Casulo - not just a room but an entire apartment’s furniture in one small
2008-04-08 17:43:00
Casulo is a brilliant, modular setup designed by Marcel Krings & Sebastian Mühlhäuser, it may look just like any box but in fact it hides probably all the vital furnishings needed for an entire apartment (for those who aren’t too picky about furnitures!) — in a small 31″ x 47″ box. The Casulo won the “Abraham & David Roentgen Awardâ€� in November 2007 for its “cleverness, finesse and qualitative realisation of the ideaâ€�. How effective is this design? Two people can lift, carry, and assemble (and then disassemble, when it’s time to move) each piece of furniture within the Casulo in about 10 minutes! The best of all, no tools are required for assembly, every part of the boxy exterior is used, no non-environmentally friendly packaging. Smart and green idea! [via Casulo]

Rumored 3G Apple iPhone pics - could this be the real thing???
2008-04-07 17:51:00
Not very long ago, we heard rumors that the next iPhone would come in 3G and that the reason the present iPhone doesn’t have 3G was because it would be too demanding for the iPhone’s battery, emptying it in just minutes! Analysts then said, the next iPhone if it was to come in 3G then it will be equipped with OLED display since it would consume less power - basically the only way to maintain good battery life and have 3G capability. Now what we have here are pics (actually just one picture) of what could be what I described above, the next iPhone! It’s just a picture of the back, thus my skepticism. But if this was the real thing, I would be quite impressed because I like what they have done to it, giving it a shiny black finish makes the iPhone different and stand out from the iPods.

Strange gadgets: Exmocare BT2 lets your employer monitor your emotions and
2008-03-15 23:39:00
Exmocare’s latest BT2 monitoring system is probably any nasty employer’s new best friend, why? Simply because the BT2 is designed to find out the physiological and I suppose also the emotional state of the person that’s wearing it’s wristband (see picture below). It’s a great tool for the working industry, because it’s probably a good indicator to see if your employee is someone who’s really able to cope with just physiologically or whether he’s just saying that he can on the other hand. As you would imagine, the BT2 just leads to further loss of privacy for anyone that’s wearing these wristbands not that employers (like restaurant managers) give you much of it! But have a look at this, it’s a control panel type monitoring system for your employer to keep a good close eye of you, from the inside!
