We slept until 11:30 this morning and it felt oh so good. Now the A/C is cranking and we're just basking in the glow of our stellar week of posts. Here's a roundup of this week's fave readings on Unp...
We haven't kept up with the Plex (aka OSXMBC) development lately, but it seems like they're still hard at work on developing the most awesome OSX media center open-source interface ever created. Now, ...
A while back, we asked whether you used computers in the kitchen. The majority said yes so when we came across this touch screen PC in Flickr we had to share. Nicely recessed into the wall, with a wir...
Robin Carpenter has created a chair that covers almost all bases - read, eat, watch television, and work. We left sleeping out on purpose because we're unsure about the ergonomics of sleeping in a fet...
With so many new Belkin products announced in a such a short amount of time, we're having trouble picking favorites! However, for those who want to utilize networked storage devices to share across th...
Calling anything a "commuter" accessory automatically means it's going to be thrown around, stepped on, and dipped in muddy waters. Fortunately, the Rickshaw bag comes strong and sturdy, with strap an...
Being a collapsible LED lantern, it fits perfectly under a bed or in a backpack and offers up to 12 hours of illumination. Also because the lamp weighs in at only 4.8 ounces and is completely weather ...
That's right kiddies (or kitties), it is time for another fun DIY! Now if you check back a few posts, you might start to notice that analog audio is a little hobby that we indulge in every now and...
When it comes to home theater speakers, there subwoofers and then there are subwoofers. While the picture above looks more like a creatively shaped, unfinished basement, it is in fact a subwoofer...bu...
Another great find from Range...

It's hard to find a TV that doesn't scream cold and modern! Those attributes work if you have a cold and modern home, but if you're more Shabby Chic than Design Within Reach a telly can look out of p...
Netflix strictly streams videos, iTunes progressively downloads movies so that you can start watching while it is downloaded, and now Amazon enters the fray with a new Video on Demand service. The mai...
Taryn tells it straight - we're Apple addicts and we can't get out.
We know that Unplggd is littered, if not dominated, by Apple addicts. If you're one of the lucky ones that managed to get your hands...
AT&T in Manhattan. iPhone Temporally OUT STOCK. Must have been a crazy day....

Oh, the possibilities! If you live in a sketchy part of town. If your landlord seems less than savory. If your roommate likes your clothes. If gum keeps mysteriously getting stuck under the coffee tab...
Normally we wouldn't necessarily promote the use of a gadget for something you could easily do yourself with minimal effort. But we've noted that friends and acquaintances often mention their horrible...

One from Taylor.
We've blogged many a time about the new (or newly ridiculous) problem of laptops that get uncomfortably hot (here and here to link a few). For those who want immediate relief without...
Range takes a look at the coolest alternative keyboards.
Since the first computer was booted, we've been using keyboards to input data. For most of us, they remain the one and only way to input info...
Instead of showing the remaining battery life and shots left on the LCD, the upcoming Samsung NV9 camera shows information on a mini dashboard (complete with fluctuating needles) on top of the camera....
I have my TV mounted on the wall, and thankfully Sharp was smart enough to place the HDMI ports such that a pivoting HDMI cable was unnecessary. There are other situations where I wasn't so lucky....
If you've got it flaunt it? Instead of exposed wires being the ugly functional bit that we try our best to hide, Joris Laarman has taken a similar approach to the tangled wire lamps and 8am lamp wit...
A wonderful find by our girl Taryn. How are you guys enjoying her style? Do let us know!

Did you know that PB Teen has an "iPod Friendly" section in its accessories section online? Remember when Pottery Barn was just leather couches and wood coffee tables made fun of on Friends? Times ar...
Desktopography is an online collaborative group of artists and talent across the world who've set out to do one thing; make the greatest nature-based wallpaper pack on a yearly basis. This year is esp...
Some good ol' offbeat news from Taryn. A haunted iPhone, who would've thought?
Either Steve Jobs has added ghostly apparition to his resume or this haunted iPhone is a hoax. We're thinking the latter,...

