How cool would it be to have Samuel L. Jackson wake you up every morning with his trademark yelling?

Unless you’re his kid or his wife (or mistress), the only way you’ll accomplish that is with this Ventriloque alarm clock. You can record any sound into the alarm, which will play back at the specified time.

Although it does look kinda goofy and costs around £60, being shouted at by Jedi Master Mace Windu every morning more than makes up for any supposed deficiencies. – Jason Chen

I hate hunting like some desperate junkie for a car parking space in town. It’s stressful, makes you unfairly hate all other drivers – especially old people - and for what? A piece of goddamn tarmac.

The French, well-known for their patience, have come up with a potential solution. Parisian drivers will now be able to check for car parking spaces in real-time via their mobile phones or GPS sat-nav device.

The system, backed by Orange, SFR and others will monitor 120 public garages in the capital and allow people to find the nearest and how many spaces are free in real-time. Now, that is useful.-Martin Lynch
