High Tech Computerized Contact Lenses on the Horizon

November 23, 2011 by noemi

People who have perfect – or near perfect – vision might take their eyesight for granted. For those of us who have had to wear corrective optical equipment for practically our whole lives, the story is a totally different thing. I have been wearing glasses since I was in third grade, and if I could afford it, I would have gotten LASIK a long time ago.

Glasses can be cool, but they can also be a hassle. Thank goodness for contact lenses. Then again, there is the issue of hygiene and prolonged wear. Contact lenses do offer convenience, but it also means a little more taking care of your eyes. [Read more…] about High Tech Computerized Contact Lenses on the Horizon

SUR40 Touchscreen Table Computer

Remember that awesome table (cum computer) that Tony Stark had? I bet you’ve wanted one ever since you saw the movie. I know I have been lusting after it. Then again, the same can be said of Iron Man himself. But I digress.

Your dreams of a touchscreen table computer is becoming reality, albeit falling way short of what Iron Man had at his disposal. We have heard of surface computers before, but the result of the collaboration between Samsung and Microsoft might just blow everything out of the water!

Ferrari Coffee Table

November 21, 2011 by noemi

I dream of one day driving a Ferrari. Or even just ride in one. While I am at it, I might as well dream of owning one – until something pulls me back to reality.

That is why looking at this Ferrari coffee table pains me. It is the work of industrial/interior/graphic designer Charly Molinelli, who seems to pride in his work. I guess, from one point of view, this is art. And after all, not everyone gets to have a Ferrari – not even a wrecked one, especially not in one’s living room!

The TARDIS Fridge

I have been a bad Dr. Who fan; a “fan” who is so behind episodes she only remembers the scary angels anymore. You know what I am talking about, right? While I haven’t been watching Dr. Who for a while now, I am pretty sure I’ll pick it up again some time in the near future. Especially after this recent discovery.

Seriously Whacky Themed Restrooms

November 17, 2011 by Brittany High

I like to spend as little time in the bathroom as possible, sometimes I’m trying to get out of there so fast I forget to flush! On the other hand (speaking of… I didn’t hear you wash your hands), my boyfriend imagines it his own Fortress of Solitude or something. He camps out in there for hours until his legs go numb. For those of you who like to hang out in the doo-doo chamber, you want to make it as inviting as possible. It’s all about the ambiance. Here are some Seriously Whacky Themed Restrooms. Take a PEEp!

Pink Floyd and Sting Biography Apps

November 17, 2011 by noemi

There are days when I am on an app rampage and start my day by looking at what can be downloaded for free or for a small fee. Occasionally, I come across a relatively pricey app that I might still consider getting just because I think it’s worth it. Some things I haven’t really paid much attention to, though, are apps from artists that I like.

Today, I had a pleasant surprise while browsing TUAW ((TUAW)). Two of the artists I never hesitate to listen to have released biography apps! News about Pink Floyd and Sting biography apps – how’s that to make one’s day? [Read more…] about Pink Floyd and Sting Biography Apps
