Did you ever need to grant someone access to your home without your presence? If it was planned ahead, you probably ended up hiding a key somewhere outside and if it wasn't, it can be tricky. But Lockitron changes that.

Now wherever you are in the world, you can remotely lock or unlock your door, share access to your home with anyone, get notified if someone unlocks (even with if they use a standard key) or even knocks on the door! And if you're the type of person always wondering if you did lock the door on your way out, you'll be relieved!

Lockitron is even more. Thanks to the embedded Bluetooth 4.0 system, it redefines keyless entry. Now, as you walk towards the door, it will recognize you and unlock it automatically for you. And as you're walking away, it will lock by itself.

Lockitron can be controlled with any smartphone via the mobile website and even with older phones through text messaging. And unlike regular keys, if you loose your phone, you can remotely change the password – no need to go through the hassle of changing the whole locking system.

MakerBot recently released the Replicator 2, an affordable desktop 3D printer capable of achieving high quality 3D models, up to 410 cubic inches in volume and at 100 microns layer resolution. With such precision, you'll be making fresh professional-quality models, that don't need sanding, right out of the printer.

The MakerBot Replicator 2 comes assembled and ready to use. Launch MakerWare or any of your favorite 3D modelling software and get started. 1lb spool of Natural PLA filament is included, and a variety of colors can be purchased separately ($43-$48 per kg).

The following time lapse shows the Replicator 2 in action, printing almost the maximum build volume at the highest resolution capability which ended up costing $33.60 of PLA yellow and taking 24 hrs to print – the longest a model should take.

It's your day off and the sun is blooming outside. You just want to sit, relax and enjoy the view but you can't help but notice that your lawn needs to be mowed. So why not take care of it while sitting on the front porch?

The Automower® Solar Hybrid by Husqvarna is the world's first hybrid automatic lawn mower partly powered by the sun. A solar panel extends the unit's action time before needing a recharge which reduces its electrical power consumption. And when it's time for a recharge, the Automower® automatically returns to its base!

Many smart features are included in this robotic mower such as a timer for automatic operations, a PIN code lock and an anti-theft alarm for increased protection and a three razor like cutting system for clean cuts.

We've all seen vending machines and beverage dispensers but nothing like you're about to see. The Inebriator is an Arduino powered cocktail machine that will make a perfectly mixed drink every time. You don't need to know the ingredients nor the quantities required – just pick a drink like you would do in a bar. Now, there are limitations because of the different spirits it can hold but the selection stays pretty impressive.

The Inebriator is a first prototype and is not for sale yet, but let's hope it gets into production sooner or later.

Watch this awesome machine in action!

Playing your favorite games or browsing the web while eating Doritos – it can get messy. It's hard to snack and surf without leaving crumbles all over your keyboard and ending with oily keys, but Logitech thought about that and came up with a washable keyboard – the K310. Now after every Doritos session, take your keyboard for a soak and voilà! Drainage holes will make drying easy and the laser printed, UV coated keys won't fade.

Even if you're an iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S III user, you might now rethink and switch. Joining the battle of the smartphones is the brand new Windows 8 powered Nokia Lumia 920. It features an 8.7 megapixels camera with PureView technology, which means blur-free images and video even if the camera is shaking (thanks to its Optical Image Stabilization and Carl Zeiss lens) and notably, the 4.5'' PureMotion HD+ curved glass screen – the world’s brightest, fastest and most sensitive touchscreen that even works if you are wearing gloves or have long fingernails!

Other interesting features are the Nokia City Lens that gives you details on your surrounding when looking at your camera's viewfinder, the Nokia Music that lets you stream music or download offline playlists for free – no sign-up and no subscription – and the Nokia Maps with offline availability and turn-by-turn voice guided navigation.


Battery wise, the Nokia Lumia 920 should give you approximately 10h of 3G talk time, 400h of standby time, 67h of music and 6h of video playback time. And it comes with the wireless charger!

No details on pricing and release dates yet, but this Windows 8 powered device will surely raise the smartphone bar and stand against the mightiest iPhone and Android kings.
