We can only imagine that at least a few staffers over at Art Lebedev Studios get paid to do nothing but conjure up ideas, because this one is just marvelous. And marvelously simple, but that’s beside the point. The Luxofor traffic light concept improves upon a nearly archaic design that still relies on spherical fixtures [...]

While we don’t expect it to be the type of interface that’ll replace touch screens anytime soon, Bandai is certainly forging some interesting new ground with its so-called Tuttuki Bako device, or “poking box,” which actually lets you stick your finger right into the device to control the on-screen finger. That’s apparently done with the [...]

While our minds know that today’s mice, particularly those with lasers, work just fine on virtually any (non-moist) surface, that doesn’t stop our hearts from missing the soft, forgiving feel of our home mousing surface while on the road.

Ah, the good old days of rebelling in a classroom. I remember folding and throwing paper planes around with my mates, each trying to see just how far our planes are able to fly. We had to rely on hand power to launch our delicate flying machines, but how times have changed! Enter the electronic [...]

I seriously can’t believe that one can be that busy until he/she is unable to keep track of all the emails coming in. That’s what mail filters are for, and it certainly pays to have push email on your mobile device to manage the backlog of mails even when you’re out of the office. Still, [...]
