A sheet of cardboard, perforated in such a way to make it easy to wrap around an item, all the time protecting it from damage during shipment. But that’s where the good idea fails. Pl... |
| 07.04.2010 | Yanko's camera concept protects the delicate bits | Yanko is known for their off the wall concept products that never actually materialize. Why do we tell you about them? Because my boss tells me to write them up. Maybe he hopes that someday, one of these products will actually exist. Becaus... |
| 05.04.2010 | This Nintendo 3DS concept looks like a DS and PSP offspring | We’ve always admired the PSP‘s sleek exterior, but loved the DS’s fun games. We’re weird like that. But maybe, although it’s highly unlikely, the next DS incarnation will combine some of the PSP’s trademark style with the DS’s functionality... |
| 02.03.2010 | Concept watch tells time with frikkin' lasers | One look at what this watch does will tell you that it’s just a concept, and will most likely never see the light of day (no pun intended). The Aurora Watch was designed by Jihun Yeom, and features a hollow face that makes it look like you ... |
| 10.02.2010 | Combination lock USB drive doomed to stay as a concept | When I first saw the picture of this USB drive, I immediately thought, “Why am I being assigned to write about a pregnancy test?” Then I actually realized that it’s not a pee test, but rather a really bad idea for a secure USB drive.
Secure... |
| 28.12.2009 | "Rambler," another dubious but perhaps useful socket modification | The common wall socket is, despite what you may think, a very well-engineered piece of work. There’s no way to put plugs in wrong, there are no moving parts, it’s difficult to electrocute yourself, and they put through plenty of juice as we... |
| 09.12.2009 | Ruler Pen: wish I'd thought of that | Yeah… that’s definitely useful. I’ve got shaky hands because I drink too much coffee, so a pen with integrated ruler would be handy for all those… lines I draw. I expect I’ll be seeing these at Muji in a few months. |
| 30.11.2009 | Custom Band-Aid dispenser for those foot-long paper cuts | Although the concept here is good, I can’t help thinking that if you need a Band-Aid (elastic bandage, sorry) longer than an inch or so, you probably need something more than a Band-Aid. Except for things like grass and paper cuts, injuries... |
| 16.10.2009 | Say yes to double-sided condiment bottles | Oh Balloon Boy, your human interest story mesmerized us and gave us hope. But your misadventures lasted but a few short hours and like all minor celebrities, your fame is fading away like Marty McFly’s family members in that photo from that... |
| 19.08.2009 | Step-by-step kitchen timer helps terrible chefs suck less | I’ll admit it: as hard as I may try, I am absolutely terrible in the kitchen. It’s not that I can’t make things that taste good; give me some chicken and a slow cooker, and I’ll make tacos that blow your face off. But if you put me in charg... |
| 18.08.2009 | Someone needs to stop playing Shadowrun: New Orleans Arcology Habitat | I remember dreaming about living in an arcology while I read William Gibson’s Count Zero. I planned out elaborate arcology floor plans for various aborted Shadowrun campaigns. All the while, I knew these megastructures were things of scienc... |
