Folks are salivating at the thought of playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, but the new game it comes with? Not so much. But if you purchased the disc-based version of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare in the hope of playing Remastered and s...
If you’re in a warmer climate at the moment, we’d like to invite you to take a look at your air conditioner. If you’re like most people, it’s one of those window-mounted boxes, utilitarian in its design. Utilitarian is just a tactful way to say ‘ugly’, but hey, you have to stay cool, right? Well, the Noria Air Conditioner begs to differ. At just 6 inches tall, the unit is designed from the ground up to look good in your window. It blows cool air upwards, creating a convective cycle in your room that prevents hot or cold areas. At 5,000BTU/h, it’s powerful enough to cool a 10’x16′ room, or two Noria units can cool a room up to 330 sq ft. And like many appliances these days, it can connect to your smartphone and allow remote operation of multiple units simultaneously. Early Bird pricing is $249, and with 43 days to go and more than half-funded, we expect the company to be able to meet its goal. If it does, you’ll then have to wait until March 2017 to get your hands on yours.

It’s only fitting that we wind up the year with truly deserving cherry-on-the-Yanko-cake designs! You know how there’s that one spot in the house where you need Wi-Fi the most, but you don’t get it? There’s nothing more frustrating than having Wi-Fi but not having Wi-Fi. What if you could carry your Wi-Fi with you wherever you went? Instant connectivity made portable. Sounds like something from the future? The Halo S Router looks like Google’s Onhub, but it does what no router has dared to do before. It conquers the problem of portability. The Router has detachable discs on the top that can be removed and carried and placed at various points of your house/studio/office/space. These discs act as wireless range boosters…or in short, where the disc goes, Wi-Fi goes. Orient as many as 3 discs around the weak spots of your home for full-fledged Wi-Fi connectivity. Until Li-Fi takes over!
