Cool Tech - I C Can

I C Can the world’s first self-refridgerating beer can --  not to be confused with ICANN now meeting in NZ.

Orb

Orb appears to offer a Slingbox like service without the box -- and says it is free. Slingbox should hurry with its PAL version lest users outside the NTSC countries turn to Orb or Honest TV.

Jajah - Call back for VoIP

Hop255 has written about JaJah before without great to do. But their new service has a wonderful simplicity. Simply enter your own telephone number along with the party's number you want to call and Jajah calls both numbers to establish a connection. The first 5 minutes is free and then rates apply that are reasonably competitive depending on destination.  It will appeal to users without a multi-media PC/microphone and who do not want to download software. Reminds Hop255 of callback!
