The brainchild of some clever (and beer-thirsty) engineers over at Yelp, the Kegbot is controlled by an iPad app that actually tells users what type of beer is available as well as what the temperature is.

You can use the Kegbot to see who has been drinking the most, and there is even a widget that lets you keep tabs on your beer when you’re not there. Check out the video after the break.

When in Starbucks, you need to order your coffee like all of the other Starbucks regulars, no matter how dumb it may seem. And though some may question the already questionable lexicon that is employed when ordering a “tall” cup of coffee, almost nobody questions it…until now.

Recently, an English professor named Lynn Rosenthal, was forcibly removed from a Starbucks after she was involved in an argument with a barista over her refusal to use the popular Starbucks jargon while placing an order.

Rosenthal was quoted as saying, “Linguistically, it’s stupid, and I’m a stickler for correct English.”

Apparently, Americans aren’t the only ones who enjoy greasy, flavorful chunks of baked dough weighed down in mountains of cheese and toppings.

Finally! Drinking glasses that encourage you to drink, eat and litter. The people over at The Way We See The World went out on a limb to design colorful drinking glasses out of agar (a gelatinous substance made from red algae).

The drinking glasses come in a variety of flavors and colors that range from lemon basil to rosemary beet, which will definitely give your beverage a kick. What’s even better is the fact that the cups are totally biodegradable as each one contains organisms that actually nurture the growth of grass. So, feel free to throw your drinks away after you’re done. Just make sure you miss the garbage can. No word on when, or if, they will become available to purchase though.
