thanks to its Dual Camera function. In a nutshell, the Dual Camera feature will be an extension of the Dual Recording feature that originally appeared on the Optimus G Pro that arrived in the South Korean market in February. Dual Camera is capable of capturing photographs using both the front and back cameras, delivering a picture-in-picture composition so that you as the photographer, can be "part of the story" instead of remaining as an independent observer.
