Envelope X-RAY Spray ($16) turns opaque paper temporarily translucent, allowing the user to view the contents of an envelope without ever opening it. 30 seconds after the application, the envelope will return to its original state, leaving absolutely no markings, discoloration, or other indications of use.

Whoa – it’s the property tax thing. I’m not opening that.

Result.

Irish Times and technology.

No wait, come back.

Geoffrey Keating, of the Royal Irish Acadamy, writes:

Thought you might be interested in the free app, ‘The History of Ireland in 100 Objects’ we released [with the Irish Times and the National Museum of Ireland for the EU 2013 presidency] this week. Based on the weekly series of articles by Fintan O’Toole in the Irish Times, the app takes users on an interactive tour through Irish history, with each object opening a window on to an important moment in Ireland’s past.

What you might need to know:

1. Matthew McConaughey is now officially The Man. Start with The Lincoln
Lawyer (2011), and go from there.

2. McC and his amazing ass were robbed of Oscar nominations for Magic Mike (2012).

3. He’s got a HBO series in the can, a cop buddy drama co-starring Woody
Harrelson that will presumably involve a lot of drawling. They’re like
a buff Cheech And Chong.

4. He’s also in the next Scorsese movie.

5. Mud is a little indie from the guy who made the awesome Take Shelter (2011).
Reese Witherspoon’s in it too, but that’s OK. She gets a career-long
free pass for Election (1999).
