These MyCuppa Mugs brilliantly solve the age old question of ‘how much milk do i put in my coffee/tea?’. Available in tea and coffee variants, the mugs come with colour coded guides on the inside to help you mix your drink to milky perfection everytime. For those who drink the abomination which is 3-in-1 coffee, for the love of God please stop and get this. Retails for £10.00 at SUCK UK.
The Lifesaver bottle might not be new (released last year), but its technology is definetly cutting edge. Using fancy filtration techniques that I will never be able to comprehend, the Lifesaver manages to filter out bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and all other microbiological waterborne pathogens up 99.9%. Just dip the Lifesaver bottle into a stream, pond or any body of water, screw the base back and use the built-in pump to force the water through the 15 nanometer holes of the carbon filter.
Retailing at £195.00, this isn’t going to solve water problems in the developing world but it’s still a step in the right direction. And yes, we’ve already considered the fact that you could drink your own pee with this.
Neither the face nor the name will ring a bell, but his work is instantly recognisable. Under Steve Jobs, Ive’s designs were able to turn Apple around from struggling computer firm to industry player. Even the Queen of England has acknowledged his innovation awarding him with the title, Commander of the British Empire. Yes, your iPod was designed by an Englishman.
Ive had his start designing bathroom appliances until he got a job with Apple. His career languished at Apple until Steve Jobs returned at the reigns in 1997 and shortly after that, the first generation iMac was born. Do you still remember the first time you set eyes on a candy coloured iMac? The rest, as they say, is history.

With world food prices skyrocketing, city farming seems like the next logical step to make sure urban communuties are self-sustainable. Fresh produce from skyscrapers may not be as far fetched as you think them to be. Not only will they supply food, living next to a garden skyscraper may be an enticing addition for city residents. The idea is to build self-sustaining structures to generate more energy, water and food than their occupants would consume. Check out more mind blowing designs at the link below.
