As the "Golden Age of Mice" is ushered in by the ever increasing intelligence of lab rodents, a special empathy is felt between our biological "test pals" and our electronic interfacers. Many of thes...
It's not everyday you meet a living legend in contemporary art. Shepard Fairey, the man behind the Obey Giant campaign and overtly political and music inspired pieces that have received recognition wo...
Remember all of those arguments you used to have about your ghetto blaster? Now you can put all of your neighbors to shame with this aptly called Block Rocker. It's a portable sound system and it's mo...
A few days ago, Sonia asked you about an Inspiration board that was similar to this workspace from graphic and web design firm Invisible Creature. The reaction? Not so positive.

The Wood LED Clock designed by Kouji Iwasaki takes the wood theme even further. We have seen wood used in similar fashion, but never like this. Wood was used as a case with the Furni Knox alarm clock....
*A touch of class*
Genuinely beautiful. This is the kind of object that you will see about twenty years from now in a dusty, 2008 issue of Architectural Digest, lounging lustily on some perfect pie...
Now this is some serious inspiration. Fifty-two German design students recently installed a temporary exhibit at Munich's Modern Art Museum called The Third Space.
The students built this heavenly...
Have you ever poked someone? Given a gift of a jeweled tiara? If you know what we are talking about, then you will appreciate this video by the comedy crew 'Idiots of Ants'. Love it or hate it, Facebo...
We love our Seagate FreeAgent Pro. It's roomy, fast, quiet and it has that Tron-aesthetic that wouldn't be out of place in a Daft Punk video. We also say that knowing the black and orange case complim...
We're mentioned Incase iPhone cases before, but it's their most popular case (the Slider Case) for their 1st generation that has been recently carried over to the iPhone 3G that we're most interested ...
Holy Eames-chair revival goodness! Oh, and the desk matches perfectly too! Malesca says he purchased the items from the online Retro store and the chair was curiously called, "The Charles Office Chair...
So you can't live without your iPhone and it is with you wherever you go? Why just use it to make phone calls and surf the web. Pull out that iPhone level and get building....
What do you keep on your USB flash drive? We only really keep it stocked with copies of whatever projects we're working on at the moment. In the life of a blogger, it's certainly not anything too inte...
With back to school starting relatively soon, pouncing on a few Apple deals may not be that bad of an idea. Here's a few goodies we were able to find.
Refurbished MacBook 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/1G...
The German high-technology giant has decided to try something green for its next series of telephone handsets. On top of that, Siemens is trying to make a bold and beautiful green statement with these...
Earlier this week Laure gave us the scoop on her felt iPhone sleeve by Red Maloo. We've been in love with it ever since we saw her carrying it around this Spring and it looks like Red Maloo has also ...
This is perfect for those that enjoy the look of animal cadavers but don't like to hunt. We kid, We kid. But seriously, this Moo Wall Lamp (Yes, Moo, not Moose) could be a cool addition to a modern or...
While there exists a slew of options available to stream content from your computer to your brand spankin' new LCD (here's just a few we've covered in the past few months: Playstation 3, Wii, and Mac ...
Is bigger better? When it comes to TV's that seems to be the mantra. In the last few years we have seen the price of 42" flat screen TV's drop and have that same price point filled by 52" TV's. In a y...
The graphics are '80s. The Web site is '80s. The clothes the model is wearing are '80s. Did we jump into a time warp? Probably, because no self-respecting millenial would invest in a keyboard so unsig...
You've spent a fair share of coinage for that beautiful new MacBook Pro or Sony Vaio laptop and now it's time to treat your new baby right and compliment it with a laptop sleeve or case with something...
Ok, we know the real reason you haven't invested in a flat-panel TV isn't because of the high price tag. It's because you're scared you won't have the mad skillz to mount the bad boy on your wall. We...
While the shirt itself has nothing to do with the home, we are betting that the graphic on the shirt is a very familiar one to readers of unplggd. The rear view of that stack of components sitting und...
