The use of planet-harming gadgets has made our carbon footprints into carbon giant-footprints. Any possibility to reduce this must be done it seems futile to completely give up the use of necessary gadgets.

The Carbon Dioxide Scrubber is a device that would make you breathe a sigh of relief, and for two reasons. Created by David Keith et al, the Carbon Dioxide Scrubber gulps in carbon dioxide and purifies it, giving you cleaner air and thus, reducing your carbon footprint. The device has intake vents which pull in the impure air and lets out the purer air through its exhaust vents. Powered by kinetic energy, the Carbon Dioxide Scrubber can be worn on your wrist so that every movement would keep the gadget going. The Carbon Dioxide Scrubber has also been nicknamed eCO2 and is designed by James Kershaw and Chad Garn.

Apart from displaying the time, the amount of CO2 removed would also be displayed along with other details like battery life, date, and mode. A price is not available for the eCO2 as yet, so this gadget may just be a concept at the moment.

You may have the personality, demeanor or the perfect business suit to bring on the Wall Street geek look. But it will never be complete without a classy briefcase or attaché to complement everything else. Thankfully, Thom Browne did not merely have the bespectacled Wall Street types in mind while designing this luxury attaché, but also aimed for the product to be used by the working man who’s looking not only for class, but a long-lasting product of superior quality too. The beautifully crafted attaché-case in black has a timeless look (suited for all international markets) and is made from the finest of leather. The very thoughtful use of heavy duty canvas and brass hardware adds a nice touch to the design too. But the feature that truly makes it stand out from similar products is the red, white and blue striped cotton lining interiors, which also creates the perfect contrast with its lustrous black exteriors. Exuding a classy elegance that most male (and female too) onlookers would envy you for; it can be yours for $ 6040. Via Selectism / AcquireMag

ADOTAS — I’ve become a big fan of

The company had experimented with audio ads in 2007, with apparently bad reviews. But the ad I heard about the television program Lie to Me wasn’ that bad. It was short enough for me not to get annoyed. The company says, “we try to be extremely respectful of your listening experience, & promise to be prudent, adding, “please keep in mind that you can subscribe for $36 a year to get Pandora ad-free.”

Their listeners, incidentally, are the stuff of marketers’ dreams: between the ages of 18 and 34, tuned-in, savvy and with money to burn. Their advertisers include Procter & Gamble, Microsoft and Anheuser Busch. But though the company has raised about $20 million in venture capital so far, its ad revenue hasn’t kept up with its growth rate. Let’s hope this new wrinkle keeps it going.
