Crowdfunding project of the week: GearEye keeps track of all your equipment

There’s plenty of innovation sprouting from sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, but we all know these crowdfunding websites are also full of nonsense. This is why I have created the ‘Crowdfunding project of the week’ series, where we highlight only the hottest tech in this category. Shall I get started with this week’s feature?

Today we are taking a look at GearEye, which is a small device (also comes in the form of a phone case) that will help you manage and keep track of all your expensive equipment, gadgets and accessories.

GearEye keeps track of your belongings by using RFID. These films are called “GearTags” and simply adhere to all your belongings. These are super thin, last years and need no batteries, making them a great solution for this task.

The concept is simple – GearEye simply keeps track of GearTags around it. You can use the app to label what each tag is attached to. Users will get an alert when a tag is no longer within bounds, and it will also help you locate it. One can create lists and decide which products should be carried around or not. The app will also alert you when you have unnecessary baggage you should probably leave home.

Though this was made with photography in mind, we can see it being used in all aspects of life. Us tech enthusiasts would probably benefit from it. I often forget my smart watch, for example. Or I go on trips without my headphones. And of course, let’s not forget chargers and other tech necessities. GearEye would help us organize this messy tech world.

But is it cheap? As it turns out, the price is fair and definitely accessible. You can get a GearEye and 20 GearTags for as low as $129. It’s a good deal considering this bundle is expected to retail for $199, but you do have to wait until July 2017 to see these products shipping.

Would any of you benefit from something like this? I certainly would. You have no idea how packed our bags get when covering tech events. And I always happen to lose something.

The Secret Science 02:The 30 Most Disturbing Human Experiments in History

Disturbing human experiments aren’t something the average person thinks too much about. Rather, the progress achieved in the last 150 years of human history is an accomplishment we’re reminded of almost daily. Achievements made in fields like biomedicine and psychology mean that we no longer need to worry about things like deadly diseases or masturbation as a form of insanity. For better or worse, we have developed more effective ways to gather information, treat skin abnormalities, and even kill each other. But what we are not constantly reminded of are the human lives that have been damaged or lost in the name of this progress. The following is a list of the 30 most disturbing human experiments in history. 30. The Tearoom Sex Study Sociologist Laud Humphreys often wondered about the men who commit impersonal sexual acts with one another in public restrooms. He wondered why “tearoom sex” — fellatio in public restrooms — led to the majority of homosexual arrests in ...

The Strange and Stranger Case of Wyndham Lathem

A Northwestern University plague researcher has been charged with a brutal murder. Here’s what we know about him. WIKIMEDIA, TONY WEBSTER O n July 27, The Chicago Tribune reported that there was an arrest warrant issued for Wyndham Lathem , a microbiologist at Northwestern University. The crime Lathem would later be charged with was brutal—26-year-old Trenton James Cornell-Duranleau, whose body was found in Lathem’s apartment, had been stabbed dozens of times. But Lathem was nowhere to be found. As events unfolded over the following days, it became clear he had fled from Chicago to California with a second suspect, 56-year-old Andrew Warren, a University of Oxford employee from the United Kingdom visiting the states. Along the way, the two men apparently made an anonymous $1,000 donation in Cornell-Duranleau’s name to the Lake Geneva Public Library and another donation for $5,610 to a Chicago health center. Lathem had also sent a video to fa...

Popular painkiller doesn’t have more heart risks than others, study claims

NEW ORLEANS — A long-awaited study on painkillers called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the most widely prescribed class of drugs in the world, has concluded that the three most commonly used carry a similar risk of cardiovascular complications. Yet critics say the study was too flawed to fairly compare them. Concerns about a type of NSAID called COX-2 inhibitors peaked in 2004 when the drug Vioxx was withdrawn from the market — a decision steeped in scandal because manufacturer Merck & Co had initially hidden data that would reveal the drug’s cardiovascular risks. A second COX-2 inhibitor, Pfizer Inc.’s Celebrex, was allowed to remain on the market with the condition that Pfizer conduct a study to prove that Celebrex was no worse than two older NSAIDs, naproxen and ibuprofen. The study lasted 10 years and enrolled more than 24,000 patients, but faced challenges. Doctors in European Union countries would not participate because they were worried a...
