Oh man. We spent the whole day at Lowe's, then Ikea, then building all the stuff we got at Lowe's and Ikea. Is there anything more fun than bringing back all the stuff you got for your home and setti...

The economy is confused and hurt, perhaps its time to think about what really counts....
Times are tough and people are cutting down everywhere. Why not try and cut down on one of the expenses that you'll pay almost every month of every year? That's the kind of thinking that brought TED t...
A quick list of interesting and miscellaneous tech links that you might find of interest: an LED light bulb that will last 30 years, an interactive mirror that puts your iPhone to shame, a robotic ser...
This news is coming from the UK, but if our ex-boyfriend's habits are any indication, it's still a stateside trend: 10 percent of web browsers have logged on to their laptops during visits to the toil...
One more week to go, so if you are still trying to figure out what to carve into your pumpkin then have we got some techy options for you. Forget the political pumpkins or the lovely floral pumpkins...
Hello. We have come to a decision as to the outer appearance of the subwoofer. A few of you gave us some good ideas... really liked the astroturf and leather suggestions ex-specially. Both of those...
We know you're probably thinking... "Hey, I've seen those speakers somewhere..." Do you mean these? Correctamundo! These are the Minipod's little cousins codenamed "Micropod" and you can mount them on...
Earlier this month Best Buy opened a new store in Aurora, Colo., specifically for women. No this isn't catering to specific religious zealots, rather the electronics superstore thinks that since women...
Saarinen's Tulip table is obviously a favorite of ours here at Apartment Therapy, and an iconic design that is instantly recognizable. So much so that it has inspired electronics like the KLH Model Tw...
Memories of the good ol' Atari days came streaming in when we stumbled upon these great wall vinyls from creatively named "vinylwalldesigns'" Etsy shop. Especially a white wall - throw one of these on...
Being a perpetual renter who thrives in the city life, we don't have much room to be picky about our bathroom amenities. We've even seen (and considered—eek!) a unit where the bathroom opened ri...
You know the situation. You just bought a new HDTV and you are trying to fit it into your room. It's not always easy and it's challenging, especially when you don't have a lot of space. One thing that...
There's been a lot of talk about carbon footprints, but who the heck has time to calculate their own? Sure we all know we contribute, but we're not about to plug in how many miles we drove this week ...
It's true. It is now officially impossible to watch TV without having the remote control in your hand.

Dear Unplggd,
I'm a design student whose desk is just large enough for my laptop, an open book and maybe a lamp if I squeeze it all tightly (maybe the addition of a thumb drive if I'm reading a small ...
Even though we live in a digital world, a touch of the analog just looks good sometimes. Analog clocks and watches will never go out of style. That's why it's cool to find new ways of displaying the s...
If you're already living in a home without a VHS tape in sight, congratulations. Some others, we know, have a harder time purging old technology. If you're sentimentally hanging on to your tapes, why ...
On the way back from lunch yesterday I found this retro-tastic piece of obsolete technology, an 8 track player, sitting curbside all forlorn and hoping to escape the landfill. Of course, I had to take...
Product: Acoustic Research AV100b
Value: $229
Description: A couple weeks ago we reviewed the AR AV100b and luved it (review after the jump). This week, we give one away to one lucky reader. Tube so...
We've featured a bunch of great cases for iPods and iPhones, but most of them will set you back a bit of cash. In these cash strapped times, why not make one for yourself at home? In fact, the one ava...
We had an astounding 740 submissions to our Orb Mod1 Plus System giveaway and got some great movie soundtrack recommendations! Braveheart, Close Encounters, and our personal fave Ghost Dog! Well, who...
How could we have not spotted this before? It's brilliant! And to be honest, one of the best looking DIY solutions we've ever stumbled upon (not to hate on the Vika Inge Leg stands or anything)....
Laptops get hot. No doubt about it. So what can you do? Wear thicker pants? Work at a desk instead of a couch? That's no fun. That's why we are rounding up some ways in which you can work with your la...
Even though the IKEA PS has been released just a little while ago, it's become one of IKEA's most popular pieces since the LACK shelf. We've yet to see a clever IKEA hack (probably because it's metal,...
Like with snowflakes, no one entertainment area looks alike. No matter how many we see, everyone seems to put their own flare on their media centers, despite all having the same items within them -- ...
Some of you are purging your old or unused electronics for a clean, minimalist media center or desktop. Because you've been on our green living site, Re-Nest.com, you'll probably know that the respons...
Call it a fisheye lens fetish or a shameless Incase plug, but we're just totally head over heels for this colorful display of iPhone cases. Our favorite detail are those new Incase metallic cases rele...
Just a concept, but an idea we really like because of the reproducible DIY factor and the unfinished aesthetic. Polish design group gogo's "cut off products” are just what they seem: speakers and cl...
A stylish pad needs a stylish looking iPod dock. There are thousands of different models on the market right now, and it's not easy to find the right one. If you are looking for an sleek and modern lo...
We still mourn the death of the arcade...as much as we love our consoles, there was something magical about strolling up to that cabinet to play game du jour, whether it was SF2, Rampart, or Ring King...
In our continuing push for home printers to be used to publish artwork we give you 30 Reasons. This site features a political poster a day until election day. The posters, while all very Democrat, va...
Home designers have always encouraged people to declutter when they can - that's easy when it comes to large pieces of furniture that no longer match the decor, but does the same apply to tech items? ...
Like with televisions, computer monitors are getting flatter and flatter, which means you aren't limited to keeping your screen on a stand. Previously we looked at a whole Wall-Mounted Apple Rig and ...
We recently picked up some of those $1.99 bamboo stalks at Ikea. The reason for the impromptu purchase was the possibility of finding a solution to an ever-lasting problem: We want plants in the house...
Colour inspiration can come almost anywhere, at any time. Checking out new sneakers at the local kicks shop (sneaker designs are some of the best colour inspiration sources), hiking out in nature (nob...
It's not that we think people are actually trying to match their wood panelled dated basements with their laptops. No sir. What is clear though is that the retro vibe can be a good one when it comes ...
USB hubs are getting smaller and smaller these days. It's not uncommon to drop them behind your desk, because they are almost always sitting on the edge of it. The fact of the matter is that the USB c...
Being AT fans, we are no stranger to the tabletop catch-all dish. It's great on a desk to catch paperclips and wayward rubberbands, and it's great on a bedside table to catch rings and other late-nigh...
Putting together a home theater room isn't always as easy as it first seems. Most people just mix and match, but whenever you move or get a new place, you've got the opportunity of putting together a ...
Just a reminder that you have until midnight PST today to enter this week's giveaway. We're handing out a $1,000 surround sound system from Orb, which we reviewed early last week.

