If you are into multi-monitor setups, the flipIT Duo Desk may be right up your alley. The desk can accommodate dual 19″ monitors or one cinema widescreen display up to a 36″ case width. Screen angles can be adjusted to your liking,there are cable ports on both sides, and there is an option of having built-in power strips and / or cable connector boxes. On the negative side, the flipIT looks like a modification of some cheap desk unit you would buy in Target. No word on pricing. [Smartdesks via Bornrich]
Goldfish lead boring lives. Granted, they are probably not intelligent enough to realise what they are missing, but with the threat of a porcelain grave constantly looming—these little guys need to live for the moment. This “Speedfish” bowl allows them to do just that with a design that focuses on the exciting world of head to head, edge of your seat fish racing competition. Unfortunately, the Speedfish track is only a concept piece, which is a bummer to Goldfish and racing fans everywhere. [R'pure via OutNext via Coolbuzz]
TomTom does great satnavs. Everybody knows that. Any product that has the ability to get John Cleese to tell me where to go gets bonus points in my book.
But what really sets TomTom apart from the other satnav manufacturers is TomTom Home, their PC suite of software that lets you plan your trips in advance, manage your points of interest and upload not just John Cleese to your GPS device, but a whole raft of other funny voices as well.
Well, TomTom Home just got a major upgrade, turning it into a user-generated content utopia. It now works on both Mac and PC, and offers the freedom to change your welcome image, upload your own points of interests as well as download other users POIs and rate other people’s content.
But what makes this really exciting is that you can create your own map and overlay it onto the map in your satnav. This could be anything from a walking route to a scenic drive you enjoy. It could also possibly be used to rectify any mistakes in the WhereIs mapping, a feature that is already available in the European version of the Home software.
And if you’re thinking that your wallet is about to be in for a pounding, you can rest easy – the service won’t actually cost you a cent. Well, user-generated content won’t cost you. I’m sure they won’t stop charging for Mr Cleese’s witty commentary on your driving abilities.
Stripped down mobile powered by everyday movement? Sounds good. Looks… ahhh…straight out of an overblown late 80s sci-fi novel mutilated by early 90s CGI. The description was even promising.

Here’s two visions of our future home. One has wall-sized TVs, lots of plastic wares and all-electric grooming tools. The other, touchscreens everywhere, smart kitchen counters and auto-thermostats.
Here’s another set of stunning, but rejected, Star Wars merchandise. These amazing examples of human genius go from a mini-fridge with a door made from Han Solo frozen in carbonite to a Death Star BBQ, actual Leia’s hair headphones and even an AT-AT chair caddy to hold your magazines, snacks and Pepsi—the marketing masterminds proposed all these gadgets—next to your favourite sofa. The best ones are frightening, yet irresistible.
