Over 2500 years ago someone wrote on a tablet, in cuneiform, that “Everyone wants to write a book.” Mind you, that person was including that as evidence that “the end of the world was approaching.”  

Today, everyone does want to write a book, or release an album, make a film, start a business and so on. Luckily, now we have ways to self publish. And better yet... if the cost is beyond what we can handle, we have website to find help with making our dreams come true. Here are a couple projects E-junkie thinks are worthwhile (and worthy of your support).

9 out of 10 people are caffeine addicts and believe it or not, caffeine addiction is the worst of all addictions. It might keep you all charged up but it has its own side-effects.

Well, one thing for sure you can't just stop drinking coffee, call it psychological but we all are dependent on it. Our day can't start without a cup of coffee and you can't keep going, doing your daily chores without the caffeine intake. So what do you do when you're working hard on avoiding having too much of coffee but still need the extra energy that it gives you?

So you have to leave the town urgently for two days and your pet-sitter is not available and adding more to the trouble, there's no one available to look after your canine partner. What do you do, cancel your trip or leave your pet home alone?

In a situation like this I personally would advice you to go for PetziConnect by a San Jose-based company Petzila. Though a concept for now but would be a life saver for pet owners if it hits the market.

One of its kind, PetziConnect is a device that plugs into a wall outlet and allows you to see and hear your pet while they are at home alone. the device even allows you to dispense treats for them using the Petzila website or app.

This amazing device is named after the company's purple mascot, Petzi (as you can see in the image above).

When it comes to smartphones most of us think of the sleek design or its usability quotient based on the inbred services it allows a user.

But have we imagined or rather re-imagined the transformation of the QWERTY keyboard innovation in it?

Most obviously no. Why? Because we enjoy the regular staple style typing methods.

Now imagine this: How would it be if smartphones allowed users to type sloppily yet send out the correct message or response?

A Toronto-based company, Whirlscape has just performed this feat. The tech start-up has developed a one-dimensional keyboard-Minuum, that "frees up mobile screen space while allowing fast, accurate typing."

Orapup: A Startup Story

Posted: 3/01/2013
Our start-up story of the day is a tale with humor and interesting twists.

Orabrush is a startup invested in improving the personal hygiene of people. Founded in 2009 by Dr.Bob Wagstaff, he spent over $40,000 in its adverstising campaign to end up selling only 100 pieces in the beginning. Like most startups they had no backers.

As a last ditch effort, Dr.Bob approached a research class at Marriott School of Management, BYU, looking out for a business strategy. He stumbled upon his future team - Jeffery Harmon, Austin Craig(journalsim student), Joel Ackerman(script writer) and Devin Graham(film major) here. Together, they shot their first Orabrush video film that became an instant success. So the star in the show was YouTube for them.

The next twist in the story came when the customers demanded that the company create a tongue cleaner for dogs. Consumer choices can be really weird at times.
