Happy post 4th of July! Hopefully you pyros have all your digits today! We knew someone long ago who lost a few fingers playing with fireworks and became the subject of a Rescue 911 episode. Not some...
We have seen our share of cruel alarm clocks, but this one takes the cake. So much so that we would probably wake up before the alarm went off out of fear and the thought of humiliation.
Known as th...
Thoughtfully designed, the Atlantico 023 Bureau desk includes a right surface that can fold up and hinge into a stand-like position allowing post-its, the ability to write with a dry erase marker, and...
That's right, get online not in line. While the restaurant in question, Momofuku in NYC, doesn't try to stand out as a high tech restaurant in the sense of being filled with touch screen tables or rob...
It's hard to come up with a person who still relies on landlines to keep in touch with all the cell phones out there right now, but there's apparently still a market out there that General Electric ha...
Over at ATNY Jill points us to one of Apartment Therapy's most valuable players, Curtis. The man behind the house that's not only been featured in Apartment Therapy Presents: Real Homes, Real People,...
When I have been involved in brainstorming sessions at the office....or a heated discussion anywhere near a computer for that matter, Googling something is inevitable. Whether is to prove someone wron...
After reading into Tom's Hardware's extensive tests looking into proposed power savings of these new flash-based drives of the future, they made a shocking discovery. Despite the overall performance g...
We know what's really been holding you back from building a wind energy farm in your backyard is the fact that turbines clash with the rest of your décor. Well, Philippe Starck is here to rescue the ...
Though we were excited to hear the Playstation team was working on making our pricey PS3 investment worthwhile by adding a slew of new features requested by the community, it seems they've run into a ...
While Flickr browsing, we happened to stumble upon a number of Craig's wonderful Macbook Air wallpapers (all of the wallpaper resolutions are 1280 x 800). Through sheer diversity, bright colors, and s...
In terms of hygiene, we'd say the the auto-sensing bathroom faucet is right up there with the auto flushing toilet/urinal. And despite thoughts otherwise, it's really the faucet that's got more cootie...
The Ikea Lack shelf seems to be a popular choice for adding custom doors. I even did it for my own fan cooled media unit. If you want a different look from sliding doors though, tambour doors are ano...
In keeping with this month's green theme, we found ten amazing items on Etsy, some of which are made from recycled or repurposed items. There are CD holders made from old calendars, USB drives made f...
While this appears to be a concept or one off at the moment, we are always interested in more options for LED powered desk lamps....
At first glance, it looks like any other relatively-upscale design that may or may not break the bank. That's what we initially thought, too, until we found out it was from a Walmart series called "St...
We've seen quite a few different type of USB memory designs, but never in porcelain before. These beautiful (and perhaps a bit delicate) porcelain 1 GB memory sticks are handmade in Germany and curren...
Branching from the standard earphone designs, GreenHouse has created a very unique design for their newest line of earbuds with a body of a pig that seems to go from the right ear into and out the lef...
An on switch and a small speaker housed in a small yellow box. By taking broken bits of records and connecting them together, this little box not only follows the track, it plays back the music throug...
Modding PCs and customizing peripherals is a thing we love here at Unplggd, but when we saw this leopard PC mod, we thought, when have you gone too far?
While absolutely impressive in its craftsman...
Living in tight quarters does not mean you must have televisions and computers laying all around (though that kind of sums up my apartment in a nutshell). Why not hide all those bright screens with an...
Summer's a great time for one's biggest steps in life; the big "M." Yes, it's funny that we should mention marriage on a tech blog, but there are tons of photographs taken on that special day, which i...
Looking a bit like something we might see in a scene from a Soul Calibur title, the Geobulb is definitely the coolest looking LED lightbulb we've yet to see. Besides its future-organic fetching looks,...
Congratulations to VeronicaLodge who has won our Acton Manila Pro giveaway! We don't want to receive any emails from jealous Bettys out there- Ronnie won it fair and square and the fact that Unplggd ...
It's the first of July and that means one thing: updates all around! With this latest Playstation 3 rollout, there will finally be an in-game XMB for PS3 games, on-the-fly Bluetooth adapter setup, tro...
Your mobile phone as a personal shopping assistant? That is what a supermarket in Germany is doing right now. While we are all familiar with the self serve checkout aisles, this supermarket makes thos...
Considering we spend a considerable percentage of our lives lying down in bed, one could assume making your bed as clean and allergen free would help overall health. One of the worst culprits for aggr...
Although Linksys Linux-based Tomato and DD-WRT firmwares (used to give routers speaker powers for speed monitoring, traffic controls, and tons of other options) have been around for a while now, Netge...
Oh hellz ya! This Ikea Billy hack has our DIY loins a quivering!
More info after the jump......
It's been pretty horrendous here in New York of late. Hot and humid -- the ultimate combination for a sweatathon. While holding off on turning on the A/C we've been looking at Dvice's round-up of sev...
I have a spot in my front yard that would be perfect for this bench, and with the hot weather lately, sitting outside under a tree would be much nicer than the sweating it out inside. Traditional park...
The 08 Radio by Mikael Silvanto is a nice spin on a radio, turning it into what people would normally use as a precision calliper tool or something from a doctor's office. However, because it looks so...
This week we begin a new daily feature titled, Final Frame, a visual conclusion to the day's posts which represents the inspirational, aspirational or just darn amusing in the world of home decor and ...
Another update along with featured workspace by Mondopiccolo. This round of upgrades include a ton of bug fixes for Airport performance, Adobe Suite integration, iCal, Safari, Exposé and Spaces. We a...
The beauty of the Mac Mini is its minimal form factor and quiet operation. But even being so small, we've always prefered to keep our computers hidden from view if possible (yes, even Macs), mostly to...
While the innovative YSP-600 was just cranked out a few months ago, Yamaha's looking for even bigger (and pricier offerings) for the consumer market who just hates wires (us). The YSP-3050, Yamaha's l...
Wow! We never thought of using marble as a home office tabletop, but how elegant does it make that iMac look?! Man, you could feel high brow reading Perez Hilton if you were parked at this desk!...
The versatile STOLMEN system at Ikea has always been a favorite. With all the different bits and pieces you can configure it to be a a room divider, closet, or entertainment unit. While visiting Ikea ...
With three cats it's almost a second job to keep hair off all our gadgets -- we won't even show you what was happening under our keys when we scrubbed down our keyboard. That's why we think investing ...
Robotic dogs, sunglasses with a built in radio. It would sound like I am talking about Sony's Aibo or Oakley Thump sunglasses, but I'm not. In fact, what I am talking about goes way back to the 1960's...
Recently featured on Time's 50 Best Web Sites of 2008, including one of the top user communities, is highly active designer resource COLOURlovers. Whether it be for ad campaigns, product design, archi...
Those in need of mood lighting, but can't afford crazy price tags for built-in units, the Mathmos Poplight has you covered. Going at six inches in height and made of hand-blown glass, the LED bulb in ...
Um, so we have a lot of remotes -- one each for our Pioneer amp, Philips DVD player, Samsung TV, and our Macbook. We lost our first Macbook remote when one of the kitties hid it somewhere, and well, ...
