Can science help you scoop your ice cream?

Who doesn’t love ice cream? There are so many flavors and combinations to choose from, it’s hard to think that there isn’t something out there for everyone. The hardest part, quite literally, is when you’ve just pulled the ice cream from the fridge and want to scoop it immediately, but can’t because it’s almost rock solid. You can stick it in the microwave for a few seconds, or run the scoop under some warm water, but it’s still going to be a bit of a challenge getting everything just right without it turning into soup.

If you’d rather use a little science to make this task easier, then a thermo-ring heated scoop with a non-stick bowl can help with that. The ScoopThat! II uses a transfer of heat from the biodegradable liquid in the handle, and uses a thermal ring along the top edge of the scooping bowl. This means you can glide into the ice cream regardless of how cold it is, and then put it in your bowl without it sticking to the inside thanks to the non-stick scoop.

It’s made of a food-grade aluminum alloy and polypropylene, and will cost you $24.95. Since this is merely a transfer of heat, you don’t need to worry about replacing batteries or charging anything if your sweet tooth acts up. This is a bit over-the-top for getting a perfect scoop of ice cream, but if eating this particular treat is a regular occurrence in your household it could be worth the money.

Razer’s NZXT S340 custom-designed PC case

When it comes to the world of gaming peripherals, you can bet your bottom dollar that one of the very top names that will come across most peoples’ minds would be Razer. The company has certainly left quite an indelible mark in the memories of many, from their Naga Epic Chroma mouse all the way to a variety of keyboards and mouse mats. This time around, Razer has dived into the world of PC cases, and the Razer NZXT S340 custom designed PC case is quite a functional looker, to say the least.

Boasting of an all-steel chassis that is certain to deliver a message to everyone else that you are serious about your PC gaming hobby, the Razer NZXT S340 is part of the “Designed by Razer” licensing program, which is an initiative that opens the door for third-party production and sale of Razer-designed and -branded PC cases.

The NZXT S340 – Designed by Razer PC case will also sport the signature Razer green triple-headed snake logo right smack on the front panel and the cable management bar. Despite the relatively compact form factor that sees it being 2″ lower other towers in the market, it will sport a Razer green power LED and underglow.

Among the other hardware specifications include a PCI slot base cover for a flush look and funneled airflow, Razer’s signature green USB 3.0 ports which are sure to up the ante by a mile when it comes to the cool factor, a tinted window panel within the all-steel chassis, a grommet-less cable management bar, and an integrated PSU shroud that delivers an ultra-clean build. It does not matter if you are a seasoned professional or a beginner, the Razer NZXT S340 PC case will be very easy to work with. The asking price? $99.99 a pop. Any takers?