"A superior and celebrated icon of lighting design, which is transformed into a cordless lamp when lifted from its charging dock"
While the Candela gives you a portable light source in a modern way, ...
Most smoke detectors are ugly. We're not trying to argue that. But we're just wondering if this solution, the Snap Alarm, is any better looking.
We're thinking that no matter how many different lamp...
iPod docks are a dime a dozen, but this is the first one that's in the shape of a pig. Halfway between a joke and being cute, the iPig does deliver a bunch of features for its small porcine size.

Over the years we've been a bit obsessed with home office set-ups. It's impressive how many different ways you can organize and decorate what's basically just a computer station.
After the break, we...
The only time we're monitoring our heart rate is when we're on the treadmill. That said, we're not really sure of the usefulness of this mouse. The Vito W1 from ASUSTeK is a wireless laser computer mo...
While the world watched in awe at the spectacular opening ceremony held this year in Beijing, China, we all were blown away by how much technology has allowed us to portray ideas and entertainment. Ho...
Look at it.
Black, red and menacing. The only thing that it won't be is hot. It's simply astonishing. Top of the line components won't last long unless they are properly cooled down. This incredible ...
AT Chicago showed us the Ikea PS workstation before and it was met with a pretty positive response. A cheap and compact workstation that flipped up to hide all your clutter? Hell yeah. But if the hig...
We saw a recent post on ATLA about welcoming smoking guests into your non-smoking house. While some of you thought you should ban the offending chimneys completely, others of you seemed willing to wor...
Aquariums are soothing and relaxing. Anyone who has seen one, knows how relaxing it is to watch fish swim around. When space is an issue, the interactive table comes to the rescue. More than a screen...
Of course, normal people don't need amplifiers. But what is normal? Settling for less? We don't think so. About the size of a shoe box, the versatile GLOW Amp One allows silky smooth detailed sound th...
I thought I had a composting disaster this week, but then I found out all the normal things are happening, even if they don't look normal.
So the other day I opened the bottom tray to see if any o...
Check this out. Kudos to Dan Kressin for the patience and attention to detail that is very evident in this Lego mindstorm recreation of the classic Donkey Kong video game....
We know a bunch of you were upset to hear the news that Polaroid was going to stop developing their iconic instant film. We share your pain. The good news is that Polaroid has not closed up shop for g...
One lucky person by the name of DramaMama has won our Curvy Singer. Soft lines, easy function-macality, plenty of stitch options. Our winner's name is not random- jump for her story......
Amadana might be as close as we have to the heydays of Braun's no nonsense, handsome industrial design for common homehold electronics and appliances. There's a timeless quality to their designs that ...
Helsinki design firm, Nordkapp, has more than just a few ideas we'd love to incorporate into our homes. From the gummy-candies light fixtures, fun kick-back furniture, and open floor plan, it's pure f...
We have two universal remote controls. Both are Logitech Harmony remotes but one uses replaceable batteries while the other one has it's own charging dock and a rechargeable battery. What we have come...
This might be the one to rival the Unplggd-favorite Fliqlo Screensaver.
This free Word Clock screen saver by Simon Heys is a typographic timepiece. It displays every single word necessary to express ...
In laptop design, portability is a must for most users. A laptop must be small, portable and fit in a small bag. However, this isn't true for all users. Designers, programmers and even gamers use mobi...
Now we always thought the design aesthetic of beer was neon signs, beach babes, and potato chips. Heineken has just proven us wrong......
You think your MacBook overheats?
Firefighters have put out a blaze that burned for more than three hours this morning at Apple Research and Development Headquarters.
Lets just hope this doesn't pu...

There's no reason to hide your computer anymore. They used to be something so technical that home computers were banished to never-used basements and dens. Now iMac, Eee and HP are making models that...
Anybody who has a bare lightbulb hanging from their ceiling knows what a pain it can be to deal with. If you don't want a regular shade and would rather go for something that resembles a permanent fix...
