If you haven’t yet noticed; we here at BoobNewb love vending machines. We love them because they provide goodies in a quick and timely manner for lazy people like us. In North America, we’re pretty tame when it comes to vending machines. In countries like the Netherlands, you can get fast food meals out of vending machines and in Japan they sell everything from shoes to women’s panties in vending machines. We simply sell chips, chocolate bars and on the rare occasion a nice bagel or sandwich. There are many companies and entrepreneurs that are trying to find new ways to use vending machine technology to enrich our lives. Here are a few neat concepts surrounding vending machines that you may see being used in the near future.

This vending machine is used to charge up electronics such as PDAs , MP3 players, cell phones and other such electronic devices.The ChargeBox offers a solution, which consists of 6 small lockers, each with 4 unique chargers that can power 90% of our mobile devices.Many airports don’t allow the recharging of electronics due to energy consumption concerns so this vending machine is designed to allow users to pay a fee and have their items recharged for them in about one hour’s time.

Motorola has come up with a great new vending machine that offers cell phones and cell phone accessories to users in high traffic areas. It can be a pain in the ass to have lost a cell phone or charger and have all the electronics stores closed. This option will allow users to purchase these things in case they ever run into a situation like this where they need a cell phone or charger right away without hesitation.

So Far-So Good. I usually wait some time to discuss electronics reviews because it usually takes some time practicing with a unit to understand what it’s all about. Unlike most Microsoft bashers out there; I decided to give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt and see for myself whether the product was all hype or actually delivered where it said it would. Let’s get down to the basics.Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is Microsoft’s ps3 and PC killer. It came out with a humongous advertising campaign and came out probably a bit early to try and beat Sony to the market first. This rush caused a handful of hardware glitches for consumers which sadly was to be expected when trying to rush a product to the market as quickly as possible.Here’s the highs and lows:

Highs:

Stylish Design
Great interface
Powerful Hardware Slick Controller
Nice variety of games
Strong Online Play

Lows:
Too much hype for its own good
Price
Upgradeable electronics needed
Useless Extras
No next-gen media format included
No killer App. yet.

Let’s get right to it. The system is bashed by some but others like me have grown to enjoy it. It’s white and shiny and trying to copy Apple’s Ipod look. The other neat part is that you can customize it with face plates. While someone like myself might not enjoy that type of thing; I applaud Microsoft for at least trying to make the system customizable and for attempting to get girls into the system who might enjoy changing the design of the system around. The system’s interface reminds me less of Microsoft and more of Tivo with its easy to use guides and colorful display settings. The weight of the system (which was a problem with the original xbox) hasn’t seemed to change as it’s still quite heavy to lift up.

In episode 2., we showcase some of the most relaxing tools out on the market today. These items will surely aid any lazy person in getting a good night sleep, waking up on time or simply just relaxing while surfing the net or watching tv. Here’s our recommended guide to relaxation in no particular order.

Stretching Human Touch Robotic Leather Massage Recliner with Calf & Foot Massage

-I believe the title explains this chair right away but let’s look at some of the chairs features.It realistically mimics the in-and-out, up-and-down movements of the arms, hands, wrists, fingers and thumbs of a skilled — and tireless — massage professional. You can also adjust the size of the chair to fit your height and weight proportions so whether you’re a big man or a small man, you can’t go wrong with this chair.

Laptop Lap Desk

-We like this little item for anybody that owns a laptop. It’s lightweight, portable and can help you relax while trying to hold that heavy laptop of yours in your lap in a crowded or busy area with no tables available. It also is designed to push the heat of your laptop away from your crotch which can only help men not lower their sperm count in the near future.

Contour-Foam Silver Neck-Support Pillow

-There are many good pillows out on the market, but we chose this one because of its support for the neck and head which is very important as well as its ease to come apart and be thrown into the washer. Its anti-mite, anti-mold and anti-microbe usage also helps those like me who have allergies and don’t wish to fall ill from their pillows. (more…)

Every so often we like to recommend things that we think our audience will enjoy. This article happens to deal with things that we hope get across our message of laziness a bit better. We have created a list (in no particular order) of things that we feel will help make us a much lazier society and will help make our lives a little bit easier one day at a time.

-The first item on our list comes from our favorite robot company, Irobot, who have designed a new robot called Scooba. A scooba will assist humans with washing, scrubbing, and drying the floor for you. There’s no need to do any washing anymore as this robot will clean underneath tables as well as any hard to reach places that you can’t reach by yourself.

-The next item on our list is for that lazy person who can’t seem to be able to find the remote control or is simply too lazy to get up to turn the t.v. off. The TV-B-Gone can turn off virtually any television on the market with the click of a button. It’s perfect for turning off your own t.v., causing havoc at the local electronics store or simply ringing in the new year.

-Another perfect favorite of ours is the Roll Bar – Mobile Refrigerator. This is a portable refrigerator that can stay unplugged for up to 5 hours and can hold over 50 cans. It’s the perfect portable device that you can bring with you to any part of your house or while relaxing poolside with some friends. (more…)

I thought we’d place this article in the food department since it does technically deal with food. While surfing the net I’ve come across many different gadgets that deal with food that help to make our lives much more easier. Some have been important and others are downright weird. Here’s the first volume in a series of simply lazy boobnewb food gadgets to help make our lives less lazy one step at a time.

-I’ve seen electric toothbrushes but why not electric forks? This little twirling spaghetti fork spins for you and helps to twirl your spaghetti so that you can eat it in a lazier fashion. All you need is two AAA batteries an you’re all set with this little puppy.

-I love soft drinks so this little device certainly helps myself and I. It’s a sprout that attaches to the top of a 2L soft drink bottle and can be used for watering purposes in your home garden. Since most of us on this site don’t garden ; we’ll consider it a very large straw for us to drink our favorite beverage with. Cheers.

-When I was younger, I used to have a small, nice little lunch bag where I would place my sandwich, juice and granola bar inside. These days I use the trusty designer sandwich container to make myself be the coolest kid kid in the cafeteria. With this little sandwich container I can enjoy my lunch and look cool eating it at the same time.

-Sometimes i’m so lazy that I can’t give myself the will-power to go downstairs to my bar and fix myself up a drink. This is why I’ve decided to go and get my very own portable bar for the lazy bar owner out there. Now I can sit at the comfort of my armchair surfing the web and making myself a drink all within 5 feet of each other.
