Lame Toys That Used to Be Cool

Please Let Your Virtual Pet Die

3 of 12

The virtual pet craze began in Japan and quickly swept to the United States in the late 1990s. While virtual pets were fun for a week or two, carrying around the little toy quickly became an annoying chore. Whether you had a Tomagotchi, Giga Pet, Nano Baby, or something else, you eventually learned that it feels a lot better to just let the pet die and get on with your life.

Lame Toys That Used to Be Cool

Furby Loves You...Forever

1 of 12

The people that created toy commercials in the 90s were absolute geniuses because every single toy and game just looked like so much fun! While some classic board games and vintage toys still have fond places in our hearts, certain toys were forgettable, dangerous, or just plain annoying.

The first and most obvious toy on this list is the dreaded Furby. This toy was obviously targeted at girls with its fluffy body and cutesy voice, but boys liked the high tech aspect of Furby's artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, this cutesy toy is only amusing for a day or two, and then it just becomes needy and extremely annoying. The only way to completely shut down Furby is to remove the battery, so most people simply shoved it in a dark closet hoping to never accidentally awake the dreaded little monster ever again.

Elegance Defined

This girls pose and demeanor are very elegant. 'Elegant' wouldn't be the word we would use for the screaming skull on her bicep, but it's still very cool.

Edward Scissor Feet

How much time have you wasted clipping one toenail at a time? You'll never get those minutes of your life back. But you don't have to waste any more.

Rotating Snakes

This image is called "Rotating Snakes". Stare at this for a few seconds. Do the circles appear to move? This is a motion illusion- the circles look like they're moving, but they're stationary the whole time.

Taylor Swift

One word? Wow. Taylor Swift has admitted to being an ‘ugly duckling’ before she became famous, but she needs to realize that becoming a beautiful swan only comes with age (and makeup, which obviously does wonders!). It’s almost impossible to see the similarities between these two photographs, proving just how extreme the singer’s transformation truly has been.

Unexpected Reply


Once upon a time........

A Child went to a shop with his mother.

The shop keeper looked at the small cute child and showed him a bottle with sweets and said 'Dear Child.. You can take the sweets...

But the child didn't take.

The shop keeper was surprised.. such a child he is and why is he not taking the sweets from the bottle. Again he said take the sweets...

Now the mother also heard that and said.. take the sweets dear.. Yet he didn't take...

The shopkeeper seeing the child not taking the sweets... he himself took the sweets and gave to the child. The child was happy to get two hands full of sweets.

While returning home the Mother asked the child...

Why didn't you take the sweets, when the shop keeper told you to take?...

Can you guess the response:

Child replies... Mom! my hands are very small and if i take the sweets i can only take few.. but now you see when uncle gave with his big hands.... how many more sweets i got!
When we take we may get little but when God gives... HE gives us more beyond our expectations. ..more than what we can hold..!! Stay Blessed..

The Cool House 2014 - New York City

June 18 2013

The Cool House, the first ever pop-up concept created and curated by The Cool Hunter (TCH), was an unprecedented run-away success at Pacific Bondi Beach(10 days), Sydney, Australia and at Rockeby Studios, Melbourne (4 days).


Close to 10,000 people attended both events. Media attention, both online and off, and the overall reaction of the public – both in person and online – was overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic.


To take advantage of the momentum and to realize the incredible HOUSE potential of The Cool HOUSE concept, TCH will now take this concept to the next level.

TCH will create a temporary pre-fab house, designed by an American architect and an American interior designer – selected though an invited architecture competition – and located in yet-to-be-determined spot  in New York City.


The house will be open for 2/3 months and celebrate a selection of items and their designers. The space will be personally curated by TCH, and include the most desirable and most covetable furniture and designer accessories for the home including fashion.


New global designer destination:

The Cool House will create an exciting new designer “destination” and draw attention to American architecture and design.

The global media attention for this exclusive concept will be unprecedented in part due to the unequalled reach of TheCoolHunter.net blog of more than 2 million monthly readers plus other social media outlets (Instagram 240,000 followers,twitter 294,000 followers, plus 210,000 readers-strong newsletter subscribers. The partners involved in this concept will together reap the benefits of their collective marketing power.

Shanghai Film Museum

June 23 2013

Should you be so lucky as to be asked to design a Film Museum, how would you feel? Most likely, overwhelmed. The many juicy aspects of the dream factory of film business make one’s head spin! The technology – from the first scratchy silent films to today’s 4D experiences. The genres – from drama and documentaries, to sci-fi and animated movies. And the intrigue and mystery of film as propaganda tool and promotional vehicle. The stars and the drama of their lives online and off. The various awards, the gowns and the glitter. Even the people behind the movie cameras – the directors, the movie moguls and the critics – all seem to carry an extra aura of glamour and fascination. Add to that the sets, the locations, the props, the car chases, cliff-hangers, fantasy worlds and the historical epics created and recreated through film. Indeed, no lack of material.


When Tilman Thürmer the German-born architect and founder of Coordination Asia (that we have covered before), was selected as the Art Director of the Shanghai Film Museum, he had “film” and “Shanghai” as his directives. No more, no less.


The Shanghai Film Museum
, opened on June 17 and currently hosting screenings for the nine-day 16th International Shanghai Film Festival, is therefore a highly commendable feat in its minimalist yet immersive approach.


