Ever wished you had a copy of Wikipedia in your pocket? To be fair, as long as you have a reasonably recent phone, a data connection and a few minutes you can pull up the mobile version of the online encyclopaedia, but if you’re more interested in an offline version then the WikiReader might appeal.

As someone who was banned from even considering bringing an automatic donut machine into the kitchen, you can’t begin to imagine how impressed I am with the ChefStack automatic pancake machine. Capable of producing 200 pancakes per hour with minimal human intervention, the ChefStack works from pre-filled bags of pancake batter fitted with special nozzles.
