Conceptual Huggies TweetPee Device Alerts Parents When Their Baby Pees

Huggies TweetPee

Babies sleep a lot, cry a lot, and pee a lot. The first two are relatively easier to handle; at least you know something’s up because you can see them actually doing this stuff. But the peeing part, not so much. Of course, babies cry when they’re too wet for comfort, but what parents want it to reach that point?

Then along came Ogilvy Brasil and their Huggies TweetPee. It’s a conceptual electronic device that you’re supposed to attach to your child’s nappy. It’s built with a sensor that measures the level of moisture so it can detect when your baby has peed. The device then connects to an iPhone app that’ll alert the parents that their child’s diaper is ready to be checked or changed.

Unlock Your Doors With a Touch or a Virtual Key With UniKey

UniKey

People lock themselves out of their houses more often than you think. Being locked out of your very own home sucks and it’s a huge waste of time. There’s the matter of calling your roommate and asking him to bring the spare key; calling the super to let you in; or worse, climbing in through a window and having your neighbors sic the police on you because they thought you were a burglar.

With all this in mind, maybe it’s time we used something else to secure our homes. Of course, we’d still need a physical lock. But as far as keys go, Kwikset is setting out to change things up on this end with the UniKey.

Pizza Compass Shows You Where the Pizza’s At

Pizza Compass

Craving for pizza in the middle of the night? Searching for a quick meal to tide you over while you explore the city? You could try searching for pizzerias that are still open on the web or on your phone, but that could take a lot of time. It’s either that, or you could just fire up the Pizza Compass app and have it point you in the right direction.

It’s a hassle-free app that helps you find a pizzeria within a few seconds. All you have to do is fire up the app and tap the green circle beside the app’s name. The name of the closest pizza joint will then be displayed underneath the rotating slice of pizza on the screen. Mmm-hmm!

ThrowBack iOS App Gives You a Photographic Blast from the Past

Throwback App

People don’t really bother with time capsules anymore nowadays. If you like the idea but can’t make yourself go through all the hassles of putting one together, then you might want to opt for the easier alternative: ThrowBack.

It’s an iOS app that’ll let you take a picture and store it for future viewing. You can choose to have the app send the photo to you or to others after a certain period of time, from one month to five years. The image won’t be stored on your phone, but on the app’s servers somewhere on the interwebs, so it’ll arrive as a neat little surprise on the scheduled date that you’ve chosen.

The ThrowBack app can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store for free.

Sleep If U Can App: Take the Exact Same Picture You Set Earlier to Shut the Alarm

Alarm Clock

The mark of a good alarm clock app is when people hate it–because then, it’ll mean that it actually works. The newest alarm clock app making the rounds is called Sleep If U Can. It’s funny that they should pose that challenge, because I’m sure most people who get this app won’t be able to once the alarm goes off.

What sets this app apart from the rest is what you’re supposed to do in order to shut it up. There’s no snooze button or password to enter. Instead, you’ll have to get up and take the exact same photo of whatever it was you chose to set as your wake-up shot earlier.

Face Stealer App: Letting People Steal Other People’s Faces, One Face At a Time

Face Stealer

Eyes too small? Nose a little bit crooked? Cheekbones too high for your taste? Everyone has something to complain about how they look. Perhaps it wasn’t the intention of the Face Stealer app to make people feel better about their looks, but I think that’s what most people will end up feeling after they ‘steal’ a couple of faces and try them on for size using this app.

So it’s not the most sophisticated face merging app there is, but it does the job fairly well and it’s for free.

The Last Weather App Gives You the Forecast Like It Is

Authentic Weather

Everyone else who thinks weathermen should just tell the weather as it is, say “Aye!” For some reason, quite a number feel the need to take their sweet time when they’re talking about the day’s forecast. Normally, I wouldn’t mind, but if I’m already running late, then I’d like to at least hear what to expect before I rush out the door.

Maybe it’s because weathermen everywhere want more airtime or feel that it’s so important to tell you about the tides and the wind directions, but you don’t have to put up with all that anymore. Not if you’ve got the Last Weather app.

Spam Your Network When the Ball Drops With Facebook’s Midnight Message Delivery

Midnight Delivery

If you’re guilty of spamming your friends with random messages and basically useless mail this year, then it might be time to make a new year’s resolution to stop doing that in 2013. But before you do so, it’s time to get your last hurrah–and Facebook is going to make things easy for you with their new Midnight Message Delivery feature.

Of course, the point isn’t to spam them but to send them well wishes for the coming new year. It can get hard to tap or type messages one by one to all of the people you want to greet, so this app is basically the solution. Just pin the Facebook Stories app to your account, create lists of people who you want to message, and then compose your greetings. Facebook will take care of the rest and send them off to be received by January 1st, 2013.

You can check out the Midnight Message Delivery feature here.