If you think about it, we're all on our computers a lot. We know that for us, our computers are on pretty much 24/7. Sure we put our laptop to sleep in the evenings, but that's really not a HUGE powe...
While we love our Flickr photo viewer, there's sometimes when we just really wish we could view things a little bit bigger. Luckily, Blow Up has given you the ability to do just that - just enter your...
With a number of recent criticisms weighing down on Sony's Playstation about losing exclusives and firmware troubles, it's good to hear they're still somewhat trying to get their feet back on the grou...
Here's one from our man Taylor.
We've all known the joy of test-driving new system software, but Apple's iPhone 2.0 software update takes it to a new level.
Although we love the variety of applica...
I have never been a morning workout person. I have tried it a few times and the mix of half awake and weights over my head just didn't feel like a good idea. So needless to say, the thought of the Sha...
Who has been eating my bananas? I just bought them! We all know the feeling. However, now there's something you can do about it. D-Link's new Internet Surveillance Starter Kit (DHA-390) will allow you...
A case study within Terence Conran's 2006 book How to Live in Small Spaces. The teak room divider acts as both a partition between the living room and bedroom, as well as a storage unit for the TV an...
By accident a few weeks ago we stumbled upon photos on Flickr of miniature modern interiors. We became obsessed with the subculture of people painstakingly building mini décor constructed using a sc...
Fans who enjoy music as if they were there, the Auxout speakers may just be the set of speakers you've been searching for. Well, at least that's what reader Hannah Howard suggested to us. The Auxout f...
Normally we don't see descriptions like "powered by four D-cell batteries/110 V adaptor/12 V car adaptor" mentioned in the realm of BBQ grills, but that's exactly what the makers of the Woodflame Port...
Retro goodness. If you already have the duck hunt lamp, the old school Nintendo theme can continue with the Super Mario Bros or Donkey Kong wall graphics....assuming a retro Nintendo themed room woul...
So it seems like there are more HDTV's than people looking to buy, resulting in some upcoming price cuts. First up, Mitsubishi, Sharp, Panasonic and Samsung. Click through to see some before and after...
Sony's VAIO line has always been impressive, often becoming the balance between Apple laptops with their 13" varieties. This year is no different, as they release an array of newly redesigned and rena...
Dear Unplggd,
Do you have any suggestions for a sleek looking recharging station for my husband and my phones and iPods?

At Microsoft's press conference at this year's E3, the company sounds like they have teamed up with the boys at Netflix to deliver instantaneous movie downloads via online queues right to your televis...
Interesting find by Taryn... We'll file this one under "Who buys this stuff?"

Domino must have gotten the bug too, as they feat...
Electronic House magazine posted this DIY outdoor theater project, all put together for less than $260. With some eBay shopping, some dumper diving recycling, and some hand-me-downs from relatives and...
Ok, so being a fella, I had somewhat of a recollection about the fact that makeup has an expiration date. What I didn't know was that ladies (and perhaps a few gents) keep their makeup in the fridge t...
The first thing that came to mind when I saw this was massaging sandals. Seriously. You know those flip flops with the sole covered in rubber nubs that work your feet while you walk? Who knew that cou...
On Friday, the kids over at Maximum PC accidentally leaked photos of the super secret Microsoft mouse in the works -- we never thought we'd live the day when a mouse design was under lock and key. Th...
If it looks like a laptop case, and feels like a laptop case...it might actually be a cord organizer. We have accumulated quite a few cables over the last little while. Various types of USB cables for...
Though the rumor has been flying around for a while, we have yet to see an actual design for the suggested "Google-phone" until recently. Supposedly a design group by the name of "Ammunition" (who hav...

From our man Taylor.
We all owe something to Moore's law, whether it be laptop-parboiled thighs or the ability to run Crysis at 3.75 frames per second. It's been bandied about that the next big lim...
