If you didn't know better, you might say that Secret North designs fireplaces, but what it designs are places
for fire. Its aim is to integrate fire into interior design - much like
water has been integrated with water walls and bubbling indoor ponds -
not for its heat, but for its beauty. Because Secret North uses
bio-ethanol to burn, its fires don't spark, they are clean burning (smokeless!), easy to operate, and very low
maintenance.

With all the analogies of Steve Job's to God and Moses (see "Steve Jobs & The Ten Commandments,") it was no surprise to me that the iPad product placement would pop
up on TV - sort of like the Deus
Ex Machina device
originated by Aristostle in
early Greek theater.

While Google is the number one global leader in search engines,
ironically, new findings show that the keywords 'Google Buzz' are being
searched less and less with each passing day - while the search results
for the word "Twitter" remains constant. Since Google Buzz was supposed
to be Google's answer to social networking and based on its sizable
Gmail user base, does this research portend an ominous future, or will Google Buzz Superstar find a means to 'resurrect'
itself?

You can put bacon, eggs, and sausage back into your diet, according to
a new study published in the International Journal of Obesity... as
long as you eat them for breakfast. No, really; this is not an April
Fool's joke.

As ubiquitous as Apple is - it's still always wise for buyers to be
aware. Like the iPod and iPhone that preceded it - sometimes it's best to
wait for the first run's critiques before blindly jumping into the
buying frenzy. To that end, here are ten things to know before following
'Pied Piper' Jobs off the proverbial 'first adopter' cliff.

On Tuesday, March 30 at precisely 1:06 PM in Geneva, Switzerland,
scientists revisited our distant past. It only took 16 short years and a
paltry $10 billion dollars to recreate the conditions similar to the
original Big Bang that occurred some 13.7 billion years ago and is one
of the major scientific theories behind the creation of life as we know
it.

Wetnoz makes upscale pet products, mostly dinnerware, and mostly for
dogs. Its wares are well made and very stylish, as you would expect
from an upscale designer. Now, styled just like the fancier stainless
steel bowls in the Wetnoz Metro Line, Wetnoz has styled the new Scoop n' Serve
bowl without the steel liner to make the scoop dish much more
affordable. You'll be glad, because the design is darn cool and
convenient.

The GGRP
Group knows and does sound - sound design, music production, voice
directing, casting, music, script writing, and audio post production.
And if that's not enough, they've invented a box. No, no ordinary
box... it's a corrugated record sleeve, that doubles as a
record player. After all, you probably don't have one of those any
longer... if you ever did.

The blogosphere is alive and well and at 133 million (and counting) as
last reported by Technorati, it
doesn't look like its going to go away any time soon. Blogs, often
described as the 'democratization of reported data' allows journalists
to contribute to public debates, whether InventorSpot is covering a geeky gadget, a
social media phenomenon or an innovative philosophical idea.

Promoted as the 'lifeblood of agrotourism,' by Dwight Schrute, the
eccentric paper salesman played by Rainn Wilson on the award-winning NBC
series, "The Office," Trip
Advisor gets free publicity for a B&B that doesn't even exist
-- to the tune of over 633 reviews (and counting). There's very few
hotels in Manhattan that can garner that kind of attention.
