Dyson's latest Cinetic Big Ball is the only vacuum that self-rights when toppled.

Dyscon's latest Cinetic Big Ball vacuum can self-right itself when toppled over. While other vacuums tip over and stay down. The Dyson Cinetic Big Ball canister is the only vacuum that self-rights when toppled. Dyson engineers made this possible by assembling the vacuum’s components in a spherical array, with the heaviest nearest to the floor. Placing them inside a curved body with a low centre of gravity means that whenever the vacuum is knocked over, gravitational forces will automatically return it to its upright resting position.

The NFC Ring, a Visa-powered payment ring, is making its way out of the Olympics and into the hands of the public. The ring, which was used by some of the athletes at the Rio Olympics is now up for pre-order. This accessory gives its users a more convenient way to pay for things at stores. Since the Olympians were inspired by the creation of the NFC Ring, it’s built to be water resistant for up to 50 meters and doesn’t need charging. It draws a bit of power from the payment terminal, just enough to make the transaction. The ring is available for £39.99 (roughly $60 CAD) and is expected to ship by December 2016.

Toronto-born Abęl Makkonen Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, gives us a sneak peek (or listen) on Instagram of the new music he’s working on. While there are no lyrics to it, you get to hear The Weeknd’s distinct vocals and instrumentals we can say are distinctly his. The Grammy award-winning singer is said to be working on his third studio album and is rumoured to be working with Daft Punk this time around. There is no official announcements about a new album but we are keeping our fingers crossed for it.

You do see a lot of in-studio photos on his Instagram so we are hoping a new album does drop soon.
