This week we welcomed three trial bloggers, Taryn, Taylor, and Range (though we're tempted to nickname him T-Range to keep with the T theme). One of these bloggers ended up with a top ten post this w...
Keyboard Keys Rubik's Cube. This might be the only Rubik's cube vulnerable to viruses and crashes....
Hi again- last time we started building our Cmoy headphone amp in some leftover wood (green!) and this time we are wrapping it up so you can all see how it goes with the table. Well, feast yer eyez ...
Reader Amy sent in this question:
I have a living room that all my friends come over to hang out and study in. It just so happens that they always bring over their laptops. Is there a way to manage al...
Okay, I'm going to share some disturbingly shocking news: I have been without a cellphone since about 2002. The last cell phone I owned was the excellent Sanyo SCP-5000, and prior to that I owned the ...
For some reason we always thought our nasty air conditioner was a lost cause. This week though, New York Magazine shows us that there are solutions to hiding that big white mess......
A good idea - though one that I'll shamefully plug as something that's been in the back of my head for a while, but never matriculated into a product - is the VMOD car-mountable box that allows you to...
While only a concept, if this genius idea doesn't make it to market we may just riot. Just awarded ID Magazine's Annual Design Review award, the Light in the Dark is a window blind concept that turns...
Here's Taylor again with a tip on how to get your lazy roommates to chip in.
Passive-aggressive neat freaks, pack up your Post-it notes. Chore Buster is attempting to deliver home-task distribution ...
Man, why does Asia always get all the rad phones? Maybe we can get Range to buy us Samsung's new line of "Eco-Phones"? The W510, only available in Korea, is the first phone made using corn-based biop...
Just to get everyone up to speed, we would like to point out that Seagate has just announced another record-breaking jump in space as they cram the impossible - a whole 1500GB of data - into a 3.5" en...
Loud as in Hawaiian shirt loud. I don't have a sound studio at home, nor do I think I will be needing acoustic tile in the near future, but I do agree that if you do need to have it, it never looks go...
Taryn is comin' at you strong with more Unplggd-worthy coverage of your favorite dongle; the USB drive.
If you’re reading this right now, then you must not be a part of the throngs of people elbowin...
Let the Apple MacBook rumors begin! According to a Chinese blog, images of the next MB's casing have been leaked. The photos show a trademark aluminum Apple notebook enclosure that's slightly thinner...
Ah, to have the luxury of a backyard getaway. A home away from home to sit, think, relax....the manhut...
Though seemingly innocent at first, the release of the new iPhone tomorrow has caused our editors to stop playing nice and are now at each others' throats trying to convince each other whether the 3G ...
We have all heard of a home theater in a box. The one stop shop that consists of a DVD player/ amplifier combo, small satellite speakers and a subwoofer. Well Espon has taken the home theater in a box...
Um, we suppose it's never a good idea to operate electronics outside during a massive rainstorm. Just a thought... The lightening went through the camera operator's left hand holding the camera, cross...
I replaced the manual thermostat at my place a little while ago with a programmable one. Great for simply and easily adjusting the temperature based on when I am in and out of the house, but it left a...
We were absolutely blown away by the clever use of space by Purin Phanichphant when we found out he literally tore down an entire closet door during a remodel to make room for his office space and to ...
Oh, how it all comes together. I have had my doubts about AppleTV at first, but it looks like Jobs and the gang hasn't ignored the product at all. Now that the iPhone can communicate with it through t...
Would you live on the moon? Neither would I, but NASA seems to think that building an outpost on the moon is "an essential step toward eventually settling other planets". There is even a habitability ...
We remember when our mom forced us to take piano lessons. We hated it, but maybe if we were practicing on the AirPiano we'd be a little more into it...
...
Taryn's shows us how some creative lighting can definitely bring out the ordinary objects into a whole different world.
Just in case you’ve ran out of inanimate, otherwise un-electrical home décor ...
Here's Range again, giving us the scoop on shopping for cheap tech in Asia. This time he goes into the art of haggling...
...
Lady in Red, Little Red Corvette, and now there needs to be a song about the little red laptop and matching desk phone.
How hot is that desk? H-O-T! We never thought to match our gizmos. While it's...
Taken at an art installation in Munich, Germany in 2006, it's clear that technology, design, and the world around us continuously moves forward together. Sometimes, it takes an artist to remind us of ...
Our home theater relies on a single quasi-surround speaker solution mostly due to budget, but also partially because we hate the idea of running speaker wire willy-nilly across our small rental. Wirel...
Hey Unplggd readers, we know there's got to be plenty of you out there who've incorporated some eco-friendly changes into your everyday lives. Whether great or small, making changes in your life can a...
Here's another post from our man Taylor. Have a look at the smart designs from German duo Andrea Großfuss and Olaf Kießling of ...
The sad part refers to my own email inbox. 3147 unread emails out of 5345 total emails. No joke. Part of me says just delete it all, part of me is afraid that I am going to go looking for that email f...