Need more tools to help kill those inconspicuous Energy Vampires? Hey, Mi Casa Verde hates them too. They also understand it's not easy being green, but they're going to make an attempt to streamline...
Any way you can avoid having your home office look like a display at Staples is worth looking into. Maya*Made has a great project that involves turning a burlap coffee beans sack into a mounted cork ...
We have to admit we had yet to purchase one app from the iTunes shop for either of our 3G iPhone or the iPod Touch. Strange to spend so much on these devices and yet we're frugal (cheap?) about spendi...
While we must admit, the Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard has been around for almost 2 years, it still continues to be one of the finest choices in HTPC and Playstation 3 owners' top list of peripherals ...
Because Unplggd loves you, we don't want to see you be the 4th "The Dark Knight" Joker at any party this Halloween. Lucky for you, we've found these do-it-yourself tech-related costumes while scouring...
Despite the fact that electronic paper cell phones can only display information on their low-powered screens in black and white, they are so efficient that it just makes sense to have phones with e-pa...
22, 528 recycled computer keycaps and 192 custom keycaps, those are the number of keyboard keys that went into the construction of TEXTile, a customized active keyboard and interactive software instal...

More and more people are relying exclusively on laptops nowadays. Students, business people, road warriors, IT professionals, there is a clear trend that being mobile with your rig is necessary in the...
We love built in floating desks. They are the perfect way to get valuable workspace without the visual heaviness that comes with legs. You know what we like even more? Built in desks that both look go...
Classic arcade console games are the perfect addition to a basement playroom or bachelor pad. But what about those of us who love a round of pinball but don't have the space for a full-on pinball mach...
After some inspiration on how to save on design spending over at AT:Chicago last week, we thought of the next biggest thing aside from a complete remodel or furniture splurge - tech! Here are some gre...
What do you do with all of your old cassette tapes?
Throw them out, recycle them or reuse them? There are multiple ways of doing either though, and most of the time, old cassette tapes just get tosse...
We learned the hard way that pets and home technology should be kept separately. All it took was a new chew-y little bunny rabbit and a few delicious forgotten floor lamp cords behind the couch to fig...
Instructables contributor Fusebox has an inspired and high tech use for those old Mac Classics you might have stored away in the attic for some charming Halloween fun. His pumpkin painted Mac Classics...
Just as important as conserving electricity is conserving water. While we can do this by making changes to our daily habits, you can also do it with crazy things like this combo washing machine toile...
We'll admit, we haven't given Microsoft enough credit for their latest efforts in stepping up the game against their big rivals Apple, Google, and Yahoo. Even though we are still enjoying the wealthy ...
We are definitely fans of multi monitor setups and funky screensavers. The extra working space, the bigger viewing area, the ability to simulate an F1 race track on your desk. What? Ok, the last one ...
We've seen more than a few simple ways of storing, backing up and accessing your family's data. You might thing that the best way would be to buy one of the media servers, like the one pictured above ...
Last April Good Magazine and animator Nigel Holmes created a video that explains how wasteful vampire power is. In the short film, Nigel narrates us through the cost of keeping your computer, microwa...
We've got a friend who, after two or three cell phone changes in the past month, still isn't happy with his cell phone. His old phone (which he had for several years, you should know) was working for ...