It’s goal is to celebrate and introduce to visitors the past and future of Shanghai’s involvement as the centre of Chinese film. The 15,000 square-meter, four-storey building is located in a former film studio in downtown Xujiahui.



The new museum involves more than 70 interactive installations and 3,000 historic exhibits. The visitors can ad-lib for famous Chinese films in a real sound studio, walk the red carpet, or Carpet of Light, or learn about animation, post-production, sound and live broadcasting in fully equipped studios.


Thürmer chose light and shadow, black and white, as the main themes, with grays and metallic accents referring to the silver screen, the film equipment and the glittering awards.


We especially love Thürmer’s involvement in the other aspects of the customer experience as well, not just the design of the actual space and exhibits. Too often this is all left to the last minute and not considered important. Yet the visitor interacts with people and with the entire experience, not just the walls and “props.”


Thürmer’s role as consultant and art director was extended to the communication design and operations of the museum. He created a visual identity and a graphic design concept, and consulted the museum on selecting and training the right team.


“The opening of the new museum is the start of a longer development process,” Thürmer says. “The coming year will be about professionalizing operations, visitor services and management. To me, this museum can be considered a success when it stimulates a new generation to identify with Shanghai Film. I will be satisfied when I see young people leaving the museum inspired, thinking: ‘The Shanghai film industry, that’s what I want to dedicate my future to.’”


We love this kind of thinking

Moving Stairs

Oh no, this could be one of the most brain dead things you've read on Facebook. We can't even imagine someone believing that they're trapped on an escalator simply because it isn't moving - Perhaps this is a case of ultimate laziness, or this poor girl just really needs to attend school more...

Ziphius: The Aquatic Drone

Ziphius: The Aquatic Drone

The first app-controlled aquatic drone shoots high-definition video and recognizes objects

by Abbad in Tech on 26 June 2013

Aquatic DronesRemote controlledToysZiphius, Waterproof, Beach ToysGadgetsRobots

The Ziphius is the first tablet and smartphone app-controlled, above-water, unmanned vehicle. Complete with a 160-degree rotating, high-definition camera and image recognition software, Ziphius is designed for use in all aquatic conditions—from rough water in the open seas to your backyard pool. The friendly looking aquatic gadget recently launched on Kickstarter and we recently had a chance to get a first look at one of their rare prototypes.
ziphius-the-aquatic-drone-test2a.jpg ziphius-the-aquatic-drone-test1.jpg
The sleek design of Ziphius calls to mind a James Bond gadget with a sense of humor. With its two-propeller acceleration system humming quietly below the water and multi-colored LED lights as communicators (which also appear on the app), Ziphius lives by the nautical design philosophy that everything onboard must serve a definite purpose. Ziphius's dorsal-fin provides both stability in the water and also serves to extend its WiFi range to around 300 feet. Meanwhile, a low center of mass means Ziphius always rights itself—even in breaking waves. "We had the most fun testing it in the surf near our offices," says Edmundo Nobre, CEO of Portugal-based Azorean, Ziphius's parent company.
The device is much lighter than one expects. An Extended Polystyrene Styrofoam (EPS) removable top piece coupled with a durable plastic moulding keep the craft's weight down. The bright EPS pieces come in a range of colors to suit everyone's taste—there's even one with a drink holder for those lazy days by the pool.
ziphius-the-aquatic-drone-app.jpg
Ziphius—named for a whale common in the Azores, where the gadget is developed—operates on a sleek and simple app. With a live-feed from the craft's onboard high-definition camera, one of the app joysticks controls the speed and direction of Ziphius while another controls the direction and mode of the camera. Ziphius has the capability to share still photos on the fly via Twitter and Facebook while a higher-definition 1080p video is stored in the craft's onboard eight gigabyte hard-drive. The 160-degree rotating ability of the camera is one of Ziphius's strongest features (in addition to its speed and maneuverability), allowing for a range of angles below the water, at water level and shooting upwards. This especially comes in handy for those looking to film sports such as surfing and sailing without leaving the beach.
ziphius-the-aquatic-drone.jpg
Under the deck, Ziphius is equipped with a Raspberry Pi core along with a few other device-specific circuit boards. Ziphius's computing ability really puts its camera to work. Using the app control, Ziphius can even be trained to recognize objects and follow them—so you can put on your brightest swimsuit and see if you can out-swim it. Though, with a top speed of six miles per hour and a full charge lasting about an hour, we're guessing you won't be leaving Ziphius in your wake. Despite all of the existing features, Ziphius's developers are continually developing new augmented reality games and applications for their innovative creation.

A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” @Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You are employed.” He said.” Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.” The man replied “But I don’t have a computer, neither an email.” I’m sorry”, said the HR manager, “If you don’t have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn’t exist, cannot have the job.” The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the Operation three times, and returned home with $60. The man realized that he can survive by this Way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. 5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US . He started to plan his family’s future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied, “I don’t have an email”. The broker answered curiously, “You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?!!” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy @Microsoft!” Moral of the story: M1 – Internet is not the solution to your life. M2 – If you don’t have internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire. M3 – If you received this message by email, g+, facebook then you are closer to being an office boy, than a millionaire. ………
