While we’re on a remote control kick, we’d like to take the opportunity to introduce you to our favorite product for the summer so far, the RC Cooler. With a range of 30 feet, the collapsible radio-controlled cooler can carry up to six chilled beverages across the pool deck or your living room floor, meaning you’ll never be more than an arm’s reach from your next drink. The RC Cooler just became available for purchase and is priced at $69.95. We can’t wait until a beach-worthy version is introduced. But, until then, we’re cool with kicking it pool side with this personal remote controlled waiter.

Everything in the crib is going remote control, from the whirlpool bathtub to the massaging toilet. So how are you supposed to keep all of your remote controls straight? Art Institute of Pittsburgh student David Chacon has conceived a practical solution: the Thync Universal Remote. The concept is similar to a universal remote that you’d use to control all the gadgets in your home entertainment system, except the Thync can control virtually every electronic function in your pad. Tuned to work at different frequencies, the Thync works with home electronics, kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, garage doors, and just about anything else you can point a remote at. While Chacon’s universal home remote is still a concept, we expect to see a similar production model come out in the near future.

The Japanese are famous for their high-tech toilets, like the Regio Jazz toilet we showed you back in April. NCM’s new remote control Blooming Bidet isn’t quite as crazy, but it’s definitely a more practical Japanese luxury toilet. The Blooming Bidet is not just a bidet like the name implies, but rather, it’s a toilet with a bidet built in. A remote control that comes with the toilet allows users to adjust the intensity of water spray, warm air dryer, seat warmer, and massage settings. The toilet also comes equipped with an LED underwater night light, a pressure sensor, and analyzers that monitor your feces for signs of sickness.