We're huge advocates of biking. Unless you're going to Ikea, there really is no excuse not to bike to your next destination. In busy metropolitan cities it ends up taking less time to bike than it do...
Somewhere in Melbourne, Australia, a painter is hungry. His name is Satta van Daal and he will paint your retro Mac hardware that you want to toss into the dumpster. He'll turn it into a gem. A godly ...
One more introduction. Range is trying out to be our special correspondent from Asia. He's a Canadian splitting his time between Taipei, Taiwan and Quebec City, Quebec Canada. He has a photo project o...
The press release for U.S. distribution for D-Link's flagship media streambox has been announced fairly recently. Though boasting full support for the DivX and XviD formats through a slick interface, ...
We've blogged about Colourlovers before, but there was one feature we just discovered and wished we knew about before we painted our home "office"...
...
Perhaps more ohdeedoh than unplggd, but how about this for housing a TV in the kid's room....assuming that you agree with the kid's having their own TV....
Our candidate Taryn Fiol is setting off her trial run technological lovin'. Send her some love if you like what you're seeing!
We all know the frustration of having too many widgets and not enough of ...
Yes, yes, yes. We never thought we could get excited about a power strip, but man this has been a long time coming. Finally a surge protector that can accommodate large power plugs without forcing yo...
If you haven't seen Jacques Tati's Mon Oncle, run out and rent it now. A surprise clip for you after the jump......
To continue with introductions, our second trial blogger is Taylor Hokanson, who's helping us figure out just how much stuff in our home can be networked.
The basic concept of networked technology is...
Reminds me of a light bulb on a stick, but is definitely a much more stylish way of finding your way around should the power happen to go out in your space. What do you think?
Torch by Naoto Fukusawa...
This week we'll be introducing some possible candidates for new Unplggd bloggers. The first we're welcoming is Taryn Fiol, who is starting her week off with some green ideas for the tech home office. ...
Oh the Power Pad. What fond memories I have of this thing. Trying to stay upright as it dangerously slid around underneath me while I tried to beat my long jump record. Or extended time on my knees ba...
Though we've had this discussion multiple times before, Pico just delivered something that still makes us blink in disbelief. Behold, 8GB worth of flash memory into a tiny USB drive that's the size of...
With this month being green month here at Apartment Therapy, we thought we'd share some tips on how to make all your home's gizmos and appliances run a bit more on the eco-friendly side......
"Designed by Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway Pixel 4 is a much sort after wallpaper - in natural colours, the pixelation technique creates beautiful geometric patterns across the wall." Looks like the p...
I don't know what it is about digital picture frames. I have always liked the idea, but can't get over the fact that they still tend to look like the top half of a laptop is sitting on your mantle. No...
Reader Adrienne sent us in this question:
"I've been on the market for a set of relatively small speakers (from Bose-sized to bookshelf) for a new surround sound system I'm setting up in my living ro...
Back in 1985 LL Cool J rapped about how he can't live without his radio. We think that if he were to reprise that song in the day and age of the iPod he'd want to have this boombox on his now buff sh...
Michael Reynolds is an architect for our future. As we become more attuned to what needs doing to get our planet back in shape, we begin to unearth tech that has been here all along. There are liter...
Marketed as an eco outdoor light, we think the Firewinder is a little bit of a marketing stretch since its 14 LED lights produce the equivalent of a Burning Man attendee with nightsticks spinning arou...
We love working from home, but what would make our domestic workspace even cooler is if our home was a boat, leaving us typing away in a boat office (like the one above).
This little fantasy made u...
It has been quite a while since any new DVD cases have come into my home, purchased or rented. With Apple offering online DVD rentals and purchases, and Netflix teaming up with Roku to eliminate the...
Though it looks like tin, the Dualit Kitchen Radio actually is made of aluminum and features both DAB (digital broadcasting) and FM radio, as well as an axillary input for external music players. We'r...
This gaming hack reminds us of Gerald's PS3 DIY cabinet, but you know...a paired down version the rest of us can get our heads around.
Rather than dumping his broken Powerbook as e-trash, Frédéric ...
It looks like Laptop Magazine just countered Tom's Assessment not too long ago about solid state drives having lower battery life than standard hard drives with a new report stating that they are inde...
Turning a standard power plug into the shape of a ball takes guts, but making a total of 12 new power ports from one wall socket starts questioning one's reason. We understand it will probably save sp...
I am into tools as much as I am electronics, so just reading about the M-Spector by Milwaukee makes me want to run out and add this to my collection. Why would I need this? ...
It's a digital picture frame. A voice-memo station. A whiteboard. A calendar. The Audiovox Homebase strives to do quite a mouthful in a small little station. Let's see how well the Homebase puts up to...
Uh oh! Those space saving flat screens we all go gaga over may actually be way harmful to the environment.
According to a New Scientist report, nitrogen trifluoride, the gas used to manufacture LCDs...