The Scope Clock brings the retro back into retro chic, all with cathode ray tube goodness. The Scope Clock was designed by David Forbes and embodies the retro-chicness of gadgets. This clock is actual...
Logitech's diNovo Edge keyboard joins the ranks of other slim form factor keyboards, this one packed with a layout and features specific to OS X, including one-touch access to Mail, Safari, iTunes, Co...
I know, I know -- there's just too many How To's today. So much you probably don't want to see any more for the rest of the week! However, a good "How To" is worthy of notice, and this one from Lifeha...
TV's integrated into mirrors are nothing new as we have seen them before. What makes DND Casa different is that they are integrating these hidden TV's into all types of furniture......
You're probably wondering, "Who the heck is Roland Emmerich?" Well, if you've been hitting those box office hits since day one, you might recognize some of his works from Independence Day and 10,000BC...
While doing research on surround sound we found an interesting podcast on Dolby's site. The podcast is hosted by Craig Eggers, a 20 year veteran in the audio field, and Jack Buser, a self proclaimed ...
We have known and loved Pandora for a long time. The way it just ends up playing what you like based on some initial selections is great. Unfortunately, if you live outside of the US, you don't know ...
After taking a look at Jennifer Perkin's featured studio on Curbly, we were blown away at the behemoth-sized inspiration board behind her computer monitor. Though some may consider this a messy way of...
Level 34, as in 34 centimeters off the floor. This modular office system by Vitra is built around the bench you see in the picture for a few different reasons. So why 34?

Luckily we don't work in an office anymore, so we get full climate control of our workspace, but we do remember the office politics around the A/C thermostat. What always happens in large offices wit...
This news story out of Ireland is not really about home technology, but maybe it will inspire a few 'Wow!'s at the office and make you go home and hug your cell phone. It might also make a few people ...
This modern lighting fixture might look like an umbrella, but it looks more like a flying saucer or a strange jellyfish. The fixture was created by French furniture designers Beau & Bien. The Smoon Om...
Bedol has created a great way of tracking the time, in an eco-friendly way, without using any batteries. The clock is powered by water and salt alone. Even though this might sound far fetched, it's a ...
Laure of ATLA sent us this review of her favourite iPhone accessory...
When I first got this felt magenta sleeve for my iPhone, I kind of just thought it was cool and pretty and would help keep my ph...
We wouldn't consider ourselves the Paris Hilton of Tech, but we find that our laptops, like her chihuahuas, are always getting new clothes to wear. We just always seem to buy laptop sleeves, or we fin...
Whether we're inviting two or twelve people over to our place for dinner, we always end up in the kitchen being the chef rather than in the dining room as the host. We'd rather miss our own party than...
When I first came across this, my first thought was Skymall gadget. The plasticky silver industrial design just yelled cheap, cheap, cheap. After thinking a little bit more about the idea of a lit tra...
What better way to celebrate a quadrennial worldwide athletic event than a series of USB flash drives. Lenovo was the first Chinese company to support the Beijing Olympic Committee and is the official...
The easiest way to making a room work is to pick a theme and stick with. Take Lucas for example: by mixing white IKEA lack shelves and storage and a nice big wood desk, he's created a balance between ...
What looks like a speaker in a ceramic case at first glance is actually a speaker housed in lacquered wood. What looks like a compact portable speaker is actually almost 2 feet in diameter. And what l...
Who would have thought someone could build a complete PC chasis completely from LEGOs? With the help of some CAD software and a few weeks of dedication, Luke has created a new project for the internet...
A few years ago, while eating at a diner, we saw a guy wearing a gun holster. We were a bit freaked out (and a tad intrigued) until we realized he was using his gun holster to store his cell phone no...
Last month's green ideas left their mark on us, as we continued to discuss eco-friendly gadgets (composters, washer that flush, and Ikea's delve into the solar panel market). We also talked wires, bo...
