Washing machines that somehow remove the odors and spots from your garments sans the use of water have been around the block a time or two, and while we’ve heard a mad scientist claim that he discovered soap-free cleaning, it’s Haier who’s making him look brilliant. The detergentless WasH20 reportedly works by breaking down water molecules into OH- and H+ ions, and while we hardly recall the last chemistry course we took, we suppose we’ll believe the claims for now. Apparently, the stains on the linens are “attracted and retained by ions of OH-, while the clothes are sterilized by the H+ ions.” Word on the street has this one landing in France soon for around €699 ($957), but don’t be surprised if your threads come out of the wash mutated, vaporized, or worst of all, smelling exactly like they did when they went in.

For most of us level-headed citizens, we’d probably straighten up our act if a GPS bracelet was strapped onto us by the boys in blue, but for a certain Southern California parolee, his skewed judgment recently got the best of him. Just months after a pilot program was instituted to hopefully deter ex-gang members from committing more crimes, police were able to easily track down and apprehend a 37-year old who was eventually arrested on suspicion of armed robbery and parole violations. San Bernardino police Lt. Scott Paterson was quoted as saying that “you’d think somebody with a bracelet wouldn’t do anything,” but apparently, there’s more than a few individuals who just don’t mind learning life’s toughest lessons the hard way.
