A very artistic concept from designer Lee J. Rowland aptly called "The Big Time".  Originally in silver, but gold was the right color after a makeover from the people of Gold Striker.  For the size it is now you'd think it must weight a ton... but it's not, but still heavy at 180 lbs.  This baby is, I believe, made for the rich and famous at a whopping price tag of US$43,150... yup, definitely not for everybody. The Big Time displays in digital format, so no moving clock hands.  General Specifications: Table equipped with ultra slim utility drawers and progammable L E D clock. Seconds and date viewed with touch buttons ...

Are you losing precious desk space for your additional PC toys?  Sure, you've got a huge desk and for now it all works well.  I think you need to check out the Ultimate Gaming Table below.     This set-up keeps all your gears within reach and looking really cool.  Top shelves for those three LCDs (gaming, work and the MTV channel).  And check out the second shelves, your blue tooth keyboard mouse and that gaming wheel for those lazy kick back moments. This is sold here  and surprisingly for just US$379, initially for Continental USA at the moment. If you have everything on eye level, you'd definitely appreciate this table to boost everything to visible access.  ...

  Ok, I tried to ignore this post from DVice, until I saw that tech blogs I follow are now giving it the limelight it deserves (?).  I think it's not a big "thing" but after pondering my thoughts a bit, hey this might really have some relevance in the world geeks live in.  Answer me this question, sure geeks and books are closely knit... "but do you still find geeks in the physical library?" and "do they need a 'gadget' to follow them around?". I'm answering a big fat "YES!". Geeks still do the library route, and when they do, they need that first class seat that shouts "Geek's ass here!" (pun intended). It's a robot chair designed ...

This is an awesome furniture concept by designer Takeshi Miyakawa.  Really cool for urban living geeks who'd like to squeeze every square inch of small dwelling/living areas.  It would make a good conversation piece as well when you host those Jengga parties. LOL. Check out the designer's page here, and a post from another tech blog right here. Originally dubbed as Fractal 23, probably because of the fact that there are more or less 23 "ports" or drawers from this cube.  As a blog aptly puts it, the only problem is that this space-age furniture should be placed in the middle of the room.  It's definitely not a corner piece, sad to say.  Does it rotate ...

From Artecnica (http://www.artecnicainc.com/).  All I can probably say right now… “Great idea (!) why didn’t I think of that!  Further down the thought bubbles, again I said “Ah!  It’s from the Japanese!”.  Design by Takeshi Ishiguro, this “gadget” comes in two forms.  One depicting an old century design table lamp clothed in red and emitting a warm cozy light that just beckons you to open that brandy and smoke a Cuban cigar.  The other form is of a Moscow-like street lamp with a bright white 5-piece led light to show.  Let me take you to the inventor’s description of these babies: “The ultimate illuminated manuscript, Book of Lights’ pop up protagonist emits a tabletop warming glow. A wonderfully crafted ...

When it comes to electronics, never, ever, ever, buy anything that’s not an industry name. Especially if it’s an electric fan or a laptop computer. I just deeply regretted buying a Marubishi electric fan. Apparently, it’s Asian. It sounds Japanese, right? When I checked the box, there was no “made in wherever” label. I looked for anything that resembled printed material. In my search, I found the warranty card. The only address there was a Philippine company. Hmm. Fishy, fishy. I then realized that the Filipinos acknowledge that when an electronic device is made in Japan, it’s bound to be of high quality. Ooh. Figured. But the reason ...

One of the things I've experienced recently is the real issue of not having a television. This is at least in part due to my moving house - my old set is a great Samsung widescreen, which is neither plasma nor LCD. This CRT beast has remained at the home of my parents, simply because I've never managed to have the energy or the will to go and collect it. One of the good points about this is that I've not been kept up far too late watching rubbish on television in my bedroom. Don't get me wrong, I still have a television to watch, but it's in the living room. I still tend to catch good ...

Star Trek fans rejoice. "Surface" has been unleashed, Microsoft's fancy nombré for the years-old-kept-secret project-turned-platform-turned-hardware cheekily manufactured in the traditional Apple closed-system delivery of hardware+software to achieve the most oomph effect. The idea is you have a touch-sensitive display spanning the breadth of a small meeting room table. Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer demo-ed at D: All Things Digital Conference. A phone was put on the surface (pun not intended), and you get an image of the phone and item details onscreen. It's as if Surface scanned the item and recognized it.

And recognize it did. I get all psyched ...

It seems the most unlikely products want to be iPod-compatible. That's how powerful the Apple iPod brand has become: it's now a selling point for companies wanting a little boost in their sales.
