Scotch Flex & Seal Shipping Roll

Cool inventions

3M believes its Scotch Flex & Seal Shipping Roll could replace shipping tape, boxes and packing peanuts altogether. The roll comes in four sizes of waterproof, cushioned material and-with 3M’s proprietary adhesive material – sticks securely only to itself. Simply cut to fit around your item, and seal. But reducing packaging, it cuts waste and shipping costs and could mean fewer delivery trucks on the road, but that’s being too optimistic.


Ridiculously expensive gadgets

Square Off Grand Kingdom Set

There are a bazillion ways to play chess, the game of kings, from ultra-cheap to inexpensive apps. But if you want the highest-tech method – one that involves a magnet-powered rosewood finish board moving full-sized pieces, while you monitor gameplay with an app on your smartphone – you need the $449 Grand Kingdom Set from Square Off. Use the app to play with people in other locations while you watch it play out locally, or play against the computer at up to 20 levels of difficulty.
