Portable Modular Living System

Portable Modular Living System by SwissRoomBox

The design which comes in deep red consists of various boxes interconnected to each other and once installed at the back of the car, different sections are dragged out as required. While on the move, you can access a dining table, bed, chairs, sink and even shower just by sliding box shaped containers over each other. It's as easy as steeping out from your kitchen to your bedroom. The whole setup can be established in 15 minutes without using any tools. All you have to do is to fix the base of the system to various points in the vehicle and connect a particular electric cable to the car battery. It automatically cuts off when only 11 volts are remaining and recharges when the car is driven.

Depending upon the size of your car, you also have an option to expand the system by opting for a portable toilet, however, it is certainly model specific. Moreover, curtains can also be fixed at the back of your car to enable you to have a sound sleep. Currently, available only in Europe, the designers have tried to keep it much affordable than other such standard living systems with a price tag starting at CHF 8630 (about $10,177). For those living in non-European countries, they can soon expect the SwissRoomBox to be available at their doorstep as well.

5 Most Ridiculous iPhone Apps Ever

The iPhone is one of the single most important technological inventions of this century.  There, I said it.  However, as with any great invention, (escalators, TV, the birth control pill) there are going to be some side effects, (obesity, How I Met Your Mother, Chlamydia…); the fact that anyone with half a brain can now develop an iPhone app means that the market stands the risk of being flooded with more and more absurd apps that serve little purpose other than to make people switch to Blackberry.  So, here's a warning list of the 5 most ridiculous iPhone apps ever!
1. National Threat Advisory – Free, Released: Aug 05, 2008, Version: 1.0, Seller: Daniel Eisner

"Welcome to a new kind of tension, all across the alien nation, where everything isn't meant to be okay..."

Striking paranoia into the hearts of simple-minded citizens everywhere, this app has recently reduced its price to 'free', ensuring that any American will know when not to leave their house and keep an eye out for suspicious characters.  With a National Threat Level barometer ranging from 'Low' to 'Severe' depending on the potential for a terrorist attack, this app has to be the clearest case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.  Hil-frickin-arious.
2. HelpMe – Free, Released: Aug 04, 2008, Version: 1.0, Seller: Matthew Chartier

Are three numbers too many to remember?! Two of them are the same!

Should a terrorist attack occur, (and remember, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean that they're not living next door to you…), you may be in need of medical assistance.  HelpMe will dial the three emergency number, (yep, that's right '9' and '1' and then another '1'), for you, taking you directly to the emergency services operator, who is undoubtedly going to a bit peeved at taking your fourth call of the day because you leant on your iPhone again.  Unless you keep this app on your home screen, (increasing the chances of accidentally leaning on it), it will take more effort to find it than to actual dial the three digits.  IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY, JUST DIAL THE NUMBER!

3. Pull My Finger - $0.99, Updated: Jan 04, 2009, Current Version: 1.0.1, Seller: Mike Bouchard

enturies of innovation have led us to ...this.
If you pull the finger pictured on the app's screen, your iPhone will fart.  Future versions promise more varied fart noises.  Surely this isn't what Steve Jobs had in mind when he first started designing one of the greatest technological inventions of this century?!


4. Kiss Me Thru The Phone – $1.99, Updated: Apr 06, 2009, Current Version: 1.1, Seller: EpicTilt

One positive element of social networking is that it allows you to interact with members of the opposite sex, flirt with them and eventually meet them for a date.  Let me repeat that last part: MEET THEM FOR A DATE.  Call me old-fashioned, but if I met a girl on Facebook and we hit it off, I wouldn't want our first kiss to conducted physically via my iPhone.  Kiss Me Thru The Phone loads a picture of your beau onto your iPhone and, after holding down the 'Kiss' button, then encourages you to plant a smooch on your screen and send it your virtual lover.  The only rating on the Apple website that is above '1 star' is a chap called BloodyGuts who opines, "This app is totally worth $2! Once I realized you can resize & rotate everything, it made it 10 x's better! I wanna kiss this app thru my iphone (no homo)."  Which I think says it all.


5. iGirl – $0.99, Updated: Dec 15, 2010, Current Version: 2.5, Seller: Resistor Productions, LLC

Oh dear, oh dear.

The sort of guy who would rather kiss his iPhone's screen rather than a real girl would actually probably quite like iGirl; you can control a 'beautiful' 3D female model, making her perform all sorts of actions, (no, not those sort of actions, seriously guys!), that involve 'no nudity or bad words'.  Words fail me.
